6 Takeaways From the GTA VI Extended Look
Grand Theft Auto VI is nigh. Here’s what the developer revealed about its highly anticipated game.
1. GTA VI is the most anticipated game ever, with 13 years having passed since the last entry in the series. The game was unveiled through a 26-minute livestream event on Netflix, which featured gameplay, cutscenes, and game mechanics.
2. The game features two main characters, Jason and Lucia, who can be controlled simultaneously. Their relationship evolves throughout the game based on the player's actions, and they engage in criminal activities in the fictional Vice City, a counterpart to Miami.
3. Players can customize the appearance of their characters, with actions such as eating and working out affecting their weight and physique. Clothing options, coordinated with real-life fashion designers, are also available, although some may only be accessible in the $100 Ultimate Edition.
4. NPCs in the game are more responsive and interactive than in previous games, with Rockstar dedicating an entire studio to developing pedestrian behavior. The environment is vast, allowing for a variety of activities such as fanboating, kayaking, scuba diving, and jet skiing in the Florida setting.
5. Driving in GTA VI has been greatly improved, with a minimap resembling an actual GPS guiding the player. Car chases are more immersive, and players can damage vehicles and cause environmental destruction, such as flipping cars and smashing through walls.
6. User-generated content has been a crucial aspect of GTA games, and GTA VI continues this tradition. Rockstar acquired the modding marketplace Cfx and integrated it as an official platform for sharing and purchasing user-created mods, alongside the GTA Online's Rockstar Mission Creator, showcasing the game's potential for user creativity.
