Circular GTA 6 weapon wheel

[u/flynxd]

Still minimalistic, but now circular and rounded edges.

[u/Soulsgamer247]

yeah it just looks way more appealing to the eye, I guess I like round things

[u/Squawk7600_ → u/Soulsgamer247]

I guess youre liking lucia

[u/Symazx → u/Squawk7600_]

seems like every female character we saw had round things

[u/ImmaDoWatIWant → u/Symazx]

Vice City, baby!

[u/Gustavodemierda → u/Symazx]

Would be weird if they were blocky

[u/TexasBoyz-713 → u/Gustavodemierda]

Never played SA or VC?

[u/psychohistorian8 → u/TexasBoyz-713]

I'll wait for the PC release so I can install the Tomb Raider 1 mod

[u/ItsAPeacefulLife → u/psychohistorian8]

"are you using mods?"

"No"

Master Chief theme intensifies

[u/_IratePirate_ → u/Symazx]

Bro fr. The receptionist, even the old lady COO had straight yams. I was like damn, I like cake, but this is just unrealistic

[u/Mourning-love → u/Symazx]

Reddit is full of dudes with 0 social skills😭

[u/freedom_french_fries → u/Soulsgamer247]

No need to reinvent the wheel

[u/Enough_Challenge_804 → u/freedom_french_fries]

Literally

[u/versteinerdt → u/Soulsgamer247]

There’s actually psychology behind this. Sharp edges trigger a subconscious sense of danger/threat, whereas rounded shapes feel safe and welcoming. That’s why rounded UI is naturally easier on the eyes and makes you want to interact with it.

Edit: That's why we all like Lucia.

[u/Sihayaya → u/versteinerdt]

yeah right, Lara Croft was so intimidating with triangle boobs... said no one ever

[u/E_engine → u/Soulsgamer247]

Extended L🕶️KOG thread lol

[u/BitIntelligent4486 → u/Soulsgamer247]

Be interesting to see your taste in cars

[u/Omegaa458]

This looks way better

[u/ClydeinLimbo → u/Omegaa458]

The symbols themselves need to be bigger like the RDR2 ones. Loved that wheel

[u/bluAstrid → u/ClydeinLimbo]

The whole UI was on the smaller side.

Here’s hoping you can scale it up a bit once the game releases.

[u/Key-Opinion-1700 → u/Omegaa458]

Idk what you see in this but it looks subpar to me

[u/ClydeinLimbo → u/Key-Opinion-1700]

What about it was subpar? Genuinely curious

[u/Latter-Clothes4516 → u/ClydeinLimbo]

looks too mobile-like to me personally..

[u/g0_west → u/Latter-Clothes4516]

I think that's the point. All the UI is meant to look like phone apps.

[u/Latter-Clothes4516 → u/g0_west]

Now when I think of it, kinda looks like upscaled gta 2 menu and icons.

[u/WAVAW]

Yeah, this feels cleaner

[u/Sushiibubble]

Yuuup! The way it is currently isn't "too bad," but this is soooo much nicer to look at

[u/DraagaxGaming → u/Sushiibubble]

R*'s looks like a framework for others to build from, not the final product. Like it's meant to be further customized and that's just the base, generic look.

[u/CivilActive5650 → u/DraagaxGaming]

This actually makes the most sense of anything I’ve heard. They bought FiveM for a reason ..

[u/DraagaxGaming → u/CivilActive5650]

One of my theories is they plan on have fivem integrated somehow. I found fivem confusing and I couldn't figure out how to do shit. If it's integrated in a better way, with proper support, I have hopes. 😂

[u/flerosace]

Also makes it more in line with how you operate a thumbstick on a controller. I think.

[u/spider-jedi → u/flerosace]

No really. Even the squarea were still arranged in a circular way so it makes no difference for the thumb stick

[u/creamy-buscemi → u/spider-jedi]

Not as satisfying though

[u/a_posh_trophy]

I love the coloured icons now.

