HUGE number of new details about GTA 6 from previewers who saw 3+ hours of gameplay at Rockstar North. This is going to be game of the decade.

Here are the highlights:

- Rockstar says the scale of the game is unlike anything they have made before.

- The map is twice as big as GTA 5's and three times bigger than Red Dead 2's map

- GTA 6 does away entirely with the auto-aim system, now using a manual aiming system with aim-assist

- Vice City itself is reportedly twice the size of Los Santos.

- The biggest difference compared with GTA 5 is that GTA 6 constantly forces the player to make decisions and consider consequences rather than simply causing chaos without much thought.

- Actions apparently carry significantly more consequences than they did in previous GTA games.

- Rob Nelson reportedly explained that even something as basic as stealing a vehicle now involves assessing risk: carjacking someone may lead to witnesses/police trouble, while stealing an unattended parked vehicle might let you escape cleanly.

- Rockstar's intention appears to be to make the player think more like an actual criminal, rather than treating crime as consequence-free sandbox chaos.

- Criminal Profile system, NOT honor: Rockstar reportedly stresses that having a low Criminal Profile does not necessarily mean you're playing incorrectly.
Instead, the system seems to evaluate how you behave as a criminal.

- Robbing a store successfully without killing anybody and escaping cleanly can raises your Criminal Profile because you committed the crime professionally. while excessive violence lowers it.

- There apparently isn't a traditional Criminal Profile meter constantly displayed on-screen. Instead, Jason and Lucia have profile information accessible through a dedicated menu tab.

- Your criminal profile can be permanently ruined after specific actions

- Jason & Lucia have a relationship bar that can be influenced by how they treat each other through your own actions, like texting each other things or going out on dates
Focus

- Focus ability which we saw in the gameplay preview is the third major stat, similar to deadeye, it slows down time for both Jason and Lucia plus highlights valuable components of vehicles and enemy weak points
Focus is GTA 6's third major character ability/stat.
It is somewhat similar to Dead Eye and Michael's GTA V special ability, but reportedly works differently.

- Cars do require fuel, and electric cars require charging. Rockstar designed these to not be tedious

- Cash you are carrying can be lost after being arrested or dying and has to be stashed or put into an ATM, you cannot just use the phone for this.

- Fences can be visited to sell off loot from robberies, similar to Red Dead 2's fences

- Driving is reportedly heavier and less arcade-like than GTA V, feeling more like a mid-point between GTA 4 and 5

- Police no longer appear directly on the minimap and you have to use your own eyes to avoid them

- At six stars, police search across the entire map for you rather than designated search areas

- Police are reportedly considerably smarter than GTA V, Officers can intentionally shoot your vehicle's tires.

- Police can remember your appearance, car and clothes. You may have to change these in order to lose your wanted level.

- There are trackers on vehicles that need to be removed through progression with fences, or use older cars that don't have trackers

- GTA 6 reportedly contains a full in-game social media system and NPCs post content to the social network, it is part of the living world and you can see events on there then go and visit them in person

- Gyms are back from GTA San Andreas, you now have to purchase a subscription and can train for muscles. you can even buy protein shakes to boost that before workouts

- Buses and Taxis can be used for fast travel

@JCMacriNBA I wanted to say congrats, but it seems to neglect your agency in making this happen. Instead, I'll just say that I'm so happy for you and so impressed by what KFS has become. Long-time listener from Sweden, and I'm just grateful for the community that KFS offers me and others.

I think the most disappointing thing about Alexander Isak forcing his move to Liverpool is that he’s disrespected his very own legacy at Newcastle United.
The pin up boy, every young fan’s favourite player and the man that scored the winning goal to end a 70 year trophy drought. He was a club legend and could do no wrong.
But this summer, he did. He’s essentially thrown those three years away, as if he had very little or no respect for the bonds he had built and the things he himself had achieved. It’s a quite incredible fall from grace for someone who had written their name into club folklore #NUFC #LFC

However the Alexander Isak saga eventually concludes, let’s hope that at some point the player has the good grace to acknowledge the debt he owes Eddie Howe for helping his development into one of the best players in the world and also apologises for causing such chaos.

It’s one thing a player wanting to leave – ambition, short career, levels, finance whatever – but it’s the aggressive way that Isak tries to force his way out - midway through a six-year contract - that also causes such anger on Tyneside. In the middle of this maelstrom, Howe shows commendable calm and patience.

Newcastle’s head coach is being strong, demanding standards of behaviour, yet diplomatically leaving the dressing-room door open in case Liverpool don’t make an acceptable offer (£130m+) and Isak does stay.

Howe deserves huge respect for the dignified, intelligent way he’s handling a damaging distraction. He's trying to prepare his team for what should be an exciting season not knowing who will form his attack, and currently fielding a wide player in Anthony Gordon centrally. He’s dealing with a troublesome transfer window without a sporting director or chief executive.

He’s going into press conferences knowing they will be dominated by questions about a striking striker. In the modern media, and social media, age, Howe has to choose every word carefully, knowing they will be scrutinised forensically and emotionally. He has to pick the right words to send the right message to Isak, to the other players, to potential signings, and to the Newcastle faithful outraged by Isak’s behaviour. Newcastle’s board are fortunate they have such an impressive figure fronting up for them and the club.

Howe also deserves more respect and gratitude from Isak. Since joining in 2022, Isak’s improvement from a very good £63m 22-year-old into an elite performer worth £130m+ is obviously largely down to his own ability and inner drive but Howe deserves huge credit. He makes good players even better.

His coaching, man-management and building a system to bring the best out of Isak helped turn the Swede into a player coveted by Liverpool. Let’s hope Isak respects that one day. #NUFC

Looking like defeat in the final unless we stage a huge comeback.

Vote for Shearer and RT! #NUFC

[Toon Polls @ToonPolls]

This is now 50/50 and they have the momentum.

Don’t care if you’ve already RT’d earlier.

We need you again.

One big effort to get us through the night.

@NBA_NewYork @VinceGoodwill Who do we think is the player who wouldn't have wanted to play for Thibs? Is Bridges a lock? Obvious no: JB, Hart, Deuce, Mitch. Doubt that it's KAT or OG.
