Rockstar Games Promotional Art Design Team Member here.
Joined the team just about when the Ballad Of Gay Tony was underway in development and helped to conceptualise and create some of the promotional artwork you see around game stores and online advertisements.
The two will release around the same time, PC coming first with an announcement for undead nightmare coming at the same time and releasing around a month later.
We actually have been hard at work designing advertising for undead nightmare and as such have been given some minimal story details and plot to help us base the artwork around.
Matthew Hall
What happened to the remastered Liberty City map? What GTA Online updates are planned?
Nathan Gray
Where is next GTA set
Juan Robinson
what was the planned SP DLC for gta 5 and how much of it was recycled for gta online? were there ever plans for rdr2 SP DLC?
Sebastian Reyes
Thank you for the Ballad of Gay Tony. I love it
Aaron Moore
You'll see liberty city return in a future title, Won't be for a long while but you can guarantee you'll see it soon.
There's around 4 more GTA V Online content packs that will come soon, I have information on one as the other three haven't even left the idea box yet, The next DLC is going to be pretty heavily drug based with a new hiest based upon raiding a drug growing operation to steal and sell their product.
Juan Wright
When is the release?
Eli Ramirez
how many niggers does it take to change a lightbulb?
Wyatt Hall
Thanks for the kind words, I absolutely loved working on TBOGT, even if it was a bit rough getting into the swing of working in the RS Offices.
Eli Edwards
hold on he needs to make shit up but seem real
John Jones
Will the next GTA have terrible car handling that makes every car feel the same, glued to the ground with no suspension or feeling of power too?
Grayson Allen
No Definite dates yet, most likely Q4 for PC Release if all goes well with undead nightmare being right at the end of Q4 or Q1 2020
Jayden Diaz
Ask a clansman.
Ask a developer.
Joshua Gray
>make shit up but seem real
How about learning to correctly form a sentence, prick.
Its the only place I can talk about things without being associated with a username or handle, so yes it's alot better than something like reddit or twitter.
Juan Sanders
>ha mom look i said the faggot word
you're so unoriginal, you're just an NPC spouting the same insult over and over again like a broken record to anyone who doesn't like you
Joshua Anderson
What's the next game? Bully 2/gta6? And which city is gta6 in?
Nathaniel Long
And the most important question of them all: how can we check that you're legit? any form of proving? you don't need to show your ID but hey a little proof would be appreciated
Ethan Turner
Why is the dialogue/voice acting so fucking annoying and flat in the GTA games? I can't stand the awful retard attempts at irony and it seems like GTA will always be stuck in the early 2000s. You can tell the people writing the games are all old fucks and probably still think Family Guy is funny.
Jayden Sanchez
He is bullshitting. It's one of those "I don't care if you don't believe me, take it as you will LMAO" cases.
Connor Adams
>you're just an NPC >you're so unoriginal, spouting the same insult over and over again like a broken record to anyone who doesn't like you damn, a wojak npc edit and your post would've been perfect
Gavin Butler
I can show evidence of the full photoshop files of most major RSG Advertisements which includes all layers that im able to manipulate which isn't available to the public.
Jonathan Howard
do it then faggot
Ayden Torres
why are you so angry?
Jeremiah Miller
yeah that's what I was trying to prove... oh well it's not like this site is an open sewer or anything...
Tell me about some of the worst behind the scenes stuff at Rockstar you've seen. Preferably "Rockstar fired the combat designer who tried to fix RDR2"-tier.
Christian Davis
we'll go ahead then it's something...
Liam Phillips
Why were you such lazy fucks and just copied the promotional material of Red Dead 1 without improving on anything?
Eli Fisher
There are many to tell, What game / project do you want to hear from?
I have some from GTA IV / GTA V / RDR 2
What interests you the most?
Lincoln Wood
Rockstar fired the combat designer who tried to "fix" RDR2. As a result, combat in RDR2 is amazing.
Dominic Roberts
im not, not sure about the other guy though
Chase Morris
RDR 2, Preferably. GTA V secondly.
Henry Perry
What's the process behind drawing promotional art like this? Do you work off of 3D models?
I bought gold skins for my weapons and some disappeared, making me rebuy it. Whats the deal?
John Lewis
oh sorry, my mistake. I made an assumption you were the same person.
Andrew Jones
hey we're looking for proof not some twisted love story between you another user in this thread
Asher Gray
Do you know anything about Max Payne 3's development? I heard it was a complete horror show with the Housers rebooting the project over and over and over again and the devs in Rockstar Vienna and such were forced to crunch constantly.
