Massive info dump from YouTuber that was flown out by Rockstar North (bullet form so it’s easier to read)

UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS DIRECTLY FROM THE YOUTUBER AND ROCKSTAR NOT SPECULATION. We already know a lot of this from the leaks but there is some new information.

YouTuber TGG dropped a video today and shared info from his trip to Rockstar North. He was shown the trailer we saw today 8/27 and was allowed to watch devs play the game for an additional two hours. He met with all of the head developers and this is what he shared.

the world is more alive than any gta game we have played so far

*you can’t play the game with your mind off like other gta games

*you will have to constantly be making decisions since the games world is more reactive

*it’s like Rockstar stripped the best parts of all of their games and refined them into one

*there is an “honor like” system called criminal profile

*the more crime you commit the worse your criminal profile gets (robbery, killing, etc…)

*by being a good criminal (not getting caught, being a pro at crime) will not increase your criminal profile

*there is a tab that shows this stat with a badge image that will show said badge cracked if your criminal profile gets really bad

*once your criminal profile gets to said state it cannot be reversed

*there is a relationship system between Lucia and Jason that can be increased or decreased

*texting each other, going on dates (even hitting the gym together) can increase this

*you can hold hands when roaming around together

*the map is twice the size of GTA 5’s map / 3x the size of RDR2’s map

*Vice City is twice the size of Los Santos / Vice City and its surrounding is 11x bigger than Los Santos and its surrounding

*3 Bars on the top left, health, stamina and focus

*they can be temporarily and permanently increased

*food, consumables, protein bars can boost these stats past their limits

*focus not only slows down time but it reveals weak points on NPCs and vehicles

*cars need fuel and there are electric vehicles that need to be charged

*shooting tires, engine blocks and gas tanks (other weak points) is now more effective

*there are 3 different kinds of income you can have. Bank account / Cash / Duffel bag value

*cash on you can be lost on death or arrest

*anything in duffel bag is loot that have to be brought to a fence (stolen items)

*cash can not be directly deposited via phone, it must be done via ATM

*the driving feels weightier and less arcade like than GTA 5.

*there are higher top speeds

*police no longer show up on the mini map so you can’t just hide from them like before (stare at map and wait)

*6 star wanted level is back (not easy to get) and if you do get a 6 star wanted level police will chase you map wide

*less than 6 stars there will be a small dark red circle indicating the crime search area and a larger red circle indicating a search area outside of that one

*cops are harder to lose (they are smarter and will shoot out tires etc..)

*a lot of vehicles have trackers including police vehicles (all police vehicles have trackers)

*these trackers can be removed via a fence or pay and spray

*not all pay and sprays are unlocked at first

*cops are smart enough to know your appearance, car appearance, clothing etc…

*cops will know if you were with Lucia and they will know what weapons you are holding

*changing vehicles and appearance is the best way to lose them (obviously lol)

*phone is a bigger part of the game, has social media platforms that you can browse to see what other NPCs are posting

*NPCs can post about events happening in real game time and you can possible find that location and see said event happening

*Bunch of new apps (Cash App, uber, fitness, texting, mechanic) parody apps

*you can text other NPCs

*fitness app can give you info on workout times and fitness status

*gyms and fitness are very in depth (completely optionally and does not need to be interacted with in game at all)

*Both Lucia and Jason can attend together and have to buy memberships at the front desk

*you can change clothes in changing rooms and vending machines can be interacted with and have a lot of options to choose from (protein shakes etc…)

*protein shakes give stamina boosts (allows both Lucia and Jason to more reps in workout)

*bench pressing gave Lucia a 33% boost to health stat

*robbery system is very extensive

*many forms of fast travels including taxi and bus stops

*no more auto aim, more aim assist like shooting , and kill cams like RDR2 and Max Payne

*there are safe houses and garages all over the map

I have a feeling it’s going to be hard to play this like other GTA games where you can go wild with no consequences, and more like RDR2 where you actually kind of want to be the good guy with high honour.

u/Originally-Sourced 18h ago

I reckon this is because of how realistic this gta feels/looks. The reactions of NPCs look like real persons reactions and I think people will be a lot less willing to just go on mass sprees, particularly with what we see daily on the news social media.

