Sounds like a load of horseshit.

Kingdom Come Deliverance inside joke

Good luck competing with Kingdom Come 2.

I can't see Rockstar's themes in a medieval setting. Then again, Bully also sounded like the rantings of a madman having fever dreams before it came out.

Assuming they don't get lazy with the controls again, I could be excited for such a game from Rockstar.

GTA London 1550

 

[Ethereals]

On first glance the only thing i can think about is how much money they can put into this... but then if i actually think about it, Rockstar has insane issues getting basic third person controlls and shooting right and feel good after ~5 tries... and they didnt get better at it..
I really really hope they hire some new guys because them making any kind of melee combat system when they cant pull of third person shooters is yeah.. lol

 

[CuteFaceJay]

sounds like it'll be a good laugh

 

[rofif]

Bully is totally irrelevant for european gamers. I never even played it so I don't care about sequel...
But medieval rdr could be interesting but I kinda fail to see how different it could be from rdr2

 

[azz0r]

If they can ensure theres no input lag then my hype is off the scale.

 

[GymWolf]

I'm all in.

Except the fact that their melee system is a slow cluncky utter shit so how you traduce that on a melee system for medieval combat?

 

[Pallas]

I’d love for a Bully sequel
Instead but this could be interesting, just hope it’s not like a Elder Scrolls clone. Hopefully they stick to what they are good with.

 

[SleepDoctor]

I want Bully 2, GTA 6 can wait imo. But this sounds interesting.

Someone at work showed me Mordhau and it looks like so much fun. Im kinda hoping for a console port. Been avoiding building a pc lol.

 

[Solarstrike]

Saddle up, let's do this

 

[DonF]

I would love to see rockstar's take on medieval fantasy.

But I'm team fake.

 

[gunslikewhoa]

I look forward to the worst combat in the history of video games.

 

[GenericUser]

Below is some information I obtained from a friend of mine who works at Rockstar.

 

[sublimit]

I don't like Rockstar's games but i love medieval settings. I'm moderately interested.

What do you mean "totally irrelevant"? Im european and Canis Canem Edit is one of my favourite Rockstar games. Would love a sequel.

Didn't want to waste all that horse tech I guess.

Grand Theft Equestrian. Can't wait!

 

[TacosNSalsa]

Grand Theft Cabbage Cart

 

[kraspkibble]

combat isn't exactly rockstar's strong point and i'm supposed to be excited for a game with swords and shit?

 

[abcdrstuv]

It doesn't seem like their engine is built for it, but if they have a great "dueling" mechanic, it could be ok. There are places for them to go tonally that other "medieval" games haven't - Robert Baratheon seems like a very "Rockstar" character type.

OT, but on the subject of medieval games, it struck me after I played Far Cry Primal that the perfect B-side for that franchise would be some sort of "Far Cry: Sherwood", with color schemes like the old Warner Bros. Eroll Flynn, swords and bows, forest outposts etc.

 

[GreyHorace]

Hell yeah. I'm all for a medieval game and Rockstar's take on it. We've had one from Ubisoft (Assassin's Creed 1), a fantasy version from CD Projekt Red (The Witcher 3), let's see what twist the makers of GTA and Red Dead can bring to knights and nobility. There's a lot of potential for a gritty storylines that Rockstar is known in the High Middle Ages.

[Secesh]

We’ve had Skyrim for years.

 

[Myths]

As long as there is a twist or excellent world background with fantasy elements to distinguish it from your LOTR/DD/DS/TES.

 

[TeamGhobad]

this makes sense. rockstar always released a litmus test game on the hardware before gta.

 

[eot]

Kinda strange if they go an entire generation without a new GTA tbh (not that I care)

 

[DeceptiveAlarm]

Am I missing something? I don't see anything about a medieval game in that reddit post.

 

[kraspkibble]

not really.

by the time GTA III came out on PS2 they (not even called Rockstar back then) had already released 4 games on it so they had plenty of experience working with the hardware before a GTA came out.

GTA IV was their first game for PS3 so it was an entirely new experience for them working with the console.

GTA V was their first game for PS4 and that was just a remaster. It seems they have skipped this entire generation as far as GTA goes (not including Online since it's technically part of V). If anything working on GTA V/Online helped them with RDR2.

So who knows what the hell is happening with GTA VI. I don't expect to see it on this generation of consoles. Probably early/mid next gen.

Cool beans, their storytelling centred around the crazy politics of medival times should be sweet

exactly what i said.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Making a move to medieval games I think could be the cherry on the top, but right now I don't understand why Rockstar would it when you need all your assists focused on GTA, medieval may be a legit opportunity though.

 

[Hudo]

Well, would be interesting to see Rockstar beating Bethesda at their own game... which might be not too difficult...

 

[The Scrivener]

Grand Theft Horse?

Hang on, but won't this just be Red Dead Redemption 3? (Edit: Cuz of the horses, not the Wild West.)

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'm definitely onboard. RDR 2 levels of immersion? All in.

 

[GlassAwful]

Perfect fit for Rockstar. With a suit of armor slowing you down now it will make sense when it takes ten seconds to pick up a piece of cheese.
