Also sounds like the nature of your relationship between the two characters is entirely up to you and can range anywhere from full on romantic, as we all initially just assumed it would be, to just friendly partners depending on how you play the game/choices made

Sounds like the length of just the main story is supposed to be around 80 hrs which is insane if true

Agreed.

Noticed the red dead 2 secondary clothing wheel to throw a mask on for robberies as well.


Yep, saw that too. I honestly never used this mechanic in RDR 2 but maybe it will be necessary with the way it's rumored the star levels will work in this game.

I did notice the 4 star level went to black once they ditched the car (and their car symbol disappeared).

So maybe ditching the car gets rid of the current active pursuit but you still have to change your clothes and appearance to get totally "clean". IE you're still "wanted" based on your appearance and clothing.

The ability to decide if you use a slim-jim or break the glass of a vehicle seems like a good change.

Didn't seem to be a whole lot of gameplay shown really. Looks good though.

I've been honest about this game throughout the entire thread. That hasn't changed.

That seems like it would be very annoying.

I liked what I saw so far. Have about 10 minutes left to watch. I can already tell though I’m going to get annoyed with Lucia so I’ll play with Jason most of the time. I’m sorry but that small girl isn’t kicking 3 dudes asses that are bigger than her

I hope I’m wrong but I’d be willing to bet you have to kill one of them at the end of the story. If Lucia lives, she will be sad but will move on and have a “happy” prologue. If Jason lives his will probably be depressing as shite because he only thinks about Lucia so it will be the “bad” ending.

I haven't had time to check out the Netflix content. Did they show this car chase? It looks awesome. I can see why Cyberleek all of a sudden disappeared

Yeah I'm really not seeing the appeal of that character. I can't imagine trying to keep up a "relationship" with her. Screw that.

Yes, that's the car chase where the wanted level didn't decrease when they changed vehicles. I guess I forgot about them having their masks on during the chase. That probably answers my question on if using the masks also helps with losing the star level.

They didn't really show anything more than he did, other than some story stuff. I can see why they're so actively hunting him down.

quote:

- Rockstar says the scale of the game is unlike anything they have made before.

- The map is twice as big as GTA 5's and three times bigger than Red Dead 2's map

- GTA 6 does away entirely with the auto-aim system, now using a manual aiming system with aim-assist

- Vice City itself is reportedly twice the size of Los Santos.

- The biggest difference compared with GTA 5 is that GTA 6 constantly forces the player to make decisions and consider consequences rather than simply causing chaos without much thought.

- Actions apparently carry significantly more consequences than they did in previous GTA games.

- Rob Nelson reportedly explained that even something as basic as stealing a vehicle now involves assessing risk: carjacking someone may lead to witnesses/police trouble, while stealing an unattended parked vehicle might let you escape cleanly.

- Rockstar's intention appears to be to make the player think more like an actual criminal, rather than treating crime as consequence-free sandbox chaos.

- Criminal Profile system, NOT honor: Rockstar reportedly stresses that having a low Criminal Profile does not necessarily mean you're playing incorrectly.
Instead, the system seems to evaluate how you behave as a criminal.

- Robbing a store successfully without killing anybody and escaping cleanly can raises your Criminal Profile because you committed the crime professionally. while excessive violence lowers it.

- There apparently isn't a traditional Criminal Profile meter constantly displayed on-screen. Instead, Jason and Lucia have profile information accessible through a dedicated menu tab.

- Your criminal profile can be permanently ruined after specific actions

- Jason & Lucia have a relationship bar that can be influenced by how they treat each other through your own actions, like texting each other things or going out on dates

Focus

- Focus ability which we saw in the gameplay preview is the third major stat, similar to deadeye, it slows down time for both Jason and Lucia plus highlights valuable components of vehicles and enemy weak points
Focus is GTA 6's third major character ability/stat.
It is somewhat similar to Dead Eye and Michael's GTA V special ability, but reportedly works differently.

- Cars do require fuel, and electric cars require charging. Rockstar designed these to not be tedious

- Cash you are carrying can be lost after being arrested or dying and has to be stashed or put into an ATM, you cannot just use the phone for this.

- Fences can be visited to sell off loot from robberies, similar to Red Dead 2's fences

- Driving is reportedly heavier and less arcade-like than GTA V, feeling more like a mid-point between GTA 4 and 5

- Police no longer appear directly on the minimap and you have to use your own eyes to avoid them

- At six stars, police search across the entire map for you rather than designated search areas

- Police are reportedly considerably smarter than GTA V, Officers can intentionally shoot your vehicle's tires.

- Police can remember your appearance, car and clothes. You may have to change these in order to lose your wanted level.

- There are trackers on vehicles that need to be removed through progression with fences, or use older cars that don't have trackers

- GTA 6 reportedly contains a full in-game social media system and NPCs post content to the social network, it is part of the living world and you can see events on there then go and visit them in person

- Gyms are back from GTA San Andreas, you now have to purchase a subscription and can train for muscles. you can even buy protein shakes to boost that before workouts

- Buses and Taxis can be used for fast travel

Thats probably gonna be a part of it. Maybe why they showed her working arms and chest on bench so shes stronger for fights.

Maybe shes better at driving ala Franklin and Jason has Michael's slow time for gunplay. Feel like they showed his slow down and it put the target areas on the enemy as red during the high rise shootout.

quote:

During an interview with IGN, Rob Nelson, the head of development and co-studio head at Rockstar North, explained the design decisions behind making Jason and Lucia's relationship key to the story but not to the gameplay mechanics.

"I have to say it feels great — if you are into it as a concept. Don’t bother with it if you aren’t. Up to you," said Nelson. Jason and Lucia will always have each other's backs in the story and during the action, but spending quality time together and nurturing the relationship? That's up to the player, and you won't be penalized if you're not interested in the sappy stuff.

"The narrative is structured in such a way that the circumstances they find themselves in require them to stay together for most of the story and work together. At the very least they will get through most things as partners in crime," explained Nelson.

Ah yes. I must hate women for pointing out that it’s unrealistic for a woman to kick 3 dudes asses that are bigger than her. Big ol woman hater

I bet you’re going to sky scream and call anyone that does something to the pride parade in the game a bigot too

That and your whole I bet Lucia won't even give a frick if Jason dies take. That last paragraph sounded like some Incel shite. Just making stuff up to get angry at

Sky scream? What is this 2016? You're the only one whining here and pride parades aren't actually in the game that was just engament bait. Nice job falling for it

So basically your decisions and actions don’t matter. Good job falling short on that promise and presenting it as a good thing Rockstar

You can stop yourself from bleeding out by eating some snacks but god forbid a woman catch hands with a few guys.

Curious about the fps we'll be working with on release. I'm guessing there will be a performance mode of some sort that gets it closer to 60fps
