Is THIS Why GTA 6's Map Is So Empty?

Ever since the initial leaks and official teasers, I've been closely analyzing every piece of information about GTA 6, and it's fascinating. The game's potential map size suggests there could be a lot of empty space at launch, but this might be part of a larger plan to introduce expansive new cities and areas through updates, much like updates in popular MMOs. Imagine speeding through brand-new cities added years after the game's release, a thrilling prospect that could keep the game fresh and exciting long into the future.
On the gameplay front, as a seasoned GTA player, I'm curious how the new installment will balance challenge and accessibility. The lack of difficulty settings in previous titles has always been a topic of discussion, and with GTA 6, this could either be a turning point or more of the same. It’s a delicate balance catering to both veterans of the franchise and newcomers who might find the traditional GTA gameplay daunting.
Lastly, the integration of GTA 6 and its online component could make or break the user experience. The idea of seamlessly switching between single-player and online sounds convenient, but past experiences suggest it could lead to complications. A separation could simplify things, allowing players who prefer one mode over the other to dive deep without compromise. It's an exciting time to be a part of the GTA community as we speculate and dream about what's to come.

8:30 Rockstar must’ve learned their lesson by now about the importance of separating Story and Online. The infamous “aren’t you cold in that thirty pound fur coat” RDR2 bug was caused by an update to Red Dead Online. Rockstar genuinely had no idea how to fix it and it was in the game for months while they searched for a solution. Finally they gave up and just removed those kinds of comments from the game completely. They had to take out a feature to fix a bug.

[@alphana7055]

Not really that bug was caused by the incompentence of Rockstar India, and indians are even more involved in GTA VI, infact, many veterans left Rockstar over half a decade ago and were replaced by cheap indians.

With splitting up GTA VI and GTA Online they should do it how Call of Duty does it where you can choose which modes you want installed, Campaign, Multiplayer, Warzone, but it is still treated as one game on the console instead of two separate games. They get around the issue of installing assets multiple times by having a "base game" you install which downloads all the assets that exist in all the modes, for GTA VI this could be the vanilla map at 1.0 release.

[@clockwork3494]

Honestly this 100% Like I know this is "I like money" R*, but I genuinely hope this is the path they take rather then them either: A) Making both compacted all into one like GTAV currently is. B) Make them both separate but you need to purchase online as an addon/subscription fee.

I'm pretty sure the Hitman games also do this - you download the base resources seperately to each individual mission. That way you can install a mission, complete it, uninstall it, install the next mission and so on. It's not like they take up a lot of space, but it helped me lot, since I have only 465 GB on my memory card.

[@emoharalampiev1590]

I really don't understand why are we assuming there's empty space. That part of the map is unknown, it's not like we've seen empty fields there, we're just assuming there'll be accessible map there... could be plenty of cities or indeed nothingness. (and if they plan to add something quite hope it won't be online exclusive)

[@Xeem_Pad]

I think it's dumb to release Online 2 as soon as base game releases. They would rather have time to properly test it while people are enjoying the SP. Also imagine what nightmare it would be to fix bugs in SP and MP at the same time.

[@awii.neocities]

About seperating GTA Online and GTA VI, It's quite easy to seperate downloads for games without having to redownload the same files. Call Of Duty has already done it where you can choose to install the singleplayer or multiplayer, or delete one or the other, and many other games have too. Hell, many pirated games allow you to delete content such as language packs to mitigate the filesize

[@party4lifedude]

It's annoying that you have to download a simple trainer mod in single player just to have access to like 75% of the cars and weapons that are already in the game's files. Even if you don't play online, you still have to download all of the assets for stuff that is exclusive to online that you can't even access in single player without mods. Like if they are going to have us download several extra gigabytes of cars and weapons, they should at least put them in the single player game, so it isn't a complete waste of hard drive space.

