It has been 10 years because the launch of the sensible GTA V, and our need for the subsequent sport is beginning to burn brighter and warmer. With varied pretend leaks and speculations, we’re all too interested in what the long run holds on the subject of the sixth instalment of the Grand Theft Auto franchise. So, listed below are 5 issues that we’re excited to get solutions for.
A number of the objects on this record are questions which were fuelled by the latest rumors and leaks. That’s not to say, nevertheless, that what has supposedly been revealed is credible. So, please don’t come searching us down with an Apache helicopter in the event that they don’t come to move!
How Huge Will Vice Metropolis Be?
One factor that we’re fairly sure of now, is that the collection shall be returning to sunny and vibrant Vice Metropolis. The franchise hasn’t been there since GTA: Vice Metropolis Tales was launched again in October 2006, and was initially seen within the GTA: Vice Metropolis base sport in 2002.
It will likely be fascinating to see how town has been modified and added to, now that the chances inside sport design have modified a lot. Vice Metropolis and Vice Metropolis Tales each ran on engines from the identical era of consoles, so there are over 20 years of modifications to witness.
The factor that’s on our minds probably the most although, is how massive is every part going to be? Will some components keep much like the 2002 instalment? With locations corresponding to Downtown, Little Havana, and Little Haiti we will envision them changing into a lot bigger than the final time we noticed them.
These are areas that might really feel actually immersive on a bigger scale. Nonetheless, with spots like Ocean Seashore and Starfish Island, how massive do it is advisable to go? In our minds, not that massive truly.
The wonderful thing about these places is that, despite the fact that the map wasn’t enormous in GTA: Vice Metropolis itself, they felt like areas that labored nicely on a smaller scale. Starfish Island is clearly the separate island getaway for the wealthy, and Ocean Seashore felt like a pleasant, smaller sandy spot that was then contrasted by Washington Seashore’s longer stretch of land.
We’re positive that no matter Rockstar do with the map design shall be nice, however we hope that there’ll nonetheless be a couple of smaller, extra intimate locations harking back to the sport that first launched us to the Miami look alike metropolis 20 years in the past.
Will There Be Interactions with Authentic Vice Metropolis Characters?
The character forged from Vice Metropolis was iconic. Rockstar often handle to make Grand Theft Auto video games iconic anyway, however this was positively close to the highest of the record.
We all know that a few of the voice actors who portrayed individuals within the unique sport are now not with us, corresponding to Ray Liotta (relaxation in peace). Nonetheless, it will be superior to see some OG characters in GTA VI.
We’re fairly positive that there’ll at the least be homages to a few of them, or probably simply Tommy Vercetti. However, it will likely be nice to see, as Vice Metropolis was the lobby into the Grand Theft Auto collection for lots of people (who had been positively 18 or over… yep).
Will We See Characters From GTA V?
That is admittedly much like what we questioned above, nevertheless, we do know from previous video games that Rockstar like to incorporate characters from different GTA video games, that didn’t initially present up within the metropolis the place the sport they make a cameo look in takes place.
For some examples, we now have seen the likes of Ken Rosenberg (initially from Vice Metropolis) present up in GTA: San Andreas in Las Venturas. We’ve got additionally seen Claude (initially from GTA III) present up in GTA: San Andreas as nicely, regardless of the actual fact his run as protagonist happened in Liberty Metropolis.
There are generally mentions of previous protagonists as nicely, even when they don’t seem within the sport in any respect. Such an instance is when in GTA V, Lester hints to Niko Bellic from GTA IV; when he states:
“There was an Japanese European man making strikes in Liberty Metropolis however, nah.. he went quiet”
Lester Crest, Grand Theft Auto V
He additionally mentions the “Irish crazies” referring to the McReary’s who had been additionally in GTA IV. You possibly can truly discover Patrick McReary in GTA V as nicely. He’s exterior of a retailer doing a take, and might be recruited as a member of your crew if you happen to full his getaway mission.
Seeing and listening to of earlier characters from the collection will not be a necessity, however provided that Rockstar have a historical past of doing it, it will be good to see once more!
How Completely different Will the Physics Engine Be?
The physics engine in GTA V is fairly good. Having Michael crash by way of a automobile window is at all times satisfying. Nonetheless, there was a noticeable downgrade between IV and V when it comes to what the sport may deal with bodily.
Followers of the collection have even made movies on the topic, evaluating the 2 engines. They usually level out how GTA IV admittedly had superior ragdoll and automobile physics. This is because of the truth that GTA IV was forward of its time. When it got here to GTA V, the predecessor was going to be exhausting to beat, so it was scaled again.
These aren’t the be all and finish all in video games. Given although, that there was such an extended hole between entries, and that two full generations of consoles have been launched, we now have to ponder if the extra spectacular physics from IV will make an look in GTA VI.
The graphics and story are greater than doubtless going to be unimaginable as at all times. However there’s at all times room to surprise precisely what might be explored mechanically, that wasn’t potential in 2013 when the final sport launched.
Which Celebrities are Going to Host the Radio Stations?
The radio stations in Grand Theft Auto video games are legendary at this level. It doesn’t matter what sport you choose from the 3D universe, you will get some stations with nice songs, and humorous discuss present segments.
A typical theme within the video games, is that they usually have actual world celebrities internet hosting the stations. This makes good acquainted grounding by way of actual life recognition. It additionally creates hilarity by way of meta conditions, and hyper taking part in into the celeb’s personal personalities.
Some wonderful examples of celebrities who’ve appeared within the video games to host stations previously are:
- Kenny Loggins (singer of Hazard Zone from the Prime Gun soundtrack).
- Cara Delevingne (mannequin and actress in such movies as Suicide Squad and Paper Cities).
- Axl Rose (singer of Weapons ‘n’ Roses)
- Juliette Lewis (actress in movies corresponding to Cape Worry and Pure Born Killers).
- Philip Anthony-Rodriquez (actor in CSI: NY, CSI: Miami and Fashionable Household).
- Iggy Pop (singer of The Stooges).
- Frank Ocean (singer and rapper from Odd Future).
A latest rumor prompt that Joe Rogan is to voice a podcast on one of many GTA VI stations. That is unconfirmed, but when correct might be a extremely fascinating idea.
The video games have at all times had humorous interview segments. Often, involving intriguing and generally unusual individuals. The most effective examples is KChat from GTA: Vice Metropolis. Visitors that appeared ranged from a viking to a dolphin coach that falls in love with the animals he retains (within the bizarre and fallacious method).
Figuring out this, it will be unsurprising, and on model for Joe Rogan to have his personal bit within the upcoming instalment.
We’d, after all, hope to listen to different acquainted voices as nicely. Fingers crossed that Rockstar choose an awesome playlist and write some memorable quips!
It nonetheless could also be a while till we get some concrete proof as to when GTA VI shall be arriving. Within the meantime although, we are going to proceed to dream of Vice Metropolis, and let our imaginations wander and marvel on the potential options that we’d see when it lastly releases.
You realize, 20 years from now, after we’re sending our youngsters off to varsity and whatnot…
