It's not been announced yet but we all know it's coming. Maybe not even this gen but it's coming nevertheless.

So, yeah, what do you want for GTA The Sixth?

-----
Female protagonist: either the sole character or as part of another multi-character ensemble, it's about time a mainline GTA game gets a female protagonist.

Expanded in-game radio options: alongside custom playlists, we should be able to add online streaming stations or even link paid subscriptions services into the list of radios. Hell, maybe there could even be Rockstar's own live radio. Also, let us listen to the radio outside of the car. If the game is set in modern time, cellphone with earbuds; if in the past, portable radio. Certain spots on the map could have boomboxes we could interact with.

Straight up copy Max Payne's 3 gameplay for the character animation and gunplay: I mean, fuck, this should've been done on V.

GTAO 3.0 should include plastic surgeons that way you can customize your character and make adjustments without starting an entirely new character.

Multiple playable protagonists again. A south asian playable character would be nice

Cheat codes. Lots of cheat codes for single player (GTA San Andreas levels of cheat codes) Must be free don't nickel and dime it with MTX.

2 player Single player mode like GTA San Andreas too

I hope they go for more subtle comedy set against a more serious crime story. I also hope they go for a more blue collar kind of organized crime, meaning less high reaching crimes like big thefts and more highly violent disruption of criminal organizations/social structures.

Female protag, obv. But Rockstar will not pull it off. They don't have the ability and i doubt they have the desire to be that kind of radical.

Not contemporary. Recent political events seem like an obvious egg to take a crack at but i hope they instead take the opportunity to explore racism/sexism/nazism/trump in the late 90's or whatever.

Implement Max Payne 3 style movement, shooting, and hit reaction and you have GOAT. Come on Rockstar, you built the tech for that game, USE IT!

Every song from the radio as collectibles for your custom playlist. Like how in The Phantom Pain you found the cassette tapes. It would give me major incentive to go around collecting 400 things dotted across the map.

Two or three cities so we don't have the weird situation in V where the countryside was tacked on to the side of Los Santos. In San Andreas knowing that a new city and a change of pace was away made the countryside feel really cool, and the little towns in between were so charming.

Two protagonists, where one's a typical GTA gang member and the other is a police officer. I'd go with the former being male and the latter being female. Rockstar North seem to love Michael Mann films, so they can lean more into being Heat than GTA V did.

GTA Online 2.0, but revolving around 'Cops 'n Crooks'. APB done right, essentially. You can be a criminal or an officer, and missions revolve around those, with two teams in opposition. So a Heist might be a bank robbery for one team, and hostage rescue for the other.

And Vice City, for the cop drama vibe.

Max Payne 3's gunplay.

Something like that.

Yes!

Keep their stories more or less independent from each other until at a certain point they clash together and you have to choose which character you want to finish the game with.

Here's a few things I've thought of

- 2 protagonists if not 3. Have one be a college student while the other a police officer. The college student in his early 20s (21-24) while the police officer's in his late 30s-early 40s. The cop ends up working with the collect student.
- One protagonist needs to be a woman. Don't care if it's the college student or the police officer or hell introduce a third protagonist. I wouldn't mind a woman hacker.
- Vice. Fucking. City. You can live it up in Miami. Introduce cool celebs like a DJ Khaled-like celeb who helps the team out from time to time.
- An area bigger than San Andreas in V but overall the whole layout with the city, woods and everything in-between would be great.

PC version in a reasonable time. Mods need to develop for me to be interested, and that takes time on top of the console version time.

I'd like to go back to Vice City

This right here. Vice City was my favourite GTA and I spent the most time in it, but it's certainly dated by today's standards. I'd love a return to that setting and that city, even modern day. I'd also like a return to a mafia-based storyline, but I'm sure that's seen as a step backwards by many. I just felt the story in GTA V left a lot to be desired. In Vice City, you had this mob setup from the beginning and Vercetti making his way up in Vice City,
to eventually work his way to taking out Sonny and land on top
. But in GTA V, the story is largely between Michael and Trevor, without any real culmination...it begins with them separated, they reconnect,
Trevor discovers Michael's lies, and then you end up with one of the multiple endings, all of which don't feel nearly as satisfying as past games (although really, I don't see how any of the endings other than the one where everyone lives are acceptable as endings)
. I hope they step it up next time, personally, but I worry that the online focus will mean the story mode isn't as important...

