Transcription:
we’ve got some interesting GTA 6 News to
talk about today like the recent
trademark registered behind the scenes
of the huge but fake leak and the
interview with Strauss zelnick and let’s
start with the last one you probably
know Connor Mather better known as the
GTA NPC guy if youve spent any time
scrolling through Tik Tok Instagram or
shorts you’ve seen him he’s the guy who
perfectly mimics real life GTA NPCs with
those hilarious glitchy movements and
awkward lines well recently Connor sat
down for an interview with none other
than Strauss zelnick the CEO of take to
interactive that’s Rockstar’s parent
company by the way now I know what
you’re thinking why does this matter
well among other topics they ended up
talking about GTA and more specifically
GTA 6 here’s the part that got
everyone’s attention Connor asked
zelnick a pretty straightforward
question if you could sum up cuz
obviously you can’t speak too much on
GTA 6 there’s only so much you can say
but if you could sum it up in a few
words or one word what would you say and
let me tell you zel Nick’s response hit
differently I would
say I think it’ll be extraordinary and
worth waiting for worth waiting for I
agree now I know what you’re thinking of
course he’s going to say that he’s the
CEO of a massive company that owns
Rockstar he’s supposed to Hype up the
game right and yeah you’re not wrong he
probably doesn’t have the inside scoop
like the actual developers working at
Rockstar but here’s the thing this is
Strauss zelnick the guy’s not known for
overhyping things or throwing around
empty words if he’s saying GTA 6 is
extraordinary and worth waiting for for
you can’t help but feel a bit of
reassurance you know like these are
strong words coming from the top of take
two and they align with what we’ve been
hearing for a while now that GTA 6 is
going to be a GameChanger at the end of
the day we’ve been waiting over a decade
for this game and when I hear someone
like zelnick who’s at the center of it
all confidently say it’s worth the wait
it gives me hope it’s like confirmation
that Rockstar isn’t cutting corners and
that they’re going all in to make this
game as good as we’ve all been imagining
we already know GTA 6 is going to be
huge the trailer smashed records the
hype is insane and Rockstar clearly
knows how high the expectations are so
hearing extraordinary from someone like
zelnick yeah I think this weight might
actually be worth it now here’s
something that I think a lot of people
either don’t know or don’t fully realize
about Rockstar and take 2’s history
unlike what some might think take to
interactive didn’t just buy Rockstar
Games when they were already this
massive Unstoppable Studio their
partnership actually goes back to the
late ’90s and back then things looked a
whole lot different to give you some
perspective let’s here it straight from
zelnick himself where he talks about how
it all started uh the team has been at
it for quite a while and when we started
I’m not sure we were in the top 10 or
even 20 um we’re pretty small company
and we had one franchise Grand Theft
Auto um and apart from that really no
other properties that mattered and um
the company was was in trouble in an
array of ways so we spent the first
couple years fixing things diversifying
the product line and creating a bunch of
other franchises that have now you know
built the company up so it stands for
Grand Theft Auto thankfully and also Red
Dead Redemption and other huge Brands
like Borderlands Bioshock civilization
NBA2K
wwe2k uh and the list goes on as well as
a bunch of big mobile properties so as
you just heard Take 2 has been working
with Rockstar since the late 9s a time
when neither company was anywhere near
where they are today back then Grand
Theft Auto was Rockstar only major
franchise and even then it wasn’t yet
the cultural phenomenon it would
eventually become take to itself wasn’t
the huge company it is now either
zelnick straight up said the company was
in trouble far from the top of the
gaming industry it’s crazy to think
about because we’re so used to seeing
Take 2 and RockStar at the absolute top
of the food chain but back then it was
all about surviving rebuilding and
growing and let’s talk about something
really important that zelnick said about
the GTA franchise this isn’t just about
GTA 6 it’s about why Rockstar takes
their time and why every game they
release ends up being a massive success
unlike um many of our competitors every
one of our releases inside a franchise
has done better than the prior release
this been true for like 20 years yeah um
and in most instances that isn’t the
case in the video game business in most
cases you’ll see a a steady decline
release after release but that isn’t the
case with us because we take take our
time and we really focus on on
presenting something to the audience
that they just haven’t seen before and
you know what he’s absolutely right
every single GTA game has been better
than the last in so many ways whether
it’s the story the game play the scale
of the world or the technical leaps
Rockstar makes every time this approach
has worked perfectly not just for
Rockstar as a company but also for us as
players and yeah I get it we’ve been
waiting over 10 years for GTA 6 and it’s
been a long time but when you think
about what zelnick said it makes sense
Rockstar isn’t rushing this they’re not
just trying to pump out another sequel
to cash in they’re focused on making
something better and let’s be real here
beating GTA 5 is no small task five
isn’t just a good game it’s one of the
best games ever made it sold hundreds of
millions of copies and made billions of
dollars the bar is set ridiculously high
for Rockstar to top that they need to go
all in take their time and deliver
something we’ve truly never seen before
that’s exactly what zelnick was talking
about they want every release to outdo
the last one and that’s not easy in a
series like GTA but Rockstar has done it
before time and time again so I think
it’s fair to trust the process
now there’s a lot more to this interview
zelnick touched on some really
interesting stuff not just about GTA but
the gaming industry as a whole but since
this video is mainly about GTA 6 I’m not
going to cover all of it here if you
want to watch the full interview I’ve
dropped the link in the description and
I also highly recommend checking out
cyber boy’s recent video where he breaks
down all the most interesting topics
especially the stuff that matters to us
as GTA fans you’ll find that link in the
description too all right so you’ve
probably seen the recent GTA 6 fake Le
footage made by a long long time it
looked so real that I was ready to break
it down analyze every single detail and
join the detective squad I mean I was
99% sure it was real but then about 30
minutes later he came out and admitted
it was a fake and honestly I was in
complete shock now here’s the
interesting part llt didn’t just make
the footage for attention he recently
