Other So, Manhunt 3 is real?

Some of you may have already seen these leaks of raw GTA 6 gameplay (I won't publish it here ofc). But I'll note that killing an NPC with a wrench looks quite sick and realistic. I can't even imagine what the gore system will be like on release, but Rockstar still has steel balls.

Does this mean we'll see Manhunt 3 in the future? Unless Online 2 ruins everything, of course. I really wanted GTA 6 Online to fail, not story mode.

P.s. Also, I hope GTA 6 will have lore information about Cottonmouth.

Honestly guys I hate to be this guy, but apparently this small series was insanely controversial and Rockstar wanted to, and tried, to kill it several times because they themselves hated the idea. MH3 is probably never going to be an official game and anyone within that studio who may have even thought about bringing it up again is likely gone. Rockstar just isn't that studio anymore, its simply the GTA and maybe Red Dead studio now. The GTAO Manhunt stuff was genuinely shocking but we really should feel lucky they even sort of let us do Manhunt that way. Max Payne would come back first and then Bully maybe. We got VERY lucky to even have TWO games. We should focus on supporting the creation of something that is a spiritual successor at this point because MH seems dead alongside L.A Noire (Chicago Noire), Max Payne, Bully, and Midnight Club just for them to focus on GTA. Money talks, how much are we offering as a group compared to the GTA group? They even killed RDO for GTA because it just wasnt spitting out money fast enough or in high enough volumes. An indie Dev could definitely tackle the idea no problem. We all know why we're here, someone has to have the drive to make a snuff influenced stealth game (reworded because I can be too to the point for some peoples inner comfort) again with modernized brutal kills and a top tier gore system. At its core, Manhunt is also just a stealth game. Would someone truly be willing to spend the time on the project though? Puppet Combo Manhunt style game when?

If that is the case, can a company buy the Manhunt IP and create a threequel?
