While fans are waiting for the release of GTA 6, they are mainly discussing things on social media or in forums. Some of the players are raising interesting questions that fans and developers should think about.
When it comes to spending the time waiting for a game to be released, internet communities often get pretty creative. With GTA 6, too, fans have been thinking a lot, putting forward theories or drawing comparisons. Recently, for example, they did this to determine that the gaps between News about GTA 6 are frighteningly long. However, it is not always about putting the finger on a sore spot: sometimes fans are quite creative when it comes to raising questions.
GTA: What happens if you get shot on the beach?
A Reddit user asked a question that, if you look closely, is quite important: What happens in GTA 6 if you pull out your gun on the beach or even fire one or more shots? Anyone who remembers the beach scene from the first trailer for GTA 6 will probably sit up and take notice. There you can see countless NPC characters going about their daily lives in the sun - in completely different positions.
So does mass panic break out when you start shooting wildly? Do the NPCs react as you would expect in real life and run away in all directions? Or does little to nothing happen when such dangerous situations arise?
For reasons of immersion, Rockstar Games should also ask themselves such questions. The simulated world would be completely implausible if NPCs did not react appropriately to initiated shootings. The question of the perimeter would also be relevant, because panic situations spread in waves, gradually involving more and more characters.
With GTA 6 and the densely populated game world, there is also a technical question: will the engine be able to make the NPCs act as realistically as possible when dangers suddenly arise? In the case of the beach example, non-playable characters would have to be pulled out of completely different positions and animated accordingly. There are many considerations behind what is actually a simple question.

Other fans ask more specific questions, such as the factions represented in the game. Gangs and bikers are particularly popular content. The Angels of Death or the Uptown Riders could appear, as could Lost MC. However, it might not stop there, because fans also expect new things from Grand Theft Auto 6. So one of the smaller questions is: How will Rockstar Games deal with the gangs? And above all: Will there be new biker groups, for example?
Other players are already thinking about the size of the world. How long will it take to completely cross Vice City and Leonida State? The route from the southern tip to the northern edge could well require a longer hike. Many fans are already joking that there will be videos shortly after the release that will explore this very question after the hike. In the course of the discussions, players say that rumors have it that the entire map will not be available as a play area at launch. So that too remains to be seen and is a very interesting thought experiment that you only become aware of when you follow the ideas and questions of the GTA 6 community.
Other fans go into detail and ask very specific questions: for example, about the military vehicles and aircraft available in GTA 6. Fans of such special content could well be able to indulge their passion in the new part as well.
Some fans also noticed the variety of women's haircuts that can be seen in the trailer. Against this background, we raise the question of whether this wide range of styles is being used because Rockstar Games is woven a GTA game around a female main character for the first time. The idea - as simple as it may seem at first - is certainly relevant, because with the new, more feminine approach, the developers could make important socio-political messages part of the game, perhaps even the story.
There are even players who are already worried about the length of the GTA 6 story. They fear that the story can be played through too quickly. Others are dismissive, expecting epic storylines, and are already recommending that players take on all the side missions to get to know the really weird storylines.
Ultimately, fans still have to be patient, because how Rockstar Games will ultimately implement various parts of GTA 6 will only be known when there is reliable information, such as a new trailer.
