Readers talk about what they need from GTA 6, from taking part in as a corrupt cop to completely different sorts of cities and characters.
The topic for this week’s Scorching Matter was urged by reader Grant, who requested what you need and count on from GTA 6, given rumours that it gained’t be out for a number of years but.
There have been loads of completely different options, however a few of the most typical had been a brand new setting and a feminine lead. Many had been additionally anxious that the brand new recreation may see a spotlight away from single-player, which most appeared to be firmly towards.
The jerks
I’d identical to Rockstar to make some likeable characters! They spend a lot time satirising stuff that I personally discover the whole lot too abrasive in tone. You appear to spend your entire time being a jerk working for different jerks! I’m certain I’m in a minority however I’ve grown bored with it!
The one character I feel I’ve discovered remotely likeable (for a drug and gun dealing prison!) is Little Jacob in GTA 4. He was an excellent, loyal buddy to Nico, backing him up when he didn’t must.
Rockstar might have made GTA 5’s Michael a extra likeable household man however I discovered him, his dishonest spouse, and obnoxious youngsters loathsome!
When video games similar to Sleeping Canine portrays its criminals as much more multidimensional I want Rockstar would strive one thing new with its characters and story.

Digital gangster
A very powerful factor I’d hope for is a significant enchancment in gameplay. I imply, significantly. GTA 5 is the best-selling recreation in historical past and but it performs like a mediocre AA recreation from the Xbox 360 period. And that’s really a significant enchancment on the earlier ones, which had been even worse!
The preventing, capturing, and automobile racing is all various levels of unhealthy and that simply shouldn’t be attainable given how a lot Rockstar spend making these video games. To not point out they’ve been doing this for many years now and barely appear to have learnt something.
It’s a testomony to how pleasant the fundamental premise of being a digital gangster is that individuals have put with the mediocre gameplay for therefore lengthy. That and the dialogue as nicely, though I fear what is going to occur to that now that Dan Houser and Lazlow has left.

Boys personal membership
Effectively, it will be good to simply have GTA 6 exist. And to be brutally sincere, I don’t see that occuring. What? Begin GTA On-line once more from scratch when the prevailing mannequin will be tweaked and improved with updates? I imply, from something apart from a artistic viewpoint, why? Why would Rockstar trouble? Let’s be actual, the final time Rockstar had been actually artistic was across the time of Bully and The Warriors.
But when they had been to do such a factor then it’s long gone resulting from have at the very least the choice of a feminine protagonist. One thing Saints Row has been doing since the second.
And let’s not have any bologna about, ‘Effectively, we don’t ever actually hear about violent, feminine criminals keen to get their arms soiled.’ Rockstar haven’t accomplished it as feminine characters solely get to be wives and girlfriends in all these gangster motion pictures they watch. And that and the very fact they’ve been run by ‘gents’s membership’ douche-nozzles for at the very least the previous 10-15 years. Let there be selection!

Greater than gangsters
Personally I’d prefer to see a bit extra selection in the kind of character you’re in GTA 6. Now we have had all these low degree gangsters for therefore lengthy how about taking part in as a corrupt cop or a wealthy exec making an attempt to take over the town? We’ve had these type of characters within the video games earlier than however we solely ever play as the identical type of folks. It’s most likely excessive time there was the choice to play as a lady too.
By way of the setting I don’t actually know what to say as a result of the plain selection is someplace that’s not America and but they’ve stated that that’s by no means going to occur. So I don’t actually know wherever that that’s completely different from what we’ve already bought.
Most American cities are sort of the identical so perhaps smaller cities and suburbs? However that doesn’t appear too attention-grabbing and has sort of already been accomplished with San Andreas and GTA 5.

American Mafia
The mega franchise that GTA is simply astonishing, I performed the primary one on the PlayStation 1, which I very a lot loved as that sort of gameplay for me I had by no means performed earlier than.
Killing pedestrians, Hare Krishna, cops, and different gang members, and stealing vehicles. All a brand new novelty that individuals flocked to and it’s primarily a gangster sim. I bear in mind the music being good too.
Quick ahead to GTA 3 and Rockstar perfected the gangster sim with higher graphics, story, vehicles, and characters. And the primary character is the town itself, which Rockstar very neatly is aware of is the center of the sport, which is why they put a lot effort into making it come to life.
San Andreas and Vice Metropolis are my private favourites as a result of I simply love them cities and the tone of them video games. The remasters are an important temptation I admit, however would I would like GTA 6 extra? Perhaps, however GTA 5’s success because the best-selling recreation of all time is conserving Rockstar from pushing GTA 6.
Now, for GTA 6 I feel they may make a full American Mafia set-up, fashionable or 1900s, with every metropolis within the recreation and perhaps a Seattle, Houston or El Paso affect from Crimson Useless.
Making a gangster empire, which the participant might select had been to start out and who might be a part of, could be epic in scale as a result of Rockstar don’t do small and are at all times making the following GTA larger and will add DLC cities to play over time.
No matter grand design Rockstar comes up with I feel we all know it will likely be good. GTA 6 in 2026?

I’m certain GTA 6 will probably be pleasant if it ever comes out however I’m extra eager about seeing what Dan Houser does subsequent…

Count on the surprising
I’m certain the GTA role-playing neighborhood may have their very own concepts for the following GTA On-line recreation however I’ll simply focus on the single-player, and if 2025 is to be believed then it ought to have concepts that I cannot even consider!
To begin with, a selection of various playable characters from all sexes, ethnicities, religions, races, and sexuality, and many others. All with distinctive backstories and probably not all violent or cliched both! The story will be intelligent about this and set up who they ultimately grow to be with a few of your selections inflicting it.
The remainder of the sport is principally performed out in a 3rd individual or first individual with non-playable character, which might make for a greater expertise when interacting with them. The world will be large and perhaps two or three massive cities on perhaps two land plenty, touring to them by boat, ship, yacht, airplane or perhaps a Channel Tunnel sort of construction!
Perhaps even a rocket to fly to the Moon and Mars, Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and Jeff Bezos model. The factor is, the whole lot else is simply an improve to what’s accessible now! Simply take a look at NoPixel GTA On-line’s effort, how can they prime that!
Both means, the above are what might evolve the sequence to a brand new degree of immersion however think about the visuals in 2025. It needs to be the largest occasion in gaming historical past, and what a time to be round to see it occur.
