It's likely he's retiring, and I'm just totally speculating now, but in the Benzies lawsuit, he mentioned aspirations that he and the Houser brothers had to go independent of Take Two or start their own company. I wonder with the recent report of Take Two wanting more games if the Houser brothers are starting their own thing. I'm just doing wishful thinking, but it'd be something.
Maybe but what is locked down in the focus on single player. Can't say the same about the games after that though.Is it safe to assume GTA6 is far enough in development to be fairly locked down script wise?
Dan was the writer or co-writer on every 3D GTA, both Red Deads and Bully.
One guy does not make or break a game the magnitude of GTA in this day and age. I swear some of you just like to overreact to everything
actually the Houser brothers are very influent on those games, so i don't agree with you
Dan was the writer or co-writer on every 3D GTA, both Red Deads and Bully.
They ain't starting their own thing.
Why would they waste all the money they earned to just start their own thing? Take two are right to ask for them to be faster considering thousands of staff they literally got. It's one of the biggest or biggest studios in the world when you combine it all.
Also take two were asking for Rockstar to speed up in the last month or so. Dan went on a break right after RDR2.
Maybe he didn't like the direction of just being a GTA online studio for years. Remember he's the main writer in all the games. I'm sure he would love to write more stories for different games and releasing games faster would allow him to do that.
Take two are not stupid. They know how big Dan and Sam are. I doubt they had anything to do with this decision. Leslie also left on bad terms with everyone. Dan is still there until March. Maybe he is retiring. Maybe he had a falling out with his brother over how they should proceed. Maybe he wanted to make more single player games like Bully2, but his brother wanted to make GTA 6 next.
And Capcom came back š¤Square has fallen
Blizzard has fallen
Rockstar is going to fall
DEATH TO THE OLD GODS
I have no idea or opinion on what he might be doing, but I really don't think money is any kind of concern or evidence to contrary. Certainly they wouldn't have any trouble finding someone to fund that hypothetical venture.
If you look even at the last decade worth of sales and revenue, Dan's games dominate the charts. If you couple that with online revenue through GTA5 it obliterates it.
So he will be back to working for someone again?
So why not stay with take 2 like his brother?
What Leslie said about them breaking away was way before GTA online came a big thing. There's quite a few possibilities maybe he's had a creative difference with his brother which happens, or he wants to move into TV or retirement.
The Houser brothers won't find anything as big as cash cow as GTA online.
A game thrusting worldwide top 10 charts since 2013 isn't incorrect at all, that's quite the opposite, it's a perfectly mainstream product.
Take-two going the Konami route and booting the VP? Classy! But I guess we won't see as many mega-titles from Rockstar from now on
Nowhere, but I like sometimes to make my own narrative. But I do think that Dan was a strong force that was pushing for great writing and with him leaving, I think there are fewer left to push for that game structure. There was that article a couple of weeks ago that said take two was pressuring rockstar management to make games faster. And a faster release schedule means less focus on big stories.Where does it say he was booted and why would this change the kind of games Rockstar creates š
or maybe joining Benzies at BUILD A ROCKET BOY babyy
Surely Phil could swoop in and help set up the ideal working environment in which Dan Houser's creative juices can flow freely? It would be a pity if Mr. Houser would cease to create stuff!
