“It will be no worse than GTA V”: GTA star wants to make a game with Russian developers and see a GTA set in Moscow

Ned Luke wouldn't mind working with specialists from Russia.

Recently, Grand Theft Auto V star Ned Luke visited Russia. He played the role of Michael De Santa, and now travels and gives interviews. During a presentation at the second Moscow International Video Game Week, he shared his impressions of what he saw.

Ned Luke praised the Moscow Video Game and Animation Cluster. According to the actor, thanks to the infrastructure offered here, one could make a game no worse than Rockstar Games projects:

The actor also noted that what he saw over the past two days “blew his mind,” and addressed developers: “You have a chance, and it is right here.” In his opinion, Russian gaming technologies are currently at a high level, and the next challenge for the domestic industry is reaching a global audience. Ned Luke admitted that he would like to participate in creating a Russian game himself: “I want to make a video game here. I think I even have to do it.”

Ned Luke also expressed the opinion that Moscow “would be great for GTA,” but, the actor clarified, first it is necessary “to come and scout everything, because in these games everything is done just like in a real city.”

He admits that from a logistics standpoint it would be difficult to pull off, but “overall it’s a great idea, it would be awesome.”

Ned Luke also praised the Russian slasher that developers from Watt Studio plan to release next year.
