GTA 6 Futuristic Gameplay?
Recent GTA 6 news and updates indicate that there might be a chance that Grand Theft Auto’s latest installment might be set in the future.
If suppositions about the game are to be believed, it looks like the latest GTA game will no longer feature cars and locations in the present, nor will it feature cars and locations set in the past — as opposed to what was earlier believed by many Grand Theft Auto fans.
The game will likely feature concept cars and futuristic locations instead, in what appears to be a radical deviation from the franchise’s original concept.
Though drastic changes to the game’s concept is, presumably, unlikely — unfortunate events in the not-so-distant past, including former Rockstar big boss Leslie Benzies falling out with the company, seemed to have allowed (if not forced) the game’s developers to entertain ideas of extreme changes in the Grand Theft Auto franchise.
The game’s developers, however, are still yet to make any announcements related to the highly anticipated game.
For now, Rockstar seem to be taking its time in developing ideas for their GTA game, and it looks like fans will just have to wait things out.
GTA 6 San Diego Likely – Analysts
Rockstar’s decision to keep mum about anything related to GTA 6 thus far has not kept fans and analysts from all over the world from talking about the highly anticipated installment of the well-loved Grand Theft Auto franchise.
Over the last few months, fans and analysts alike have suggested, speculated, and assumed a number of different locations to be the next city likely to be featured in the game’s next installment.
The fact that Rockstar has already previously patented titles that feature names of a few foreign cities such as Tokyo and Bogota has gotten fans believing that the next GTA is definitely happening outside the US shores.
But others think otherwise.
According to the latest rumors surrounding the much-awaited GTA 6 game, Rockstar is inclined to go for a GTA: San Diego in its next Grand Theft Auto installment. Analysts suggest that this is highly likely due to the fact that the city has all the facilities – both natural and man-made alike –that the GTA players would be needing from a potential GTA location.
Rockstar, meanwhile, is said to be scheduled to unveil its future projects sometime soon.
Release Date
Recent GTA 6 news and updates indicate that the highly anticipated game will likely be released just in time for the launch of the equally anticipated gaming consoles — Sony’s PlayStation 5 and Microsoft’s Xbox Two.
Although Rockstar is yet to confirm that it indeed plans to develop GTA 6 sometime in the near future, word is out that the game might already be in its early development stage.
Take-Two Interactive has promised that planned projects for Rockstar will be revealed soon, and GTA 6 is expected to be among the projects to be announced by the company in the near future.
Analysts point out, however, that GTA Online’s unprecedented success may likely deter the game’s developers from making the development of GTA 6 among the list of their priorities in the present. With over $500 million in revenues through GTA Online’s in-game microtransactions alone, many believe that Rockstar may feel no urgency to put something new on the table anytime soon.
Gameplay
Meanwhile, elsewhere, despite the amount of time between now and the day that GTA 6 will finally be released (which is yet to be known, and is unlikely anytime soon) — a lot of talks about how the gameplay will be like in the much-awaited sequel still continue to make the rounds on the internet, anyway.
The latest GTA 6 updates indicate that the gameplay in the highly anticipated game may deviate slightly from its traditional gameplay, which showcased more of driving stunts rather than realistic driving adventures during its last installment — which was the Grand Theft Auto 5.
And it looks like GTA fans are hoping to see the same in the much-awaited game.
In an independent poll, GTA fans voted for the GTA 6 gameplay to be different from the supercars in GTA 5 — which, oddly enough, could climb mountainsides and have the ability to drive off-road.
In the poll, GTA fans indicated that they hope for the supercars in GTA 6 to have the capacity to do a lot of wheel spins instead.
Previous GTA 6 news also mentioned that a female protagonist will likely be featured in the game — and the voice behind her no less than Hollywood A-lister Eva Mendes herself.
According to reports, alongside this female protagonist will be her male counterpart — and Eva Mendes’s real-life beau Ryan Gosling will likely be the voice behind him.
The conflict between Rockstar and the company’s former big boss, Leslie Benzies, is also likely to play a big role in the changes expected of the blockbuster franchise’s sixth installment.
Benzies’ footprints can be found all throughout the Grand Theft Auto franchise history. Now that he’s no longer a part of the company, and because the message he was trying to convey was clear enough — it’s no longer certain if the much-awaited sequel from the GTA franchise will be able to follow the same direction as its predecessors did.
Analysts believe that this development can have a significant impact on how GTA 6 will be developed, as it restricts the game developers from letting future GTA installments pursue the same path as the ones before them.
In short, GTA 6 is likely to emerge a deviant, as it is more inclined to be different compared to all the others before it — mainly due to the legal battle between Benzies and Rockstar North.
Location
While sources have confirmed that Grand Theft Auto 6 is definitely happening and already has its foundations laid down for it, reports suggest that Rockstar still hasn’t decided on a location for the next Grand Theft Auto franchise.
Though it appears that the GTA team made tremendous efforts to explore the idea of creating a Tokyo-based GTA franchise — including physically traveling all the way to the Land of the Rising Sun — rumor has it that Rockstar has completely scratched off the idea due to the road system in the Japanese capital which the developers saw as ‘problematic’ for its GTA game.
Analysts have already previously ruled out the possibility of a GTA overseas, and many are speculating that Grand Theft Auto: Sin City might soon be happening.
But then again, there’s also a chance that GTA 6 will feature all the maps from the franchise’s past titles altogether. After all, Leslie Benzies himself said not too long ago that this is in fact a possibility.
But until Rockstar provides a definite location for its highly anticipated (and very much assumed) Grand Theft Auto 6 game, rumors and conclusions about the game’s location will always interest fans of the highly successful franchise.
And while many await any announcement related to the game, another rumor about its supposed location has started circling about.
The location in question? San Fierro — or Las Venturas.
According to rumors, there is considerable chance that the next Grand Theft Auto game might just be GTA: San Fierro or GTA: Las Venturas — as the map in the game’s past title, ‘GTA: San Andreas’, was never completed.
Analysts believe that the so-called “missing piece” in the game’s San Andreas map might be the perfect location for the blockbuster franchise’s next sequel.
According to them, either of the two aforementioned prospective locations will make a perfect fit in the game’s San Andreas map.
Previous titles of the franchise featured locations confined only to the major U.S. cities, but analysts believe that this is about to change.
Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser has already previously stated that the company does not want its Grand Theft Auto franchise to be limited to the American culture, and analysts believe that this could be indicative that a GTA overseas is in order.
Rumors about an imminent GTA 6: London happening in the not-so-distant future has been going about for weeks and fans can’t stop talking about it.
The fact that Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser hinted in a past interview that GTA is bound to go abroad in its forthcoming installments has been reason enough for fans to speculate on a UK location.
There is one problem, however.
Cars in London are right-hand drive (RHD) vehicles.
Will a London location for Grand Theft Auto mean that cars in the game would no longer be the American standard left-hand drive vehicles? Will users have to drive right-hand drive vehicles in the game instead? Will this affect the game’s gameplay? How will this affect users?
