Reaction to Dan Houser's comments

from GTA6

Redditors in the GTA 6 Subreddit have been reacting to Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser's comments that he has had no involvement with the story or characters in GTA 6.

Angyyy2618 referenced Houser's comments and asked: "How do you think the story could be, better or worse than previous years?"

And others have been sharing their thoughts.

Pussilamous said: "Bro's throwing it out there in case it's trash 😭😭😭"

NikDante said: "I think it could be better. If he left the company, maybe he was growing weary of the series and his interests were going to other places. New writers might bring with them a new pair of eyes, fresh and keen to take the story to bold new places."

JoeyGrease said: "Don't forget there's still Rupert Humphries and Michael Unsworth at Rockstar, they worked and wrote with Dan for many years so I think it'll still feel familiar in some ways."

YaBoiCJ99 said: "I'm not gonna pretend that everything Dan Houser touched was gold. So I'm willing to see what the new writers got."

sirferrell said: "I loved RDR2 story so idk."

Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser briefly spoke about GTA 6 during an interview with IGN at LA Comic Con.

He revealed he's not been involved within the story or character development at all this time.

Houser said: "I wrote the last 10 or 11 of them so I think the world has probably had enough GTA from me.

"There's always a new story, it's not going to be a story I've written or character set I've developed. I think it's going to be exciting, the game will be great I'm sure."

Houser also hailed Red Dead Redemption 2 as "the best thing [he] worked on" while at Rockstar Games and the studio's biggest achievement to date.