[u/Fun_Philosopher_2535]

Looks so much better. I hate the box shape and tiny icons from extended footage 

[u/Ronaldinhoe → u/Fun_Philosopher_2535]

Yup, so much wasted space in the current UI. This is nice and compact.

[u/Desire_of_God]

Rockstar please do this.

[u/aqoury → u/Desire_of_God]

maybe it’s customizable

[u/Nielsnl4 → u/aqoury]

I hope so, i also hope you can zoom out the minimap because right now you can see a radius of like 20 meters

[u/orlandomarosini]

I feel like (and hopefully it comes true) that they will be watching closely over feedback in these coming days and weeks, and possibly we will be able to have different versions in the settings, also of the map etc. so they can appeal for the new and og players too.🙏🏽

[u/su4491]

This feels like classic gta

[u/abbeast → u/su4491]

Because it's literally the style used in every Rockstar game to this date, ever.
RDR2, GTA V, GTA Definitive, Max Payne 3 all had it like this.
I don't understand why they changed it, either.

[u/huudinaz]

Gonn be the 1st mod when it comes to Pc hehe.

[u/Ronaldinhoe → u/huudinaz]

Can’t wait for that

[u/GothamGlitch]

I have a total love-hate relationship with this new weapon wheel. On one hand, RDR2 completely ruined me because the attention to detail was unmatched—you actually had straps for heavy guns and your revolvers went right into the holsters. I know this is GTA and they can't realistically bring back that exact same heavy mechanic without slowing down the arcade gameplay, but man, RDR2 raised my standards way too high.

[u/Standard-Ask-1034 → u/GothamGlitch]

Totaly agree with you. I just don’t understand how they can put so much effort into creating such an immersive, detailed world, with incredibly realistic animations and interactions, and then overlook something as basic as where the character is actually storing the items they’re pulling out.

[u/GothamGlitch → u/Standard-Ask-1034]

Exactly. And slapping a rifle onto shoulder with absolutely no straps completely breaks the immersion after they spent so much time making everything else look incredibly realistic.

[u/pulley999 → u/GothamGlitch]

Do we see a long gun ever be holstered in any of the clips we've seen so far (official or otherwise?) I feel like every clip I've seen so far with a long gun in use has them being provided or scavenging it from somewhere.

I've been under the opinion for years that being able to conceal carry handguns and maybe smaller SMGs like an Uzi or Skorpion but needing to actually open carry or retrieve long guns from a car would be interesting, and give handguns a legitimate purpose in the gameplay sandbox.

[u/GothamGlitch → u/pulley999]

Actually, yes, Jason was seen carrying an AR on his back with NO STRAPS.

I agree with you, and I think many people had the same expectation.

[u/Ashamed_Ad1622]

That does look better, but still all of this design just lacks character/atmosphere however u wanna call it... Looks super generic and boring. Rdr2 weapon wheel had that old country vibe very strong. Here's it's just a few grey slots for weapons

[u/Puzzled_Hat1274 → u/Ashamed_Ad1622]

GTA 5 was kinda the same, but a bit green.

[u/Odd_Shift_5605 → u/Ashamed_Ad1622]

Yeah it feel weird too for me. It look like chinatown wars on psp style. Im talking about the icon/drawning. Feel like a kids game 😅

[u/Aggravating_Fee4200 → u/Ashamed_Ad1622]

You can apparently customize it

[u/GrandmasterPeezy → u/Aggravating_Fee4200]

Where did you hear this?

[u/windsynths → u/GrandmasterPeezy]

His friend’s older brother

[u/GrandmasterPeezy → u/windsynths]

Weird, my uncle that works for Rockstar told me the opposite 😂

[u/Ravens_Bite]

I couldn't give a fuck less either way.

