EDGE
- Edge watched an unscripted 90-minute play through from Rob Nelson at Rockstar North’s Edinburgh HQ
- Leonida’s map opens up relatively early, allowing players to head north and explore without having to follow the story. R* has accommodated those who prefer discovering places to ticking off missions.
- Jason, like Lucia, took “a long time” to cast
- Once in control of Jason (Rob Nelson was playing) Jason has a stamina-boosting cup of coffee and a health-buffing protein shake
- Aaron Garbut, Co-Studio Head, says that even after ‘literally years spent exploring increasingly dense versions of the game’ that he is still ‘encountering locations he had not seen previously’.
- Rockstar had originally created a character reaction to an unpleasant smell for a particular piece of explorable content. Recently, the developers decided to turn it into a broader system, allowing other locations to provoke varying degrees of disgust.
- In Edge’s play through, when Jason enters a house that has been fouled by a dog, he begins to grimace and recoil, despite no bespoke scene having been written for it
- There was a moment where two police left their vehicles unattended while making an arrest. Jason walks up to the boot, pulls a shotgun out and walks away.
- In 2015 Nelson led a small group travelling to Miami to consider what a return to Vice City might look and feel like, identifying locations and aspects of Florida culture for larger research teams to explore later
- The brisk day-night cycle of the previous game has been extended substantially. Sunsets now linger and nights stretch out, providing a broader canvas for whatever you hope to accomplish under cover of darkness
- Cloud systems move independently in GTA 6, shaped by wind, humidity, fog, time of day and season - we can’t recall hearing that word used before
- Jason and Lucia are bound together by an emotional history as well as a professional one. Their closeness is measured by a four-point scale.
- You can define the closeness and intimacy of Jason and Lucia’s relationship, perhaps even its legal status (Nelson refused to confirm or deny if the pair can marry)
- Cars can drive for a long distance before running low on fuel, and refuelling is a quick diversion, but it’s another system that requires a little thought and management
- Your entire arsenal is stashed in the boot of the car. So accessing weapons is a relatively quick process. Call Scooter Brothers and they’ll deliver your car to you before riding away on a scooter
- On Jason and Lucia: “We start with them wanting to be together, and wanting to give this relationship of theirs another shot”, says Nelson.
- A group of youths in a customised 4x4 with purple under glow pulled alongside while driving. They wind down the window, taunting and challenging him (Nelson) to a race. He initially ignores them. They persist until, in effect, he is bullied into accepting. The 4x4 races off and its passenger climbs halfway out of the window and perches on the door frame screaming insults back into the wind.
- Phil Hooker, Head of Development, confirms the game has a ‘fully functioning bus and train system” and says he now spends much of his time waiting for buses: checking they arrive when expected, then riding them across Leonida.
- Rockstar works in roughly six-to-eight-week milestones, concentrating on discrete areas for stabilising a build and playing it intensively
- Players can carry two concealed handguns and smaller items but must retrieve larger weapons from their vehicle boots or ammu-nation lockers. The restriction lets players dress normally
- GTA VI’s story and themes might be moving on from the usual ‘rags to riches’ tale.
- “These games, maybe some people think, ‘Oh, they’re power fantasies’,” Nelson says. “Sure. But what if these characters want something else?”
- “The question is no longer simply how much you can take from the world, but what kind of life you are trying to build inside of it”, Edge notes.
- On reaching the end of GTA 6’s development: “I feel like we’ve built a pyramid on Everest.”, says Garbut.
- The 16-page feature ends on a philosophical note. “It’s ready,” he <Nelson> says. “It ceases to become ours, and it becomes everybody’s.