Jason Smith
Is the dead female npcs with zombie eyes a glitch or easter egg?
Asher Sanders
Tell us about GTA V's story DLC that was supposedly canned/turned into GTA Online DLC after that business with Benzies and his circle of friends being fired.
Kayden Wood
3D Models with shading and alot of post processing, Many filters and hand drawn additions to help accentuate shadows (Notice around the bandannas, them shadows are usually drawn on and added) along with some extra shadow work done in other places.
Christopher Watson
>As a result, combat in RDR2 is amazing. Good joke.
Jackson Watson
I could write an entire blog post detailing what went wrong with max payne 3
Jordan Rodriguez
When are they going to bring the first Read Dead to PC reeeee
Adam Flores
Nice larping faggot
Cameron Gonzalez
Make enough noise and it will happen.
Lucas Morales
The only thing that RDR2 combat needs as an improvement is to give keyboard and mouse aiming and disable auto-aim. It literally will fix everything. This is coming with the PC version.
Adrian Nelson
Dutch shut the fuck up please
Juan Ortiz
>The only thing that RDR2 combat needs as an improvement is to give keyboard and mouse aiming and disable auto-aim. It literally will fix everything. There's some truth to this. Rockstar have a long history of games that control like shit on gamepads but feel pretty decent on M+KB.
Carter Harris
Why is modern Rockstar so shitty?
Jackson Rodriguez
Np, m8. Wish it was longer tho
Grayson Green
I like how the info this guy is giving is all shit any fan could easily come up with based on "leaks" that happened in the past couple months. Tell me something that hasn't been said on Twitter by the community sites already.
James Jones
Will Rockstar continue to be in this development cycle where they're only releasing ONE game every 5 years?
Benjamin Parker
What's your favorite rockstar game? Mine is red dead redemption 2.
Tell Dan houser to host a cast reunion panel and have them talk about the 5 years they spent together and answer questions. Do it for the 1 year anniversary.
fuck that's what him talking about! Cut the crap OP or kys
Blake Allen
He'll say no, because take two came out and said they'll speed things up after rdr2.
Sebastian Thomas
Why are you such a pathetic lying faggot?
Eli Morales
RDR2 Almost got delayed due to a conflict of interest in the idea box, you wouldn't of noticed this delay because this was before the game was even announced to exist officially.
For informations sake, the Idea box is the office name for the writers room in our office in edinburgh
Originally during the process of working out how to correctly write a prequel to the RDR2, There were two ideas floating around about what direction to take the story in, with the first being about a split story between a newly hired pinkerton and john marston with the story being that the new pinkerton was originally supposed to be on the case to hunt down and find the outlaw gang including john and you'd play from both perspectives with pinkerton missions usually being you investigating and finding clues and hunting down associates to the gang after they did something big in the game world like completing the blackwater hiest (hence why it's a part of the games story but not actually done)
Eventually it'd conclude with the two sides meeting eventually and fighting with most of johns gang being arrested and captured or killed with john barely making it out and the pinkerton character you played as being killed in the battle against the two sides.
This whole idea was thrown out for the story you got in RDR2 with Micah being the main bad guy etc, that's probably one of the biggest moments from behind the scenes you may not of heard of.
Ryan Cruz
Nice fanfic but this story wouldnt have had any progress made and therefore a promotional team guy wouldn't even have known anything about it.
Caleb Mitchell
You do know it's an office enviroment right? we talk to eachother and discuss things?
It's like a real job, I don't know if you've had one before.
Ryan White
Why do they design their games like movies with cinematic cutscenes and animations rather than games?
Thomas Reed
It's all about presentation, games are held to a high standard these days.
Hudson Gomez
I’m going to send this thread to polygon and kotaku, just as bad as THQ talking to infinitychan. Your not meant to be friends with fascists Mr. game dev
Colton Wright
scared
Connor Fisher
Yeah I know that and I also know that dan houser, Rupert humphries and Michael unsworth aren't discussing preliminary story scenarios and ideas with marketing guys.
Austin Sanders
Why don't you answer my question, faggot? What's the next game you're working on?
Carter Reed
What's the next game
Asher Miller
No but seriously. You had 8 years and a full office of people and the best you could come up for the marketing was copy what we did for Red Dead Redemption? How lazy is your team?
Robert Garcia
Isn't it obvious?
Levi Ramirez
So Bully 2 is not happening? Why won't Rockstar switch things up? Will they only release Red Dead and GTA games? Can't they come up with something new or revive older franchises?
Anything made by Rockstar would sell. Not as well as GTA, but it would. Anyways, will Undead Nightmare have both Single-Player and Multi-Player content?
