First time seeing your channel and ngl your enthusiasm for video games seems so pure and passionate. It’s nice to see such positivity in an industry that sometimes can get negative. ❤
The two things that stood out to me were the density of the crowds/cars/plantlife/animals AND the lack of copied character models. The humans were ALL distinct with a huge range of body types and animations. Cant wait
Also just checked out your channel holy smokes you make some fun content on GTA we should collab some day on something. Not sure what but just throwing it out there.
As a truck driver who goes to Florida especially in Miami, i literally recognized the streets in the trailer. Insane amount of detail Rockstar has put into this game! Cant wait to play it
As someone who lives in Miami . It’s insane detail. I’ve been to almost every place I saw in the trailer and I’ve seen nearly every scene in happen in real life .
I've always thought the animations in RDR2 were outstanding, and now I have the chance to thanks one of the persons that was involved in making them! Thanks a lot for your incredible work, and for your insight over this trailer analysis 👍🏼 Keep it up!
What separates Rockstar from any other developer is the amount of time and effort they put into the small things. To this day I'll still notice something new when I play GTA V or RDR2, especially RDR2.
They also understand they can't release a game with lots of glitches. For all the animation in ther games it's shows the effort they put in compared to other games with less animation but lots of glitches. Friday the 13th game for example 😂
Seeing your reaction to this video at first filled me with so much joy. You seem so passionate and I have no doubt you made great contributions to Rockstar's games over the years. Thank you.
I have the deepest respect for everyone working at rockstar. So much care and passion. One of the last big studios which actually cares about the art and it actually pays off. Thank you for the stripclub animations.
Just came across your channel for the first time. You were an animator on GTA 5? Well I just want to say thank you. That game made me feel all kinds of ways and I think a lot of that has to do with the animation and how flawless it seemed transitioning from in game to cut scenes, it was just perfect.
Ahhhhh love to hear this comment!!! Yeah actually a bunch of the scenes I animated were the character switches and it blending into the gameplay walks or runs ect seemlessly and I worked sooooo long on the blend sometimes to make sure it felt flawless for the player as they held the stick forward ect Best comment of the day bro!
@@YorkReacts character switching was one of the coolest things in GTA V for me. I remember just randomly switching characters just to observe the city from the above, it just felt great. And the SFX too (from the slow-mo effect while the selector UI is open to when the camera would pop-in-and-out), ohhhh, that made my nerd brain tickle! I'd really love to see you spill some tea over how this idea came into fruition and what challenges you and your team had while working on this.
Your perspective was so unique! I honestly appreciate it. Currently replaying GTAV because of my excitement, and the fact that you actually worked on it with hundreds of people is awesome. You guys are artists.
your excitement and enthusiasm is so contagious! It's a breath of fresh air to see someone just genuinely sharing a joyful experience on the internet, thanks for this, dude!
4:08 that's why i love in game cutscenes. its actually in the game and some times funny things can happen in the background while the scene is going. i remember being in a cutscene with Michael and frank and some random npc just drove into us. it was hilarious.
Love that you from the industry but still are so excited for these releases. Seeing your reaction is exactly how I felt. I’ve always loved R* and would love to of worked there but pursued my own path. They still excite me though as no one does it like them and this again reinforces that! Great video. Keep it up!
Thanks man yeah agree no one does it like them. Appreciate your comment and you stopping by. Hope to see you in the comment section on some future vids
@@samadnizamani2122 haha no lol these games are made with tons of talented artists from all walks of life who are dedicated to making the best game possible. 1000+ people all working together on a common goal. It’s how awesome art is made in games. Rockstar is just one of the few to do it
Your work, but also the pure love and admiration you clearly have for these games is so inspiring! It was an honor to hear about your perspective here.
I loved the animations in rdr2. They don't feel like animations like a typical game they feel part of the gameplay because they happen in real time and you can interrupt them by killing the animal or something. I remember playing rdr2, I think I just got my white arabian horse and I was going past an open field near strawberry and I seen a herd of deer. A split second later a cougar jumps out the long grass and takes one down. It was straight out of a david attenborough documentary.
What's insane to me is that I've noticed when you guys put out trailers for GTA 5 and RDR2, the game that got released actually ended up looking slightly better than the original reveal trailer. If Rockstar manages to pull this off again with GTA 6, it's going to be a masterpiece.
The animation and density are the things that really get me. The way the NPCs move and the hair and how many cars and npcs are packed into every scene is just amazing.
I think one of the less noticed but wow moments for me was the grass/vegetation density in both the flamingo scene AND the nudist watering his yard. Just take a minute and look how DETAILED the grass variety is. Holy moly. I’m 33 and have been playing these games since the top down ones… I hope everyone genuinely appreciates how special these type of entertainment moments in life are :) and Rockstar has consistently delivered bangers.
It’s rare to find genuine reaction videos and even rarer to get it from a former rockstar employee reacting it. Earned my follow just from your reaction I was smiling ear to ear and almost felt like a kid again, played gta 5 as a 16 year old and now as a 26 year old just has been surreal and honestly no trailer gets me emotional like rockstars does.