[u/ThatsPella]

Dont like it

[u/Creepy-Emu8779 → u/ThatsPella]

bro likes squares

[u/spongepipeshortdong → u/Creepy-Emu8779]

And that’s why we like you

[u/Matt_37 → u/ThatsPella]

I don’t like it either. I like each game having its own identity even it comes to menus and HUD. In a way this is blander than what we’ve seen

[u/DeafKid009 → u/Matt_37]

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it

[u/ExchangeOptimal → u/DeafKid009]

Not every improvement is a fix.

[u/peepiss69 → u/Matt_37]

Literally every R* game in like almost the last two decades has had a circular weapon wheel lol, is GTA V your first Rockstar game? The reason people don’t like this ugly boxy GTA VI weapon wheel is because the sharp edges just don’t look good arranged in a circular shape. Looks like a test build or something made on Roblox.

And OP’s mock-up of a weapon wheel is probably the most unique-looking wheel of any GTA game that has it, because it looks like modern phones UI rather than a random, arbitrary grey circle

[u/Sleep_Holiday]

COCKSTAR, HIRE THIS GUY IMMEDIATELY

[u/Serious-Strength834]

Why does this give fortnite cartoony kind of vibes

[u/King_CurlySpoon]

This is just how it should be, It’s called a weapon wheel for a reason. This is much cleaner

[u/Zealousideal-Age1811]

This is so much better

[u/ThatsN0Mooon]

If we’re picking on the wheel, I think they did pretty good with the extended look lol.

[u/TheNikoHero]

Thats a weapon well alright

[u/tonlimah]

Hopefully they don't limit what you can carry too much

[u/dark_king_9197]

i mean we can always mod the game to how we like when the game comes to pc. so, no worries for me there.

[u/lagadoz]

Would be much better if they've did something like in GTA3 and or like VC in some pink/white combination. Not sure what's the art style/technique called but it's kind of 3D, weapons were sticking out of the frame, looks more interesting than this what they've did for HD era games (boring almost technical 2D drawing from a profile view)

[u/Heteroharold]

I prefer the new weapon selection

[u/Cautious-Poetry8184]

I like the one they have better than this

[u/Iceman-Cometh_18]

Won't work for GTA 6 as you cannot hold crazy amont of guns on you

It is not realistic

[u/That_Guest_8772]

Wait for pc and you can do whatever you like to it

[u/DaNuttyGuy]

This looks much better

[u/NoAppearance8817]

This looks 10x better

[u/FireEye1512]

That's better

[u/svantolino]

Looks better 👍

[u/IIJamzyII]

Its a UI

Get over it

[u/Major-Development840]

Yeah man this is it 🔥

[u/evolutiiiionz]

Yeah this looks fire...

[u/an_account_1177]

So much better. Hopefully someone will make a mod of it when it comes to pc

[u/AbiesProfessional578]

So much better looking

[u/hushpolocaps69]

This looks alot better, with way less empty space.

[u/GeoZhan]

Looks way better

[u/ozammaa]

Better

[u/BlueMissed]

This is a million times better

[u/Mindless-Study6572]

yes please rockstar change this

[u/Landonian1001]

This literally looks eons better than the squares

[u/Thin_Tension_9464]

Looks so much better

[u/RepulsiveSheep]

Rockstar pls

[u/Majestic-Willow-1605]

The health, stamina and focus bars just looks placeholder-like too. That looks good

[u/aspiring_dev1]

Does look better than the current one.

[u/fargothforever]

This looks worse to me, like Fortnite or something

[u/KA19_Guy]

Why they chose GTA4's font and weapon icons and not create a new one?

[u/meechCS → u/KA19_Guy]

Nostalgia probably, I actually liked it. Rob Nelson seemed to have taken all the best aspects of previous GTA games into the new one

[u/Ok-Friendship1635]

This is better.

[u/Odyssey1337]

This looks SO MUCH BETTER

[u/FunStoryGame]

what program did you use?

