10 days to GTA 6: a weapon wheel, a slow-motion kill cam, and shop owners who shoot back
Ten days out. Today's confirmed fact: how combat works. Cover-based third-person free aim, a weapon wheel, a game-triggered kill cam that highlights weak points, and shopkeepers who fight back.
Ten days. Double figures for one more day. Take-Two also reports its quarterly results this evening, the last official financial update before launch. We will cover anything it says about GTA 6 once the results are out.
Today's fact: how fights work.
Confirmed
The Extended Look showed:
- Third-person free aim, cover-based, with a weapon wheel. We covered the wheel in detail in does GTA 6 have a weapon wheel.
- A slow-motion kill cam that the game triggers, highlighting weak points.
- Shop owners who shoot back, which changes what a robbery is.
- A timed gun-range challenge as a side activity.
- Melee from Lucia escaping a man with a stiletto heel to a backyard wrestling ring in Port Gellhorn.
Police are not marked on the minimap; a Focus mode is how you spot them. Shooting out a pursuing cruiser's tyres can flip it.
Our guess
Shopkeepers who fight back are the detail to watch. In GTA V a store robbery was a free cash machine. If the person behind the counter can be the most dangerous thing in the room, small jobs stop being trivial, which fits a game whose premise is an easy score going wrong.
