It’s unsurprising that fans might look to other crime sandbox games when deciding what they want fromGTA 6. Reddit user trumoomilkboi chose to look at Ubisoft’sWatchdogs 2and came up with a slideshow of five features that would begood to have inGrand Theft Auto 6. The ideas included calling the police on NPCs, better hiding in vehicles, an improved map, always showing cops on the mini-map, and a mobile radio. Not all these suggestions were met with unanimous agreement from the community, but they bring up a few things that Rockstar Games should consider forGTA 6.
As trumoomilkboi pointed out,Watch Dogs 2’s Marcus can hack into the police database to create false arrest warrants for NPCs. They think a similar ability inGTA 6would be great for distractions or inciting combat between enemy gangs and the police. The poster suggested that Rockstar could introduce a “man in the chair” support NPC like Lester fromGTA 5, thoughGTA 6’s Lucia or Jasonmaking an anonymous call from a burner phone could serve just as well.
That was the most significant new mechanic, with trumoomilkboi’s other ideas being improvements to existing features. WhileGrand Theft Auto 5characterscan hide in their car, all they really do is hunch down behind the wheel, which trumoomilkboi thinks looks silly and unrealistic. TheWatch Dogs 2version is more believable, with Marcus turning off the car, sitting low in his seat, and leaning away from the window.
He also prefersWatch Dogs 2’s more colorful, Google Maps-inspired map and how its mini-map always shows nearby police.GTA 5’s mini-map only shows cops when the player has a wanted level, but theWatch Dogs 2approach makes it easy for players to avoid confrontations altogether. Finally, with the new gameexpected to take place in the modern day instead ofVice City’s 1980s, there’s no reasonGrant Theft Auto 6characterscan’t play music on their phone instead of needing a car’s radio.
