We don’t know exactly how much Rockstar Games is spending to make GTA 6, but it’s safe to say the upcoming open world might be the most expensive game of all time, considering the thousands of developers attached to it and how long it’s been in production. Although, one former lead on the series reckons future game budgets won’t come close because AI will probably make everything less costly to produce.
Obbe Vermeij, the former technical lead on multiple Grand Theft Autos, told Kiwi Talkz he thinks the “bulk of the work [on games] is probably going to be replaced” in the near future. He even reckons that a first pass for cutscenes can be pretty much AI-generated, since characters could apparently be “rendered by AI, including the conversation.”
Since Rockstar is automating all this work and presumably laying off talented humans in this (hopefully, please) hypothetical future, Vermeij says his “prediction is that GTA 7 will be cheaper to make than GTA 6,” but “we’ll have to wait 15 years to see if I’m right or not.”