[@mohammedkebab]

GTA 6 Facts and Glitches is gonna be so interesting though. Facts and Glitches already is very interesting, but having played GTA Online for 1200 hours makes you already know some of it.

[@Franshela]

I've been seeing some people complaining about how interiors work in online. They hope to just open the door for their night club like in gun stores for example. The real problem with this wish is how the game knows if you want to enter your club or someone else's club?

[@Maho.]

if rockstar design things from the ground up in mind, they'd have online and single player as a seamless experiance, but whether or not you actually want the single player files or multiplayer files are optional, but all the shared assets between them remain a core package. On steam, it is not hard to set this up, and in the past developers used DLC as a way to make content optional. Valve have been smart enough to allow game files that are shared across each operating system to be in a single package (like map data, sounds), but any platform specific code (like the executables) can be put in their own, and steam will only download the files it needs, and can share over the network with others what parts it has

[@nrsyeah]

In old Cod games (MW2/MW3) on steam, campaign and multiplayer have 2 exes so you can launch them separately on the steam launcher. The campaign is about 14gbs and the multiplayer is around 1gb ish on a separate download. I think that making gta online seperate with this model is perfectly beneficial.

[@JackMarston.1895]

I really hope they continue to update the map in GTA 6 online. When new buildings are built/destroyed in real Miami then I hope online reflects this. GTA 5 Online never did this and the map still looks identical to 2013 for the most part.

[@garyfreeman896]

The reason that the panhandle area is so open with nothing in it is because the entire panhandle is based off of a real road sign that the devs used in the 2022 leaks as a placeholder. Which also means that the placeholder no longer exists so the panhandle may get taken out of the project later on, who knows.

What people don’t understand (and what i think is extremely funny) the map in-game on Gta 5 likewise with other gta titles, reveal map in patches and as u go through and reveal part of the map as u progress. Same with leakers creating maps, those parts are just empty, anything can be there.

[@mildew4you]

In games like the newer call off duty’s, while they’re not necessarily separate, you can literally just uninstall certain sections of the game, ie campaign, multiplayer, zombies mode. Like , if you play cod and you only play the zombies mode, then you can choose to uninstall the other two modes to save space. Can rockstar do this with gta?

[@jeffreytenthije]

I think the sp and online seperate could be like those language-pack dlcs. SP and ON function as free additional dlc, being able to enable/disable the parts when you want to, preventing double downloads

7:40 COD: Black Ops III did the best on steam on my opinion.

About SP and Online having the same assets. They can make mandatory assets if you want to play one of them. As an example: If you only want to play SP: folder A will be downloaded If you want to install Online having SP installed: folder A will be shared by both programs If you want to uninstall SP: folder A will remain because is mandatory to run online

8:25 just wanted to make it clear that gtao and gta v are NOT separated on consoles either. If you buy GTAO, you'll still download the whole 100gb+ thing, it's just that the single player mode will be locked. You can purchase and unlock it and it'll be the exact same system as GTA V

[@randomone649]

19:34 , I think they could make it so, the online will download ONLY the online assets, and when turning on GTA online, a small executable that can have just a few lines of code, launch the GTA 6 executable with all GTA 6 files (and trigger an online mode in the GTA 6 launch that gives it access to the location of the files for Online that won't be triggered otherwise)

One of the worst things about GTA V (particularly online) is that it felt like there are so many tedious missions that are essentially “drive from point A to B” adding to that grindy feeling of the game. If the leaks of the map are 100% accurate, I’m worried about that filler content and tedium.

[@keshonhend2047]

The problem with this in GTA V is it's always "Drive away from the city then back." If the drives were between two cities with stuff to do in each then it would be much more palatable. Hopefully VI's online has meaningful content outside of the main Vice City area because it feels like Blaine County exists in Online just to facilitate boring drives.

