Things GTA 6 Should Keep From GTA 5
The biggest thing thatGTA 6needs to keep from the predecessors is the multi-part heist missions.Grand Theft Auto 5features some of the best high-octane missionsin the series, and it makes sense to keep these heists an integral part of the experience for the next game. Since speculation suggests thatGTA 6might build upon the crime-thriller roots of the franchise, there’s a decent chance that heists make a return.
Another signature thing thatGTA 6should keep fromGTA 5and earlierGTAgames by extension is the ragdoll physics. For the uninitiated, ragdoll physics allows for free-form floating of objects and characters in the space which can result in hilarious jumps and deaths. Since the feature has gone on to become quite an iconic and hilarious part of the series, there are already many reasons to keep them in the game.
Things GTA 6 Should Drop From GTA 5
GTA 6may need to abandon some open-world tropes seen inGTA 5, the most prominent of it being a somewhat empty open world. This might sound ironic, asGTA 5’s Los Santosserves as an example for great open-world design, but it’s time that Rockstar steps it up a notch in the department. While GTA 5’s Los Santos and its outskirts may be one of the most visually impressive settings for video games, it doesn’t have much to do except the handful of side activities and the short but numerous Strangers and Freaks missions.
In addition to this,GTA 6should forgo the three-protagonist structure found inGTA 5and instead focus on a single character for the narrative. WhileGTA 5’s three protagonists proved to be a groundbreaking feature for the time, there isn’t enough room for scaling and building upon what’s already been done before. Furthermore, many fans would love Rockstar to give more thought to making the protagonist a richly realized, multi-faceted personality, as opposed to mostly stereotypical criminals fans have been playing as all along.
While nitpicky,GTA 6should forgo the many filler missions found inGTA 5. Most fans would rather rob a bank or steal some shiny cars rather than slowly towing trucks or stacking crates, which is why Rockstar should steer away from such missions. Hopes and rumors run rampant forGTA 6, and hopefully, Rockstar delivers on the long wait that fans have gone through.
Grand Theft Auto 5is out now for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. PS5 and Xbox Series X versions are launching in 2021.
