GTA 6 fans raise concerns about outdated GTA 5 features they hope won’t return in the sequel

GTA 6 fans have expressed their desire for significant changes from GTA 5, highlighting several features they hope will not be carried over. These concerns, which stem from discussions on platforms such as the r/GTA6 subreddit, reflect a common sentiment among players eagerly awaiting the next generation of the game.

Police behavior and AI

One of the biggest criticisms is the overly aggressive behavior of the police in GTA 5. Fans criticize the unrealistic way of law enforcement, which immediately recognizes minor violations and reacts with disproportionate violence. They advocate a return to the more sophisticated police AI from GTA 4 and value a balance between satire and gameplay realism.

Improved immersion vs. comfort

Another controversial topic is the first-person camera, which was introduced in the enhanced version of GTA 5. While it is praised for its immersiveness, players complain about the limited field of view and motion effects such as head nodding that can cause motion sickness. There are calls for these aspects to be improved or removed to improve gameplay comfort and realism.

Problems with character customization

Players also express frustration with characters’ autonomy in choosing their clothing. In GTA 5, protagonists often resort to default outfits, undermining players’ customization efforts. This issue is seen as potentially less problematic in GTA 6, as there are fewer protagonists and the inconsistency in clothing changes could mitigate.

Freedom in vehicle selection

Another sticking point is the lack of ability to freely select and customize main vehicles. Unlike previous titles, where players had more control over their characters’ transportation options, GTA 5’s protagonists are tied to specific vehicles that are essential to the story. Fans are calling for more vehicle customization options in GTA 6 to improve the game’s flexibility and personalization.

Crash deformation and driving realism

Finally, concerns are raised about the simplified vehicle damage system in GTA 5, which detracts from the realism and challenge of driving. Players fondly remember the more complicated crash deformation mechanics of GTA 4 and hope to see a return to this level of detail in GTA 6, improving both the driving experience and the overall immersion of the game.
