Rockstar Says It’s ‘a Very Big Map’
Key Points:
- Rockstar North confirms that GTA 6 will feature a very large and densely populated open world, similar in scale and depth to Red Dead Redemption 2 but even more expansive.
- The game leverages the advanced hardware of current-generation consoles to create a fully realized, immersive world with emergent exploration and numerous distractions beyond main objectives.
- Significant improvements have been made to NPC diversity, including varied body shapes, heights, and animations, enabled by new technology that retargets animations dynamically for realistic interactions.
- The development team emphasized taking the necessary time and using advanced tools to maximize the quality, complexity, and population density of the game world, aiming to create a magical and alive environment.