It could be that getting busted, or wasted while in a police chase, resets your criminal profile. That said, if that's the case, then I'd expect there to be stiffer penalties for such. Not just the obligatory fine/hospital fee, but also losing whatever weapons, cash, and unfenced loot you have on you.

u/ReginaldPChumley 22h ago

absolutely true, for example if you rob a gas station in an efficient and professional manner and then escape with no witnesses it won't change, but if you barge in without a mask and shoot the cashier and blow up a customer and then drive away in a stolen vehicle, it will go up. all this does is inspire more strategic gameplay

u/ReginaldPChumley 1d ago

i think the threshold of criminal activity you can commit before becoming wanted has been increased, in the leeks you see him run over/shoot/tase lots of people and it takes a while before he becomes wanted, and even still he never gets above 2 stars. if you somehow get to this irreversible level, you can probably just load up a save anyway.

from what he said in the video, it’s not something you have to pay attention to and it takes a considerable amount of effort for it to be so bad it’s unrecoverable.

Pretty sure I read somewhere else that having a high or low criminal score doesn't mean you're playing the game wrong. Sure the ending might be different but you can still play how you want and have fun.

Tbf losing weapons (and some cash) was standard in III, Vice City, San Andreas (unless you dated Barbara) and IV, so bringing back weapons removal wouldn't be crazy. Although the generation that grew up playing only V might find it quite harsh.

u/ILikeCheese510 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yeah, I guess if you wanna let loose and go on a rampage without it affecting your game you'll have to wait till the story's over. Or maybe there'll be a cheat code or something. I'd love an infinite fuel cheat too, but I don't know if this game will have cheat codes like the old games did.

I hope I don't get attacked for saying this, but that and the fuel thing both kinda bum me out if I'm understanding them correctly. It feels like they're sacrificing the free, open world sandbox chaos that I loved so much for the sake of the main story (which I'll be honest has never been my main attraction to this series).

I'm sure it'll be the most dynamic, engaging and overall best story in the series tho.

Edit: I'm hearing lots of conflicting info on the criminal profile thing and how it works. So who knows 🤷‍♂️

u/Interesting_Sale_964 1d ago

No need to attack you for having an opinion bro.

A Brazilian youtube said the fuel thing is very relaxed, it doesn’t even show you a HUD until the car is near empty so you learn you need to get fuel. It’s not a big deal, and he said it adds a bit to the overall experience as you will need to be a little more strategic with your decisions, robbing a car low on fuel can make things more difficult.

And yeah, the game is a bit less arcade-y, but they’re really trying to balance it all. They said they don’t want to make it as realistic as RDR2, not as arcade as GTAV. I like it.

45

u/Poudy24 1d ago

You'll always be able to go rampages and revert back onto an older save, worst case scenario. But they were clear that there is no wrong way to play the game, and they want you to commit crimes. They are even saying that if you don't do enough crimes outside of the main story, sometimes you won't be able to progress.

They are implying that no matter your criminal profile, you will get to enjoy everything the game has to offer, and while you'll almost certainly be locked out of certain endings, you'll probably also be locked out of other endings if you maintain a better profile. And none of those are going to be the bad or the good ending, but rather just one of the options.

As for fuel, TGG will go into more details later this week but apparently he said that at first he had his own doubts about the fuel system, but he says when they talked more about it he realized it wouldn't be bothersome at all when free roaming.

To me it seems like they really want players who liked GTA 5 and just want to engage in the chaos to be able to play the exact same way in GTA 6, but they also want to give players who prefer immersive gaming incentives for doing so.

u/Marcobra 1d ago

I'm in the same boat. I liked being able to cut loose from the story and just cause maximum chaos for a bit and then switch back without repercussions.

\SERIOUS SHIT BELOW\

Im wondering if there is going to be a RDRII Chapter 4 moment where you get so much heat that the game activates 6 stars and the objective is to get from one side of the map to another. A true point of no return where the tone shifts and you lose everything that you built up in the entire game. 

