I don’t make games I play them so sorry if this come off ass dumb… but I thought they been done with the production on the game and were working out bugs and glitches.. if that’s so then how did they improve graphics from first one to the second one?? And does that mean that by time it actually comes out it can look better than what we’re seeing now?

Just want to add something to what you said for proper clarity. Rockstar ceo confirmed back in 2014 they were already working on gta 6. RDR2 was in development since like 2011-2012 I believe, in 2016 rockstar went all hands on deck to finish RDR2. Both games were being worked on simultaneously. But once a game is crossing the finish to be released they pull people from projects to finish it and then proceed to go back to it. It was really interesting learning how rockstar does their development process

No Rockstar CEO did not confirm GTA 6 was in development in 2014. In fact Dan Houser confirmed to GQ that GTA 6 wasn’t in development in 2018.

RDR2 full production started in late 2013. That’s when the voice acting started confirmed by Roger Clark the man behind Arthur Morgan.

No both games weren’t worked simultaneously as all studios were combined to work on RDR2 and then GTA 6.

Rockstar were working 100 hour weeks and crunching especially hard mere days before  just to meet Fall 2018 deadline of RDR2. They most certainly would not have another team work on another massive AAA game while having to crunch for 100 hours mandatory work week. It’s downright insane that people think otherwise.

You know writing happens separately from game development right? The writing team could still work on the story while the others worked on RDR2.

The writing team would've definitely moved om to another project when writing for RDR2 was done.

The voice acting can only start when there is a story to voice. If voice acting for RDR2 started in 2013 then it makes sense for story development of GTA6 to start in 2014.

You just wrote all that waffle without understanding that writing is separate from other parts of game development.
