With the latest information that the Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer will quickly be upon us, now looks as if a very good time for some good old school hypothesis blended with a sprinkling of hopeless need and optimism.
It’s been over 10 years since GTA 5 was launched. Within the decade since, improvement know-how has progressed, with breakthroughs in graphics, processing energy, and two generations of consoles, so expectations are increased than ever for the following recreation.
Pleasure for GTA 6 is at fever pitch ranges due to the information the first trailer is dropping in early December, so we’re going to be taking a look at six issues—as a result of, in fact, it needs to be six—that we need to see and may very well be attainable in GTA 6.
6) A return to Vice Metropolis and/or Liberty Metropolis
Grand Theft Auto: Vice Metropolis is a well-liked installment within the collection that incorporates a colourful setting impressed by Miami. Followers have speculated that Vice Metropolis may very well be the setting for GTA 6, seeing as we already bought to see each San Andreas and Liberty Metropolis rebuilt for the fashionable day in GTA 5 and GT4, respectively.
It will make a variety of sense for Vice Metropolis to a minimum of make an look in GTA 6, however I feel a return to Liberty Metropolis can be attainable. The final time we noticed the town was in Grand Theft Auto 4, which launched again in 2008. Each console and PC gaming have modified and improved dramatically since then, so it will be fascinating to see how a lot Rockstar Video games can overhaul such a widely known in-game metropolis for the brand new era of gaming.
Whether or not they’re main areas, areas you merely move via, or locations you go to throughout sure missions, a return to Vice Metropolis or Liberty Metropolis could be an ideal addition to the following GTA recreation.
5) Customization to the max
When you concentrate on customization within the Grand Theft Auto video games, the very first thing more likely to come to thoughts is automobile customization. The franchise known as Grand Theft Auto, in any case, so it’s no shock a big portion of the main target is on the vehicles and driving. The customization of garments and hair for the participant character can be one thing that has been distinguished since Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. That being mentioned, an entire new degree of customization for varied parts within the subsequent installment may very well be a enjoyable inclusion.
Though you’ll be able to customise your personal character in GTA On-line, the primary collection has all the time been a franchise with set characters fairly than player-created characters. As talked about, you’ll be able to customise them to an extent, altering their hair and garments, however including extra choices for customizing the characters may very well be an effective way so as to add a little bit of participant character to the central characters whereas nonetheless sustaining a devoted protagonist (or protagonists).
One other approach to give GTA 6 a extra private contact could be so as to add the choice to customise your property and another properties or companies you personal. Customization of your house is accessible in GTA On-line, however there isn’t a lot to it, and customization of Michael, Franklin, and Trevor’s houses in GTA 5 was non-existent. It doesn’t must be in-depth or sophisticated. I’m not speaking about The Sims degree of constructing and customizing, just a few ornament choices to provide your residing house a bit extra character.
4) Extra shops and different interactable areas
There are numerous shops within the GTA video games, most of that are outfitters, weapon shops, quick meals eating places, or comfort shops. Gamers should purchase from these locations or rob them if they like, however increasing on this may very well be an effective way to make the world really feel extra alive.
This might hyperlink again to the thought of extra customization potentialities, akin to by together with shops the place you could possibly buy objects to customise any properties you personal. Possibly we may even get pet shops the place we may purchase or undertake some furry associates for our protagonist. When taking part in as Franklin in GTA V, you had a pet within the type of Chop the canine, however together with a pet retailer could be an fascinating method so as to add a bit extra selection and depth to the thought of pets within the Grand Theft Auto collection.
There are all kinds of potentialities with these sorts of shops and areas that may very well be included within the subsequent GTA recreation, although there must be a very good stability in regard to implementing this characteristic. This can be a GTA title, in any case, and we nonetheless need it to really feel like one. If anybody can discover a approach to keep this stability, it’s Rockstar.
