There are AAAs who have nothing to envy to many AAs, but certain video game sagas how Rockstar moves mountains; We see this every day with GTA 6.
Interestingly, Dan Hauser, who left his company in 2020, is now talking about why he did it. The reason? Apparently it was because of GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.
The man who was the head of the studio with his brother is now revealing those reasons, something that makes a lot of sense when looking at his next project.
Houser is focused on his own work, not on big AAA sandbox: “The scale of the last two (GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2) is beyond what you imagineHe told BBC Radio 4.
“I worked with incredibly talented people, so I thought that this group, with my modest contribution to their enormous talent, I could do something incredible; that’s why I worked there“.
But it was too much both projects have hundreds of hours of gameplay and it simply tired Hauser to the point where he had to leave the company.
“The projects were very long and difficult, they took a lot of time“, he answered the question about give up on Rockstar Games.
“It can be quite a difficult way to finish things at this scale, with so many moving parts.
You’ve got 450,000 lines of dialogue and just as many bits of other stuff trying to fit together at the same time. It’s a huge production experience.“.

Manage the development of games as big as those produced by Rockstar “consumes all your time for yearshe added.
“I don’t know if I can make another game like this.“, so he made a decision. Given that GTA 6’s budget looks astronomical, can we say he did the right thing?
He new gta will arrive in 2026 – unless it’s delayed again – and that’s 13 years after its predecessor, will it match the adventures of Trevor, Michael and Franklin?
