Grand Theft Auto Online Update Teases GTA 6
Rockstar Games blatantly teases Grand Theft Auto 6 in the latest update for the online multiplayer game GTA Online.
While a previous leak provided insights into the duration of GTA 6's development process, a recent report from Rockstar Mag indicates that the visual experience in the upcoming game will surpass all of Rockstar's previous endeavors. The report highlights significant improvements in vehicle physics, attributed to a substantial increase in polygon count compared to GTA 5. This promises more precise deformations, resulting in a more realistic depiction of accidents within the game world.
Furthermore, Grand Theft Auto 6 is expected to introduce substantial advancements in water physics and lighting. These enhancements will culminate in the form of a comprehensive weather system, which will impact the game world in various ways. For example, storms will make driving more challenging, with gusts damaging vegetation and creating disruptive waves on beaches. Rain and wind will affect vehicle handling at high speeds, while sunrises, sunsets, and nights will feature enhanced realism, promising a more immersive gaming experience.
While only time will reveal how Grand Theft Auto 6 stacks up against its predecessors, the game is still awaiting an official trailer and release date, leaving fans in eager anticipation. However, in August, Take-Two Interactive provided a strong indication that Grand Theft Auto 6 is slated for release within the next 20 months, adding fuel to the already burning excitement. Moreover, a rumor in September circulated online, claiming that Grand Theft Auto 6 might retail for $150, a price significantly higher than that of most contemporary games.
