Between now and 2025 can EA Games or Activision make something in the “Grand Theft Auto clone” genre? Perhaps revamping Godfather or True Crime

Are you legit asking if they can develop that in two years?

I don’t even wanna think of what bullshyt EA and Ubisoft would put out to compete with GTA, if given real dev time. The first word that comes to mind is monetization.

There’s a reason R* is the only group to consistently put all the effort and resources into this

Prob would have toll highways in the game that you actually have to pay :mjlol:

Not enough money in circulation to handle a Ubisoft vs TakeTwo in a monetization Versus :lolbron:


7 different SKUs for the same game vs full blown storefront in the pause menu on launch day :whew:

So we got no open-world games on the way?

I actually would look forward to even a poorly done rendition from EA with car ads and Amazon and Gatorade ads

i don't think this is a disruptive business opportunity, anything put out to be compared would only be looked at harsher and probably lessen the value of the company that makes it. Big risk

Ubi GTA would be the most sterile, corporate crime-action game of all time :francis:

to truly appreciate great pizza one must’ve experienced the whole spectrum of pizza quality


a competitor is s good thing. Didn’t Microsoft just partner with Activision and aren’t there rumors of a Sony/GTA 6 partnership?

if EA had me heading the department to oversee development of this game I would start like this

hyper-realistic graphics


placement revenue from automanufacturers who want to be featured and to have ad - this will mean something stupid like cars can’t be depicted as damaged or in a negative light. oh well :manny: we probably already have these companies on the line for Need for Speed, we will need some of that team and sone of the Godfather team

we‘re going to sell real world advertisements in game and in the online experience

^ bam that’s revenue


next … setting is a small highly detailed town that is well-populated but surrounded by vast openness (think something like Barstow or Baker, CA. we compete with Rockstar by infringing on their market share, offering more bang for buck in online experience and delivering in an annualized cycle.

borrow physics players are familiar with via Madden




somebody get EA on the line, I’ll highly motivated to get this done so I will give you 20%

the idea is to take revenue on annualized basis while Rockstar tends to it’s 10 year product cycle

Isn't that basically watch_dogs?

That’s probably the closest modern GTA-clone outside of Saints Row. Both of them mfs are probably dead