I'd like better loading and tighter controls for the multiplayer -what is their main focus.
Slow-ass initial (and not only) loading, combined with these (floaty?) controls, basically render multiplayer unusable for me.

Vice City would be a huge downgrade in variety.

I wouldn't actually mind keeping V's map and adding more cities and areas to it for VI.

Also would love a female protagonist and perhaps even a police officer to play as.

One male and one female protagonist plus one silent custom protagonist that tags along in missions. Better stealth mechanics and more varied interiors. More 90's/00's cars!

I want one large city like IV or two smaller cities with some sort of connected tissue between them. The top half of the map in V felt like a wasted opportunity and a chore.

One protagonist. The gimmick was cool, but I was over it by the time the credits rolled in V.

Meaningful SP DLC. If they would have ever released any for V, I would have double dipped on the PS4.

Make something more than a glorified tech demo

V has no soul imo like gta SA had which I still think is gta at its peak

The days of GTA VC and GTA SA are over I think. They will always go to single player set pieces for missions with little flexibility in how you can complete them because of wanting to keep you in the path of their next scripted event, and they will focus on MP for the meat of the fun outside of their boring story missions.

For GTA Online 2

Honestly they should even "have" basic jobs you can do and progress in with rewards you can't buy elsewhere.

(For example)
Cop - Uniform + ability to arrest players and criminal NPCs and requirement to do VIP type Law Enforcement tasks daily.
Patrol Cop - basically same but you own a police car
Detective - unmarked police car + ability to investigate dead players and NPCs leading to random NPCs or players(that have even lost wanted level)
Swat - Swat uniform & swat vehicle
Police Captain - police boat, police Maverick and the police station as a safehouse.

Henchman - far cheaper guns & ammo + crime missions
Driver - armored car
Hitman - specialty weapons
Mademan - fancy vehicle + discount on properties and business.
Godfather - highest end, mansion safehouse
(+criminal tree pays the best as well)

Firefighter - gear(fireproof uniform) + firefighter VIP type mission access
Firefighter Driver - ownership of a firetruck
Firefighter Rescue - exclusive ability to rappel from any stable surface in the game
Fire Chief - Chief's car, FireDepartment helicopter and Firehouse as a safehouse


etc

I'd like it to have fewer right wing undertones and be less 'edgy' and teen boy fan service (Trevor ugh). GTA is essentially a comedy game now but I really don't think it needs to be.

I'd absolutely love it to be set in the early 70s and have a sense of post-Watergate paranoia to it, and pay homage to New Hollywood films such as Taxi Driver, Easy Rider, The French Connection, The Long Goodbye, Badlands, Mean Streets etc etc.

Also, have multiple cities and a better map structure- the main highway basically being an oval shape around the entire map made the map feel much smaller than it is.

Not sure why people are desperate to return GTA to Miami- I'd much rather it was set somewhere new; Detroit or Chicago would be amazing.

Random things I've thought would be nice over the years since GTA V:
  • I liked having three protagonist in V (and how it started in a small way in IV), so I would like that to continue, hopefully with a more diverse cast this time. I thought it would be interesting if the first character we play as gets arrested and loaded into the back of a cop car, where control then shifts to our second playable character, a corrupt police woman.
  • Ease of the heists. They were interesting for one game, but I would like for the series to explore different aspects of crime this time.
  • Set in Las Venturas. I do think that having GTA VI be GTA VIce is almost too good an opportunity to pass up, but I think a Las Vegas parody would be an interesting location, and would offer some interesting casino based events for online.
  • Keep it in canon with the HD GTA universe, with a few small references to IV and V.
