Original Grand Theft Auto creators have not played GTA 6
Co-creator Dave Jones and writer Brian Baglow are waiting to see the upcoming title alongside the rest of the public.
Original Grand Theft Auto co-creator Dave Jones and original writer Brian Baglow have not been given early access to play Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6), according to a report by Mint.
In an interview with the BBC, Jones stated that the original creators are waiting to see what Rockstar Games has developed for the upcoming title.
When asked if he had played the game before its official release, Baglow shook his head but noted that he has already pre-ordered it.
The first Grand Theft Auto was launched in 1997 by the Dundee-based studio DMA Design, which sought to create an original concept that stood apart from conventional games.
Jones said the team at DMA wanted to do something different and eventually decided to focus on players acting as criminals rather than police officers.
The original game's commercial success was described by Jones as a "slow burn" that grew through word of mouth after its initial release.
