It's a game called BeastLink:
Well, they ARE used to releasing... Prototypes
Good lord that looks like a PS3 game. And not a good PS3 game.
. Guess it's early access tho so giving themselves some runway at least.

It looks again like cheap assets on the wall, same visuals as gta trilogy, even frame drops on the trailer.

I grew up with the original "Ultraman"(1966), "Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot", "Monster Week" with "Godzilla" on local uhf/vhf channels. I love the genre.
HOWEVER, Grove Street Games is a trash developer and I will never, ever support the slop they make/produce/shit out.
So no, this one was over for me before it began.
I'll wait for some proper, respectable developers/publishers to get those Kaiju games to us(they're coming down the pipe line but slowly.....)

ZOOM AND ENHANCE
They've somehow created the longest torso'd human I think I've ever seen. Is he crouching or does he have short, stubby midget legs? 6'9" and at least 6 foot of that is torso. And why he holding the gun like that right in front of his face?

EpicStore AF.
But hey, on the bright side, it's got building destruction with permanence (even though debris seems to just be Styrofoam nothingness). We've had a drought of destruction this gen, so points there if anything.

Rockstar destroyed the GTA Trilogy. They produced and approved and ultimately put out the product in its state.
Grove Street is culpable for saying they could get it done at the low price and tight timeline that they committed to, and should not be trusted with those types of bid jobs anymore. They also separately might be shit at making original games, we shall see.
I'm not saying we should give Grove Street a pass. Don't buy this game if it looks dumb. But when assigning blame specifically for a port, you have to either start at the top or be knowledgeable from experience (did Grove Street fuck up other ports?) if you're going to shoot straight at and only at the developer. They are often not the ones with any control in what you pay for.

I get it, but as a "customer" that doesn't matter to me. Not saying Rockstar is an angel either.

Holy shit and they tried to pre-promote this crap? It's basically going to be a shooter where you can take over the enemy and get more kills. Like we haven't played 20 of these and all failed. Aliens, etc Graphics and physics look slightly better than GameCube era also… Hard pass I got 10-15 games in my backlog from 5 years ago that look and play better easily..

I think they also made some of the mediocre mobile GTA ports as well?
Plus they made the second switch port of Ark (from what Google is telling me)

The assumption here is that all of Rockstar oversaw the project and was happy with it altogether
Where whats more than likely is theyre liaison at Rockstar, the only person in charge of ensuring the trilogy releases, was very hands off and just got progress reports and screengrabs/short videos showing the game going.
So its most likely 90% grove street games fault for not being able to complete the task and most likely lying and disguising the progress and 10% the one person okaying it at rockstar who should have used more initiative and been more on top of what was going on instead of blindly believing what was landing on their desk.
My assumption would be rockstar itself is 100% in on GTA6 six and hoped offloading the remasters would allow them to remain focused on GTA6.
The blame is fundamentally on Take 2 considering they are the owners of rockstar and would ultimately be in charge of their IP and licensing

This does not look like a game made by a studio, but instead some asset flipped game made by 1-4 people. Wild to think this is the same studio that was attached to the GTA brand. I don't know how they landed that gig, lol.

They finally managed to splice human and diplodocus genome

Yes. But as a customer speaking up on a forum to communicate with others, you should be as informed as you can be to lend a credible voice to a community.
It's like going, "That pussy Robert Pattison is in another movie? Fuck that and his Twilight ass...", and then he's in Good Time and you realize sometimes it's the bad gig, not the bad actor.
...Except in this case, it's probably way, way less extreme a quality gap than a YA novel and a Safdie movie, but I'm just saying.
The GTA mobile ports are about as good or less than expected for a 2011 release of mid-to-high tier PS2 games ported to a new engine on a variable-spec platform budgeted for a $5 release with no backend MTX for an audience which doesn't pay for videogames. As in, hope for the best but you probably get what you pay for, and unlikely will you get the regal R* treatment.
If I were a Rockstar producer, these mobile ports are certainly not the basis I'd use (especially since they use the already dodgy PC versions to port down) for making a brand new, ney "Definitive" package rerelease of the cornerstone GTA products. Whether that was a R*n pitch or a Grove Street pitch, that's unknown. But you get why Grove Street would have said yes to it being doable because they need the money and they wouldn't know if a miracle might be possible without trying
. Why R* would have said yes at any point, from pitch to final signoff on release, that's where sanity failed.
(Also, yeah, Grove Street did the second Ark Switch port, the "good" one, so like I'm saying, there's a whole picture to be considered.)
...Again, I'm not saying Grove Street doesn't suck, we'll see if BeastLink is anything, but in porting, shit happens; the bad thing is when the shit gets sold to customers.
