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.

[@DarkSpaceStudios]

That's a good point! I need to remember that before talking about that anymore.

[@RomeinG.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.

[@deltav2090]

GTA IV's map was smaller than SA but it felt so huge Now imagine GTA VI

[@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

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

[@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.

[@DaneSauceCity]

When you named all the type of buildings around 4:50 and when you said mall, imagine being able to go inside a whole working mall with interactive stores to get clothes and stuff. Maybe get cheap jewelry from the people in the middle of the walkways. Idk a mall would be dope

[@klisurovi4]

Saints Row 2 did that 15 years ago. Even Vice City kinda had it back in 2002 altho not all that interactive. It's honestly crazy we haven't seen a mall in a modern GTA game

6:24 "OTHER STATES IN THE SOUTHEAST" probably Alabama, South Carolina and Georgia

That excites me bc that means we might get R*s rendition of Atlanta, a city we haven't seen before in GTA. Im aware it was in MC3 and the partial inspiration for Cottonmouth in Manhunt 2.

[@ad1t-384]

Maybe a mission takes place outside of Leonida? Similar to Gta 5 North Yankton. I would love to see Atlanta and other cities in the southern states in the Gta universe

[@t.siddik2484]

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.

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.

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.

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
