The same reports also quoted the supposed interview of Benzies from other news outlets where the former Rockstar North president was supposedly quoted as saying that it all started with the idea, then the location, and then the mission, before the map and the story get worked up together.
It seems, however, that most sites picked up the interview with Benzies from way back when he was still connected with Rockstar and most of them are presenting it as rehashed old news to make it new.
From all the rumors and speculations about “GTA 6,” what seems confirmed is that the foundations have been clearly laid out for the game following the commercial success of “GTA 5” and the franchise per se.
However, up until this time, no location or settings have been agreed upon by the development team and only preliminary production has begun on the game possibly involving artwork, drawing boards, rough modeling, among other stuff.
Having said that, it also means that “GTA 6” would be a deeper and much more developed state of a game pretty soon and it seems that the game developer is heading to the direction where a female protagonist will rule the gameplay story and new maps will be created for the game as well.
