Former Rockstar technical director Obbe Vermeij recently took to Twitter to revealseveral Grand Theft Auto hidden details.
This bug “is probably the worst bug we missed,” he says. But he’s also gladto admitthat “erm… quite a few” other bugs corrected by the Silent Patch may have been his fault.
Can really anyone patch a game, the way modder Silent has with the Silent Patch? Yes, “patching is allowed,“Vermeij explains. “There is nothing a publisher can do about it.”
And why are so many GTA model names so crass and unseemly? Like the #cuntgun rifleweapon IDand #slamvanvehicle variation? “Anything that isn’t visible to players tends to have swearing in it,” Vermeij says. “Just something devs do to keep sane.” I can’t believe we got the #cuntgun before GTA 6.
Desperate GTA 6 fans give up on predicting the elusive action-adventure game’s second trailer release date through normal means, instead resort to astrology.