Hey man, its an honor watching this and enjoying this trailer with you. It's like I was watching you and your team winning the Super Bowl 10 years ago and now your retired and you're in the stands with us watching your team still carrying out greatness to win another championship.
You are genuinely part of our childhood memories! Thanks for that, much love for everyone that has worked at any masterpiece project at Rockstar! You guys put your soul into this and keep us entertained for years ❤
After that being one of my goals and achieving it. There is more to life then that but it’s an awesome goal to have. Let me know if I can help in any way. Did you just start animation ?
@@igromad ohh nice! Yeah motion capture clean up and in game cycles ect might be something you look into doing next. Excited for you bro animation is a journey and a great one to go on. You will learn so much about life and people and how we Move and interact with each other
@@igromad ayo if there’s anything i’ve learned in life it’s to utilize your network. this guy just offered to help you out, definitely try to stay in contact and pick his brain. good luck man 🙏🏾
This is truly out of all reviews, this guys opinion and talks on it truly mean the most. Someone who’s dedicated hours into rockstar games. Awesome to hear your side of it
Ohh man just wait it gets sooooo good and if you get mauled and eaten by a cougar don’t get mad that’s just my animation coming to get you hahaha 🤣 one of my favorite animations I did on that game.
@@shaun5761 I know man. I caught myself "catching flys" more than once and I'm only a handful of hours into it. My PC broke years ago... Never replaced it. Got a ps4 for cheap, making the most of it. Take care man.
Npc interactions w each other is what has me excited. They turned it up a few notches not just a notch lol. The “random encounters” are going to be pretty damn epic.
What a genuine positive dude! Subbed. Ty for your hard work on gta and also keeping this franchise alive and industry leading. I hope the future games have devs with the same attitude, old and new, pushing the bar.
Wow, this is one of the best videos I have ever watched. Hearing the perspective of someone who has worked on the games is so valuable and fills me with joy. Keep it up!
Love how passionate you are about GTA and your view as a fan, developer, and fan again! I love Rockstar, they have never failed us! Thanks for your contributions. I am stoked af for GTA VI.
The density of details and diversity in characters, cars, buildings, you name it is so rich! It feels very authentic. The added social media feels in the game should be fun too to relate to our actual lives. They are blending augmented reality with reality. You pointed out the stuff that is going to make this game a step above anything else.
@@Tiagocouto12 You ain’t no seen Asian and native Indians people in Miami before? I ain’t no talkin about gender fluid or gender helicopter or whatever the hell that is
Amazing, helps me understand how Rockstar works as a game studio more. Thank you for you work on GTA V and RDR2, not something I could do in a million years lol
Thanks for the reaction. I’m on my 3rd play through of RDR2 and never get tired of The animations. I don’t think animation artist get the raps they deserve. Thanks for your contribution to such an amazing work of art
You don't get bored of "go there kill people and leave...oh no they are chasing us" ? I struggled to make it through one playthrough Nothing unique in the gameplay and the most generic story and voice actors ever A shame cause rdr1 is one of my favorites
@@TMeek94 I go hunt,fish, camp out go try find some cool spots for screenshots. Got do some house robbery’s, try find the gang request, try find all the the other collectibles without guides. I pretty much can spend 3hours just fucken round in the world. Idk I’ll never get bored of this game. Rdr 1 was the first game that I can remember that’s made play attention to the story. I just love westerns. I get why people don’t like the game But every rockstar game is go here, shoot and go back. I get feeling that way but I like the voice actors and gameplay. I like slower games. Love the story of this one aswell. Once I get a pc I’ll prolly do a pc play through aswell but I’ll add some cosmetics mods or something to freshin it up.
@@TMeek94 bruh I get jealous just seeing clips with the people using the ponchos on John. He looks badass in the poncho. Plus I kinda wanna try RedM. I’ve placed Fivem and all I do is cruse in the Aussie cars. Some fun slow paced interaction. Oppressor mk2 gonna go crazy in rdr2 pc😂😂
I know you probably won’t see this, but I just wanna say I’m so inspired by your work man! I’ve been looking at all your projects and man… you’re a legend!
I feel so great to see devs doing such hardwork for games and making them amazing, I have seen that animation in gta 5 you made, now when I know who made it, I will remember it every single time I see that animation again
Dope reaction its so good to see a former Rockstar employee share their excitement for the game and explain every little detail that Rockstar have put into the game really excited for the games release in 2025
Great to hear the perspective of someone who’s worked under the hood on such an iconic series, also nice to see your enjoyment watching the trailing knowing what went into making it. Thank you for your work in GTA V!
When gta5 came out i went through a divorce, that game keept my sadness and depressions away. So thank you for working on that game and everybody else at Rockstar! You are a genuine human being, peace and love to you!😀🤜🤛 Oh and can't wait to show us your work on gta5!
Aweee man sorry to hear about your separation. I’m glad that our game kept you out of a dark place though. That’s what games are all about. Games are an escape I feel and a place to get away. Stoked to hear that in a weird round about way I helped you through some hard times in your life and we don’t even know each other. Bro fist 🤛
Dude, your animation of the gator snatching the boar is legendary. I've sat with my homies and talked about that specific animation alone. There's rumors of that animation being in GTA6 as well from the big leak last year so your work may have carried over into the new title.
