Leslie Benzies, a key figure behind Grand Theft Auto V, expressed confidence in Rockstar Games' creative capabilities while addressing his contentious exit from the company. Following a significant lawsuit claiming $150 million in owed royalties, Benzies has founded a new studio, Build A Rocket Boy, which is set to release a new game, MindsEye. While acknowledging inevitable comparisons to GTA, he emphasized the importance of establishing a unique identity. Meanwhile, anticipation builds for the upcoming GTA VI, expected to launch later this year, though no exact date has been confirmed.
[There's a] great amount of geniuses there always creating something new, unique and of a scale that very few others can actually pull off.
There's always comparisons. The first question that gets asked is always about the old game, but I think that's human nature.
You know, it's what happened to Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters, [people] were more interested in Nirvana. It'll take a bit of time for us to find our own identity.
Take-Two, meanwhile, said Benzies' claims were "entirely without merit" and that he left the company after "significant performance and conduct issues."
