Different type of game but yakuza 0 got a pretty good crime story with fun gameplay

Few games make beating a mf ass feel so satisfying :wow:

Not an open world and you can't drive or shoot guns but it's plenty of side missions and activities to get into
I've found good things about that game when I look into it

Sounds like one of those old school arcade games. Anything that's not open world going to seem like practically a side scroller to me at this point


Think I vaguely remember something about a new game where they're going to have like a top-down view

There are former Rockstar employees who are releasing this game this year


Former Rockstar employee is an understatement

He is an executive producer, producer and director


He directed GTA 5;

He sued Rockstar, he asserts that they owe him a lot of money


Leslie Benzies


GTA 6 will be the first GTA without founding brother Dan Houser


Information gathered via AI below

The Houser brothers, Dan and Sam, co-founded Rockstar Games and were central figures in the company's creative direction and success. However, their involvement with Rockstar Games has changed significantly in recent years:
Dan Houser:
* Departure: Dan Houser left Rockstar Games in early 2020 after an extended break following the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018. His last day with the company was March 11, 2020.
* Reason for Departure: While the exact reasons for his departure are not fully public, some speculate it may be related to the intense work culture at Rockstar, especially leading up to the launch of major titles like Red Dead Redemption 2, or a desire for more creative freedom.
* Current Ventures: In 2021, Dan Houser founded a new entertainment company called Absurd Ventures. This company aims to create new universes and tell stories across various media, including video games, books, graphic novels, scripted podcasts, live-action, and animation.
* Future Games: Absurd Ventures has announced an upcoming "story-driven action-comedy adventure game" set within a connected universe called the "Absurdaverse." They have also revealed other projects, including an audio series and a graphic novel. It is important to note that these future games are not associated with Rockstar Games.
* Involvement with Past Rockstar Games: Dan Houser was a key writer and producer for many of Rockstar's most successful and critically acclaimed titles, including the Grand Theft Auto series, Red Dead Redemption series, Bully, and Max Payne 3.
Sam Houser:
* Current Role: Sam Houser remains with Rockstar Games as its president. His role and involvement with the company's projects have not changed.
* Influence: As the president, Sam Houser continues to be a significant figure in shaping the direction of Rockstar Games and its future titles, including the highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI, expected to be released in 2025 or 2026.
Impact on Future Rockstar Games:
* Dan Houser's Absence: Dan Houser's departure means he was likely not directly involved in the writing and production of future Rockstar Games, including Grand Theft Auto VI, as he had taken a break and then officially left before its later stages of development. Some fans have expressed concern about the impact of his absence on the writing and creative direction of future titles.
* Sam Houser's Continued Leadership: Sam Houser's continued role as president ensures a degree of continuity in the overall vision and direction of Rockstar Games. Many key writers and developers who have worked on previous successful titles also remain with the company.
In summary, Dan Houser is no longer with Rockstar Games and is now focused on his new company, Absurd Ventures, and its upcoming projects. Sam Houser remains the president of Rockstar Games and continues to be involved in the development of their future games. While Dan Houser's creative influence on past Rockstar titles is undeniable, the company is moving forward with Sam Houser at the helm, alongside a team of experienced developers.


Leslie Benzies held a significant role in the development of Grand Theft Auto V. His official credits for the game include:
* Producer: Overseeing the overall development process of the game.
* Game Designer: Contributing to the design and mechanics of the gameplay experience.
* Director: Credited as a director for both Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Leslie Benzies was a key figure at Rockstar North and the Grand Theft Auto series for many years. He served as president of Rockstar North and was the lead developer for the main entries from Grand Theft Auto III through Grand Theft Auto V.
After the release of Grand Theft Auto V, Benzies took a sabbatical and subsequently left Rockstar Games in 2016, leading to a legal dispute with the company over unpaid royal
ties.