This is such a cool and unique video. I wish more game developers were open to sharing what they worked on like you did. You did an amazing job working on gta5 and rd.
Genuinely one of the best reactions and reviews yet! Thank you so much for going through this trailer for us, your passion and insight is incredible to see!
You worked on my favourite game ever all time, thank you and your enthusiasm is this trailor has me even more excited because for you to be this excited as someone who has been there during this type of process lets me know this new game is about to be insane 😎
Seriously, you became one my favorite youtubers. You were working in Rockstar Games, the studio that I follow for 25 years already (since GTA1 & 2) I finally have the ability to see a Rockstar Games dev and he is so cool ! Thank for being an amazing guy and thank you for working on GTA V and RDR2 ! You are a talented hero !
It must be a totally different experience seeing this, knowing what goes into getting everything just right. I used to do a lot of different things that I see from a different perspective now. One example is custom leather. When I see a unique leather motorcycle seat or something one of a kind, I sort of have a flash in my mind of what it must have gone through. All the different machines and fluids and the stretching and hand stitching and all that. I imagine you must have felt the incredible effort of the long nights and endless tiny adjustments and bouncing ideas off fellow coworkers with bloodshot eyes. The infinite searches for proper documentation. The smell of that one coffee machine that everyone thought would burn the place down running 24/7. lol I don’t know, I guess I could see true appreciation in your eyes, beyond just being excited to watch a game trailer.
Yes yes and yes!!!! Dude you nailed it. When I watch game related content I immediately think about what it took to create it and all of the passionate artists behind it. Games like this take passion from all the devs because it’s such a long process and you just have to trust it will work out. Each time trying to make better characters or better animation along the way
For the longest of time I have wanted to act and play a character in any Rockstar game possible simply because the stories are just so well made along with great characters. But it all comes down to how good the animations are in order to make them feel like they are real people. Thank you bro for working on some of my favorite games of all time. GOAT
Picked up GTA V on release just 8 days after I turned 17. It was my first GTA to legally buy on my own, and I am STILL playing it (as well as Red Dead 2) and loving every moment. Thank you for your work that you put in man, because 10 years on and there’s people like me out here appreciating every second. This is a fantastic reaction, and I’m stoked for GTA 6! Lmk if you ever wanna come onto our podcast to talk about your work on the game - Joe
Awesome breakdown! It's dope to hear how much effort Rockstar puts into their games from a contributor. Just wanted to say that if you worked on GTA5, and RDR2 you're a genius in my book, they are masterpieces! I have so much respect and appreciation for you guys as artist. Y'all are creating the highest level of modern art. Looking at trailer for the 100th time, it's the "Thrillbilly" scene that has me in awe. The way the lady interacts with the camera is too real. Not just the graphics, but her motions, like every detail is spot on. She's so loose and carefree, its looks INCREDIBLE. I can't wait to play it
So crazy! Thank you for sharing your experiences back during your rockstar days. Really enjoyed the animations you created along with your ex collegues. The development and end product really, put in perspective how much a developer there actually loves the franchise. Wich is a thing that goes over by alot of people their heads. Love the channel too btw. You’re open, you’re charismatic. Cant wait to see your future reactions and videos 🎉
Thanks for the reaction, cool to see a former rockstar guy appreciating this gem. Although I feel so bad for the people working on 6 that wanted to celebrate the reveal together as a team. Shame on the leakers, for your impatience took that moment from the devs and animators and creators. I’m sure they would have loved to see our reactions as a team. Good jobs rockstar and thank you for everything you do for the gaming community
So glad to see a person that worked in Rockstar before, get so excited as a fan! Thank you for sharing the fun facts and for your positivity, hope to watch more videos from your channel! You have 1 more subscribe
1st & foremost, thank you for your work in previous titles, you did amazing!!! 2nd, I think people missing how insanely customized the vehicles that are showcased, are. Stickers on the windows, custom plates, the lowrider pinstripe & layering, wider variety in tire sizes & styles… I have a feeling they’re going to make Midnight Club customization look like child’s play
Most of the stuff is from V's Lowrider update. So not suprising, except the window and bumper stickers. But 6 will make it even better implemented i hope, when it's not just an DLC anymore and faded into everything.
The way of animation you did a decade ago still gives me goosebumps playing GTA V , how uniquely you craft every moments. Thank for giving us every moments you did in GTA V ... Hope we will see your gameplay of VI on this channel when it comes out Take love ❤
I love your enthusiasm and passion! I’m beyond stoked to get my hands on this. And I really do hope we can play as law enforcement too. I’m not really sure why else they would’ve showed the body cam footage. Unless it’s from L.E. POV while chasing the main characters during a robbery. I guess that’s 100% possible. But there’s so much to look forward to with this next game.
Your passion and positivity comes through so clearly and is genuine. This was the best trailer breakdown without a doubt and it was my first time seeing your channel. Seeing your excitement gives me a glimpse into what the programmers are feeling like at this moment in time before we see their work come alive. I have seen your breakdown multiple times since it came out so props to your for putting out great genuine content.
