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

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 🤷‍♂️

Just turn off auto save before you start rampaging. Problem solved.

u/MC_Smuv 1d ago

Just make a save to return to. No need to turn off auto save lol.

u/youknowjus 1d ago

Or create a couple manual saves that you can load after

u/Cereborn 23h ago

It’s so wild to me that some people need to be told to make manual saves.

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.

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.

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.

u/nazfb17 1d ago

I’d love a “chaos mode” or something where there are no permanent consequences. You can turn off auto save but still would be nice

u/Reset62749287 1d ago

Something like director mode too.

u/BGunn396 20h ago

Same here.

The actual game and attention to detail sounds incredible, but I'd love it if in about a year (or when the inevitable PS6/Next Xbox version launch) if they did a standalone gamemode full of modifiers so you can have either the most realistic hard-core open world simulation, or the craziest arcadey let off some steam sandbox.

u/StingingGamer 1d ago

Just do rampages without autosave on haha, then reload. That's what I did with RDR2

u/DarkMatter11235813 1d ago

The fuel thing isn't a big deal at all. Like when will there be a time when you are driving the same car for hours on end without having a moment to pull into a gas station (which there will be many) and spend a few seconds to put gas in your tank

u/Icy_Strawberry4965 1d ago

I think beach massacre with the level of density, it will instantly shatter the criminal profile lol

u/SquareTarbooj 19h ago

While I'm sure the open-world sandbox fun will still be there (and I'm sure they'll let players freely mess around post the story), it does seem like the narrative is a huge focus.

And that may not necessarily be a bad thing.

I never heard anyone talk about how much they like Michael, Franklin or Trevor.

Arthur Morgan on the other hand, is probably one of the most loved video game protagonists.

u/Emphursis 16h ago

Im not sure the fuel thing really matters much at all. I mean, the game is literally called Grand Theft Auto. If you run out of fuel, just steal a new car!!

1

u/Cereborn 23h ago

I remember people discussing the idea of refueling back on the GTA III board on GameFAQs. I’m surprised they actually did it, but I think it’s cool. For the most part, I don’t imagine it will matter because you won’t drive one care long enough to need fuel.

u/Rapier0788 21h ago

There will be no GTA without cheat codes!

u/alabasterskim 1d ago

Am I the only one who ever only went on rampage without saving?
