335 days til we play GTA 6 & I’m so excited to meet Brian Heder, Jason’s friend.

He seems like an interesting character that will deliver some good laughs & fun storylines.

But more than anything he’s the side character (that we know of so far) that I’m most excited for.

Because he seems to be played by Stephen Root (unconfirmed) who I love in the tv show Barry that was on HBO. Fantastic dark comedy show. He seems to be playing a similar character (from the small bit we know) in GTA 6, and I just know he’s gonna bring so much to the performance of this character.

This image that includes him has gotta be the most insanely photo realistic image they put out. It’s uncanny how real it looks. Like how the hell is this a video game?!?!? The detail on his arm hair, the truck rear window, his skin, and so on… it’s all so unbelievably great looking.

Hope your 335th day before GTA 6 has been a marvelous one, thanks for reading.

336 DAYS TIL GTA 6!

7 WEEKS SINCE TRAILER 2 ALREADY, LESS THAN 49 LEFT TIL WE PLAY!

More thoughts on the unconfirmed leaks.

“Listening to music outside of a car apparently isn’t a thing.”

This is one of the leaks I find the hardest to believe. I think it would be a bit of a bummer if this wasn’t in the game. It just seems so obvious that it should be. What a fun thing to get to do as a player, roaming around walking the city (or wherever) and vibing to the tunes. If it is included as a feature, I think there would be lots of memorable moments. Let’s hope this leak is wrong.

Related topic of custom music on your phone… could that be a thing eventually? Only on PC like custom radio stations in GTA 5? As simple as linking your Spotify account? (Probably not that simple but it would be fun to have the option to play your own music)

Thanks for reading & have a great 336th day before GTA 6!

339 days until Grand Theft Auto 6!!!!!!

It’s already been FIFTY days since the delay & official date was announced.

Idk where time is going, but I’m not gonna question it in the case of waiting for this game.

Continuing thoughts on the (unconfirmed) leaks….

Enterable shopping malls and skyscrapers with lifts

I absolutely love to hear this & hope it’s true! I would love the return of the indoor shopping mall from Vice City, but of course now it would be full of NPCs & places to explore. Better than ever. This would bring back such nostalgia of playing Vice City.

Skyscrapers with lifts sounds like the best way to utilize these type of buildings in the most realistic & fun way (it’s not realistic to think they will all or even most be fully explorable). So this is a fun way to let them be enterable on the bottom floor, then find your way to the top (or maybe even diff floors in some cases I hope).

Thanks for reading.

Okay I’m gonna miss the occasional day here & there. But I’m happy to tell you that today, June 20th, 2025 is 340 days until Grand Theft Auto 6, the game we’ve been waiting over a decade for… is getting closer each day.

More thoughts on the recent leaks (unconfirmed of course)

“Map is an island”

“No panhandle”

I’m fine with it being an island again. I think that’s the best way to not break immersion. Invisible wall way out at sea is the least immersion breaking way you can go about this IMO.

I really wouldn’t love the idea of driving to the edge of the map & there’s just these road blocks that you can’t get through no matter what or only so far. While also being able to see what’s beyond them. Would be torture.

As for the panhandle… would have been cool, but we will be fine without it. The map is gonna be massive & expansive & have so much detail regardless that I’m not too worried about no pan handle. Up north part of the map remains a large mystery tho.

Thanks for reading my silly little blog about how excited I am for GTA 6, and have a great Friday!

It’s the 342nd day before GTA 6!

If the RDR2 current gen update is really happening & coming out later this year, I hope it has the Rockstar editor. I’ve really been enjoying making cinematic edits in GTA 5 lately. So fun & Director Mode takes it to another level as well.

We just know GTA 6 will have the editor & Director Mode & it’s gonna be greater than ever. Capturing the subtle facial expressions of characters like we see in Trailer 2, capturing epic moments, and so on. Gonna be so good.

I hope & think it will be there at launch of the game 342 days from now!

Thanks for reading this 342nd post before GTA 6!

343 days til GTA 6, already 6 weeks since the second trailer, 50 left til we play!

GTA Online DLC Grand Finale for GTA 5 was teased. Mansions are arriving as the seemingly finale in December. I look forward to seeing this grand finale knowing we will be that much closer to GTA 6 at that point.

I also think it would be really fun if they reveal the GTA 6 cover art in the grand finale GTA Online update via a fun live event everyone needs to show up to at a certain time to see it revealed then it’s just there in GTA Online! Sounds magical to me. That & Trailer 3 with Pre Orders would make a lot of sense for December, 6 months out from GTA 6! Assuming things stay on track. Fingers crossed.

