How has Rockstar managed to pump out quality titles so consistently and for so long?
How has Rockstar managed to pump out quality titles so consistently and for so long?
They've pumped out two titles in the last like 10 years.
two good writers
their next game is bombing though, since one of the leader writers is leaving
Has Rockstar ever made a game with good gameplay?
All their games seem slow & shallow with no mechanics
based observation
midnight club, max payne, red dead redemption 1
>good writers
most of their stories are just discount versions of better films. not saying they are bad but there is certainly a lot of room for improvement.
Rockstar's business strategy is releasing a blockbuster game once every 5 years and selling 50 million copies instead of pumping out titles annually that will sell 5-10 million copies. That's how you end up with all that production value. Though I wouldn't necessarily equate production value with quality. RDR2 has insane production value but I'm not a huge fan.
Based british boomers that just wanted to mock stereotypes, same as Rareware in its prime.
they started off as a music label, therefore actually have decent taste and higher iq, so have a better understanding of aesthetic value and creativity.
kind of like how games made in the 90s were made by nerds rather than pure consumer replica subhumans
Talented writers. Don't expect the same thing for GTA 6 though. I think they're about to go woke.
making a film carbon copy into a game doesn't work at all. R* games are exceptional at capturing the essence of a sub genre of movies into one game.
after having tremendous success with doing what they felt like on lower budgets; allowed them to continue to do whatever they wanted as the budgets crept up, with publishing executives playing second fiddle. an exception to the rule.
inb4 NO ITS NOT
british people make based games
named fuckin'Rockstar
Crunching their workers to the brink of insanity. Read the book Jacked for some insight into their work culture
bait
>quality titles
They have not made a good game since SA and RDR1.
They don't. Their games are just a slightly better variant of the Ubisoft/Bethesda open world formula. The only difference is that Rockstar releases one game per generation now, so they can afford to crank the production value through the roof.
Rockstar of David shills incoming
They haven't.
they invented the movie games genre
Max Payne 3 was their last semi-decent game
Max payne 3 is so good.
their next game will be a success, the writers have already implemented their ideas in the game and it will be developed according to the plan. after that it will be a downhill though.
Please name any quality title besides manhunt and bully. Gta is just a huge succsessfull franchise for 80 IQ's, the games will always be remembered as a glitchy mess made by jews on cocaine
Red Dead Redemption.
honestly i feel like GTAV has better written dialogue and set-pieces than most of the industry
Up until San Andreas I liked their gameplay. It still had very snappy gameplay. Then the realism meme took over.
people hoped max payne 3's "perfect controls" would be the standard for rockstar games.