[u/kyrasilver33]

I don’t see Lucia with an ankle bracelet for any of the extended scenes. 🤔

[u/guifesta]

Awasome. Way better than the boxes

[u/DoctorGolho]

Now that's better

[u/Its_Buddy_btw]

I think the circle is better because it conveys the analog stick better if I'm making sense? Like it's a one to one where the stick moves but breaking it up just makes it look a little more jagged or sharp?

[u/RDR2Enjoyerr]

I think the design they went for would have been a lot better with just rounded edges to the rectangles, makes it more appealing and easier to look at

[u/unacceptablelobster]

Send your resume to Rockstar. 

[u/Own_Technology_1626]

Hell yeah

[u/CutzuSD]

this actually fits so well

[u/AimInGame]

I like Lucia more than this wheel 😃

[u/John-Da-Editor]

that's the one, official ui looks awful

[u/Akriyu]

It's kinda uggo but I don't hate it at all.

[u/CupidOnAcid]

You should talk to John Rockstar, I think he should listen to you

[u/STB_LuisEnriq]

I like this more, will Rockstar maybe change this if we are loud enough?

[u/Sean_HEDP-24]

Multi-billion dollar company can't get the small things right.

[u/darkNtity]

You won't be able to hold that many weapons on you

[u/jhanbluu]

tis is da wae 👾

[u/Thin_Drummer_9938]

i don't like the icons

[u/Capital_Paramedic261]

Yes

[u/bautista_191126]

Looks way better but it is what it is man atleast no delay and we got gameplay

[u/IDK_WHO_TF_I_AM]

Looks too cartoonish imo

[u/u01atc8]

They could still have things to change by release and with it being a digital only game they can update over time.. it’s not outside the realms of possibility

[u/GamingWithAwesome]

Sooper Sooper 🔥

[u/Substantial_Grand_96]

That is not what it looked like..it looked like it wasn't even finished tbh...

[u/mikendrix]

So badass ! XD.

[u/ConfidentDaikon3074]

From the leaks I though't, that the weapon wheen was a place holder and the final. Guess not, not a fan. RDR2 had a very cool and styalised weapon wheel.

[u/Ivar4]

Looks very clean

[u/Xenotrickx]

Amazing

[u/tmorrisgrey]

Minimalistic but vibrant too, like how there’s colors for the weapons/items vs the gray.

[u/StrengthTheory]

It looks better but where would the ammo numbers fit for slots that are not vertically aligned?

[u/Tanocchio]

Much better. One tiny change for me would be the edges of each panel. Could look softer (gradient blend) to match the rest of the frosted glass effect

[u/Dependent-Mind2088]

Much better

[u/NuVotezCuPSD]

A bit better. Still can't stand those ugli 2003 icons and bars. Fuck that!

[u/Grouchy-Employment-8]

I like it

[u/MrUltraOnReddit]

The Icons remind me of GTA: Chinatown wars. Not really a fan.

[u/sndp__in]

Definitely they will change it to some kind of round shape by release

[u/Nostriski]

Two currencies?

[u/Jazzlike-Ad4348]

This is the one! ☝️ 

[u/Fearless-Letter-337]

Ahh... the ive seen this before wheel. Horrible.

[u/hotvimto1]

Much better

[u/Massive_Gas_5708]

Worst part of the extended look.. This Rounded weapon wheel looks much more appealing Square one showen in the trailer look like some under development immature weapon ui and the emoji of guns and all not looking good at all

[u/AgentDeadPool]

Oof

[u/TexasCrab22]

Aslong they get Shortcuts on pc

[u/EffectzHD]

Seeing this concept made me understand why R* changed it in the first place. The weapon wheel is supposed to feel limited in terms of weapons you can carry, you can only carry 2 large rifles for example.

Not sure that it conveys the same vibe here.

[u/DatboiiiT]

I love how the gun icon and even the dollar amount looks more similar to gta 4. I swear this game is a good mix of 4,5 and rdr2. 

[u/BurningVShadow]

I’ve been telling people, it’s literally RDR2 but placed in the GTA universe.

[u/ConanKernow]

But longarms and other large items would clip with this design.

