With less than two months at the scheduled exit date for November 19, Rockstar Games is opening doors on Grand Theft Auto VI. Game Informer published its exclusive feature on Monday, interviewing key members of the development team including co-director of the studio Aaron Garbut and senior vice president of the narrative Rupert Humphries. The article fills many gaps left by the previous 27-minute Netflix look in August, especially as regards setting, gaming systems and the amount of Florida Rockstar is trying to include in the map. This is what we learned, with a brief summary of what we already knew. What we already know: The project follows Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos, a criminal couple in which players can alternate control. It is a dynamic similar to that of Bonnie and Clyde, with the responsibility to feed or break their relationship. The game returns to Vice City, the Miami interpretation of Rockstar, within the fictional state of Leonida. As already known, the game includes a slow motion target system, a moral/honour indicator in the shape of a demon head and NPC interactions similar to those present in Red Dead Redemption 2. There are also car racing, parachute jumps and a more detailed car theft system. Most of the secondary characters had already been presented, although Game Informer revealed an interesting detail: actor Stephen Root will double Brian Heder, a veteran drug dealer who assigns missions and makes Jason rent one of his properties. Leonida is the greatest world ever created by Rockstar. According to Garbut, Leonida is about twice the size of the map of GTA 5 and is much denser, with many more internal environments. Garbut described Florida's appeal as "America at Levels 11". Game Informer confirmed the six main regions of the map: Vice City, Leonida Keyes, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia and Mount Kalaga National Park. Rockstar Senior Vice President for Environmental Art, Paul MacPherson, told Game Informer that the team studied North Florida cities such as Jacksonville, Panama City and Ocala. This region promises off-road trails, a party in a muddy park, night demolitions, farms and carp fishing. Do not expect a paradox of Disney World, however. When Game Informer asked for information about the theme parks of Orlando and the coast of space and if the spaces would be included, MacPherson was limited to saying that the team had to restrict the choices and suggested that those specific places might not be present in the game. The relationship between Jason and Lucia is in your hands: As previously indicated, the management of the relationship between Jason and Lucia is not new. What is new is that Jason and Lucia always stay together, but players decide whether they remain friends or become a romantic couple. Game Informer reports that the link grows through missions and small gestures such as holding hands, opening doors, answering questions and... VERDETTO: MISTO La mappa di GTA VI, con il suo raddoppio rispetto a GTA 5 e l’ispirazione alla Florida, è un dettaglio che desta curiosità. L'idea di Leonida Keyes come una sorta di "Florida del Nord" amplificata, con sentieri fuoristrada e feste in parchi fangosi, suggerisce un tentativo di bilanciare ambizione e fattibilità. Il fatto che Rockstar eviti scenari complessi come parchi a tema o zone costiere spaziali indica una scelta precisa, quasi un compromesso tra l'apertura offerta da Vice City e la rigore tematico di altri capitoli della saga. L’inclusione di Brian Heder, lo spietato trafficante di droga interpretato da Stephen Root, aggiunge un ulteriore livello al mix, aprendo la strada a missioni e interazioni che si traducono in una possibile evoluzione del rapporto tra Duval e Caminos. Resta da vedere se questo equilibrio tra scala e gestione delle risorse si tradurrà in un'esperienza coerente e coinvolgente, ma l'approccio di Game Informer nel svelare i dettagli dell’ambientazione di Leonida sembra offrire uno sguardo promettente sul futuro di GTA VI.
