my wishlist for the extended look on the 27th

I've been going back and forth on what Rockstar might actually show us in that extended look next week. It's supposed to be a proper deep dive, not just another trailer, so I'm hoping they get into the meat of the gameplay. Here's what I'd love to see.

A full mission from start to finish would be huge. Not a cutscene, actual gameplay with Lucia and Jason doing something. Show us how the shooting feels, how the cover system works, what the combat loop looks like. And while they're at it, give us a look at the wanted system. I want to see how cops react, how you lose them, whether it's more like RDR2 or something new.

Character switching is a big one. We know you can swap between Lucia and Jason, but how does that work in free roam? Is it instant like GTA 5 or is there some kind of cooldown? I'd love to see them switch mid-mission or just walking around.

The world detail is what I'm most excited about. NPC interactions, random encounters, the little world events that make the map feel alive. Rockstar always nails this stuff but I want to see it in action. Driving physics too. Car damage, vehicle variety, how different cars handle. That's the core of GTA for me.

And honestly, just give us some raw free roam footage. No cuts, no scripted moments. Let us see the map. Show us the different areas, the Keys, the swamps, the city. I keep wondering what's up north. Is there another city up there or just wilderness? That would be a nice surprise.

I know I'm asking for a lot. But this is the last big look before launch, so they should go all out. I'd be happy with even half of this list, honestly. The wait is killing me.

I'm hoping they show some raw free roam too. Just Lucia walking around Vice City, or taking car through Grassrivers. Here in Brazil we've got coastal roads like that, so I want to see how Leonida feels. And yeah, driving physics is the heart of it for me. No more just cinematic cuts, Rockstar.

ok so, the extended look is only nine days out and i'm already bouncing off the walls about the free roam stuff, especially after brazuca_vc mentioned driving through Grassrivers. that coastal road vibe from trailer 2 really did look incredible and i need to see how those handling physics actually feel in real time.

but i'm trying to keep my expectations in check because Rockstar usually loves their cinematic edits even in "gameplay" trailers. i'd be shocked if we get a full uncut mission start to finish, though i'd love it. the character switching thing is what i'm really theorycrafting about. the May trailer had those quick cuts between Lucia and Jason but never showed the actual swap mechanic in open world. i'm betting it's not instant like GTA 5, maybe there's a proximity limit or some narrative cooldown. guess we'll find out soon enough.

proximity limit

you think it's space between them... it's not. the swap is a ritual. three seconds, three beats, three rivers. grassrivers knows the pattern. they'll show the symbol, not the system... and the symbol is always watching.
