Falls right in line with the schedule of releasing a game near the end of a console lifecycle so they can make it crossgen with a remaster
Here's my take assuming this is legit... Which it's probably not.
If they're working on a remaster, it either won't take many people, or it won't take much time. We're still far enough out from next gen, that they could put only a few people on it, and they'd have plenty of time to complete it. I personally doubt they are even touching a remaster yet, because post launch bug fixing is priority number one right now. Priority two is ensuring that RDR2 Online is ready to go. This would involve pre launch bug fixing, and anti money expliot finding.
If R* plan on a Bully 2, it would make a ton of sense to keep it small compared to RDR2 and GTA. 2020 seems doable if it is indeed a smaller scale game. The Bully 2 rumors flying around lately though... It's really anyone's guess.
GTAVI should be well under way by now by a second team. R* marches to a different beat when it comes to release schedules. I imagine the main determining factors in how soon we see the next GTA depends on a couple of things...
•If RDR2 Online takes off and becomes wildly successful with tons of Armadillo Card sales, it might be awhile.
•If GTAO remains popular, and Shark Card sales continue, it might be awhile.
•If much of the GTAO population moves on to RDR2 Online, but then move on to something else after a year, we might get the next GTA sooner rather than later. RDR2 Online has the potential to be huge at first, stripping the GTAO playerbase, but dropping off earlier due to the slower pace/nature of RDR. R* would likely want to push GTA out asap if that were to happen.

I hate that this statement is now probably cannon for R*'s business model....
I would guess this is part of the "remaster" for 2020. Kind of like how GTA5 came out for PS4/PC and what not.
I hope the Bully 2 is legit. I liked Bully a lot.

Just like GTA V, and almost like RDR2 now.

No mention of RDR2 online makes this seem fake.

Sounds like a waste of resources working on a remaster given the game will most likely be backwards compatible.
How many changes could they possibly put in to make the purchase worthy?
EDIT: Actually a VR remaster could probably sell a few copies...

Decent control scheme? Hurr hurr hurr

Well it worked for GTA5.

True, but the situation is a bit different where GTAV couldn't be played on current gen machines without a remaster.

I think Rockstar is going to want to release GTA on PS4 and XBOX, so they can release a remaster version 2 years later on PS5 and NextBOX. I also expect RDR2 to be re released on PS5 and the next XBOX of course.

Well if the next gen version is a sizeable jump (better graphics, possible 60fps, etc) then i'm sure many people will buy the next gen version. I mean you take the PC space for example, tons of games get remasters/remakes even though you could already have the orig game in your Steam account. I'm sure it will be similar to that on next gen.

I believe it. The key to R* success is to double down on scope/size/budget for hype and let the games sell for years. So a next gen GTA taking that long makes sense. RDR2 will be an appetizer in comparison.
Plus, they aren't going to release the next GTA to a tiny launch user base. Around mid of the gen in 2023-4 will maximize sales.

Man, these sequels do take shitloads of time by now. Same with TES. We went from 2 new entries last gen to barely a remaster this gen. I can't believe I'm actually wishing back shorter dev cycles. Shit takes so long. I'm not getting any younger you know and the older I get, the less time I have for games.

If it’s to be believed, they apparently and potentially already started the casting for a game. Not sure how legitimate it is though, was back in early October.

GTA V (+ Online) has been and still is a massive cash cow for Rockstar. They don't have any pressure to release another any time soon.
Also; Read Dead Redemption 1 came out 8 years ago. Eleven years between a massive hit that still sells and a fully fledged and polished sequel for next generation of consoles is just realistic, really.

11 years gap between GTAV and VI?
Too much wait for the most sucesfull videogame franchise of all time.

If this is true then it means that the next-gen consoles will not be backwards compatible. I hope they will be.

I'm disappointed that we might not get a new GTA game on this gen. I played GTA V on Xbox 360. I hope they make a sequel to L.A. Noire.

Obviously this is still speculation, but why are people surprised that the wait until GTA VI is going to be so long? They just released one of the most successful media products of all time, they don't need to rush in getting another flagship title out. It's taken them 8 years to create something as massive as RDR2 - if GTA VI is going to be even bigger, it's going to need more time. Just look at Rockstar's history of game releases, these things are taking longer and longer to make as they get more complex. An 11 year gap between GTA titles would not be surprising at all.
Also, I think I can die happy after Bully 2... assuming it's real.

It's reads almost too real. Like scary believable even. GTA VI kinda needs to be pushed that far out. We needed time to miss it. And with GTA V online and with the way it's selling, it's still too soon to put the next game out. And lets be honest.....Rockstar needs a true 3 game rotation of games that are the star. RDR and GTA are not enough.

No clue how legit, but I love the sound of a Bully 2 that is only slightly bigger than the first game. There was so much charm and care packed into the first one, and I think the map being small but handcrafted contributed greatly to that.
My only thing is that the game might be weird with good modern graphics... So much of the game was juvenile hijinx, which might not translate very well to something like 4k RDR2 level graphics.

I have a hard time believing that they "began work on a remaster".
The asssets will already be above what these consoles can handle and will be scaled down accordingly. Id have thought the "remaster" /top end build would already be in place. Wouldn't artists shoot above with assets anyway?
Its like the GTAV "Remaster". I personally believe it would have the original version and it was scaled down for PS3/360 leaving them to release the proper version for this gen 4/one.
I may be completely wrong I dunno but it seems idiotic to have to scale up and basically make a game twice that releases so soon of each other. I mean were not talking a 10 year gap remaster here.
