It has been 10 years because the launch of the sensible GTA V, and our need for the subsequent recreation is beginning to burn brighter and warmer. With numerous faux leaks and speculations, we’re all too interested by what the longer term holds almost about the sixth instalment of the Grand Theft Auto franchise. So, listed below are 5 issues that we’re excited to get solutions for.
A few of the objects on this checklist are questions which have been fuelled by the latest rumors and leaks. That isn’t to say, nonetheless, that what has supposedly been revealed is credible. So, please don’t come looking us down with an Apache helicopter in the event that they don’t come to move!
How Massive Will Vice Metropolis Be?
One factor that we’re fairly sure of now, is that the sequence will likely 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 recreation in 2002.
It will likely be fascinating to see how town has been modified and added to, now that the probabilities inside recreation 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 essentially the most although, is how huge is every part going to be? Will some components keep much like the 2002 instalment? With locations comparable to Downtown, Little Havana, and Little Haiti we will envision them turning into a lot bigger than the final time we noticed them.
These are areas that may really feel actually immersive on a bigger scale. Nonetheless, with spots like Ocean Seaside and Starfish Island, how huge do it’s essential to go? In our minds, not that huge really.
The wonderful thing about these areas is that, though the map wasn’t big in GTA: Vice Metropolis itself, they felt like areas that labored properly on a smaller scale. Starfish Island is clearly the separate island getaway for the wealthy, and Ocean Seaside felt like a pleasant, smaller sandy spot that was then contrasted by Washington Seaside’s longer stretch of land.
We’re positive that no matter Rockstar do with the map design will likely 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 twenty years in the past.
Will There Be Interactions with Authentic Vice Metropolis Characters?
The character solid from Vice Metropolis was iconic. Rockstar normally handle to make Grand Theft Auto video games iconic anyway, however this was undoubtedly close to the highest of the checklist.
We all know that a few of the voice actors who portrayed folks within the authentic recreation are now not with us, comparable to Ray Liotta (relaxation in peace). Nonetheless, it might be superior to see some OG characters in GTA VI.
We’re fairly positive that there’ll not less than be homages to a few of them, or presumably simply Tommy Vercetti. However, it will likely be nice to see, as Vice Metropolis was the lobby into the Grand Theft Auto sequence for lots of people (who had been undoubtedly 18 or over… yep).
Will We See Characters From GTA V?
That is admittedly much like what we questioned above, nonetheless, 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’ve got seen the likes of Ken Rosenberg (initially from Vice Metropolis) present up in GTA: San Andreas in Las Venturas. We’ve additionally seen Claude (initially from GTA III) present up in GTA: San Andreas as properly, regardless of the very fact his run as protagonist happened in Liberty Metropolis.
There are typically mentions of previous protagonists as properly, even when they don’t seem within the recreation 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 really discover Patrick McReary in GTA V as properly. He’s exterior of a retailer doing a take, and will be recruited as a member of your crew in case you full his getaway mission.
Seeing and listening to of earlier characters from the sequence just isn’t a necessity, however provided that Rockstar have a historical past of doing it, it might be good to see once more!
How Totally different Will the Physics Engine Be?
The physics engine in GTA V is fairly good. Having Michael crash by means of a automobile window is at all times satisfying. Nonetheless, there was a noticeable downgrade between IV and V by way of what the sport may deal with bodily.
Followers of the sequence have even made movies on the topic, evaluating the 2 engines. They typically 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’ve got to ponder if the extra spectacular physics from IV will make an look in GTA VI.
The graphics and story are greater than probably going to be unimaginable as at all times. However there’s at all times room to marvel precisely what will be explored mechanically, that wasn’t doable in 2013 when the final recreation 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 recreation 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 typically have actual world celebrities internet hosting the stations. This makes good acquainted grounding by means of actual life recognition. It additionally creates hilarity by means 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 up to now are:
- Kenny Loggins (singer of Hazard Zone from the High 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 comparable to Cape Worry and Pure Born Killers).
- Philip Anthony-Rodriquez (actor in CSI: NY, CSI: Miami and Trendy Household).
- Iggy Pop (singer of The Stooges).
- Frank Ocean (singer and rapper from Odd Future).
A latest rumor recommended 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 typically unusual folks. Top-of-the-line examples is KChat from GTA: Vice Metropolis. Friends that appeared ranged from a viking to a dolphin coach that falls in love with the animals he retains (within the bizarre and mistaken method).
Realizing this, it might 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 properly. Fingers crossed that Rockstar choose an incredible playlist and write some memorable quips!
It nonetheless could also be a while till we get some concrete proof as to when GTA VI will likely 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 doable options that we’d see when it lastly releases.
You realize, 20 years from now, once we’re sending our youngsters off to school and whatnot…
