The making of a masterpiece
GTAForums [Unofficial]

Hey folks,
First off, I know this is a forum about GTA VI, but please bare with me, I will get to that.
So, as I'm sure most of you already have played through TLOU pt.2, I stumbled over a 2 hour documentary of the making of that game, which included so much interesting things about the shaping of the game, the marketing, the misdirections and the overall development that goes into making a true masterpiece of a game.
I just wanted to share this, because I suspect a lot of people have never seen this doc, or let alone material about making a game of this magnitude before. And considering all of us are are awaiting the masterpiece that is GTA VI, and a lot of us have so much questions and ideas about what should or should not happen, and honestly little to no idea about what actually goes into making a game. Just watch it, it gave me so much interesting thoughts about VI, what has been shown thus far? what still awaits us? What is planned to be shown? And most importantly - how much insane cool stuff will they keep a secret until we actually get to experience the game ourselves?
Looking back at RDR2, and watching all those trailers and releases before the actual game, it's crazy how much better the game ended up being, how much they overshot every expectation. I seriously have no doubt in my mind that this game will blow RDR2 out the water, I just wish R* would release these types of documentaries about the making of RDR2 and now GTA VI, because there's so much talk going on right now, from people with absolutely no idea about anything they have strong opinions about.
Please watch it, and get back with your reflections (and I hope they let this post stay up! )
Also, I am banned on Reddit so if anyone wants to copy this entire thing and post it there too I am all for it!