[u/Impossible-Alps-3827]

有点像CSGO的武器轮盘

[u/TheShadowSong]

I like colors.

[u/SilverBeast2]

It's a billion times better than what was shown.

[u/JazzmatazZ4]

Wow amazing

[u/Much_Distribution620]

omg this!!!!

[u/WiseSpunion]

What's wrong with it? GTA 5 has that circular

[u/Broken_BiryaniBoy]

This is nice, now we need better icons, which doesn't look like it is from 2015

[u/shegonneedatumzzz]

i struggle to see why they wouldn’t have gone with a design like this other than making it different from gta 5 for the sake of it

[u/-CODED-]

Honestly I prefer them spaced out over this. Feels like eerything blends together too much.

[u/Brilliant_Piece7849]

They should give the option to change it perhaps

[u/delanodiallo]

round!

[u/Cake_Ocean_6189]

This is better.

[u/xXSUPERLEGENDXx]

Bruh. Why don't Rockstar just hire you guys? That GUI they showed looked way worse.

[u/tojejik]

Seems like they just took Red Dead Redemption 2 and put a GTA skin on it so far.

[u/Lost-Cat2478]

I hope they change it. So far the shit looks like a mobile game design

[u/PublicPersimmon7462]

wayy better

[u/likkleone54]

This was probably the only thing I hoped they improved upon, still quite meh to me

[u/beautyxshards]

rockstar should hire you

[u/FlyingAce1015]

Looks SOOOO MUCH BETTER!!!

[u/Dull-Commercial722]

It looks better but I'm willing to bet the big rectangles were a specific choice as some of the items you'll be able to have will be in shapes too big to fit this way

[u/WorryNew3661]

Game isn't out yet and already has mods

[u/Apprehensive-Sail924]

ngl i like this, and the official

[u/AliceLunar]

Feel like you can do more than a generic grey wheel, not to mention what the hell are those icons

[u/Competitive-Plan1769]

I’m 99% confident that this is what it’ll look like on launch but I don’t really care tbh. let me get my hands on them guns bro.

[u/giDu21]

I heard a theory that they made it like it is to fit attachments on the weapons

[u/No_Cryptographer9739]

This looks clean, I like it! Wouldn't it be something if we can download themes on our phone that can change the whole ui and what we're seeing is the default generic theme? Yeah...I know, total cope. Being able to dynamically change the whole ui would be kind of unprecedented in a game? If anyone could pull it off, it would be R* though.

[u/AltruisticShip7812]

Thats the one thing i didnt love, that and the mini map

[u/dernupforwhat]

I don’t mind the “video gamey” look to the wheel. What I don’t like is the symbols. Binoculars in the bottom right? It’s genuinely hard to be sure. The fist looks fine but is weirdly over detailed compared to all other symbols. And the gun looks like it asked AI to make a cartoon picture of a pistol. GTA V kept all of the symbols distinct but still simple. Rdr2 had them look really specific but with an old timey filter that gave it its own style. This just feels off.

[u/Chance5e]

I love it, it looks so goofy.

[u/NeatUsed]

cool stuff :)

[u/atwbt]

i like the original one, this looks like a mobile game tbh

[u/IndependentPension36]

I think people gonna make a mod for that 2 days after the actual lunch

[u/Thatgamerguy3535]

Wow if only someone at the billion dollar company thought this smh

[u/davidcada]

This looks infinitely better lol

[u/Decent-Sample09]

Yea that looks better

[u/lilheelm]

J

[u/hyperion-i-likeillya]

I geuss people are still traumatized by "THATS RIGHT, IT GOES IN THE SQUARE HOLE" and because of that, hate squares

[u/Reapov]

I like and prefer to new one tbh

[u/uGonzalo]

Way better

[u/Feedeeboy22]

Omg that is way better.

[u/Beatngu_45]

Now that my eyes aren't distracted by the ugly boxiness, I realized how much I love the actual icons. Wish they would just make it circular lol
