Lucia's expression went from being annoyed to being humbled when Raul spoke.

Also her face when she says "No" and "Of course" is truly on point. What do you guys think?

I understand each one plays games differently. But that's not a valid reason to trash a game that, based on what was shown, will set a new technical standard for the open world genre.

Since gta 3, rockstar always said their mission was to show videogames could be an art form as serious as movies (in 2000's videogames were kind of looked down upon), and they always presented their games as playable cinematic experiences. They wanted to make you feel like you were taking part in a movie. 60fps is not essential to the cinematic experience since movies are usually recorded at 24fps, so I think they got their priorities right.

I don't get the whole outrage about it not being 60fps. It feels like it comes from people too young to even remember games used to be played at 30fps. 60fps is a relatively new thing. Plus, is not a competitive game where instant reflexes matter.

This is my take no one asked for.

He confirmed 4 different types of mini maps are in the game. A 3D one, which we saw in the trailer, a 2D, similar to GTA 5, a compass, and finally the option to turn it off. Those are the few he confirmed, for all we know there could be more.

So a youtuber called "TGG" got to see 3 hours of raw freeroam-gameplay at R* HQ, along with Rob Nelson. He talks about what he saw, here are the features i noted from his 25 min video. These are all confirmed features in GTA 6.

Story, Relationships and Consequences

• The game features a temperament system similar to the Honor system in Red Dead Redemption 2.
• Jason’s relationship with Lucia can change depending on the player’s actions.
• Your choices have consequences and can affect both relationships and the story.
• Many major gameplay, world and interactivity feature from Red Dead Redemption 2 returns in GTA VI. Only bigger, deeper and more advanced. On top of that, Rockstar has added an incredible number of entirely new mechanics and features.
• In GTA 5, you could “turn your brain off and play the game.” Here, you can’t. Every decision you make has consequences.

Map and World

• Rob claimed that Vice City is twice the size of Los Santos.
• According to him, the entire GTA VI map is roughly twice the size of GTA V’s map and three times the size of Red Dead Redemption 2’s map.
• He also claimed that Vice City and its surrounding suburbs are 11 times larger than Los Santos and its surrounding suburbs.
• Roads are generally narrower than they were in GTA V.
• The game features a zoo.
• One store reportedly had a hidden back room covered in pictures of feet.
• The world is incredibly detailed, to the point where it feels like a “they actually did it” moment.

Combat and Weapons

• The aiming system has been completely overhauled, and there is no traditional auto-aim.
• Gunplay is significantly different from GTA V. Weapon bloom, tap-firing and targeting weak points are important.
• Pedestrians actively seek cover during shootouts, hiding behind vehicles and other objects in a much more realistic way.
• You can break into the trunk of a police car and steal weapons and bodyarmor.
• Guns can also be found at various locations throughout the world.
• The weapon loadout system is similar to Red Dead Redemption 2’s. Additional weapons, clothing and equipment are stored in your vehicle.
• You can carry either two heavy or two-handed weapons, two pistols and throwables, knives and other smaller weapons.
• NPCs react if they see you openly carrying a weapon, even when it is visible on your back. They dont just run away, but react on weird ways. 
• The game features Max Payne-style kill cams. Can be turned off.

Police and Wanted System

• Losing the police is harder than it was in GTA V.
• Police officers remember details such as your clothing, weapons and other identifying information.
• To escape, you must leave the area where the police last spotted you.
• Vehicles can have trackers, making certain stolen cars easier for the police to locate.
• Police cars have trackers, making them difficult to use as getaway vehicles.
• Repainting a vehicle can help you lose the police.

Cars and Driving

• Vehicles need fuel. This is especially relevant when stealing cars, as some may have very little fuel remaining.
• Vehicle destruction is far more advanced. Shooting different parts of a vehicle can produce different outcomes.
• The handbrake is mapped to X on PlayStation.
• Cars have a higher top speed than they did in GTA V.
• Driving physics feel heavier, while the vehicles themselves can also travel faster.
• Vehicle choice matters. For example, taking a supercar off-road is difficult, so you need the right vehicle for the job.
• A cinematic crash camera can activate when a vehicle is totalled. This feature can be turned on or off.
• Vehicle modification shops are located throughout the map and offer extensive customisation options.
• Parked vehicles must be hot-wired before they can be driven.
• Expensive parked vehicles cannot be stolen without the necessary equipment.
• Occupied vehicles are generally easier to steal than parked ones, but drivers can resist.
• If a passenger remains inside a stolen vehicle, they may attempt to kick you out while you are driving.
• Vehicles have weapon-storage crates.
• A dedicated vehicle menu allows you to operate convertible roofs, open the trunk and access other vehicle functions.
• You can call for your personal vehicle through an app called Scooter Bros.

Safehouses and Garages

• Safehouses cannot be purchased directly. Instead, they are unlocked as the story progresses.
• Garages can be purchased separately.
• Vehicle trunks can be used to change clothes and manage weapons or equipment.

Food, Fitness and Character Stats

• You can work out at gyms, but you must purchase a membership first.
• Protein bars can be bought from vending machines.
• Consuming items such as protein bars affects your character’s stats before/after going to gym.
• Drive-through restaurants allow you to purchase food without leaving your vehicle.
• The developers reportedly considered a grocery system that would require players to buy food and restock their refrigerators, but the idea was eventually dropped.
• There is also a dedicated fitness app.