[@BertTF2]

If vehicles move at a more realistic speed then it won't be so bad. Crossing the map won't take too long if you can go 240 mph down the highway in a supercar or 1000 mph in a jet. Not sure if they're gonna do that though, I hope they do

the easiest way to make the game easier for new players outside of the skip mission buttons is to add a relationship meter either with just Jason and Lucia or maybe even them and other characters. The more you hang out with each other the higher the meter goes and as it goes up the NPC's or Jason/Lucia with you're in gun fights with will do more damage to NPC's you're fighting or even unlock NPC's they can kill but with the meter at its lowest it would play similar to V's system of some NPC's just have to be shot by the player and the damage your gun fight teammates do is at its weakest. So as you bring that meter up you bring the ease of the game up possibly just for short periods of time.

​​@@SavageGreywolfPort Gellhorn isn't Tampa. It's based on Panama City from Florida and other nearby panhandle cities. But the city itself it's in the same position as Fort Myers is in real life. The racetrack from it, it's based on Sebring.

Imagine a parody of real life looking similar to it

I think if you wanted to do something like tgg in gta 6 along with online content update videos he does, you can do gta 6 speed running updates in the same format, like going over the major categories, reporting any changes to holders of the record or showing any new strategies that pop up, I think it would be interesting

[@elishaya7039]

I think its more important to have difficulty options in shooter games, since players can differ so much in terms of mechanics.

[@alphana7055]

It seems like GTA players have no idea that there are other games, all I hear about GTA VI we already had dozens of times since GTA V. No idea how people get hyped for just another open world movie game😂, sony releases 2 of these every year.

[@ahmadanime7586]

Because mostly rockstar makes good games, exluding the trilogy and they played them since they were kids so they look up to their next games.

[@party4lifedude]

If you are so tired of hearing about it, then maybe you shouldn't be watching channels that exclusively talk about GTA. If there are so many other better interesting games out there, it shouldn't be a problem for you to find something else to watch.

[@alphana7055]

@@party4lifedude I am on this channel because of reactions related content. You gettong offended because I give context to how stagnant rockstar has become makes you sound like a child, which is not suprising, GTA was always a franchise for children🤣

[@lazerlight5155]

6:30 i think a simple solution to this problem is making it a free dlc add on that way you can disable or activate it aswell as not needing to download more assets

[@internetexplorer4566]

What is that song you used for the intro? I remember hearing that on a youtube video years ago.

[@IndyMiraaga]

Metal Gear Solid V didn't have difficulty options, though some missions had extra-difficult modifiers you could replay them with like starting with no weapon or gear loadout, or having less health or requiring full stealth. Excluding the latter, those could actually be pretty neat for a GTA game imo.

[@panis7564]

7:20 You could also go the Blizzard/battle-net route and be able to choose which one you want. That way, if you want that QOL "fast" transition from the story mode into the online game, or vice versa, and you don't mind the extra file space you'd have to use, you'd have it by default. Otherwise, just don't choose the one you KNOW you're not going to play, and you save yourself a headache. Even if you only wanted the online, you'd save 32GB for basically no effort or consequence.

[@MatheoLund]

I guess i agree with 6:28 however it would be nice to have one version being just online and story, but also have one thats combined for people who would like to play both without the hassle of changing games

[@AmbientStudios]

Gta 6 is one of those games I want to play myself, without watching youtube stuff. But Im a PC gamer at heart and no longer have any consoles, and I don't really want to get one. So I'll likely watch you play it, your the only content creator that would play the game with such heart and passion for the world and story. Very hyped to see that day!

[@Susul-lj2wm]

to solve the issue with the assets and stuff of having two downloads, you could basically release online as an official mod/dlc, meaning if you didnt download it nothing would change in the base game

[@CAG3D0]

The real question is will there be cougars in missions in GTA 6

[@solvek2196]

Yes but it’s a one in a million chance!

[@Demonz2000]

I mean, since the map has multiple cities, I wouldn't mind seeing large open spaces between cities, it'd make it look more realistic and it'd be amazing for people who just wanna chill and drive

[@Jenna_Talia]

8:20 A point for GTA 6 and online 2 being together is that having the ability to accept invites while in story mode is actually a pretty nifty feature if the servers flop and I'm kicked to story mode while trying to join a job. I'd hate to see that feature go away.

