Rockstar Games' former VP of creative, Dan Houser, left the company in 2020, but he's still a wellspring of knowledge about Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption, both of which he was a lead writer on. Houser recently shared his insights into both game series as well as a few of Rockstar's unrealized projects.During a nearly three-hour interview with Lex Fridman on YouTube, Houser touched on GTA 5's uncompleted DLC that would have featured Trevor as a secret agent. "It never quite came together, and it was never finished," recalled Houser. "It was about half done when it got abandoned.

So, I would've personally liked to have done more of that in that company."Continue Reading at GameSpot...
