I think it's likely the world will be more destructible, but i doubt it will have this much of a  impact in the world

This is the next step coming from RDR2 to be honest. They clearly have the processing power to do this now, just look at the miracles they did with the aged PS4 and Xbox One hardware.

Axios Gaming briefly mentioning the info from their source in response to the Bloomberg article:

https://www.axios.com/newsletters/axios-gaming-013a309f-615c-4523-a506-83c884af3e01.htm

  Reveal hidden contents

It’s an ambitious project but with a scaled-down scope for launch. That tracks with information shared by a source with Axios Gaming who said an earlier plan had called for four protagonists and three cities

 

This is the only way I see them making a singleplayer update. If they introduce some huge paid dlc that would meaningfully expand both SP and Online with a new map and lots of new content.  In this case it would be a new map and 2? new protagonists for singleplayer. And something large for Online too. Kind of like a standalone game integrated into VI/GTAO.

But even so I am skeptical because Rockstar at this time can't work on more things at once. At least the evidence we have seems to suggest this. So I think after VI launches, they might move on to their next game, with VI/Online having their updates scaled down from their previous very ambitious plans that would require a lot of manpower.

I’ll never believe Jason, especially when he said that the game is in early stage of development back in 2020, now he’s saying development started back in 2014? Rockstar said their goal is to surpass previous projects, and to achieve that, the map at least need to have all kind of stuff, like desert, mountains, snow land and more. I will see GTA 6 boring if there nothing but swamps, I hope rockstar surpass them self somehow.

... or maybe just now they realized ... oh sh*t, what are we even doing here, this will not please our most beloved fans or what everyone expects from us? so they got everyone to help developing GTAVI, stopped all their other projects to bring GTAVI to the level each and everyone of us expects it to be.

I don't know what to believe anymore if I'm honest.

I would consider this to be somewhere between wishful thinking and just being deluded. SP will be D.O.A on release day, maybe 1 or 2 patches to fix bugs but they have no reason to expanded it when they know all the money is online

[17th]

if it won't have at least two cities, I won't buy it, and i will sacrifice my life to destroy R*

Official announcement will end all of this suffer, and we are very close i think

Drug running should be a big thing. Thats all.

or everything is a red herring and fake and R* will surprise us with something totally different  

Unless Schreier was in kahoots from the beginning, Take Two goons surely looked into suing him for those earlier articles and instead of him paying a million like TrustedReviews for RDR2 leak, a red herring article is how he makes amends... 

Spoiler

or alternatively R* found out who the leaker employees were and told them to tell fake info to Schreier

I mean I said that I am skeptical about it, I just said this is the only hypothetical scenario under which I can envision a singleplayer expansion. They wouldn't do a pure singleplayer expansion (we know that already), but something that would be paid and would expand both SP and MP at the same time is somewhat more realistic.

But realistically I expect no singleplayer updates and their plans for Online to be scaled down too.

One thing I hope for is more destructability within the world. So like for example I can damage a tree if I use enough force and it can collapse ... then actual workers will appear and re-build it to the initial state ... this whole thing will take several in-game days or even weeks, depending on the destruction you caused.

You know most trees irl are pretty indestructible right? Unless you’re talking about the very young trees

 

EDIT: we definitely do need more destructible stuff though

So seeing that GTAVI's story will seemingly be influenced by Bonnie & Clyde ... do you think a similar scene will appear by the end of the main story?

I think it is pretty much 'confirmed' to be Miami and surroundings at this point ... what those surroundings will be and how big this entire thing will be is to be seen of course.

i mean, people seem to believe Jason Schreier. I myself don't know the guy or have seen his previous statements. He could be totally right, but I won't believe it for 100% until Rockstar themselves reveal it. so truly, only a handful of people know. which is odd to think about to me, heheh

 

also, I wouldn't mind Miami and surroundings

Yeah this "scaled down" fearmongering stuff just sounds like things that were taken from a very early design document years ago that they probably dropped early as well - having decided to focus on only one state and 2 protagonists instead of a bunch of huge cities and 4 (?!) protagonists. Which says nothing about the true scale of the game - it could be one enormous city and surrounding area still. No one is able to characterise it until we see it.

GTA VI's map may have originally been 4 times the size of GTA V's map. If it was scaled down to half the size, it would still be twice as big as GTA V's map. So it's all relevant. We won't know until we see it.

I think he meant the game was in pre-production since 2014 and only started full development after RDR 2 was finished, meaning by around 2 years later they've gotten into the full swing of development which lines up. 2 Years of development is pretty early.

There's a difference between a man on his path to redemption and a couple of vainglorious sociopaths(unless Rockstar puts a twist on the trope, of course).

 

Hell, for all we know, that Bonnie and Clyde thing might be Jason either misunderstanding something or putting a label to enhance the excitement. Maybe in the end, the story will be as much Bonnie and Clyde as GTA V is Heat, which is little to none.

We'll have to choose who dies, that's my theory

[GRANDHEIST]

The couple does a final grand theft auto and drive off into the ocean

Or both die and we continue as michael/franklin/trevor in los santos, our first map expansion (ofc not for free and only for the gtaonline part)

[MrQuiche]

I mean it's good that Vice City and the surroundings is the only place because well guys Vice City for all of us looks like this while Liberty City and Los Santos are like at least HD, having them actually redoing it but with modern tech is good since well 2002 was a long time ago

[iSignUpEveryGTA]

Kinda hoping for the brother-sister thing over Bonnie & Clyde.

 

It just gets too corny with a couple as the protagonists.

[Scott Ransom]

I cant believe Jason Schreier would be so unprofessional and release details about the game before Rockstar have. Whats the point in NDA's if guys like Schreier brazenly just leak everything - appalling behaviour.

Come on, we need some love in GTA❤

[Americana]

I'm 100% sure that whenever there are two criminals, a man and a woman, they always compare them to Bonnie and Clyde.

It’s a lot worse: we just continue as an online character as they both die…

I gotta say I'm also not looking forward to a relationship being at the forefront of the SP story. I would have preferred if the two protagonists were just friends or siblings.

[B_E_N_1992]

As it’s stated that there will be the most interiors than any past GTA:

 

ALL fast foods restaurants should be enterable like IV, same with diners and other restaurants.

 

Hotel lobbies accessible, some with lift and stair access. Especially on the beach road area. 

 

ALL 24/7 stores open like in V.

 

ALL Gas stores open like in V.

 

Nightclubs open like from IV.

 

ALL Police stations/ Hospitals and Fire stations open.

Taxi rank enterable if inside

 

ALL Banks, at night it’s locked, but can still shoot lock on door to enter? Alarms go off.

Open Shopping malls with a variety of shops inside (Vice city had some)

All Gun shops.

There would be 100’s of different stores/resident building in between all the above, so hopefully these would have a interior but are just there to explore and rob.

 

1 City but every building is accessible somehow. None of the fake sticker window interior.

I always preferred Doc & Carol over Bonnie & Clyde, at least Doc & Carol escape with their lives and get the happy ending unlike Bonnie & Clyde. lol it also doesn't help that they're fictional characters, unlike Bonnie & Clyde sadly.
