It has been 10 years for the reason that launch of the sensible GTA V, and our want for the following sport is beginning to burn brighter and warmer. With numerous pretend 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.
Among the gadgets on this record are questions which were fuelled by the latest rumors and leaks. That isn’t to say, nevertheless, 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 Huge Will Vice Metropolis Be?

One factor that we’re fairly sure of now, is that the collection can 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 is going to 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 technology of consoles, so there are over 20 years of adjustments to witness.
The factor that’s on our minds essentially the most although, is how large is all the things going to be? Will some components keep much like the 2002 instalment? With locations similar to Downtown, Little Havana, and Little Haiti we are able to envision them changing 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 Seashore and Starfish Island, how large do it is advisable to go? In our minds, not that large truly.
The wonderful thing about these places is that, although the map wasn’t enormous in GTA: Vice Metropolis itself, they felt like areas that labored effectively 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 can be nice, however we hope that there’ll nonetheless be just a few smaller, extra intimate locations paying homage 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 normally handle to make Grand Theft Auto video games iconic anyway, however this was undoubtedly close to the highest of the record.
We all know that among the voice actors who portrayed folks within the authentic sport are now not with us, similar 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 a minimum of 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 have been undoubtedly 18 or over… yep).
Will We See Characters From GTA V?
![The three protagonists of GTA V in boiler suits and masks](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/GTA-V-Main-Protagonists.jpg?resize=640%2C360)
That is admittedly much like what we puzzled 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 have now seen the likes of Ken Rosenberg (initially from Vice Metropolis) present up in GTA: San Andreas in Las Venturas. Now we have additionally seen Claude (initially from GTA III) present up in GTA: San Andreas as effectively, regardless of the actual fact his run as protagonist came about in Liberty Metropolis.
There are typically mentions of previous protagonists as effectively, 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 Jap 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 have been additionally in GTA IV. You’ll be able to truly discover Patrick McReary in GTA V as effectively. He’s outdoors of a retailer doing a take, and might be recruited as a member of your crew for those who full his getaway mission.
Seeing and listening to of earlier characters from the collection is just not a necessity, however provided that Rockstar have a historical past of doing it, it will 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 via a automotive window is all the time pleasurable. Nonetheless, there was a noticeable downgrade between IV and V by way of what the sport might 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 automotive 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 have now to ponder if the extra spectacular physics from IV will make an look in GTA VI.
The graphics and story are greater than possible going to be unimaginable as all the time. However there’s all the time room to marvel precisely what might be explored mechanically, that wasn’t doable in 2013 when the final sport launched.
Which Celebrities are Going to Host the Radio Stations?
![The logos for radio stations in GTA: Vice City](https://twinfinite.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/GTA-Vice-City-Radio-Stations.jpg?resize=640%2C360)
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’ll get some stations with nice songs, and humorous discuss present segments.
A standard theme within the video games, is that they usually have actual world celebrities internet hosting the stations. This makes good acquainted grounding via actual life recognition. It additionally creates hilarity via 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 similar 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 urged that Joe Rogan is to voice a podcast on one of many GTA VI stations. That is unconfirmed, but when correct could possibly be a very fascinating idea.
The video games have all the time had humorous interview segments. Often, involving intriguing and typically unusual folks. The most effective 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 incorrect means).
Realizing this, it will be unsurprising, and on model for Joe Rogan to have his personal bit within the upcoming instalment.
We might, in fact, hope to listen to different acquainted voices as effectively. Fingers crossed that Rockstar choose an excellent playlist and write some memorable quips!
It nonetheless could also be a while till we get some concrete proof as to when GTA VI can be arriving. Within the meantime although, we’ll 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 already know, 20 years from now, after we’re sending our youngsters off to school and whatnot…
