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.
