Recently, Reddit forum user SpecialOver5385 posted new details about "GTA6". He claimed that he joined Rockstar in early 2024 and became a member of the QA team. He was laid off last month so he did not want to keep it secret.
It is reported that the core content of "GTA6" is already running normally, and the game quality is quite amazing. The game map is not three times as rumored as that of "Give Him Love 5". Its real feature is its extremely high density. Players can enter the interior of a considerable number of buildings, but not every building is accessible. Players can enter places such as restaurants, convenience stores, apartment lobbies, some office buildings, and parking lots, and the production level is shocking.
Outside the city are large wetlands and swamp areas. The overall feeling is like the estuary wetland area in "Red Dead Redemption 2". Crocodiles are almost everywhere and are truly threatening creatures, with full predator AI that will lurk, stalk, and then suddenly attack. To the north of the city is a sprawling suburban and rural area filled with strip malls, trailer parks, gated communities, and pastures grazing cattle, which is very Florida.
The tipster mentioned that the heroine Lucia is actually the real protagonist, and she has obviously more operational time than Jason. Her backstory with the gang is very in-depth. There is a through-line throughout the story, and your choices will determine whether she returns to the world of crime or tries to take the high road, and these choices will ultimately affect the ending. As for Jason, he is more responsible for the planning and execution of the robbery, and is the one responsible for formulating the plan. He can be understood as the person responsible for arranging the entire operation, while Lucia is the person who really goes deep into the front line to carry out the mission.
The NPC AI design is great, and the NPC will really remember the crimes you committed in the past. However, it is not the kind of design that "the whole city will be hostile to you", but a more delicate mechanism. For example, if you robbed a store, the clerk would recognize you when you return there. NPCs will also react differently depending on the time of day and weather conditions. In stormy weather, the police will be significantly less aggressive than usual when chasing, and NPCs will be more likely to slip during foot chases.
The wanted system has also been completely reworked. The police will respond based on the police calls made by NPCs and the spread of gunshots. Different weapons have different noise propagation ranges. If no one witnessed your crime and no security cameras caught you, you can just leave the scene as if nothing happened. But once your identity is exposed, the police will continue to track you. They will share your physical characteristics via radio and trace your vehicle information. You have to literally change vehicles, change clothes, and be patient and wait for the wind to pass.