shared some new inside info about the
whole thing as well as some
behindthescenes screenshots one user
said to him next time don’t make a clip
and immediately send it’s fake give the
internet time for some detective work
and long long ‘s response was pretty
thoughtful he said I understand why
people say that but the leak was mainly
for the mapping Community bubble I went
the Twitter out so it was more
believable when it was posted there when
duper got on for the first time in
months and was about to start mapping
the location I made up I decided I
didn’t want people wasting a bunch of
time mapping the buildings and spending
time documenting the CCTV stuff you know
for context dubor is a well-known member
of the GT mapping Community who’s been
piecing together the GTA 6 map based on
leaks and trailer footage llt realized
that letting people like dupor spend
hours analyzing something fake would
have been a massive waste of time and
now let’s get into the behind the-scenes
stuff he shared because it’s pretty
impressive first up we got a couple of
screenshots of an early version of the
footage it’s a much simpler build
compared to the final video with fewer
details and less going on it really
shows how much work he put in over time
to get that final polished look then he
shared a comparison shot of the real
life building he used as a reference to
create his 3D model and let me tell you
the guy has talent serious Talent his
skill isn’t just in modeling but in
texturing too for example he said he
made a lot of the textures himself
including a crevice texture similar to
what Rockstar uses all over GTA 5 and
rdr2 then there’s this manhole cover he
created fully procedurally in substance
designer he even posted close-ups of the
manhole texture and it’s insane it’s not
an actual 3D model it’s a parallax
texture that Ates depth while still
being completely flat for those who
don’t know that’s the same method
Rockstar uses to make flat surfaces look
more detailed and realistic he also
revealed that the entire video was just
an illusion he didn’t create a huge map
or an entire open world nope he built a
small area just a tiny portion of a map
specifically for the purpose of making
it look like part of a massive GTA 6
world and you know what I’m not even mad
at him for it after seeing everything he
shared it’s clear that llt isn’t just
some random troll he’s genuinely
passionate about what he does he even
said I want to be a material artist for
sure I love that [ __ ] and honestly
Rockstar if you’re listening it’s time
to hire this guy the skills he showed
with this fake leak his modeling his
texturing and his understanding of how
to create realistic environments are on
a level that could easily belong in a
rockstar project but there’s more cuz
another big news is that Rockstar has
officially registered the GTA 6
trademark in Brazil so what does this
mean let me break it down for you first
off the registered process number
includes some interesting details to
clarify Rockstar Games filed the
trademark request back in 2023 and it
was officially registered in 20124 the
validity of the trademark also began
this year as shown in the documents we
can see the exact request date and
validity start date in the images
provided one notable thing is that the
game logo is featured in black and white
this doesn’t necessarily mean anything
significant since it’s just a standard
logo format for registration purposes
there’s also another version of the logo
in a slightly different style but again
both are black and white without any
color another very interesting detail we
noticed in the documents is the
descriptions included in the
registration these descriptions outline
what the trademark covers which is
primarily to protect Rockstar’s rights
in Brazil it ensures that Rockstar can
use the GTA 6 trademark officially in
the country and defend it against any
potential infringements for example the
trademark includes categories like
clothing hats and Footwear basically it
gives Rockstar the ability to sell or
import merchandise into Brazil like
clothing hats and other items from their
store right now it’s not possible to buy
merchandise directly from Rockstar’s
website and ship it to Brazil but with
this registration that could change in
the future however this doesn’t mean
Rockstar will start importing these
products right away it just gives them
the option to do so but if someone tries
to sell fake products using the GTA 6
name or Rockstar branding Rockstar can
take legal action to have those items
removed from the market and this applies
to both physical stores and online shops
Beyond merchandise the trademark also
covers several other categories like
software digital downloads printed
materials manuals entertainment services
and more of course many people started
asking what does this trademark
registration mean for GTA 6 does it hint
at trailer 2 The answer is absolutely
not as I explained earlier this is
simply a routine trademark registration
it’s Rockstar securing their rights to
use the GTA 6 name in Brazil sell
official merchandise and protect the
brand from unauthorized use that’s all
Switching gears to some great news we
got recently GTA 6 has officially won
the game award for most anticipated game
now let me remind you this game isn’t
even out yet and we’re still about a
year or so away from its release but the
hype is so massive that Rockstar Games
is already stacking up awards for those
who don’t know the game awards is the
biggest event in gaming held every year
to celebrate the best games Studios and
creators While most categories focus on
games that came out in 2024 there’s one
award that looks ahead the most
anticipated game this year’s competition
for the award was no joke GTA 6 beat out
some huge upcoming titles all of which
have their own big fan bases and tons of
excitement around them the nominees
included death stranding 2 on the beach
ghost of yote Metroid Prime 4 Beyond and
Monster Hunter Wilds these are all games
that will no doubt be very popular but
let’s be real nothing even comes close
to GTA 6 right now the hype surrounding
this game is on an entirely different
level here’s the thing GTA 5 was already
considered one of the most anticipated
games of all time when it launched back
in 2013 but now GTA 6 has taken that
hype and cranked it up to a whole new
level you can feel it in the air among
Gamers the industry and even Rockstar’s
parent company take too interactive
who’ve said it themselves GTA 6’s
release is shaping up to be the biggest
launch of all time and this isn’t the
first time the game has won a major
award ahead of its release just a few
weeks ago it took home the Most Wanted
award at the golden joystick award
2024 and remember that award is voted on
Purely by fans so it says a lot about
just how excited the community is for
this game when Rockstar accepted the
award for most anticipated game at the
game awards a company representative
described GTA 6 as absolutely
mind-blowing I don’t know about you but