First time watched your interview On gta online o clock channel Absolutely loved it And learned new things Plus gta 5 before and after release Was a special thing to me I'm glad I was part of it
Thankful I ran into your channel. You got a new sub. Thank you for what you have done in the past and the future as a dev. Love the idea of giving us viewers, the dev's side of this. It makes those that don't really care about making a game, realize how much effort goes into making games which isn't highlighted enough and helps them appreciate what you all do for the gaming community.
Man I watched your video twice, truly admire the work you do and the energy you provide in this video. Amazing video dude and can’t wait to see more from you.
Ayeee! What's up Ned! man have I worked on a bunch of animations with your character hah awesome to see you stop by. TH-cam must be spying on us. I was just watching one of your interviews. 🤩
What masterful way to explain everything. The city is gonna be big, and we can tell by seeing the huge detail being focused into the smaller parts. That part really impressed me
I am super stoked about GTA VI and this really pushed it even further haha, love your passion and thanks for contributing to brilliance of GTA V! Always love seeing all the little details rockstar puts into everything!
I loved your unique reaction to the trailer! I'm getting into animation myself, and I know how much hard work and dedication it takes. Seeing your enthusiasm was truly inspiring. It would be amazing to see your playthroughs of RDR2 and GTA 5!
I just want to express my deep gratitude to you for how much work you put into GTA 5 and RDR 2. RDR 2 is my favorite game and now I see the person who worked a lot of time to make me love it. Huge respect to you and once again thank you.
dude OMG, Watching your rreview just made me 1000X more excited. It makes sense that its all IN GAME scenes. Thinking of GTA V and the cutscenes, they seamlessly bridged into the gameplay. Remember the opening scenes and game play at the bank? yup!
Npc's are simple but will seriously make a huge difference with the changes they made to them. They don't bob around holding a drink or cigar, they actually do specific unique activities. in 5, if you watch an npc forever they will do nothing, but in this it seems like they will actually go have a routine and a life. Definitely a step up.
Rdr2 NPC's are outstanding tho, so detailed, I've watched them, follow them, they are so realistic, it blows my mind, and RDR2 was released almost 7 years ago. Just imagine, and RDR2 is easily with no debate the most detailed game ever period, till Rockstar releases GTA6. Rockstar doesn't play around, they put their souls in their games and it really shows.
If you don't mind me asking, how did you get into animation? It must be amazing to work for Rockstar Games with all these talented and passionate people
I went to school for Art used to love drawing portraits but then took animation classes as a part of the degree I was in. I did a 2d animation that felt alive and I was hooked! I think there is an interview of me floating around the web somewhere of me talking about it. If I find it I will let you know. It was from animation mentor. Might still be on TH-cam not sure
@@YorkReactsI always wanted to go to school for it but the fear of debt really soured my hope. Is 20 still a good age to find a school for animation? Sorry if that's a dumb question.
In my opinion, Rockstar Games have this way of every game they release becomes a cultural phenomenon and becomes major headline news each time a Rockstar game releases, which a lot of people have mentioned before. Also, the level of detail are one of the main things Rockstar Games are experts at imo. Also the story, characters, realism etc., is out of this world. Basically imo, for the open world genre, Rockstar Games are the ones setting the standard. Obviously alot of great gaming conpanies and Rockstar Games are certainly up there.😊😮🎉big thanks for making gamers entertained for years with gta 5 and rdr 2. I also subscribed😊
Thank you for your amazing work on GTA V. Honestly, it's really good game, it still holds up to this date pretty well. I've spent some countless hours on GTA V, both on storymode and online, enjoying the game. Definitely one of my all time favourites.
Isn't it hilarious how almost everyone says "when I played gta as a kid" ? Lol I played gta 3 back in 2001. I was a man already. Now my kids have grown up playing them. The level of detail in this game is incredible
I was 21 myself when it dropped. The first gta top down I was 16/17 now I'm in my 40s and still loving theses game's. For me vice city was my favourite for the story. Gta3 had my heart being the fist open world fist person gta.
@chriscollins550 I was in my 20s when I played gta3. I never played the original top down ones. My cousin had them but I didn't like thr look of it. I never finished vice city I can't remember why. I stopped playing for a while and never went back to it.
É realmente impressionante o nível que a Rockstar conseguiu chegar. Agradeço por você ter ajudado no jogo que fez parte da minha infância! GTA V foi um legítimo marco na minha vida.
As an Ex-Employee of Rockstar, till what stage do you think is the game developed right now as the trailer released? Would be interesting to know if the game is already completely finished or if theres still some work to do by the time the trailer comes out. Cheers! Great Video!
The way i see it if they released a an ingame trailer announcement they already in the Beta stage rather than Alpha or pre-Alpha cause it looks complete already, all they can do now until 2025 is to polish and keep on improving the game

And with it: bad or non existing shadows. In 2023. Gg Console crap

Your work, but also the pure love and admiration you clearly have for these games is so inspiring! It was an honor to hear about your perspective here.
