Expectations are like a double-edged sword for developers. On one hand, they can give studios like Rockstar Games the hit of dopamine it needs to hone GTA 6’s depth and polish.
On the other hand, studios like Ubisoft use this to market mediocre games like Skull and Bones and call it a “AAAA” title. Given the resources and hype that’s being put into developing GTA 6, maybe it will be an actual game-changer for real?
Fans Want GTA 6 to Be Perfect and So Does Rockstar Games
If you’re looking forward to deep-diving into the minds of those who are eagerly waiting for the arrival of GTA 6, there’s no place better than the game’s subreddit to find some of the funniest and most fascinating stories.
Turns out that even six months after the game’s first trailer came out, fans are not letting the hype for the game die down. The next entry into the Grand Theft Auto franchise needs to be excellent, according to fans.
Users like Bogdi504 are pretty clear about these expectations, and Ubisoft’s meme-worthy creation, “AAAA” is a label that people have started to use abruptly.
Those who are involved in the development and marketing of GTA 6 aim for nothing short of perfection, and this has already given fans a lot of ideas for what to expect.
While some fans are hyping the game up by dropping “AAAA” into a conversation faster than Ubisoft launches a game, others are being a bit more realistic about their expectations.
What Makes a Game AAAA?
Art is subjective, and video games are no exception. However, at the time of writing, there are multiple games like Red Red Redemption 2 and GTA 5 that have proven Rockstar’s potential for creating video games that surpass everyone’s expectations.
These are titles that have not only sold well but also symbolized the example of an excellent game. But, what do we even mean by the idea of a perfect game, and how does “AAAA” fit into the picture?
One school of thought would be to mix every nuance of developing a video game and think of how it’s best executed. From voice acting, motion capture, and script, to visuals, density, and realism a video game can take each aspect of game development and showcase it in the best way possible.
GTA 6 is seemingly trying to pull this off, and this might be one of the games that can prove it. This comes from the fact that Rockstar happens to have these resources available and build on everything the studio has done well in the past.
Do you think GTA 6 will live up to the hype fans are creating? Is “AAAA” something that’s truly achievable? Let us know your opinions in the comments below.