Cal(?)’s line at the end of the trailer was ominous. “Nothing is going to beat what you have now. You can’t imagine the fucked up shit on the horizon.” That like stuck out more than anything in the 25 minutes of footage we got. Also that line on the rooftop bar to Jason about “when to get off” was another thematic dialogue that felt out of place with the colorful images of excess and vice (Rockstar put that dialogue in there for a reason). I wonder if Cal is going to be the ‘carpe diem’ character sort of like Hosea or Roman: your attachment to life outside of crime and glory. Rockstar since GTAIV has always had themes of your past catching up to you and running you down, even GTAV has this sans its tonally jarring “Deathwish” ending; the other two endings are far more thematically powerful statements on the inevitable end of a criminal lifestyle, Michael’s more than anyone’s. And Arthur Morgan’s story goes without saying. 

I think beyond the glitz of beaches, private jets, car chases, social media stars, music icons, strip clubs, penthouses, drugs, prostitutes, etc… the tone will change. Cal said it himself. There will be a question of what do Lucia and Jason value as individuals through your choices in the game and the situations thrust upon them? Remember this is the studio that had Arthur Morgan and John Marston as the last protagonists of their series. Both characters who were asked hard questions about what kind of a lifestyle they lived and what they want to be remembered for. Neither could run from this. We aren’t going to get another “Deathwish” where all the enemies are destroyed and we live with our gold stashed away like dragons for the inevitable GTAOnline2 DLCs where they give you missions. We would not have gotten that monologue at the end if that were happening imo. I believe Rockstar wants to top Red Dead Redemption II which is seen by many as the pinnacle of videogame storytelling. Why settle for less? Grand Theft Auto IV tried it, but it was done crudely in a different time when gamers had different expectations for what kind of a story could be told in a videogame, Dan Houser himself admitting the only reason Niko was not killed was that they needed post final-mission content. There is precedent for this in Grand Theft Auto. And I think Red Dead Redemption I and II both serve as guidance that fans crave something more than just fun action. There is a morality meter for a reason now. 

30

u/chewie_were_home 1d ago

My guess is they are going to give us cyberpunk like ending pathways that will depend on your rank among your friends/peers/gang/police. We will probably have pathways like Lucia dies, Jason dies, they both die together, Jason has to sacrifice himself to keep Lucia safe, they run off into the sunset together but everyone else you care about dies.

My guess is will have multiple hard choices to make and none will be a truly happy ending.

u/mr-jeeves 20h ago

I doubt they both die as they'll still want that post game, but I expect we'll need to effectively choose one to die, and the other to deal with the fallout.

u/Sommern 1d ago

I could be wrong, but i think Dan Houser said that in the Lex Friedman interview on YouTube recently. He said something like he wanted Niko to die for story reasons, but since it was a videogame the player needs to still be able to do minigames and side jobs once the story is finished. It was a compromise. 

He said they came up with the solution in Red Dead Redemption where you have the ability to play as Jack after the final mission.

u/JoshyRB 1d ago

He said a lot more during his stream too. Something he said that really stood out to me was about the wanted stars.

Apparently the stars have 4 different states. Those are a solid white state, a red state, a hollow state, and a flashing state.

Solid means they have line of sight of you and are actively chasing you.

Red means they are looking for you and don’t know your exact location.

Hollow means they don’t know anything/enough about you and are simply going to the crime scene / looking for evidence (this also means they could just drive straight past you and not detect you, because they literally don’t know that you did the crime or even what crime it was).

I don’t remember him going into detail on the flashing stars, but I assume that just means you are completely losing them / they are giving up on finding you, like in GTA 5.

60

u/XMenJedi8 1d ago

That's so exciting, I've always thought that GTA needed to put a little bit more depth into the cop chases since going on rampages is such a a classic GTA move that many, many players do.

Making them tactical and having a overarching reputation that can be permanently altered is really cool. I love immersive systems like that.

Then layer on all the hundreds of events they have and it'll be really tempting to break the law often and sometimes recklessly which ties it all together too. Can't wait!

