GTA 6 to Feature More Complex Chases and Character Reactions to Smells
On November 19, GTA 6 will launch on PS5 and Xbox Series, with the game's events unfolding in the state of Leonida, featuring a meticulously crafted open world.
The Edge magazine has published new details about GTA 6 following a demonstration of the game at Rockstar North. Developers showcased how the open-world systems interact, including the behavior of pedestrians and the pursuit of criminals.
Police will take into account information gathered about the protagonists: appearance, clothing, weapons, camera footage, and the presence of an accomplice. To make identification harder, players will be able to change clothes, dispose of weapons, or separate from their partner. Escaping will require more effort than simply waiting out the manhunt.
Carjacking will also become less predictable. Some drivers will prefer to flee, while others may be armed and fight back.
Another detail is characters' reactions to unpleasant odors. Initially, this behavior was created for a specific episode but was later expanded to other situations. For example, Jason may grimace upon entering a dirty house without a scripted scene.
Pedestrians will also react to the player's behavior. During the demonstration, Jason's intense stare provoked an aggressive dog owner, who then unleashed their dog. Such encounters are intended to make exploring the world less predictable.