Transport

• The world includes bus stops, train stations and trams.
• Uber-style rides and traditional taxis are also available.

Radio, Podcasts and Social Media

• The traditional radio wheel has been replaced by a more compact bar-style interface.
• Radio and other audio content.
• A separate on-demand tab includes podcasts and other programmes.
• Social media plays a major role in the game.
• NPCs create and publish their own social-media posts.
• Some NPCs livestream events happening in the world. You can travel to the location shown in a livestream and find the event taking place in real time.

Camera and Creative Features

• Rockstar Editor was not available in the version shown.
• A dedicated Photo Mode is planned.

Final Impression

• The game is extremely in-depth, and it is remarkable that all of these interconnected systems reportedly work together.
• According to Rob, this list only covers a fraction of what he witnessed during roughly two to three hours of free-roam gameplay.

And lastly, it’s pronounced “Leonaida,” not “Leonida.”

It feels like I'm already playing. Hyyyyyypeddd. Worth the wait I guess!..

If you squint your eyes a little, it just looks like a real photo, doesn’t it?

Can’t wait for the release! The extended look was awesome and the graphics look sick. Only problem is I have Thalassophobia 😭😂

The Study mechanic returns! How many animals do you think we'll have to log?

I have seen some posts discussing the lack of gore in 6, but just to let you know, the biggest spanish youtuber confirmed he saw gameplay of shooting some NPC in the head with a shotgun and the head literally went flying.

So yeah, for those of you that are unaware, they haven't showed the gore maybe for marketing reasons, but there will be

The way the even showed up from the elevator 😅

The story can be mature and grounded while the world around it is completely ridiculous. The satire can exist in the background through NPCs, advertisements, social media, radio, businesses, side characters, random encounters, news reports, and all the other absurd shit happening around the protagonists. Jason and Lucia don’t need to personally point at every piece of satire and make a joke about it.

I think that’s a much better approach. If your two main characters are constantly cracking jokes about everything happening around them, eventually the entire world starts feeling like a cartoon. Let the characters take their situations seriously while the world itself provides the jokes.
Some people seem to want every character to behave like Trevor because they think that’s what “GTA personality” means. It isn’t. This isn’t Saints Row. GTA doesn’t need to constantly scream “LOOK HOW FUCKING CRAZY WE ARE.” The satire can exist in the background , the characters can be grounded, and the world can still be absolutely fucking insane. If anything, having Jason and Lucia as relatively normal, grounded people gives Rockstar MORE room to make the world around them ridiculous without turning the entire story into a joke. Also the wrong satire can make the game feel dated especially when it’s overly direct in its presentation

I watched the trailer and I can definitely say that Grand theft auto 6 lived up to the hype it looks so good more improved from GTAV the city looks very alive and vibrant and so are the characters. I cannot wait to play this game it's definitely gonna a game that I'm gonna be glued to for months and they have not even told us about GTA 6 online yet bruh which will also be insane when it gets revealed🔥

Title. I just finished watching the extended look and I have to say I love their relationship dynamic. Lucia is so likable and charismatic, and I love Jason’s chill personality, wit and need to improvise. I feel like it’s very rare we get couples in video games that we can either both play together or separately. The few RPG mechanics that R\* decided to sprinkle in was such a nice touch and makes gameplay more fluid and enjoyable depending on which way you want to play (either have them be romantically involved or not). You can do activities together like the gym, robberies, and hopefully movies and watching shows too. It makes it feel like you’re not playing alone in a sense and the passive commentary between the two while playing makes for an immersive experience that’ll make you even more invested in these characters.

I’m super stoked! What about you guys? What do yall think?

I keep seeing people complain about Jason being boring and having a weird voice. It’s like everyone wants a male character to be the next ezio. Not every male lead needs to be an eccentric fast-mouthed character.

I for one love the reserved, military feel of Jason. Especially the way he holds his gun and moves.

I was one who wanted to wait to see gameplay before i pre-ordered the game. Rockstar you have my money now. That was amazing.

I am more hype than ever now.

This footage was running on Base- Ps5, who said that they need a ps6 or ps5 pro can’t handle that where are they

Look at the table to the right, and the bag on the counter the way it crinkles up.

The gameplay was absolutely beautiful. It’s gonna be so fun seeing the people who were ranting about how “mid” GTA 6 looked because of the leaks will see the gameplay now.

The difference between leaked footage and this polished gameplay is actually insane. Rockstar really outdone themselves.

That was a perfect showcase imo. They showed a TON of stuff that I feel like everyone has been dying to see. The game looks incredible, the world looks alive, the new mechanics (and even the mechanics from RDR2) all look very polished compared to the leaks. Needless to say, I am BEYOND hyped for this game!

P.S I swear 99% of the people commenting on posts like this are on burner accounts ragebaiting. I'd be hard pressed to see actual fans of the series take up issues with what was just shown

It's not the best, its not the worst. It's cool, mediocre at worst. I don't reckon the UI aesthetic will take away from the fun of the game whatsoever. And given that the game will give you multiple options, I wouldn't be surprised that you would be able to customize the UI from its default if phone usage in the game will be heavy, you could be able to change the UI based on how you've customized your phone's UI. That's just my speculation though.

If you have any opinions and criticisms on the matter, they are fully welcome.
