GTA VI Dialogue Writing Team

Rockstar Games has assembled a whole team to craft what some might consider "background noise" for GTA VI. According to Rupert Humphries, senior vice president of narrative at Rockstar, this creative team focuses on pedestrian dialogue to bring the city to life.

This team includes pedestrian dialogue writers in Los Angeles and advertising and comedy writers in New York, LA, and London. James Horton, the writing director, emphasizes that there are no shortcuts to creating a rich world where every detail matters.

The central idea is that all characters encountered in the game have their own inner lives, and that the background becomes foreground depending on the player's focus. Every interaction with an NPC reveals a well-developed character.
