gta 6 is looking like rockstar's greatest hits compilation
Been thinking about everything we've seen so far and it's wild how much they're pulling from their own back catalog. The story balance feels like San Andreas, serious enough to have real stakes but not so grim that it stops being fun. GTA V got a bit too dark in places and III was just bleak. This one seems to hit that sweet spot.
Driving is more like IV, which I know some people hated but I loved. Cars have weight again. And the multiple protagonist thing from V is back, except now Lucia and Jason actually feel connected instead of just three strangers swapping missions.
The car system is straight out of RDR2. You can't just steal a car and park it in your garage anymore. You have to register it, make it yours, store weapons in it. Stealing cars might need a special tool and some have trackers that alert the cops. That's a huge change and I'm honestly into it.
Here's a quick list of other stuff that's got me hyped:
- Honor system mixed with the criminal profile, NPCs react differently and it might change endings
- Police AI massively improved
- You can put bodies in the trunk and hide in there too
- Weight system is back and actually matters, you have to watch what you eat and sleep
- Insane amount of activities, gym, tennis, basketball, mini golf, fishing, hunting, scuba diving, kayaking, airboating, jet skiing, backyard wrestling, cage fighting, street racing, nightclubs, strip clubs, the list goes on
- Melee combat is more like RDR2
- Story is supposedly over 80 hours, longest Rockstar has done
- Side missions feel like they add to the story instead of being chores
- Over 1000 clothing options, tattoos, hairstyles, beards, even shaving at your safehouse
- Dating system is way deeper and might affect the story
The world density is supposedly 11x more than V, which sounds insane. NPCs react like real people. And you can shoot heads off, which Rockstar usually shies away from. Graphics are obviously top tier.
I don't know if all of this is confirmed or just preview talk, but if even half of it is true this game is going to be massive. What's the one feature from this list you're most excited to try first?
