While Rockstar continues to keep quiet about GTA 6, the notoriously talkative Vice City and San Andreas developer believes "secrecy is a good thing" as too much knowledge "ruins the experience."

Since the first and only trailer over a year ago, Rockstar has refused to show us any more of the mystery that lies within GTA 6. While everyone has been begging for a new look, one particularly vocal former Rockstar developer says the lack of information overall is “really working.”

Obbe Vermeij served as technical director of Rockstar Games between 1995 and 2009 and was involved in GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas and GTA 4. Although he has been away from the studio for some time, he is very open when it comes to donating information about his time there and his work on those classic episodes – as well as others Rockstar developers had previously asked him to close his entire blog after details of canceled games were announced. With that in mind, when asked on Twitter what he thought about the studio’s continued secrecy, he offered some interesting (but rather ironic) thoughts on the subject.

“For upcoming games, I think secrecy is a good thing. Knowing too much about a game long before it comes out ruins the experience.” Vermeij argues. “A good example is the new Indiana Jones game. They held back and didn’t do much marketing. When the game comes out, it’s surprising and fresh.”

“This really works for R* with GTA 6,” he continues. “Since there is not a lot of information, the anticipation builds and when the game comes out it will be really exciting.”

Although Vermeij is in favor of the studio staying quiet about upcoming releases, he thinks it could be “a little more relaxed when it comes to the older games,” adding, “It would be nice to hear a little more from them.” .” People who are still at R* and have been working on it. Given his own attitude toward sharing old-time details, it’s certainly not surprising that he would say this.

Overall, however, this is a similar stance to that recently taken by former Rockstar developer Mike York, who worked as an animator on GTA 5. He recently spoke about how on his YouTube channel Rockstar’s secrecy is “a really cool tactic in some ways” because it creates a sense of “mystery” and encourages fans to discuss things among themselves without the studio having to do anything at all. This also leads to the “really cool theories” fans are making about existing mysteries in the game, as well as conspiracies about when the next GTA 6 trailer will be released, he argues.

Publishers are reportedly waiting to see if GTA 6 actually comes out in 2025 before setting their own release dates so they can stay away from Rockstar.
