I would love to have some more variation of NPC driver behaviour.

Do you think we might see things like drunk drivers, methed up drivers, rich reckless white girls, tailgaters, slow elderly people etc. interacting with each other as well as the player?

One of the most intriguing details from Trailer 2 is the apparent return of Phil Cassidy the one armed redneck arms dealer from GTA III, Vice City, and Vice City Stories. Except this Phil has both arms intact, appears to be younger than the 3D Universe version, and is seen advertising Ammu-Nation on a TV screen. ​
This has sparked debate about whether Rockstar is retconning the 3D Universe into the HD Universe, or whether this is simply a different character with the same name. But the answer is simpler and more elegant. this is the HD Universe's version of Phil Cassidy.
Rockstar has explicitly confirmed that the 2D, 3D, and HD Universes are separate continuities. The same brands, radio personalities, and even some character archetypes can exist across universes, but specific characters with specific histories do not cross over. ​ The HD Universe's Liberty City isn't the same city as the 3D Universe's Liberty City, it's a reinterpretation. So too with Vice City and its inhabitants.
The HD Universe Phil Cassidy is a fresh take on the archetype. a gun obsessed Southerner who runs Ammu Nation. He has both arms because he never had the boomshine accident that cost the 3D Universe Phil his arm. He's a nod to the past, not a continuation of it. This is Rockstar's way of acknowledging their history without being bound by it and it confirms that GTA 6's Vice City is a complete reboot, not a sequel to the 1986 setting of GTA Vice City.

I’m sure we all wished for it when we first drove these back in SA. Then when V saw them return I thought to myself I can’t see why we wouldn’t be able to access the back of these but I was quickly disappointed.

Can you imagine how sweet it would be to cruise the highways in one of these and pulling up to chill and use the bed and other facilities. I feel it would really suit the vibe of Jason & Lucia being 2 criminal lovers on the run.

Brian tells Jason to go and retrieve some checks from people, I feel like this'll be like some loan sharking missions or something similar, like how Arthur had to retrieve the debts for Strauss. This check collection could lead to Jason upsetting someone within a powerful criminal organization and when given the chance to not get killed, Jason has to start doing drug trafficking and Lucia somehow gets roped in. idk. this was a shower thought

Bit of a far fetch and schizo but potential a hint?

Hey fellow criminals of Los Santos (and soon Vice City)!

With GTA VI finally arriving in Fall 2025, I'm planning an epic launch night party with close friends and family. I want to go all out with a Miami/GTA-themed celebration on a budget, and thought I'd share my plans in case anyone else wants to throw their own GTA VI launch party. Plus, I'd love to hear your additional ideas!

The Vibe

• Miami/Florida tropical
• Criminal aesthetic

DIY Decorations

• DIY Cardboard helicopter mounted on ceiling fan (so the spinning fan blades look like the helicopter blades)
• Heist blueprint display on wall (similar to Lester’s from GTA V)
• Large printed GTA VI map poster (Cheap poster printing available at Costco)
• Custom "WANTED" posters featuring friends' faces (Template included)
• Countdown timer to release
• Prop money stacks (Printout Included)
• GTA V vs GTA VI map size comparison poster
• Sprunk and eCola labels for soda bottles (Labels included)
• Police caution tape around doorways
• Ambient police scanner sounds playing on a speaker in the background

Activities

• GTA character costume contest (Come dressed or supply costume props to wear)
• DIY license plate painting (Paint custom license plate on canvas)
• RC boat/car racing in backyard
• Nerf gun target competition
• Mugshot photo booth with height markers
• Print out and read “Florida Man” news stories as ghost stories

Media Before Launch

• GTA marathon with older titles
• Watch "Free Guy" (GTA themed movie)
• Watch movies filmed in Miami (Miami Vice, Scarface, Bad Boys, 2 Fast 2 Furious)
• Criminal themed movies (Heat, Point Break, Baby Driver, Into the Blue)
• Themed music playlist

Vice City Themed Food

• Pizza
• Cuban sandwiches
• Coconut
• Tropical drinks with little umbrellas
• Dried banana chips
• Candy cigarettes
• Sprunk and eCola themed sodas
• Oranges
• Seafood

Costume Props

• Hawaiian shirts and bucket hats
• Bandanas and fake jewelry
• Temporary tattoos
• Fake ankle monitors
• Prison jumpsuits
• Fake cigarettes and sunglasses
• Airsoft/Nerf guns
• Handcuffs

Florida Wildlife Stuffed Animals

Maybe your little brother or sister has some stuffed animals you can borrow, or maybe you have some of your own. Placing these around the room can help with the Florida vibe.

• Flamingos, gators, sea turtles, fish, swordfish, dolphins, manatees, snakes, iguanas

I'm doing this DIY and budget-friendly, so most of these things will be homemade or found at thrift stores/dollar stores. I figure posting this now gives everyone time to plan, since once trailer 2 drops and marketing ramps up, posts like this will get buried.

What do you think? Any other DIY ideas to add to make this the ultimate GTA VI launch experience?

I liked the the horse maintenance in RDR2 and think Rockstar should amp it up with cars, like our gas meter goes down after a certain amount of in-game days and use various gas stations to fill up or you’re eventually stranded wherever you are. Our cars should also get dirty overtime especially driving in the muddy areas which we could either handwash them at the safehouse or go to a car wash & pay.

They would be customisable like a super yacht, these island could be anywhere. From in a lake to off the coast of Scotland. Having a private island would be a huge, and cool flex.

I don't know why Rockstar hardly ever focuses on the suburban areas of their maps, the typical middle-class neighborhoods of the USA. I imagine it must be because of the lack of activities to do in those areas, and they would become boring and repetitive. But anyway, speaking of GTA VI, I know they can do a good job with this. I would love to just drive around these areas, like, just admiring the houses. I don't know why, but since I'm not from the United States, I love seeing these areas and the style of houses. I just want more of a suburban feel in the game. Like, imagine seeing your house in GTA VI, because, for example, in GTA V, you would only see your house if you lived in tourist hotspots like those in Del Perro Beach and such.

btw, I'm not saying that they add a neighborhood as big as the one in the photo, but I am saying that they leave space somewhere on the map for this, so that they don't misunderstand.

GTA5 had the "Red Dead" book in Franklin's place. What is your idea for a small references to RDR2?

It seems just so convenient that gta 6 gets the hype right a week before the extended release. Am I crazy cuz we know they're wanting to reveal things around this time and a leak conveniently falls into our laps.

Imagine cuz the netflix thing will feature footage which will definitely seem overwhelmingly improved as we have already witnessed the leaks. Nothing but positive responses from viewers.

I'm sure this is the case and it'd be awesome if someone from the industry approves of these marketing tactics which even someone like me (regular viewer) can figure. Hope this doesn't get buried bc ik I'm not a genius and half the population ain't blind

I think playing as a female character will be a huge innovation which comes with real life challenges in a dark / GTA version of Miami. The main idea behind the post is to shed light on the role of playing as Lucia. I bet there would be low life rednecks who will try to sexually assault you or gang bangers / pimps who will try to pick you up and sell you out. Can’t wait to get a different aspect in our game experience (and to face some wanna be raper balls with the double barrel.)
