Outside of the game’s massive map, plenty of old features are receiving updates, while some new ones are being introduced. These are the elements most gamers are excited about, as they offer new ways to play and new areas to explore. Additionally, elements that worked well in previous GTA titles are returning, while mechanics from other popular Rockstar games are being incorporated. As of writing, not too much has been confirmed to appear. Still, thanks to a pretty devastating leak and a few snippets, Rockstar has revealed these five new confirmed features, making GTA fans excited for the next entry.
5) The Inclusion Of Red Dead Redemption 2’s Dialogue Interaction System
There’s no denying that GTA V is a fantastic game, but like any Triple-A title, it lacks in some areas. For dialogue, the game’s built-in mechanics didn’t impress as many fans as Rockstar likely hoped. This is evident in the many mods improving the game’s dialogue system, one of which introduces a Red Dead Redemption 2-style mechanic. This makes an already immersive game feel even more so. Modding is also one of the many reasons people continue to play the game so long after its initial release. Rockstar paid attention, and RDR2’s dialogue system is incorporated in GTA 6 at launch, adding prompts like “Greet, Threaten, Rob” to interactions with NPCs.
4) Tons Of Open World Activities
The franchise has never left players without plenty to do in its open-world environments. Still, GTA V’s map includes empty basketball courts and other dead zones. GTA 6 won’t have that problem, as Rockstar has confirmed a plethora of playable options to keep players entertained. Some of the activities confirmed include pool, boxing, tennis, minigolf, basketball, gym workouts, racing, and more. There’s even fishing and hunting mechanics taken straight out of RDR2, proving Rockstar’s penchant for recycling mechanics that fans love. Additionally, the game’s library of animals is significantly expanded over previous titles, and they include alligators, so keep an eye out when you’re near any bodies of water.
3) Detailed Underwater Exploration
Underwater missions have been part of the franchise since GTA: San Andreas, and both GTA V and Grand Theft Auto Online have submarine activities. These options were previously limited, but no longer. GTA 6 includes far more to do underwater. Players can explore coral reefs, look at sea life, and try to avoid it because sharks are going to be included. Dolphins will be in the water as well, so divers can see all kinds of critters. There are numerous places to explore with treasures to find and secrets to uncover, so this expansion is something plenty of players are looking forward to in GTA 6.