[@maxwellmorgan]

When you mentioned the 32 GB copy of the game, were you referring to that NoBloatV thing with Project 1.27?

[@2FrostyforU]

been waiting for this since i saw it was members only

[@mollysims1649]

Talking about the difficulty thing, Resident Evil 4 OG had it where you could pick a difficulty and then depending on your play style, how many times you die, etc, the game could become harder or easier through programming. I would like something like that in GTA6 - I know it has a specific name, but I can’t remember what it is 😂

[@ZivvyStardust]

Adaptive Difficulty!

[@jollabang9564]

I Feel like with the fact that Franklins ability is extremely popular, Plus the fact that Dead eye became a thing in RD:O, I Believe there's definitely a strong chance that we'll see special abilities become a main-stay in the franchise, Given how much of a positive thing it's been for rockstar's IP's

[@cannedyams9977]

Im not sure I understand the worries about GTA VI being too easy. GTA games have never been difficult, that’s just not the style of game they are.

[@CMWolfMagic]

There's always new way of beating maps in TrackMania, from the new games to the old ones. These maps can be decades old, and are only minutes long typically, but yet still get their record broken today. So I'm on the boat of there's so much more room for the GTAV speedruning community to go.

[@Yotes_]

6:40 I agree to such a huge degree! I thought the same about zombies on cod.

[@timeglitch2472]

The worse part of gta v and online combined is that you cant even buy or use any of the new cars without mods because R* went out of their way to put flags on the new online cars that make it so you cant use them in single player. also, what i believe they could do to help separate it is have a version downloader such that when installing the game you can choose to either download story mode, online or both. that way online isnt required for story mode. For difficultly they could do what Nintendo does. I.e make it so you can go out of your way to make missions harder via alternate path/route. or heist choices that make it harder. maybe even some hidden slider that increase or decreases the health or attributes depending on how fast or slow you go or how many times you died. that way they player thinks they are getting better and continue to play the game instead of dropping it because its too easy or too hard.

[@Gabber1110]

actually i think the gta 5 and gta online asset duplication thing has an easy fix. 3 folders: one for storing assets that are common to gta 6 and gta 6 online, one folder where only content for gta 6 story mode is there, and one folder for content exclusive to gta 6 online. now if you have both installed you dont suffer from asset duplication, and if you dont want to play one of the 2 modes you can simply have the exclusive content be deleted. (i hope someone at rockstar already implemented this idea)

[@That_Honda_Civic]

i thought the outro was still going to be in rambles, is it because its on the main channel?

[@Deryan-tv2tt]

Maybe those two cities are freaking huge to the part it justifies a bunch of forrest and nature? And we need to understand we probably don’t know about half the smaller towns and stuff. I think it will be fine honestly.

[@sarpa11]

There is open space because we have no information about those parts of the map, not because there actually is open space. As new trailers come out, the map is going to get filled.

[@RussieDear]

7:35 the point you make about having to redownload assets for downloading another game that would use those assets is a thing I think that's been solved already? Garry's Mod uses many Valve game assets that require you to have those games installed to use them IIRC, but you can technically play the game without those games installed. Pretty sure the Halo Master Chief Collection does something similar for installing the separate games? Rockstar could implement a similar system perhaps.

[@mrfixit3666]

11:30 if there is a difficulty slider perhaps have it add things like ballistic vest (like seen in Max Payne 3) that why require you to target something other than the body (or just waste ammo).

[@jebusfg214]

digging that sonic music in the intro

[@Kyle29168]

A difficulty option id want to see for GTA VI would be a driving one similar to Mafia, one for immersive driving or realism, like GTA IV, and one that is Arcady like V. Online could work like free aim and assisted aim lobbies
