Ok so here goes. I work in the game industry and I learned this from a guy who work in a Sony studio (in a private chat room). Can't tell more.

Some details:

-The game will be divided into 2 timelines; a retro 70-80's vice city and a modern era vice city inspired from Refn's filmography (Driver, Pusher,etc.)

-2 playable characters (well, no it's the same guy but at the 2 different era). Basically the hero will recall flashbacks that happened in his youth allowing us to play both era

-Of course its 1 map, 1 city but with differences and variations according to the specific time

Which means 2 maps, 2 sets of cars, weapons, styling, clothing, NPC social behaviour, slang,etc.

-More interesting:

Actions done in the past flashbacks will impact the modern era of the game (both storyline and side missions).
Synthwave and City Pop will both be the defining soundtrack of the game.

Discuss.
Be mindful those are early discussions, the game is still in heavy development and a lot of those ideas might completely be omitted from the released materials.

Sounds like Driver: Parallel Lines

just wanted to post that... but you were faster lol

 

[kretos]

tell your friend to give this message to Jim Ryan: sign a deal with From to make bloodborne 2 RIGHT FUCKING NOW

 

[mango drank]

I'm digging the 70s-80s setting. The flashbacks / flash-forward thing could be good, depending on execution.

 

[YCoCg]

Dude, you just described Driver: Parallel Lines

 

[Eric187]

GTA ENDGAME! Changing the past doesn’t change the future! Sounds dope though I doubt this is real.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Anyone think R* will have a 60 fps performance mode?

 

[Oida di Figgiano]

If they go Vice City they have to implement pushin yayo like in the scarface game. Don´t really care about the times, but having some "vintage" rick ross x the runners production while hustlin rocks down south beach in the modern era would be pure class.

The temporal impact mechanic sounds interesting though.

 

[ultrazilla]

What?! We need all that 80s synth and neon baby!

Camel Clutch for you

A Sony guy in a chat room just told me that Red Dead Redemption 3 will feature 6 different timelines, with 18 different playable characters.

 

[Birdo]

[SERIOUS] That would suck.

As long as it’s scored by tangerine dream.

LOL.

When I watched WWF wrestling in the 80s, my bro wanted to test out giving me a figure four and see how real it is.

It's fucking real.

 

[bender]

[SERIOUS]

 

[JLB]

Are you [SERIOUS], OP?

 

[Foamy]

Doubt it. Recent GTA maps are huge and theyd have to essentially make them twice between the two timelines almost doubling the time and work load.
Not worth it for the company to do this when they could just come up with another story and avoid it,

 

[Greeno]

I don't know why would a person working at a Sony studio know about the details of the next GTA game. If you were talking about a person working at Sony's marketing team, I would be more inclined to believe you.

 

[Blond]

Lmao I think he trolled you with the Driver Parallel Lines story to see if you’d leak this if your story isn’t total bullshit.

 

[Droxcy]

This is the same leak that other people have been posting for like 8 months now

 

[Piku_Ringo]

Don't hate on Synthwave, pleb.

 

[Kumomeme]

my uncle work at nintendo. he might know about rockstar's game too.

Be like "hold R1, press X and confirm to change character......confirm thru text, email sent for verification"

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

I don’t expect it be in full development yet. The teams are currently working on GTA V for next gen and more GTA Online content.

I wouldn’t expect it until the second half of next gen.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

LMFAO this thread is the most I've laughed in a long while. Someone please create another fantasy thread like this. Please !!!!

I greatly disagree. I believe that team started on GTAVI years ago. Rockstar is made up of multiple teams, they also don't just put 100% of the team on DLC as most developers don't do this. It would be like assuming The Last Of Us 2 isn't being made because they are making a remaster of The Last Of Us 1. Thats usually irrelevant to the development of a brand new title as the amount of people needed for that isn't actually 650 people or something, some port teams are literally made up of like 10 or 15 people.


I mean, how on Earth does Red Dead Redemption 2 exist then? Wasn't that made during a generation where we got a GTA V remaster and GTA online content throughout the generation?

I wish you were right.

It’s definitely been in development for a couple of years but not full development imo. I’m not expecting it until sometime in 2023.

wow, this thread escalated quickly..

 

[Golgo 13]

Once upon a time in NeoGaf, someone claiming to have insider information was required to provide proof to a Moderator or face a permanent ban.

EviLore Can we reinstate that rule, please?

 

[mikefrails]

GTA rumors tend to eventually be correct when they start trickling out. I’d at least take the setting and split timeline approach as real because we’ve heard about Vice City revisit for years now.

 

[njean777]

I really hope we go back to Vice City, and Tommy better be in it. That was my favorite GTA game and I want to return to Vice City so bad. I loved the 80's style and just everything about it. BRING IT ON BABY!!!!

 

[Joey.]

This is a rumour that has been tossed around before....

Rockstar really needs to give us something or we'll be stuck in rumourland forever. I remember last year at this time thinking the announcement will be real soon.

Its been too long since GTA5...give it to us Rockstar (plz)