I loved the animations in rdr2. They don't feel like animations like a typical game they feel part of the gameplay because they happen in real time and you can interrupt them by killing the animal or something.
I remember playing rdr2, I think I just got my white arabian horse and I was going past an open field near strawberry and I seen a herd of deer. A split second later a cougar jumps out the long grass and takes one down. It was straight out of a david attenborough documentary.
What's insane to me is that I've noticed when you guys put out trailers for GTA 5 and RDR2, the game that got released actually ended up looking slightly better than the original reveal trailer. If Rockstar manages to pull this off again with GTA 6, it's going to be a masterpiece.
I think they will especially since they still have at least another year to perfect everything.
Yeah let's not sugarcoat this the first trailer of GTA 5 in comparison to second was a massive downgrade
@@DHell-n8ithe first trailer of RDR2 looks worse than the real game, cope n seeth
@@ExHyperion we're not talking about red dead redemption 🤦🏻
@@juubilo1509 You're absolutely right about Naughty Dog aswell. Uncharted 4 will always be a 10/10 masterpiece to me!
The animation and density are the things that really get me. The way the NPCs move and the hair and how many cars and npcs are packed into every scene is just amazing.
That and the scale of the world gonna be unprecedented
yeah , let's hope it's not only in the trailers
Ikrrrrrrrrrrr it’s so fckingg amazing!!!!!!!
@@curiousmind_yesssssssss
I think one of the less noticed but wow moments for me was the grass/vegetation density in both the flamingo scene AND the nudist watering his yard. Just take a minute and look how DETAILED the grass variety is. Holy moly. I’m 33 and have been playing these games since the top down ones… I hope everyone genuinely appreciates how special these type of entertainment moments in life are :) and Rockstar has consistently delivered bangers.
It’s rare to find genuine reaction videos and even rarer to get it from a former rockstar employee reacting it. Earned my follow just from your reaction I was smiling ear to ear and almost felt like a kid again, played gta 5 as a 16 year old and now as a 26 year old just has been surreal and honestly no trailer gets me emotional like rockstars does.
Hey man, its an honor watching this and enjoying this trailer with you. It's like I was watching you and your team winning the Super Bowl 10 years ago and now your retired and you're in the stands with us watching your team still carrying out greatness to win another championship.
You are genuinely part of our childhood memories! Thanks for that, much love for everyone that has worked at any masterpiece project at Rockstar! You guys put your soul into this and keep us entertained for years ❤

being an animator at rockstar is my ultimate life goal, thanks for sharing!

This is truly out of all reviews, this guys opinion and talks on it truly mean the most. Someone who’s dedicated hours into rockstar games. Awesome to hear your side of it
Can’t wait to watch your animations video! Always been a dream to work in the gaming industry but wouldn’t even know where to begin.
I'm just going through RDR2 for the first time currently. I'm blown away.
Ohh man just wait it gets sooooo good and if you get mauled and eaten by a cougar don’t get mad that’s just my animation coming to get you hahaha 🤣 one of my favorite animations I did on that game.
Oh man you are so lucky 😢 wish I could go back to 2018 to experience the first time I played rdr2

Npc interactions w each other is what has me excited. They turned it up a few notches not just a notch lol. The “random encounters” are going to be pretty damn epic.
What a genuine positive dude! Subbed. Ty for your hard work on gta and also keeping this franchise alive and industry leading. I hope the future games have devs with the same attitude, old and new, pushing the bar.
Wow, this is one of the best videos I have ever watched. Hearing the perspective of someone who has worked on the games is so valuable and fills me with joy. Keep it up!
Love how passionate you are about GTA and your view as a fan, developer, and fan again! I love Rockstar, they have never failed us! Thanks for your contributions. I am stoked af for GTA VI.
The density of details and diversity in characters, cars, buildings, you name it is so rich! It feels very authentic. The added social media feels in the game should be fun too to relate to our actual lives. They are blending augmented reality with reality.
You pointed out the stuff that is going to make this game a step above anything else.
In the motorcycle scene, the girl in slip-ons on the right lifts her foot without the shoe itself coming up. That's crazy detail.
I think we had that detail in GTAV but I’d have to go back and look.
No Asians, no Indians… not really diverse
@@Reachland02cmon who cares? That’s just a woke comment
@@Tiagocouto12 You ain’t no seen Asian and native Indians people in Miami before? I ain’t no talkin about gender fluid or gender helicopter or whatever the hell that is
Cool to hear about some of your work! I loved the crocodiles in Red Dead 2, such a detailed game
Amazing, helps me understand how Rockstar works as a game studio more. Thank you for you work on GTA V and RDR2, not something I could do in a million years lol
Wow this is by far the best explanation, thank you so much for this. Makes me appreciate the work that’s been put into this.
hope you blow up through this launch season, excellent video, unique perspective, quality commentary. Thanks York!
