It is known that there are two playable protagonists, Jason and Lucia, as GTA VI will bring out a Bonnie and Clyde kind of relationship in the game.
Grand Theft Auto (GTA) has been around since 1997 and has had a loyal fanbase ever since. Sixteen games have been made in the series, so far. This popular open-world game puts the player on missions to gain money and power through a series of illegal activities. GTA has seen many guest stars over the years including Phil Collins, Dennis Hopper, Samuel L Jackson, Michael Madsen, and more. It seems that Vice City and GTA IV have been highly ranked compared to the rest of the series. GTA V was also extremely popular once it came out. It has character switching as well as GTA Online. However, fans have been growing anxious as they wait for GTA VI an entire decade later.
The big question is: will GTA VI live up to the expectations? The answer is most likely, yes. We only know this because of the major GTA VI leak that happened near the end of September. This leak contained videos and pictures of the graphics for the new game. It has been confirmed that the leak was real, and Rockstar Games stated that they are upset people found out about details in that way, but they plan to continue in the same direction. The videos and photos have since been taken down from anywhere they have been posted. The leaks were all videos and photos of the game being tested, so there could still be many changes, and some features may not make it through to the final product.
It is known that there are two playable protagonists, Jason and Lucia. This has fans ecstatic as one of them is female and Latina. This confirmation happened because of the September leak exposing these two players in different scenes while testing the game. GTA VI will bring out a Bonnie and Clyde kind of relationship. Building on this topic of people in the game, it was noticed that the characters are all different heights. This is just one of the many things they have been working on to have more realistic value.
The footage displayed the insane visuals of Vice City for GTA VI and the realism is epic. The way that trees and their leaves blow in the wind, how clothes flow or crinkle, and the way that a human moves with the kickback of a shooting a gun. It is almost as if every blade of grass can be seen, vehicles in snapshots look like real photos, the skies have much more detail, and the way dust moves on dirt roads when driving over them is incredible. Rockstar Games has been working hard to bring mind blowing imagery.
There are other new details that will be added such as crawling, protecting your head with your hands, and the ability to pick up another person. It is unknown what these features will be used for. Perhaps the player will need to crawl through small spaces. There is a possibility that there will be passenger shooting from moving vehicles, which would make the game more interesting. With current games, it is nearly impossible to shoot skillfully from a moving vehicle.
There are rumors that players can only hold a limited number of weapons at a time while storing the remaining weapons elsewhere. There is a functional duffle bag in the leaked footage and so there is a high probability of using that to store weapons, money, or drugs. Your player may be able to leave weapons in the car while you pick your favorite pair to go on certain missions.
Because of GTA VI being located in Vice City, it is very likely that they will bring back the Scarface easter eggs. If you do not know about these, there are a number of them throughout the city in the original game. You can find videos or maps online that will show you how to find them. They are an excellent find on a side adventure and definitely one of the many perks to playing GTA in general. The idea of GTA is you can go on set missions, or you can just explore on your own in the open-world setting. You even have the option to do jumps on your vehicle and receive money for it. You can do whatever you want, and it is truly a fun personalized experience.
Now, people are talking about a lot of minor details, such as being able to adjust the seat in a car or moving the sun visor to keep the sun out of the character’s eyes. The question here is: will this be something the player has to worry about? This could make playing the game complicated because of certain situations such as a high-speed chase. Imagine pressing the gas, steering, braking, possibly shooting, and on top of that you have to manually move a visor because otherwise, you will be compromised by the sun from different angles while going around turns. Hopefully, this is something that the character does on their own without player resorting to micromanagement.
All in all, it seems like GTA VI is going to bring a few surprises despite the leak. The build-up will be worth it and fans will be thrilled to explore Vice City in a new and improved way. Some have expressed concern about going back to Vice City, even as a classic, but after the leak those concerned became filled with nostalgia and are eager to see Vice City in a new light. The way they have recreated this beloved Floridian area makes it almost feel new while also familiar. It will be interesting to see what features make it to the final product. All of the GTA superfans are more than ready for this game to come out, and it is going to be an epic launch.
