I have the trim UI brick and have a variety of different consoles I use for the emulation. Game boy advance is the primary one that I use. I do know that apparently you're able to do it with a Nintendo DS, but I'm curious as to how that actually works since most of those games require a touch screen or being able to see two screens. Does anyone have advice or recommend doing NDS emulation or is it not worth the hassle?

Clearly, production will begin on a new game following GTA VI's release. I'm curious to know what everyone's thoughts are regarding what could potentially be on the creative conveyor belt for Rockstar.

RDR 3: due to the massive amounts of popularity, this seems like an obvious choice. That being said, since they did make that their last game in between GTA VI and GTA V I'm not certain that this is the franchise that they're immediately going to select to jump back into. I think that Red Dead 2 is easily one of the best games ever made so I wouldn't necessarily be mad if this was the path they chose.

Bully 2: while a long shot, bully has garnered a pretty massive cult following over the years. We know that there were at least two attempts to develop a sequel that was scrapped. Dan howser cited the primary issue with the development being bandwidth issues, so with as much time passing and technological advancement as we have had since their last attempt, maybe that would give them a reason to return to this project.

L.A. Noire 2 or spiritual successor: much like Bully, this game has developed a pretty massive cult following. Arguably more than Bully has. Couple this with them appointing Brendan Mcnamara (the head project director on L.A. Noire) as head of a rockstar development studio in Australia and you do have an interesting case for this being likely. I would have to imagine given the controversy Mcnamara had with L.A. Noire's development that they would have to feel like they NEED him for something specific to provide him a leadership role again. Along with that you have the progression in technological developments that would allow a more fully realized vision of the facial reading initially envisioned for the original game's interrogation gameplay. There was an attempted sequel in development previously but was ultimately dropped prior to the completion. However, Rockstar has not abandoned this intellectual property entirely. In more recent years they released a VR Port, and more importantly a remaster which to me shows their interest in keeping this franchise in the public eye. There have been quotes from higher ups at Rockstar talking about how they view L.A Noire as one of their major franchises.

Max Payne 4: rumors recently began circling around the remasters for the original 2 PlayStation 2 titles being developed as of recently. This could certainly be an indication that they plan on attempting to continue this franchise.

New game: there have been a number of canceled or rumored original projects in more recent years. Games such as Spy, which I think is going to be less likely due to the success of Hitman and the likely success of James Bond: First Light later this month. The most recent rumor I've heard regarded an open world style game set in medieval times. While I think a game like that would have a more difficult time competing with something like Kingdom Come Deliverance, I do know that Warhorse Studios did offer to assist Rockstar in development if that was the project they decided to work on next.

I'm curious as to what everyone here speculates to be next. Personally I'd love all of these options but I think the best and potentially most likely is a spiritual successor to L.A. Noire. To me, the hiring of McNamara to lead Rockstar Australia, the advancements in facial scan tech, the massive cult following, and most importantly the lack of ANY other franchise or game to fill the void that game left all seem like great reasons to begin work on that particular project.

Just ordered it. I wanted to let anyone else who was interested know.