Hope your 343rd day before GTA 6 was a magical one!

50 MONDAY’S to go before GRAND THEFT AUTO VI

Some things I’m looking forward to in GTA 6…

1. The NPCs

Rockstar NPCs are more alive & interesting than any other NPCs in all of gaming. Getting to interact with them, trying to mess with them in different ways, and just simply observing them in GTA 6 will by itself be one hell of a fun game within the game. Just imagine the sheer amount of unique NPCs there will be, and the thousands of voice lines recorded for the dialogue trees.

2. The Cars

I don’t drive in real life or have any sort of passion for cars. But in GTA they are obviously so important to the game. It’s safe to assume the amount of detail they will have will be so insane. The amount of customization will be better than ever. The amount of variation among the cars with hundreds of different models, color combos, and so on. I really hope we see dynamically different cars of the same model, some more run down, or just simply a different year of the same car.

3. The new car jacking system

Which will apparently include the use of different items to get into different cars. This is such a great evolution in the series. I love the idea of a lootable item you gotta get before you can steal a parked car. Grand Theft Auto will be more of a game within the game in GTA 6. I do hope we can still bust out a window when in a rush.

4. The beautiful volumetric clouds that look stunning.

I’m looking forward to pulling over somewhere, anywhere, and just getting lost in the clouds while day dreaming (or maybe just go up to them via a plane)

5. What is & Where is Gloriana State

It’s gotta be north of Leonida but will it be there at launch? Part of it? Will it become available to explore one day in GTA Online?

Hope your 50th Monday before Grand Theft Auto 6 was a fantastic one!

345 days til GTA 6!

Missed yesterday, more important things to tend to.

We’re back today with more thoughts on recent GTA 6 leaks…

“Gore/dismemberment is being built off of RDR2”

I’m a little surprised they are seemingly taking dismemberment even further than RDR2? I figured it would be actually not as much in GTA 6 as it’s not the same series. There is a crazy element of realism in RDR2 with NPCs & it makes them feel more “real” than GTA 5. So this could be really intense in GTA 6, if it comes true.

“Limited weapon system returns. Stored in trunk.”

This is also seen in the 2022 leaks, and I’m so excited for this. Even though I’ve always loved the arsenal you can have in GTA… I think it’s time for it to be more realistic & more mechanic driven with car trunk storage. Something that seems so perfect for GTA, you know a game that is heavy on the car theme.

Plus it adds a new layer to planning missions, how you approach them & so many things in the game, including free roam.

Which makes me wonder… in free roam with trunk storage… what else can you store in the trunk?

Related to this… I really hope whatever car you’re currently using in free roam will not despawn when you get a little ways away from it. It would be such a great immersive detail to travel by foot far away, return later and have your car still there. Plus what if NPCs sometimes rob your belongings inside the car while you’re gone, or Jack the car itself.

So many exciting little things to look forward to, all those small yet very immersive details that Rockstar always seems to nail.

Thanks for reading, and have a great 345th day before Grand Theft Auto 6!

347 days til GTA 6, and the most confusing part of the recent leak…

“Jason has a dead eye like ability - slows down time and reveals weak spots. Lucia can do it but one shot. Source said this is apparently super bad and they hope it gets changed, it’s meant to show how Jason is a better shot than Lucia due to his time in the army”

I would agree that on paper this sounds pretty underwhelming but it’s definitely possible this source doesn’t have all the info or outdated info.

It’s also possible that it will be cooler than how it sounds here.

On the topic of their special abilities, I was thinking Lucia’s would be hacking related but guess that’s more of a device or devices you find in the world that you gotta hold on to?

Would be odd for them to be so “similar” as they are described here. So hopefully/maybe some driving related special ability happens as well.

We shall see in 347 days when we play Grand Theft Auto 6 on May 26th, 2026! Have a great 347th day before GTA 6!

350 DAYS TIL GRAND THEFT AUTO 6!!!!!!

Out of the recent potential leaks, this is one of them that I’m most excited about….

Character wheel has three options: Solo Jason, Solo Lucia and Dual protagonist control where Lucia/Jason can be controlled at the same time to rob together in the open world.

I’m just imagining all of the different scenarios you could find yourself in, in the open world with both of them. Like how will it go if I start antagonizing an NPC while the other character stands near by? Can I antagonize the NPC to a point where they get mad at me, try to fight, then my partner defends me, then chaos, wanted levels & so on.