Thanks for the reaction. I’m on my 3rd play through of RDR2 and never get tired of The animations. I don’t think animation artist get the raps they deserve. Thanks for your contribution to such an amazing work of art
You don't get bored of "go there kill people and leave...oh no they are chasing us" ? I struggled to make it through one playthrough
Nothing unique in the gameplay and the most generic story and voice actors ever
A shame cause rdr1 is one of my favorites
@@TMeek94 I go hunt,fish, camp out go try find some cool spots for screenshots. Got do some house robbery’s, try find the gang request, try find all the the other collectibles without guides. I pretty much can spend 3hours just fucken round in the world. Idk I’ll never get bored of this game. Rdr 1 was the first game that I can remember that’s made play attention to the story. I just love westerns. I get why people don’t like the game But every rockstar game is go here, shoot and go back.
I get feeling that way but I like the voice actors and gameplay. I like slower games. Love the story of this one aswell. Once I get a pc I’ll prolly do a pc play through aswell but I’ll add some cosmetics mods or something to freshin it up.
@@spassadazza that's fair, there's a lot to do
And mods are insane, you'll play the game another 10 times at least if you get a PC lol
@@TMeek94 bruh I get jealous just seeing clips with the people using the ponchos on John. He looks badass in the poncho. Plus I kinda wanna try RedM. I’ve placed Fivem and all I do is cruse in the Aussie cars. Some fun slow paced interaction. Oppressor mk2 gonna go crazy in rdr2 pc😂😂
@MrSitallewal what's good about it? It's literally just "I need money" and then they copied breaking bad making the main character sick
I know you probably won’t see this, but I just wanna say I’m so inspired by your work man! I’ve been looking at all your projects and man… you’re a legend!
I almost did see it haha sooo many comment flooding in it’s bonkers lol 😂 thank you 🙏 really appreciate your comment. Get out there and get it!!
I feel so great to see devs doing such hardwork for games and making them amazing, I have seen that animation in gta 5 you made, now when I know who made it, I will remember it every single time I see that animation again
Dope reaction its so good to see a former Rockstar employee share their excitement for the game and explain every little detail that Rockstar have put into the game really excited for the games release in 2025
this guy, is a legend. his work on GTA V animation was crazy❤
Great to hear the perspective of someone who’s worked under the hood on such an iconic series, also nice to see your enjoyment watching the trailing knowing what went into making it. Thank you for your work in GTA V!
When gta5 came out i went through a divorce, that game keept my sadness and depressions away. So thank you for working on that game and everybody else at Rockstar!
You are a genuine human being, peace and love to you!😀🤜🤛
Oh and can't wait to show us your work on gta5!
How did you feel about Michael's marriage being on the rocks?
Aweee man sorry to hear about your separation. I’m glad that our game kept you out of a dark place though. That’s what games are all about. Games are an escape I feel and a place to get away.
Stoked to hear that in a weird round about way I helped you through some hard times in your life and we don’t even know each other.

Dude, your animation of the gator snatching the boar is legendary. I've sat with my homies and talked about that specific animation alone. There's rumors of that animation being in GTA6 as well from the big leak last year so your work may have carried over into the new title.
This is such a cool and unique video. I wish more game developers were open to sharing what they worked on like you did. You did an amazing job working on gta5 and rd.
You gave me way more hope on this game. I’m very excited I haven’t had this feeling for a game since I waited for GTA 5 at a GameStop
Hah nice yeha man me to super hyped!
I love the way characters really shift their weight subtly and realistically, like the Karen bit
Genuinely one of the best reactions and reviews yet! Thank you so much for going through this trailer for us, your passion and insight is incredible to see!
You worked on my favourite game ever all time, thank you and your enthusiasm is this trailor has me even more excited because for you to be this excited as someone who has been there during this type of process lets me know this new game is about to be insane 😎
Your energy is a breath if fresh air man. Genuine. Love it. Thanks for sharing your perspective dude.
Thanks for your work on GTA V and red dead 2 LETS GOOO GTA 6 !!!!!
Ayeeeee!! Hell yeah let’s gooooooo!!! Can’t wait 😜 it’s going to be bonkers
Wow this is such a great perspective! Thank you so much for sharing and thank you for working on the best games of the last years!
I love your energy man! Great video! I can see why you were a part of Rockstar, you’re so passionate.
Seriously, you became one my favorite youtubers. You were working in Rockstar Games, the studio that I follow for 25 years already (since GTA1 & 2)
I finally have the ability to see a Rockstar Games dev and he is so cool ! Thank for being an amazing guy and thank you for working on GTA V and RDR2 ! You are a talented hero !
This trailer is best trailer ive ever seen. Including almost every movie & show trailer.
Loved hearing your perspective as a former Rockstar animator 👍
Thank you for making this video. Your compassion and love for animating comes through ten fold. Loved your insight on the new GTA6 trailer.
It must be a totally different experience seeing this, knowing what goes into getting everything just right.
I used to do a lot of different things that I see from a different perspective now. One example is custom leather. When I see a unique leather motorcycle seat or something one of a kind, I sort of have a flash in my mind of what it must have gone through. All the different machines and fluids and the stretching and hand stitching and all that.
I imagine you must have felt the incredible effort of the long nights and endless tiny adjustments and bouncing ideas off fellow coworkers with bloodshot eyes. The infinite searches for proper documentation. The smell of that one coffee machine that everyone thought would burn the place down running 24/7. lol
I don’t know, I guess I could see true appreciation in your eyes, beyond just being excited to watch a game trailer.
