Former Rockstar Games developer Obbe Vermeij shares his thoughts on Grand Theft Auto 6 and how he thinks it will go down with fans, and he believes it’s “going to be the best game ever,” even if he’s disappointed at first. some of them.
No relation to Vermeij GTA 6 Since leaving Rockstar Games in 2009. But before that, he worked as a technical director for almost 14 years and played a major role in the programming of GTA 3 and 4, as well as Vice City and San Andreas. Needless to say, he has had a big impact on the Grand Theft Auto series as a whole, and based on the trailer he released, he has some ideas on what the upcoming installment will look like right now.
In a new interview with YouTube content creator SanInPlay, Vermeij reveals he has “no inside information” about the game, but was thoroughly impressed by what we saw. He notes that the trailer’s beach scene, where each individual has their own unique animation, “blows me away.” However, he is not sure how different GTA 6 will really be from the previous game in the series.
“I don’t think it’s going to be wildly different from GTA 5, I think people might be a little disappointed on day one,” says Vermeij. “But it’s still going to be the best game out there.”
Honestly, given how high the expectations are for the next installment, there’s certainly a chance that some may be disappointed depending on what Rockstar can deliver. Vermeij is clearly optimistic—he also says, “I love the Miami weather,” and it “fits the GTA really well.”
For now, we’re still in the dark about a lot of what’s to come in GTA 6 – we’ve only seen a trailer so far, but we know it’s currently slated for release on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. In the fall of 2025.
Rockstar’s owner upped the ante on GTA 6: “The world is in a different place than when we launched GTA 5,” and the sequel could be “unique in the industry.”