If we are both walking the streets & Lucia gets cat called by some NPC, can I then switch to Jason & have a word with the NPC?

If we are both in the car, I would love to be able to switch to the passenger and do casual drive bys on the streets.

If we got to a restaurant together… have they programmed something where one of the characters takes the order for both of them, or steps aside for the other to order or how does that work? (Probably reaching here)

So many scenarios & questions this brings up. I sure hope this is 100% real!

I was just pondering how they would evolve the character switch system in GTA 6, and now I might have my answer. And it’s something I wouldn’t have guessed at all. Sounds like an ambitious gameplay feature to add in.

Looking forward to finding out how this all works in 350 days from now!

351 days til GTA 6 & more thoughts on the potential leaks (source)

Weight mechanics are a thing

I’ve always wanted the return of the San Andreas weight, body, workout, stamina system in some sense. Sounds like we might be getting some of that, which excites me a lot. As long as it’s a fun side activity to occasionally care about (if you want) then it should be good. Hope it’s real 100%.

I don’t mind the idea of having to occasionally work out cause I ate too much Cluckin’ Bell or Burger Shot recently. Which reminds me, this would probably work in a fun way with having to fuel up cars but only on occasion so it doesn’t become annoying. (I don’t think they will end up doing car refueling anyways)

Trailer 2 scene where Jason buys beer is gameplay

I love to hear this & am excited about the idea of getting to buy different items at convenience stores, and so on. If I can buy this 6 pack of beer, can I also go into a dispo and buy something? What can I do with this beer when I walk away with it? Can I chuck it right at the cashier immediately or drop it or store it in my car trunk? Lots of interesting questions even about this small detail, but it’s gonna feel more immersive with this, just like weight mechanics being a thing as well. Please be real 100%.

Thanks for reading.

352 days until GTA 6 & some more thoughts on the new leaked info (source).

A relationship bar that works like honor in RDR2

I’m not too sure I have a strong opinion on this one as I’m somewhat confused what it does. A good example I heard tho, that could maybe apply… if you go to the strip club as Jason or Lucia, it would lower your relationship honor status. Which that seems intriguing & I think could be a fun mechanic that effects certain story elements maybe?

How much do I hope this leak is true? 80%, not extremely needing it but would probably be a fun feature.

Hope your 352nd day before Grand Theft Auto 6 has been great!

Thanks for reading.

353 days til GTA 6 & a new leak…

Source: GameRoll, who had the same source accurately tell him the last names of both protagonists BEFORE GTA 6 Trailer 2.

GameRoll’s source is a friend of a Rockstar dev, so the classic “take it with a grain of salt” applies here.

But I would like to give my thoughts on some of the new info…

6 star wanted level returns

AAAAAAAAAA YESSSSSSSSS LFGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!! I was always hoping this would return in GTA 6, from prior GTAs. Plainly for the reason that it brings more variety of scenarios you find yourself in as the player. Gimme then FIB, SWAT, tanks in the streets of Vice City OMG that will be so epic & hopefully challenging to escape.

How much do I hope this leak is true? 100%

It just makes sense for it to return, and for the wanted levels to be the most challenging & diverse in series history.

355 days left til we get to see this beautiful view from the grassrivers for our selfs. With controller in hand.

I’m fascinated that the grassrivers also seem like they will be so fun to explore & have more than just grass…. and rivers…. If that makes sense haha.

I was expecting them in my mind to be very rural like RDR2, and I think we get some of that but we also get anther small town/area. What an expansive and awesome game this is gonna be.

The first thing caught my eye when I first saw this screenshot, was this NPC density here. There is so many NPCs partying here, vibing, and it just reminds me how dense this game will be.

I think we are gonna see packed areas where it makes sense, empty areas, and everything else in between, in an incredibly realistic & immersive fashion.

Glancing over on the left side of this view. So much to see… Vice City skyline in the background, so much beautiful foilage, roads, cars, houses, and restaurants like BiTE House, a returning brand with a new version including house in the name. Cant wait to see it & hopefully go inside.

Lastly over on the right side, more NPCs, on land & water that seem like they should be messed with by Lucia or Jason… or…. both of them 😂

One of the things I’m looking forward to the most in this & every modern Rockstar game… the NPCs, and interacting with them to create so so so many endless interactions that will range from hilarious to WTF. RDR2 nailed this feature with the ability for the player to choose to greet or antagonize or rob, etc.

This system is gonna lead to the most immersive & interactive Grand Theft Auto in history in 355 days from now.

Thank you for reading.
