rockstar says gta 6 is extremely tough to reveal because of all the cool stuff

Caught the Kinda Funny interview clip and Rockstar basically said GTA 6 is "extremely tough" to show off because there's so much cool stuff in it. That's the whole quote and it's driving me nuts.
Like we've already seen two trailers and that extended look back in August. If they're still saying it's hard to pick what to reveal, what are we missing? The map, the systems, the random encounters, all of it. They've shown a ton and apparently it's just the tip.
I remember Rob Nelson saying the devs still find new stuff in their own game. Now this. It feels like Rockstar is sitting on a pile of features they can't even talk about without spoiling something bigger.
What do you think they're holding back? The online mode? Some crazy weather system? Maybe the whole second half of the story is a different tone and they don't want to spoil it.

Calling it now, it's the customization. Deep tuning menus, engine swaps, full body kit options. That stuff doesn't fit in a 90 second trailer. SAVE it for launch.
It's the online mode. That's the one thing they can't show without a whole separate event around it. Single player is the $80 ticket, online is the decade of shark card revenue that comes after. GTA V cleared $1 billion in three days and then Online kept printing for ten years straight. You're not burning that reveal on a random interview quote.
Deep tuning menus, engine swaps
That's screenshot material, not a reveal. But an online economy, businesses, payouts, cooldowns, the second they show that, every grinder on earth is running profit-per-hour math before the game even ships. Rockstar wants us discovering the meta at launch, not pre-solving it in October. We hear nothing real about GTA 6 Online until after November 19. Mark it.
a different tone and they don't want to spoil it
That's my bet. Trailers sell a vibe fine, but you can't show a midpoint turn without gutting it. Lucia and Jason's arc is the thing Rockstar will guard hardest, same as RDR2 hiding its later chapters right up to launch. The online stuff gets shown eventually, that's just business. Story moments don't survive the marketing machine.
My money's on the radio! You can't spoil a needle drop in a trailer, that's a moment you have to earn behind the wheel. Flash FM made Vice City feel alive back in the day, and if Leonida's stations are even half as stacked, they'd guard that tracklist like treasure. The right song hitting at the right story beat lands harder than any cutscene!
