Rockstar reveals details about Leonida and the relationship between Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos

Less than two months after the launch of Grand Theft Auto VI, set for November 19, Rockstar Games opens the doors to new information. Game Informer has published its full coverage on the game Tuesday, interviewing key members of the development team including co-director Aaron Garbut studio and senior vice president of the narrative Rupert Humphries. The article fills many of the gaps left by the extensive preview of Netflix in August, especially regarding setting, game systems and the amount of Florida Rockstar is trying to insert into a single map. This is all we have learned, as well as a quick overview of what we already knew. What we had already learned The bases have long been fixed. GTA 6 follows Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, a criminal couple with which players can alternate. They're like Bonnie and Clyde, and you're responsible for growing or breaking their relationship. The game returns to Vice City, the interpretation of Miami Rockstar, within the fictional state of Leonida. Netflix’s Extended Preview Mashable Distribution covered a lot of gameplay terrain. A slow motion pointing mode, a moral or honor indicator shaped as a small demon head and NPC interactions in Red Dead Redemption 2. We also know that there will be races, parachutes, and a more detailed car theft system. Most of the support cast had already been introduced before, although the Inquirer's summary includes a funny detail: actor Stephen Root said it gives voice to Brian Heder, a drug trafficker veteran who assigns missions and allows Jason to live for free in one of his properties. Leonida is the greatest world ever created by Rockstar According to Garbut, Leonida is the largest world ever built by Rockstar. It is about double the size of the map of GTA 5 and is much denser, with many more interiors. Garbut summed up Florida’s appeal as “America Enlarged at 11.” Game Informer confirmed that the map has six main regions: Vice City, Leonida Keyes, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park. Rockstar Senior Vice President Paul MacPherson told Game Informer that the team studied North Florida cities such as Jacksonville, Panama City and Ocala. That region promises off-road routes, a party in a muddy park, night demolitions, farms and carp fishing. Don't expect a Disney World parody, though. When Game Informer asked for information about the theme parks of Orlando and the Space Coast, MacPherson was limited to confirming whether or not they would be included. He said that the team had to narrow down what monuments would make the difference and suggested that those exact locations might not be present in the game. The relationship between Jason and Lucia is in your hands Growing the relationship between Jason and Lucia, as previously stated, is not new. What is new is that Jason and Lucia remain partners, but players decide whether they remain friends or become a romantic couple. Game Informer reports that the link grows through missions and small gestures like holding hands, opening doors, responding to calls and messages promptly and accepting invitations VERDETTO: MISTO Il team di Rockstar sembra aver investito molto nello sviluppo della mappa di Leonida, con un’estensione doppia rispetto a GTA 5 e una densità ambientale che punta a ricreare l’America del Nord in maniera abbastanza fedele. L'idea di “America ingrandita all’11” è interessante e il riferimento alle città del nord della Florida – Jacksonville, Panama City, Ocala – suggerisce un’attenzione ai dettagli che potrebbe risultare molto appagante per i giocatori. La figura di Brian Heder, il veterano trafficante di droga, e il suo ruolo nell'assegnare missioni a Jason Duval, con l'opportunità di vivere gratuitamente in una delle sue proprietà, introduce dinamiche narrtive potenzialmente complesse, simili a quelle proposte da Bonnie e Clyde. Tuttavia, incertezze persistono riguardo ai parchi a tema di Orlando e alla Costa Spaziale – dettagli che potrebbero fare la differenza nell’esperienza complessiva, e resta da vedere quanto le differenze tra il nord della Florida e l'ambientazione originale del gioco influenzeranno l'immersione.
