What happened
GamesRadar+ reports on an interview with Aaron Garbut, a long-time art director and one of GTA 6's lead developers, who spoke to Edge Magazine about the upcoming game. According to Garbut, Rockstar Games developers were aware of the big expectations surrounding GTA 6 and couldn't simply release a game that met fan expectations. Instead, they aimed to go above and beyond, creating a game with a large scale, detailed world, and interactive features. Garbut compared their efforts to 'building a pyramid on Everest', indicating the ambitious nature of the project. The game's open-world is reportedly massive, with a full sweat system, around 600,000 unique animations, and a dedicated writing team for background NPCs.
