with Grand Theft Auto 6 presumably coming out in the next couple years it's hard to Fathom
any other game trying to stand up to it I mean the sequel is following one of the best-selling
games of all time and it will likely break every single sales record known to man on launch day so
how could any other game company even try to get in the ring with Rockstar in GTA 6. well
the short answer is they can't but that doesn't mean there aren't some really awesome games in
the pipeline that will scratch the same itch as GTA and don't get it twisted at all every one of
these developers and Publishers is vying for your precious gaming hours now in fact there are two
today that I want to focus on in this video that you probably haven't heard of but by the time the
video drops you'll probably want to give them a try I mean especially while you wait for GTA 6 and
who knows you may end up getting hooked welcome everybody chaos here drop a like on the video If
you guys enjoy this gaming news content and let me know what you think about these two GTA Rivals
we're going to start off with a game that I want to give some attention it's called everywhere and
believe it or not Rockstar themselves are very aware of this game it's on the radar because
their parent company take two actually sent the developers a legal warning over potential
copyright infringement that's right they they saw what was happening here everywhere is an open
world game with seamless Co-op multiplayer that will feature multiple narratives for the player
to follow it makes the experience feel very unique to how you want to play it while also encouraging
multiple playthroughs it's kind of brilliant the game is being developed by a new studio called
build a rocket boy which is a really cool name it was actually formed by three former rock star
employees Leslie benzie's Matthew Smith and Colin and twistle that's right used to work at Rockstar
you see where this is going right the studio was originally called royal circus games but take
two actually threatened to sue them because they thought the acronym are CG would be confused with
Rockstar Games especially since the new company was made up of former Rockstar employee so there's
already a little bit of of drama here a bit Petty if you ask me but it gave the new studio a bit
of free marketing and they renamed themselves to build a rocket boy and continued working on their
debut game everywhere the team has described this game as a multi-world gaming experience that blurs
the line between gaming and reality which that sounds great to me according to the team the game
is going to offer a less restrictive experience than other open world games it's going to allow
more player choice and let you really get invested into your self-created story now there's no set
release date yet but the team is confident it will launch by the end of 2023 which is right around
the corner and the teasers you're seeing they look amazing the visuals of Unreal Engine 5 I mean it's
incredible the experience is basically going to be a more open-ended version of Rockstar's
open world formula I'm a hundred percent picking this up on day one and that one really has a shot
to be a rival because those three people that founded it they they know the DNA of Rockstar
they know the DNA of GTA and all their other games and they may know how to make it better
now the second potential GTA rival is coming pretty soon it's a game called rooted this is
a bit more on the survival side of things but it still scratches a lot of the same itches as recent
Rockstar Games now root is described as a solo and multiplayer game set in an ancient overgrown world
full of dangers we've seen this before right takes place near the 2100 Mark after biological warfare
wipes out most of civilization you have to venture around what remains of the world improve your
chances of survival build your habitat learn more about the world you're in it's very submersive
it's very immersive the game World evolves with your actions so you really have to be ready
for anything and prepared to adapt to the game because the game grows with you now it's more on
the survival side of things than the other one we talked about but you can see Rockstar's influence
on the gameplay and you can see it on the open world design kind of like a post-apocalyptic
version of Red Dead Redemption 2 which once again definitely Peaks my interest now despite Rockstar
Games being such a massive influence on open world genres it's hard to deny the most open world
games at least modern ones have been following in ubisoft's footsteps and not necessarily uh a good
thing to everybody now it's not a bad thing but there is a huge difference between Rockstar's open
world games and ubisofts Rockstar likes to tell a very tight very well written story that happens to
take place in an open world environment the player has some control over the pace in which they
complete the main objectives but for the most part the focus is on the story Ubisoft on the other
hand likes to take a more sandbox style approach where the focus is less on the main story and more
about the gameplay Loop you go from place to place you take out hordes of enemies you level up your
character you level up your gear story serves as justification for going from one place to another
you guys see the difference right this is the main reason why some people call rockstars open World
Games boring while other people call ubisoft's open world games grindy and yes I know these games
aren't exactly traditional Rockstar inspired open world games the the point I'm making here is they
are likely going to draw Rockstar fans to them more than Ubisoft fans and that's going to be a
cool change of pace from the usual grind Fest that most open world games are now ubisoft's open World
Games maximize player engagement and retention but Rockstar's game Focus they focus more on the story
and there's nothing wrong with either one but when I talk about GTA Rivals I'm talking about upcoming
games that pitch their tent in Rockstar's camp and are seemingly more focused on the world than
player retention and to me that's exciting Far Cry GTA May both be open world games but they don't
really compete with each other in the same way so what do these games mean for Rockstar's upcoming
GTA game and how The Gaming Community would react to it well I don't think either of these games
is a GTA killer I don't think there's a game that exists that's a GTA 6 killer I don't think they're
gonna hurt GTA sales at all especially since it seems like hardly anyone even knows they
exist right now but I certainly think people are going to be checking them out especially
during the waiting period for GTA 6 especially the first one everywhere I this could be big
it's a game made by former Rockstar employees who are deliberately trying to make something bigger
and more open-ended which is seemingly a direct response to a common criticism of recent Rockstar
Games which all three of these devs I'm sure have heard many times in the past now there's a lot of
Gamers who think the GTA like or games like GTA 5 and Red Dead 2 were too linear they didn't take
advantage of their massive open worlds enough so a game like everywhere is going to be right up their
alley if it is what they are saying it's going to be because it is literally going to be a group
of former rock star developers deliberately doing something that takes advantage of their open world
design without sacrificing the storytelling now I think a lot of Rockstar fans are going to flock
to this game I do when it drops later this year and play the heck out of it while they wait for
GTA 6. as for rooted I mean I can totally see fans of Red Dead 2 coming to the game for an experience
that scratches that same survival sandbox itch while tells an interesting story with a lot of
eye candy Andy I mean both of these games look absolutely gorgeous and they have a lot to offer
fans of rock stars style of open world games I mean I obviously don't think they're going to
overtake the GTA hype train nobody is but I could totally see the GTA Community taking a lot of
interest in both of them especially while Rockstar finishes up GTA 6. so let me know what you think
everywhere or rooted or both or neither what are your thoughts on them are you going to give them a
try do you think they could scratch the itch until we get GTA 6 you guys let me know in the comment
section hope you guys have a great day thank you for watching the video and I'll see you tomorrow
