10 Big Improvements GTA 6 Needs to Reinvigorate the Franchise

After nearly a decade of enjoying Grand Theft Auto 5 and its many re-releases, the hype for the subsequent entry is at a fever pitch. When GTA VI releases the sport will probably change into one of many greatest leisure launches in historical past, similar to earlier entries. Nevertheless, if Rockstar intends to impress players as soon as once more, they’ll have to make these 10 huge enhancements to keep away from letting down players the identical manner that current triple-A titles have.

Focus the Narrative Once more

Grand Theft Auto 5 broke new floor for the collection by crafting a story that includes the three playable characters; Micheal, Trevor, and Franklin. Every character felt distinct and fascinating of their manner. Nevertheless, the story is instructed from three views making the sport’s general themes appear convoluted to a sure extent.

In Red Dead Redemption 2 it’s arguably simpler to grasp the motivations of Arthur Morgan together with the course that the writers took the story. In the meantime, many missions and plot factors in GTA 5 felt like easy excuses for main set items. Hopefully Rockstar can provide gamers the identical the extent of immersion and connection that many gamers felt with Arthur Morgan.

Enhance the Gunplay

Rockstar is similar firm that developed and revealed Max Payne 3 which has a number of the smoothest gunplay in any third-person shooter even after 10 years of being in the marketplace. So for that reason, it’s baffling that the majority Rockstar titles are objectively much less enjoyable to play compared to different shooters.

There are two doable explanations for this unusual phenomenon. One motive could also be that Rockstar values realism and immersion above the rest and all of their playable characters have to maneuver in lifelike methods in contrast to the frequent protagonist of a Name of Responsibility sport. One more reason is that Rockstar desires to compensate for his or her lifelike motion by giving informal gamers the possibility to successfully take out enemies with ease. With the subsequent entry it might be good to expertise smoother gunplay that challenges the participant.

Give Which means to Cash

The pursuit of cash is one thing that’s a driving drive for the narratives of most GTA video games. Because of this, it’s considerably ironic that midway by most titles cash turns into irrelevant for many gamers. Whether or not a participant steals the automobiles they need or buys all of the weapons they want, cash finally turns into a random quantity within the high proper of the nook for many gamers. The subsequent entry has the possibility to make the participant actually worth each greenback they earn by illicit means.

Possibly have a everlasting well being improve related to cash or have a system in place that makes it crucial that you just learn to handle your cash for the general advantage of your character. After all, gamers shouldn’t must change into accountants to succeed on the sport, however it might be fascinating to see if Rockstar can shake issues up.

Improve Participant Interplay

A minor and main function of Red Dead Redemption 2 was the dialogue system that allow gamers discuss to each NPC within the sport. After all, gamers couldn’t have Mass Impact-style conversations with each NPC however gamers obtained the possibility to precise themselves and be taught extra concerning the characters of RDR 2. If Rockstar may construct off of this method they’ve the chance to doubtlessly make GTA 6 one of the immersive video games ever launched. Not solely that however Rockstar may additionally go the additional mile and permit gamers to enter much more buildings inside no matter metropolis they resolve to go to within the subsequent launch.

Make GTA: On-line Accessible

Have you ever tried enjoying Grand Theft Auto: Online in 2023? Whether or not new or previous, gamers are bombarded by tons of content material that’s both complicated to navigate to or requires tons of grinding simply to expertise. And whereas having tons of content material updates is what retains GTA: On-line round, Rockstar can do a greater job of updating sure techniques throughout the sport.

For instance, most gamers are aggressively pushed to purchase microtransactions and the sport preys on gamers with restricted time who wish to expertise the newest updates. It is a far cry from the times of the multiplayer of Grand Theft Auto 4 the place gamers merely had the whole lot of Liberty Metropolis at their fingertips.

Now gamers must deal with the net portion as a second job to really feel a way of satisfaction. After all, Rockstar will most likely proceed down this path as a result of its success however hopefully, the subsequent iteration of GTA: On-line can concentrate on offering a enjoyable expertise as a substitute of a very grindy one.

Publish-Launch Expansions

Do you understand the final time we obtained an growth was GTA IV, a 12 months after its launch? GTA V didn’t get a single growth. If you wish to expertise any type of new GTA content material, it’s a must to play GTA On-line, and which means coping with the sport’s exhausting grind.

No, what we’d like is one thing akin to Purple Lifeless Redemption’s Undead Nightmare and GTA IV: The Misplaced and Damned. It’d be an incredible alternative to discover characters additional, new content material, one other marketing campaign, and add some longevity to the primary sport general. Not each fan desires to play GTA On-line, you understand? And go wild with the content material, too, just like the Undead Nightmare growth did with zombies!

Customizable Participant Homes

In some unspecified time in the future in Grand Theft Auto, you’ve got a lot cash you don’t even know what to do with it. With tens of millions within the financial institution, you’ll have lots for stocking up on ammo, automobiles, and participant housing. Other than weapons and autos, what’s the purpose of shopping for different homes? It’s nothing greater than a cash sink.

This may be simply rectified in GTA VI if we may furnish our home or, on the very least, be capable of buy totally different themes. Customization is a tad fundamental in GTA V, so it’d be a breath of contemporary air if we may alter extra than simply our character and automobile.

Extra Immersive NPC AI

Whereas the NPCs in Starfield don’t react to you letting off a number of rounds on the town, those in GTA V definitely do. They may take off in worry and even pull out a gun themselves, however let’s be trustworthy, quite a lot of the time NPCs could be downright dumb. Their driving is a selected blind spot, particularly the cops, which you’ll be able to so simply exploit. What GTA VI wants are extra reactive NPCs and variation.

For instance, why not implement citizen’s arrest? Should you’re terrorizing a bunch of oldsters, possibly somebody decides to take issues into their very own fingers and also you get busted. I’d additionally prefer to see police use extra aggressive driving strategies, too. Watching cops ramp the again in an effort to throw me off stability is an effective begin, however it’s nonetheless straightforward to outrun and outmaneuver the police with even fundamental driving expertise.

Native Multiplayer

No matter occurred to native multiplayer? It was such a enjoyable function in GTA: San Andreas, however was by no means revisited once more. It wouldn’t even must be split-screen or essentially fleshed out. I simply need to have the ability to wreak havoc on individuals with a buddy with out resorting to GTA On-line or taking turns. Possibly throw in a number of aspect missions which might be split-screen solely. Please, Rockstar?

Deliver Again Turf Warfare Mechanics

Talking of San Andreas, the most effective options that entry had was turf warfare. Should you drove round city, you’ll shortly discover there are a number of roving gangs, denoted by their matching colours. In your map, you could possibly see which gang owned which sections and, for those who have been feeling daring, you could possibly overthrow them with your individual gang. It was an superior mechanic that wasn’t simply enjoyable, however it performed into the entire theme of San Andreas.

We may significantly use one thing comparable in GTA VI. It wouldn’t must be gangs particularly—let that be distinctive to San Andreas. Nevertheless, there’s little doubt we’re doing unlawful stuff within the subsequent installment, so why not deliver that function again in a unique mild? Maybe you’re increasing a felony group and, in an effort to offer a function, possibly sure missions and aspect missions are solely obtainable when you’ve seized sufficient land.
