Former Rockstar employees says GTA creator demands better reviews

May 13, 2008 in News comments 5

An interesting update to the 100 ranking thing: according to a piece in the Wall Street Journal, former employees at Rockstar claim one of the GTA creators Sam Houser "has his staff to 'go to war' with offending publications to demand a better review or score."

Mr. Houser denies using those words, but says he has often felt the sentiment they imply. "That's an area I've grown up in, definitely," he says.

    gta4 isn't really all that special. it's just fcuking grand theft auto.. we've ALL played it before. i get sick of it after, probably, 40 minutes, and just go back to my computer to play caesar.
    i wouldn't be surprised if they influenced these critics. the game's good, but perfect scores on HOW MANY websites? come on.

      Orly? I can say the same thing for every FPS or shooter in history. Its nothing special and its the same Shooter type feel.

      GTA4 is special because its a "different" style than the others.

    Say, uhm... haven't they checked their GTAIV score on Gamespot? Yet they're asking for better scores?

    Sorry, but we're already over 9000 as it is.

    I don't know how much I believe this. R* doesn't need to demand high scores for GTA. It gets these scores on its own because of the game that it is. It isn't popular because it sucks.
