My predictions for GTA 6’s Extended Look on August 27th:
- ~15 minutes long, commentated by the same lady who did RDR2 and GTA 5’s gameplay previews
- The game will look and feel like Red Dead 2 on steroids, NOT GTA 5. I think GTA 6 will have a giant focus on immersion and feeling grounded far more than GTA 5
- Will show a significant amount of gameplay, I’m thinking RDR2’s gameplay trailers part 1 + 2 combined into one video
- Gameplay & Mission design criticisms will be directly addressed, showing off GTA 6 will have far more open mission structure similar to recent GTAO content
- Gunplay will be massively improved and no longer rely on auto-aim, I am thinking much closer to Max Payne 3 than RDR2
- There will definitely be an open world section, showing off how the game has a high amount of enterable buildings, showing off some of the north sections of the map that we’ve not seen too.
- Basketball as a playable sport will definitely be shown off alongside others since we’ve seen Jason play it in a screenshot
- The first few minutes will be dedicated to story details, explaining the general set-up (likely showing off clips from the prologue) and how Jason and Lucia meet similar to how RDR2’s gameplay explained the story first
- Gym and weight system from GTA San Andreas will hopefully return and be shown off
- Greet/Antagonize which we saw in the leaks will definitely get a major focus, and how they improved it over Red Dead 2
- I think the reason its on Netflix is because it will be structured like a GTA 6 documentary, each section will explore a different aspect of the game and be presented in a cinematic format. I don’t think there will be developer interviews
- It will blow everyone away with just how much content there is, it’ll make GTA 5 look like a small game especially in its open world activities. Bigger and denser than RDR2, while being an even more fun and polished game
- GTA Online won’t be mentioned but I do think they will have some significant surprises to show about the game in some way
With just a little over 2 weeks to go, I am definitely excited to look back on this and see how much I got wrong/correct. What are your predictions?