Yes yes and yes!!!! Dude you nailed it. When I watch game related content I immediately think about what it took to create it and all of the passionate artists behind it. Games like this take passion from all the devs because it’s such a long process and you just have to trust it will work out. Each time trying to make better characters or better animation along the way
For the longest of time I have wanted to act and play a character in any Rockstar game possible simply because the stories are just so well made along with great characters. But it all comes down to how good the animations are in order to make them feel like they are real people. Thank you bro for working on some of my favorite games of all time. GOAT
Man, you have such a positive vibe, is actually contagious, I felt happier after finishing the video
Picked up GTA V on release just 8 days after I turned 17. It was my first GTA to legally buy on my own, and I am STILL playing it (as well as Red Dead 2) and loving every moment. Thank you for your work that you put in man, because 10 years on and there’s people like me out here appreciating every second. This is a fantastic reaction, and I’m stoked for GTA 6! Lmk if you ever wanna come onto our podcast to talk about your work on the game - Joe
Awesome breakdown! It's dope to hear how much effort Rockstar puts into their games from a contributor. Just wanted to say that if you worked on GTA5, and RDR2 you're a genius in my book, they are masterpieces! I have so much respect and appreciation for you guys as artist. Y'all are creating the highest level of modern art. Looking at trailer for the 100th time, it's the "Thrillbilly" scene that has me in awe. The way the lady interacts with the camera is too real. Not just the graphics, but her motions, like every detail is spot on. She's so loose and carefree, its looks INCREDIBLE. I can't wait to play it
so so cool! I love how passionate you are when you talk about the game :')
Can’t help it haha 😂 love this stuff
@@YorkReactscan i ask why did u leave rockstar? Im wondering that, since i would like to work there but i heared that they crunch a lot.
Just subscribed, nice to see an actual former gta animator's insight into this game, quite informative.
Love hearing your reaction man! Subscribed, see you in Vice City!
Hah hell yeah!!! See you on the streets!! Appreciate the sub bro 😎
So crazy! Thank you for sharing your experiences back during your rockstar days. Really enjoyed the animations you created along with your ex collegues. The development and end product really, put in perspective how much a developer there actually loves the franchise.
Wich is a thing that goes over by alot of people their heads.
Love the channel too btw. You’re open, you’re charismatic. Cant wait to see your future reactions and videos 🎉
Thanks for the reaction, cool to see a former rockstar guy appreciating this gem. Although I feel so bad for the people working on 6 that wanted to celebrate the reveal together as a team. Shame on the leakers, for your impatience took that moment from the devs and animators and creators. I’m sure they would have loved to see our reactions as a team. Good jobs rockstar and thank you for everything you do for the gaming community
So glad to see a person that worked in Rockstar before, get so excited as a fan! Thank you for sharing the fun facts and for your positivity, hope to watch more videos from your channel! You have 1 more subscribe
Btw, I’ll enter in some clubs in GTA 5 and hunt some crocodiles in RDR 2 only to see your animations now 😂
You contributed on the two games that changed gaming to a whole new level, RESPECT 10000+
1st & foremost, thank you for your work in previous titles, you did amazing!!! 2nd, I think people missing how insanely customized the vehicles that are showcased, are. Stickers on the windows, custom plates, the lowrider pinstripe & layering, wider variety in tire sizes & styles… I have a feeling they’re going to make Midnight Club customization look like child’s play
Most of the stuff is from V's Lowrider update. So not suprising, except the window and bumper stickers. But 6 will make it even better implemented i hope, when it's not just an DLC anymore and faded into everything.
The way of animation you did a decade ago still gives me goosebumps playing GTA V , how uniquely you craft every moments. Thank for giving us every moments you did in GTA V ...
Hope we will see your gameplay of VI on this channel when it comes out
Take love ❤
I love your enthusiasm and passion! I’m beyond stoked to get my hands on this. And I really do hope we can play as law enforcement too. I’m not really sure why else they would’ve showed the body cam footage. Unless it’s from L.E. POV while chasing the main characters during a robbery. I guess that’s 100% possible. But there’s so much to look forward to with this next game.
Your passion and positivity comes through so clearly and is genuine. This was the best trailer breakdown without a doubt and it was my first time seeing your channel. Seeing your excitement gives me a glimpse into what the programmers are feeling like at this moment in time before we see their work come alive. I have seen your breakdown multiple times since it came out so props to your for putting out great genuine content.
First time watched your interview
On gta online o clock channel
Absolutely loved it
And learned new things
Plus gta 5 before and after release
Was a special thing to me
I'm glad I was part of it
Thankful I ran into your channel. You got a new sub. Thank you for what you have done in the past and the future as a dev. Love the idea of giving us viewers, the dev's side of this. It makes those that don't really care about making a game, realize how much effort goes into making games which isn't highlighted enough and helps them appreciate what you all do for the gaming community.
Man I watched your video twice, truly admire the work you do and the energy you provide in this video.
Amazing video dude and can’t wait to see more from you.