3) A feminine protagonist who doesn’t really feel pressured
Girls have hardly ever gotten the possibility within the GTA franchise to be greater than eye sweet or over-the-top stereotypes (particularly within the earlier titles). In our modern-day and age, there’s an opportunity for Rockstar Video games to create a really superior feminine protagonist who can maintain her personal in a franchise primarily dominated by males.
There have been rumors that there will likely be two protagonists in GTA 6. The rumors recommend the playable characters will likely be a female and male couple with a Bonnie and Clyde-like relationship. I actually hope that is the case, as taking part in the sport as a prison couple not solely is sensible from a story perspective but additionally matches in completely with the opposite protagonists within the Grand Theft Auto franchise.
As a feminine gamer who has all the time cherished the GTA video games (and was method too younger after they began taking part in them), I used to be initially a bit frightened about rumors of a feminine protagonist within the subsequent recreation.
I used to be frightened it would really feel pressured or that the thought was getting used as a gimmick fairly than as a result of the writers truly had a strong concept for a personality. That being mentioned, it’s clear Rockstar isn’t within the behavior of together with something in its video games for the sake of public approval, so my worries have subsided as of late. I’m fairly positive if the developer decides to incorporate a feminine protagonist, it can create a personality that won’t solely maintain her personal, but additionally do the franchise justice.
2) An overhauled climate system
This would possibly seem to be a nitpick, however the climate within the GTA video games has all the time felt a bit lackluster. In GTA 5, rain would have an effect on your driving, which I all the time thought was a cool contact. Nonetheless, this might undoubtedly go larger in a brand new GTA recreation. Seasonal adjustments and totally different climate to match the altering seasons would make the world really feel extra sensible and will impression how gamers maneuver round it.
Think about it begins to snow when the climate goes via the winter cycle, and also you get to trigger chaos on the roads as persons are struggling to drive within the harsh terrain. There may be storms and different extreme climate situations that amp up the drama whereas in missions or free roaming. If there’s an choice to rob a financial institution in the midst of a hurricane, I’m undoubtedly going to take that alternative.
The chances are infinite if you wish to be much more of a public menace in several climate situations. I need to trigger issues on objective, Rockstar, and I need to do all of it yr spherical, come rain or shine.
1) A change to the wished system
I don’t assume the star-wanted degree system within the GTA franchise ought to change, as its such an iconic staple of the collection. However that doesn’t imply that different parts of the policing system couldn’t do with a tune-up within the subsequent recreation.
One of many greatest gripes many people had with GTA 5 was you’d get the identical response to crimes regardless of the place you dedicated them and who noticed them. In the event you ran down a bunch of pedestrians in the midst of the town, you wouldn’t be stunned when the cops confirmed as much as bust your ass instantly. In the event you began inflicting a ruckus out in the midst of nowhere with no witnesses, although, you’d get the identical response. This doesn’t make sense, since there’s no method for the police to know precisely the place you might be and instantly come and get you.
There may be a lot that may very well be accomplished with a change within the policing system within the subsequent recreation. Let’s say you kill an harmless particular person since you’re simply absolutely the worst (however this can be a GTA recreation, so that you’re forgiven for now). Police exercise within the space may change into intense as they seek for the lacking particular person, or maybe they discover their physique, and now they’re on excessive alert for the assassin. Once more, that is one thing that may be very powerful to implement in a recreation, however Rockstar video games aren’t thought of a few of the better of the perfect for no motive.
This might add an entire new layer of gameplay to prison exercise and the police response parts the video games are well-known for. Gamers would want to assume a bit extra earlier than committing a criminal offense to anticipate what the police response is likely to be, fairly than simply drive away as shortly as they will and conceal someplace secluded till their star degree slowly decreases.
There undoubtedly must be some type of change to the police system in GTA 6, because it simply doesn’t make sense for the cops to immediately be in your tail even in the event you dedicated a criminal offense with no witnesses out in the midst of nowhere.
