GTA 6 Is So Detailed, Rockstar Had To Make Its World Slower Than GTA 5′s To Accommodate It

With Rockstar Games finally pulling back the curtain on Grand Theft Auto 6 via interviews and hands-off previews, small chunks of new information are trickling out that paint a clearer picture of this latest entry in the series.

We already know how big the world is going to be and the Bonnie and Clyde-esque dynamics between its leading characters, but Rockstar also claims that attention to detail required the company to implement a radical shift to the pace of life in its world in order to maintain the illusion of realism. With the game’s visuals now more true-to-life, the company says it felt compelled to slow things down in order to maintain the immersion of Vice City.

In a new interview with EDGE magazine, co-head of Rockstar North and head of development Rob Nelson discusses how the company visited Miami on numerous occasions, cataloging specific aspects of the city and the culture for Rockstar to further research. After rebuilding Vice City based on these excursions and the subsequent research, the company tested the world with the same time-and-day systems and gameplay speed as GTA5, but something felt off.

“Everything felt too fast,” Nelson explained. “As the resolution of the worlds goes up, I think there are things you can’t get away with in the same way. If you want a pedestrian population to behave believably, and you can stand in front of them and produce an automatic shotgun out of nowhere and they don’t react, then that doesn’t work.
