Even with all the titles coming out this year and the next, Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 6 remains at the top of many wishlists. After the first reveal trailer, fans are desperate for any morsel of new information that the developer could provide.

Set in modern-day Vice City and featuring two new protagonists, Lucia and Jason, Grand Theft Auto 6 seemingly pushes the boundaries of realism further than ever.

However, given some concerns about realism in previous titles and how the attention to detail may be too excessive, will that hamper the sequel? Is it possible to deliver an experience that's too realistic?

Furthermore, can it apply to such a scale in the long term? Time will tell, but for now, let's discuss why an even more realistic approach is perhaps the best way that Rockstar can go about things - and one of the charms of its titles overall.

  • As long as I don’t have to take a poop before a robbery I’m good with whatever.

    I'm almost 70 years old. I hope I live long enough to see the release of GTA VI.

    Its so weird hearing "I remember my first time playing GTA5..." because it hits me every time that it came out 11 years ago and it only seems like yesterday to me. Combine that with the fact that there was only five years between GTA4 and GTA5, yet that felt like an eternity, and the fact that from 2013 to now was 11 years and the equivalent of that then was 2002 and my brain starts to spin. 😆

    I don’t mind them going for realism as long as it doesn’t compromise the rhythm of the gameplay. That’s important, it needs to be constantly engaging.

    The more realistic the better. I'm sick of cartoon graphics in games.
  • Nothing is too realistic. Realistic games are what I look for. If I can’t become immersed or if I feel like I’m in an arcade/video game I can’t play it. Obviously it’s a video game but I have to have connection. Speaking for myself.

    I have no problem with the realism but I hope they update the controls. I don't want to mash "A" to sprint anymore.

    I hope Gta 6 brings back some better fighting moves. The fight system in 5 was a bit lack luster compared to Gta 4.
  • Judgement reserved for when I get to play and control it in real time. Trailers and cutscenes are a good indicator but the real review of a great game is still when you are able to play and control your character in real time.

    Anyone who complained about the "realism" of RDR2 should just stick to fortnite or fallguys.
  • @nicks288
    I want the gameplay to be like RDR2. I kind of get the complaints about the gameplay but I absolutely loved it. Would love that in GTA.

  • I was born and raised in Miami (the city Vice City is modeled after). The GTA 6 trailer was so realistic and so nailed the city, that I swore I could see friends of mine in it. I don't think I've ever seen anything that captured the spirit of Miami so well. I'm really looking forward to playing it.
  • Gta give many people in this world who are all running on limited mortality time a chance to experience life absurdity and realism before death arrive. This is quite important if i think on it. Because people lives won't be live in vain. The problem with our real world right now is though we are born in it we cannot freely live and explore it. Work, sociology,bills and life responsibilities took away too much time and energy from too many of us and we know nothing much of this wprld except the miseries in it. Virtual simulation of a real world provide a bit of respite out of this life tragedy.

    As long as the blood and gore is amazing, and as long as there is a police mode, then we're all set. Oh, and some nice new ragdoll physics!
