Not to be that guy but GTA 3 was actually the first game in the series to be connected to a larger landmass, you just couldn't access much of it but it is on the map.

[@Amm17ar]

I watched a video of some guy counting how many people lived in each GTA game and Liberty city due to the sheer scale of the buildings and stuff was significantly more. I think when you were driving through manhatten the concrete jungle of the city just made it feel massive.

[@srxdeadpool9006]

The new Vice City alone is already 2x bigger than Los Santos, but remember, Vice City isn't the only city coming to the game, the everglades, some parts of Georgia,etc. Are also going to be in the game/part of the map

[@dazzaboy04]

​​@@srxdeadpool9006we're getting upto three seperate counties in Leonida, each with their own police department

[@Nitroh-]

One thing I wanna see with this updated AI system, is NPC's actually driving recklessly like we do. See them speeding, drifting in traffic, major crashes etc. It's always 1 thing about the life and world of GTA I have wanted, have more than just *us* the player be the criminal in the city, have cops actively searching for wanted people, just have a full functioning NPC criminal underworld separate from our story.

[@MrSuperkaji]

Would also be cool to see more advanced cop behaviours interacting with other NPCs. In V, cops basically only interact with peds by shooting them if they get aggro'd by the player, or the occasional pre programmed car chase.

[@_denzy_6310]

this would naturally happen in gta sa or with YLTEICZ pc cheat

[@pygmalion8952]

now that is a unique usa experience. they should do that. i want to watch chases on the tv.

[@Spiritdoh]

That’s one of the features I most loved about GTA San Andreas, seeing the gangs cause havoc in the cities & streets was so cool

[@lunasmileyy]

that might actually happen. There are a bunch of world events (random things that happen) that were leaked, and some of them pertain to car meets and cars doing donuts in the middle of the road, like in the trailer.

Not happening, at least not at launch. It might borrow a bit from nearby areas, but this game is Florida.

[@muik6516]

2:12 Well im just gonna cry in a corner if thats the case

[@Lonely.Chrome]

It will probably feel more alive than V bc after you leave LS, the map really becomes stale. I would assume in VI that even tho it only has a 60s addition from S-N, it would feel more alive from beginning to end. Plus the width of Leonida would still cover a lot of ground itself.

[@RomanG.1918]

It's worth mentioning that the majority of GTA V's map was full of mountains, reducing the actual playable size of the map drastically. GTA VI's map looks significantly more accessible. This makes the difference between the two massive.

[@dazzaboy04]

To give you an idea of just how big this map is going to be, the Florida Keys portion of the map, from bottom island, to end of the bridge connecting the mainland, is rumoured to be the same size as the whole of Blaine County ALONE

[@choppergunner8650]

Hot take, but GTA V's map is probably the worst map in all GTA games. I get it that they were trying to expand on Los Santos and focus on that as a city, excluding San Fierro and Las Venturas, but damn, man, there's zero interesting stuff to do in the GTA V's wilderness. Anything north of Los Santos is not only a chore to get to without a flying vehicle, because of all the twisty roads, but also there's nothing interesting. Chumash has nothing interesting. Sandy Shores is just a respawn point in case you die nearby, and use the airfield. The Mackenzie airstrip is also weirdly located, with two airfields located one near the other, with a lake (sorry, Alamo SEA, a sea with the size of an average lake) in between. Then there's a whole chain of mountains that's super difficult to get through, a canyon that people barely remember and Paleto Bay, which is another respawn point and served its use during one or two missions, but that's basically it. Even the GTA SA wilderness looks better (and creepier) than in GTA V.

[@dazzaboy04]

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if NPCs are living out daily lives just like RDR2

[@EliteInExile]

I will never forget the time I had a dude who got ate up by an alligator in RDR2 and tried taking him to a clinic which suddenly, I got knocked out by the first ever TB coughing fit. Outstandingly, the dude I was trying to rescue was in the clinic with me, and the doc was fixing him up and told me I was out due to TB, and found the other guy with me, so he took us both in. I dunno if that was scripted, but the thought that this happened so organically and unexpectedly has got to be one of the most realistic things that's ever happened to me EVER in all my years of gaming.

[@JackMarston.1895]

It's wild that they actually thought about side quests like that when the Tuberculosis event happens. The fact that they developed different scenarios depending on stuff like that is just astonishing.

[@Hostile2430]

Hope in GTA 6 random cars in traffic don't change lanes suddenly and try to collide with players car , it's one of the most annoying things in GTA 5

[@choppergunner8650]

This tends to happen in real life too when you're speeding down a lane. It's just like how he described the GTA IV vs. GTA V driving physics: speeding is effective to get to places faster, but you need to be prepared of the possible consequences of speeding. And this is GTA V we're talking about, you barely even get launched off the windshield anymore.

when we look at RDR2 map, we can see they've spread many cities all over the map giving this map more life than GTA5's map. It's obvious they'll do the same for GTA6 because they know a lot of people don't like GTA5's map

Wrong. The only city in RDR2 is Saint Denis. All others are either towns or villages.

@@EarthIsFlat456 yes but there's more of these villages on the RDR2's map than there's small town on GTA5's map and it brings more life (basicaly on GTA's map there's 3 cities + the military base and on RDR2's map there's Rhodes Valentines Strawberry, blackwater etc...)

i think having interiors would just cause the same problem we have with gta 5, but instead of being a big portion of the map that doesnt give you reason to explore it, it would be indoors, like what would be the point of being able to go inside every building, besides that alone increasing the size of the game by insane ammounts

[@haze_2563]

GTA San Andreas feels bigger than gta 5 for some reason, having multiple big cities is wayy better than everything being in 1 area and the rest of the map is dead, rdr2 brought back some of this, and it also feels bigger than gta 5, hope they continue the trend with gta 6

[@Amm17ar]

Id love if Cuba was part of the launch map. Itd be nice for planes to have a bit of a purpose. Plus its been a long time since the game did anything international and I think given the proximity of Florida to Cuba, could be a great opportunity for us to be able to do that. Also it could give them the opportunity for some creative missions and tasks. Plus the culture and style of Cuba/Havana is just a really unique one and to include the retro cars, the culture, political atmosphere, and so much more in the game would add such a cool dimension to the game. It would also be extremely unprecedented for an open world game of this caliber to allow you to traverse oceans to get to a completely new and unique play area.
