offroading in gta 6 should actually punish you for bringing a supercar
I keep thinking about this. Leonida's got swamps, the Grassrivers, all that backcountry around Mount Kalaga. If I can just blast through a muddy trail in a lowered Zentorno without any trouble, it's gonna feel like a missed opportunity.
GTA 5 had some differences. Sports cars would spin out on dirt if you pushed them, but you could still get pretty much anywhere with enough patience. It never really forced you to think about what you were driving. I want GTA 6 to go a bit further. Not full SnowRunner, nobody's asking for that. But if you're heading into the swamp, you should be sweating in a Comet. Meanwhile a lifted pickup or an ATV should feel right at home.
The source post mentioned tuning, and that's where it gets interesting. Let me slap off-road tires and a raised suspension on a sports car and make it somewhat capable. It won't be as good as a dedicated off-roader, but it'll get you through. That feels like a natural extension of the customization we already have. RDR2's horses had different temperaments and handling on rough ground, so Rockstar clearly thinks about this stuff.
I'm not expecting BeamNG levels of simulation. But if the game is called Grand Theft Auto, the vehicles should matter. The right tool for the job, you know? I'd love to see a mission where you actually have to prep a vehicle for a swamp escape or risk getting bogged down. That's the kind of detail that makes the world feel real without turning it into a chore.

Supercars in the swamp? Rebel Radio can't fix that mood. Give me a lifted truck and some real backroad noise!
I'm all for this. If we're doing a Grassrivers extraction, I want vehicle choice to be part of the pre-planning. Roll up in a lowered supercar and you deserve to get stuck. That's on you.

You need a spotter on comms and a lifted 4x4 on point. Anything else is just bad logistics.
Tuning should matter too. Slap some all-terrain tires and a lift kit on a sports coupe and it'll survive. Not thrive. Just enough to limp out if your primary gets torched. That kind of fallback planning is what separates a clean payout from a bogged-down mess.
Rockstar's already shown they get terrain with RDR2. Porting that mentality into vehicle loadouts for Leonida would make the world feel dangerous in the right ways. No simulation needed. Just consequences.

Exactly. If the terrain doesn't fight back, the getaway has no teeth. I want to feel the mud pulling at the wheels like some slow-moving third act villain. Make the land itself a character with motivation. That's the kind of tension you can't fake.