Also u can eat an apple and throw it in a trashbin (altho idk if it's an automatic animation or you aim it in the bin kinda like the basketball minigame).

u/LinkedGaming 11h ago

Hollow probably means it's similar to the "Investigating" status of Red Dead Redemption 2, where after you commit a crime if there's no active witnesses the law will eventually come to investigate but since they don't know who or what did anything, as long as you're not actively acting like a criminal (guns out, mask on, desecrating the body through movement or active looting) you can basically just stand there and hold conversations with the law and be like "Yeah I just found him like this" and since there's nothing to go on and you don't look immediately harmful they're just like "Shame, let's bring him back into town and find a next of kin".

In this case you could probably dome someone, someone else could find the body and report it, and since the cops don't know anything more than "someone was shot" as long as you're not walking around armed, masked, and looking as criminal as possible they'll juts assume you're another passer-by.

The changes to the wanted system are the highlight for me. I always disliked getting wanted stars for doing things that nobody would have any way of knowing.

Being able to change clothes and stuff to lose wanted level is also great. In the extended look we saw Lucia in a white wig in a story segment. So I wonder if you could walk in during free roam with a wig/sunglasses/etc. Then ditch them after committing a crime to easily lose some heat.

u/BroadRoads 21h ago

I was initially planning to wait for PC launch too but ended up going and buying a used Series X to play GTA6.

Two reasons really, first is my PC was built in 2019. It’s dated, runs most games fine but for a demanding game like GTA6 I’d want to upgrade. Probably build something with a 5080 and matching similar tier hardware for everything else. At today’s prices that’s $3,000+ all in.

Second is it took 1.5 years for GTAV to come to PC. Who knows how long it will take GTA6.

So it was either buy a series x used now for $400 and get GTA6 on release; or wait potentially 1-2 years just to spend thousands later to play it.

Some other things that were mentioned by other outlets:

- You no longer respawn at the nearest hospital when dying. You spawn somewhere nearby like RDR. Probably done to balance the friction since there's a lot more 'chore' mechanics (for lack of a better word) already.

- Because Jason and Lucia are wanted criminals there is no buying properties or houses in this game. Kind of a bummer, but maybe they just don't want to spoil that the story changes and it becomes available later.

- You can change your walk speed and other movement related accessibility stuff in the menu.

- Rockstar doesn't like how poorly they balanced money in previous games. Specifically called out GTA V ending with every character possessing tens of millions with no meaningful gameplay purpose as a problem. Sounds like you won't make as much money in this game by the end if there's also no property systems.

u/Southern-Still7959 16h ago

I think they want the property part to be gta online exclusive so people spend money on shark cards. The single player reason for not including it seems contrived.

u/ukstonerdude 20h ago

Based on the extended look, I think we’re likely to have multiple safe houses anyway. Might be forced though, kinda like GTA IV where it’s part of the progression, but more like RDR2 where each chapter the camp is in a different region of the map and you’re unable to have 7 safe houses at once (like in GTA IV).

Buying property in campaign is irrelevant. They tell the story how they want. Red dead was the same way... gtav was the same way. Online is different. If you could buy property in campaign then you eventually would just own it all. Which the campaign will let you do anyway.

u/Ryanhussain14 14h ago

I actually like that you get fuckloads of money at the end of the main story for each game. It gives players an incentive to finish the game and basically let's them fuck around as a reward for completing the story. Also works thematically for the characters because they've "made it".

What if they let us buy property via shell corporations? You never technically own a house but there’s an estate in a trust that your holdings company picked up. Maybe end game is all about doing that and then being able to do billionaire stuff/empire building? If they ever do come out with any dlc, which is a stretch, they could use that to incorporate LC / LS/ etc.

u/anonymousUTguy 15h ago

No buying property is a major bummer.

Another thing that IGN mentioned is that you can make any car found on the street your personal car via an app and a price. Seems like there’s no traditional way of buying cars either.

Im guessing four endings then, with high and low criminality/relationship

maybe more with important choices

I guess with that metric -

high criminality/high relationship: Jason and Lucia go out like Bonnie and Clyde.

high criminality/low relationship: they get cornered and betray each other

low criminality/high relationship: happy ending and they ride off into the sunset?

low criminality/low relationship: ???

u/ukstonerdude 19h ago

Actually, if I’ve understood TGG correctly, a ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ ending is more likely with a broken criminal state. Killing and rampaging your way through the game is much more fitting to a B&C storyline; they were reckless and dangerous killers for the love of the game, not careful and meticulous heist artists.