Whether you brought something different to the video or not, your passion shined through, and thats what counts 👊
This trailer along with this song, gave me goosebumps when I first seen it. Just epic no other word for it
Really enjoyed watching this video, thanks for sharing your view and telling about your previous work on gta V!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ayeee! What's up Ned! man have I worked on a bunch of animations with your character hah awesome to see you stop by. TH-cam must be spying on us. I was just watching one of your interviews. 🤩
I love how the clothes now actually interact with the characters. I hope it will actually behave like this once it comes out
Imagine social media reacts to you doing crimes in game and you end up on the app they’re showing 👀
Oooo great idea
What masterful way to explain everything. The city is gonna be big, and we can tell by seeing the huge detail being focused into the smaller parts. That part really impressed me
I am super stoked about GTA VI and this really pushed it even further haha, love your passion and thanks for contributing to brilliance of GTA V! Always love seeing all the little details rockstar puts into everything!
I loved your unique reaction to the trailer! I'm getting into animation myself, and I know how much hard work and dedication it takes. Seeing your enthusiasm was truly inspiring. It would be amazing to see your playthroughs of RDR2 and GTA 5!
I just want to express my deep gratitude to you for how much work you put into GTA 5 and RDR 2. RDR 2 is my favorite game and now I see the person who worked a lot of time to make me love it. Huge respect to you and once again thank you.
Would love to hear more about your experience getting into the industry and what you’re doing now
dude OMG, Watching your rreview just made me 1000X more excited. It makes sense that its all IN GAME scenes. Thinking of GTA V and the cutscenes, they seamlessly bridged into the gameplay. Remember the opening scenes and game play at the bank? yup!
Npc's are simple but will seriously make a huge difference with the changes they made to them.
They don't bob around holding a drink or cigar, they actually do specific unique activities.
in 5, if you watch an npc forever they will do nothing, but in this it seems like they will actually go have a routine and a life.
Definitely a step up.
Rdr2 NPC's are outstanding tho, so detailed, I've watched them, follow them, they are so realistic, it blows my mind, and RDR2 was released almost 7 years ago. Just imagine, and RDR2 is easily with no debate the most detailed game ever period, till Rockstar releases GTA6. Rockstar doesn't play around, they put their souls in their games and it really shows.
If you don't mind me asking, how did you get into animation?
It must be amazing to work for Rockstar Games with all these talented and passionate people
Simply go to an animation school. It might be expensive but this is the way. You can also try online courses. I'm an animator on vfx movies.
I went to school for Art used to love drawing portraits but then took animation classes as a part of the degree I was in. I did a 2d animation that felt alive and I was hooked! I think there is an interview of me floating around the web somewhere of me talking about it. If I find it I will let you know.
It was from animation mentor. Might still be on TH-cam not sure
@@galayat-reacts3643 wassup fellow animator!! One of us One of us!! Hahah
@@YorkReacts I literally worked for the studio called "one of us" :V
@@YorkReactsI always wanted to go to school for it but the fear of debt really soured my hope. Is 20 still a good age to find a school for animation? Sorry if that's a dumb question.
In my opinion, Rockstar Games have this way of every game they release becomes a cultural phenomenon and becomes major headline news each time a Rockstar game releases, which a lot of people have mentioned before. Also, the level of detail are one of the main things Rockstar Games are experts at imo. Also the story, characters, realism etc., is out of this world. Basically imo, for the open world genre, Rockstar Games are the ones setting the standard. Obviously alot of great gaming conpanies and Rockstar Games are certainly up there.😊😮🎉big thanks for making gamers entertained for years with gta 5 and rdr 2. I also subscribed😊
Thank you for your amazing work on GTA V. Honestly, it's really good game, it still holds up to this date pretty well. I've spent some countless hours on GTA V, both on storymode and online, enjoying the game. Definitely one of my all time favourites.
The Architect of all our childhood GTA memories !! I just Subscribed man you’re a LEGEND in my book
Isn't it hilarious how almost everyone says "when I played gta as a kid" ? Lol I played gta 3 back in 2001. I was a man already. Now my kids have grown up playing them. The level of detail in this game is incredible
I was 21 myself when it dropped. The first gta top down I was 16/17 now I'm in my 40s and still loving theses game's. For me vice city was my favourite for the story. Gta3 had my heart being the fist open world fist person gta.
@chriscollins550 I was in my 20s when I played gta3. I never played the original top down ones. My cousin had them but I didn't like thr look of it. I never finished vice city I can't remember why. I stopped playing for a while and never went back to it.
É realmente impressionante o nível que a Rockstar conseguiu chegar. Agradeço por você ter ajudado no jogo que fez parte da minha infância! GTA V foi um legítimo marco na minha vida.
As an Ex-Employee of Rockstar, till what stage do you think is the game developed right now as the trailer released? Would be interesting to know if the game is already completely finished or if theres still some work to do by the time the trailer comes out. Cheers! Great Video!
The game ain't finished yet for sure. A lot can change till release
The way i see it if they released a an ingame trailer announcement they already in the Beta stage rather than Alpha or pre-Alpha cause it looks complete already, all they can do now until 2025 is to polish and keep on improving the game
