Grand Theft Auto 6, the game expected by many gamers on consoles or computers, will be seriously inspired by the Narcos series of Netflix. Grand Theft Auto 6 has the code name "project americas", and this probably comes from the fact that the story is seriously inspired by the drug world of South America.
Grand Theft Auto 6 it will have missions that are inspired by the life stories of Colombian drug traffickers, which will make it very interesting. It seems that in Grand Theft Auto 6 we will also hear a lot of Spanish, plus its derivatives, because the characters will speak in their native languages in many of the missions.
Grand Theft Auto 6 it was in the development process in 2012, when Grand Theft Auto 5 was released, but only in 2015 was serious attention directed towards it. The action of Grand Theft Auto 6 will take place in the 1970s, 1980s, the main character being Ricardo, and we will follow his life story, up to the position of "don" of a cartel.
Here are all the details revealed about Grand Theft Auto 6 by a person who talked to people working on its development:
- "The next GTA title has been in development since 2012 (1 year before GTA 5 launched). Production didn't actually pick up properly until mid 2015. Even then it was on ice while the teams focused on RDR2.
- It's another Rockstar Worldwide Production, not just one or two studios, but all.
- Codename is PROJECT AMERICAS.
- Set in both Vice City and a new fictional location based on Rio de Janeiro, with some linear missions taking place in Liberty City (not open world), think Ludendorff in GTAV. Also been recently hearing about Cuba but I'm not sure?
- Game will balance realism and arcade. WON'T be as realistic as RDR2.
- One playable protagonist this time. Male, not female, despite supposed leaks.
- Set in the 1970s-1980s.
- You play as an up and coming drug lord-wannabe named "Ricardo". Another key character called "Kacey" is a part of the narrative. You start off as a grunt doing runs as a cocaine smuggler from Vice City to the new large South American area before making connections with big time drug lords and making your way up. Multiple cities. There will also be a GIANT prison which will play a part in the game.
- Will feature a "CHAPTER" system similar to a Tarantino flick or RDR2.
- Weather is a heavy focus. Hurricanes, floods, etc.
- Buildings change over the eras, vehicles too. This causes headaches apparently but they managed to nail a pipeline and get it working. So older, rare classic cars get more expensive as time progresses, etc. Full economy. Next level.
- HEAVILY inspired by Netflix's Narcos.
- They want to have an incredible 70s/80s soundtrack, but the jury is still out on that one.
- A younger Martin Madrazo will make an appearance as will his father who is a big drug lord at the time. You do some missions for the Madrazo family involving hits on other gangs.
- Drug empire building is a mechanic similar to Vice City Stories but bigger. MUCH bigger. Think the GTAOnline system and dial it up to 10. There you have it.
- You can only have weapons on your person. No arsenal in your back pocket. Think RDR2 and Max Payne 3.
- Your personal vehicle (similar to GTA5 but can now change it) will be like your horse saddle in RDR2. All your equipment is stored in the trunk. Similar to LA Noire. You also store your body armor in the car. If you wear it, it appears, no longer just an invisible thing lol.
- There will be tons of subtitle reading. Think Max Payne 3 amounts. Because the characters speak the language they're native to. Very immersive. Like watching an episode of Narcos. Whenever you're in South America, don't expect to hear much English. Vice City, however, is a mix of everything. Mostly English though.
- Last bit of narrative info, it will discuss topics such as HIV and the immigration crisis of the time. A fictional version of Fidel Castro etc. Although I'll be PISSED if our protagonist dies from AIDS or some shit like Arthur died of TB?
- Next Gen only. Not PS4/XB1.
- Game is now their primary focus, alongside another title (which I believe to be Bully 2).
- Game is still in Pre-Alpha so names, locations, details could and probably will change.
- No ETA on a release date.”