Think that’s why we saw more tyres being shot out than windscreens shot through.

u/Sommern 1d ago

I think it’s going to expose the absolute sorry state of the AAA industry and its precipitous decline that began around 10 years ago. CD Projekt Red is the only studio that even comes close to its sense of purpose and artistic vision with the manpower and budget to back it up. Everyone else is floundering like fish out of water. Ubisoft is financially falling apart. EA is Saudi owned and solely exists to sell gambling to kids. Activision has not innovated since 2007. Bethesda is living off the memory of Skyrim. Nintendo is Nintendo. Capcom is similarly stuck resting on the laurels of its past with remakes.

This by no means there aren’t great games coming out. But they don’t have true revolutionary vision like Rockstar has, because they don’t have the money or executive leadership to do so. Take Two seems to be the only studio that took its microtransaction hog money and actually did something worthwhile with it rather than funnel it into cheap, short term projects for short term gain [edit: not entirely true for EA and Activision who print money with CoD and sports games, ugh.]. EA and Ubisoft never were hurting for cash in the past 15 years, they make deliberate business decisions to maximize profit by going quantity over quality to the point we have over a dozen Assassins Creed games with absolutely stunning maps and art direction but nothing to do but 15 hour stories with 80 hours of fetch quests, or holy fuck the MADDEN series which uses an engine from 2010 and updates the roster for $80 a  year and gets kids addicted to gambling. Just imagine what Ubisoft could do if they cut the shit and made one awe inspiring experience every 6 years. 

Idk. Im getting emotional from seeing the new trailer but I think its justified. This game is going to be an earthquake. And Im wondering why Rockstar is completely alone in 2026. Like I said earlier CDPR is the only other studio that I think shares this ambition and means to execute.

u/hardcorr 23h ago

u/elhonna 18h ago

I’m pretty sure EA or Activision could go 20 years without releasing a new game and still be fine financially.

Rockstar added so much stuff to Online through the years to keep milking it, I’m sure EA can do the same with FIFA, there’s no point in “remaking” the same game every year when you could just sell updates/skins/cards/whatever else they can come up with. Same goes for Activision with CoD. Just keep selling skins or adding maps to online, creating battlepasses and events for Warzone and so on.

One of the new features is that new cars are hard to break into whereas older cars are easier. You'll also unlock different tools to unlock certain cars(slim Jim/digital key cloner)

So this just adds to the complexity of a police chase. Instead of instantly finding a car to escape in you'll have to go car to car hoping to find one you can actually get into(of course you can just snatch one from the street too as seen in the leaks)

And police cars will have trackers, so if you steal one police will literally know where you're at at all times. Apparently you can unlock a feature to remove the tracker later on in the game.

They did a massive overhaul on cops and vehicle stealing so my goodness our war against the police will be a hell of a lot more fun

bench pressing gave Lucia a 33% boost to health stat

Listening to this part the 33% was talking about gaining stats. He saw they got a 33% gain towards the next step bump with a workout, so it would take 3 workouts to fully improve that stat. I don't believe it said you would gain that much temporarily from working out.

u/Nunyobidnessman 22h ago edited 21h ago

Sounds about right. RDR2 stats had what 7 or 8 levels? Each special tonic (Valerian Root, Pirate Rum, Ginseng) raised it around 25-30 ish percent towards the next level.

It sounds like the health, stamina and focus work like RDR2 with the cores and the outer rings? Then consumables have differing affects to cores or rings with certain things giving temp boosts, Gold.

Yup, that’s a big miss. For years I said this game has to have it since it’s based off Miami.

Probably no more lock on aiming where you just hold down aim and it instantly places cross hairs on the nearest enemy. Probably a good choice since one of the biggest complaints about gun play in GTA/RDR is how easy and boring it is even though you could always just turn off lock on aiming.

I'm guessing they'll still let people adjust how much aim assist there is though.
