As GTA 4 turns 17, ex-Rockstar technical lead says that if GTA 6 was his baby, he "wouldn’t release any additional trailers" because it's a "boss move"

While he's got nary wrong info, Obbe Vermeij does person his "fingers crossed for Take-Two’s August net report".

We inactive don't cognize GTA 6's nonstop merchandise date, and adjacent the endless cries for Rockstar to merchandise a 2nd trailer consciousness similar they've died down from their moon-obsessed peak. Take-Two's been beauteous unfastened astir this vigor soundlessness being a portion of its plans, and present 1 of GTA 4's cardinal devs has said that not lone does helium reckon those plans are the close call, if it were up to him, GTA 6 wouldn't get a 2nd trailer astatine all.

The dev successful question, long-time Rockstar method pb Obbe Vermeij, has said a just magnitude of worldly astir the studio's latest merchandise implicit the past mates of years, and it's travel up again arsenic he's posted to observe the 17th day of GTA 4's release.

"The archetypal merchandise day was October 16, 2007, successful clip for Christmas," helium recalled astir Niko Bellic's LC odyssey, which ended up debuting connected console connected April 29, 2008, "We made the determination to hold the crippled successful July 2007.

"Only astatine that clip did it go wide we were going to miss the deadline. I’m guessing decision-day for VI volition beryllium similar. Fingers crossed for Take-Two’s August net report."

As ever, Vermeij made it wide that he's got nary wrong info connected GTA 6, having near Rockstar 9 months aft GTA 4 came out. Though, that didn't halt him offering his presumption arsenic to what he'd bash if helium was successful power of this latest release.

"If it was my telephone I wouldn’t merchandise immoderate further trailers," helium wrote, "There is much than capable hype astir VI and the constituent of astonishment is going to marque the merchandise lone bigger arsenic an event." Replying to a instrumentality suggesting that conscionable dropping a merchandise day and thing other would marque everyone's caput explode, the dev added: "It would beryllium a brag move."

While waiting until close earlier merchandise earlier abruptly going all-in connected the GTA 6 selling is beauteous overmuch confirmed to beryllium Rockstar's plan, arsenic I alluded to earlier, not bothering with immoderate much trailers arsenic portion of that ambush is an absorbing take. After all, it's 1 of the astir evident to really enactment that merchandise day quality retired there, unless you favour a elemental societal media graphic oregon newswire post.

All volition surely bash the trick, but it would beryllium Rockstar deciding not to fuss taking different ace astatine decimating YouTube presumption records - that being the nonstop benignant of happening execs typically emotion to beryllium capable to boast about.

We'll person to spot however it goes, but immoderate happens, GTA 6'll beryllium a monolithic all-consuming meteor blast that different studios have already planned to avoid having their games blown distant by.
