Summary
- Trailer features nods to RDR2 fishing and GTA IV Stranger Encounters.
- Classic mechanics like muscle-building and social media return.
- New vitals targeting system allows for non-lethal disarming.
The recently released extended look trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI is packed with nostalgic callbacks to previous Rockstar Games titles. Players can expect a return of familiar mechanics, including fishing minigames reminiscent of Red Dead Redemption 2 and potential nods to GTA IV's Stranger Encounters.
Further homages are evident with references to GTA: San Andreas' muscle-building activities and GTA V's social media platforms. The trailer showcases new animations for robberies and introduces onscreen icons for player stats, similar to Red Dead Redemption 2.
Significantly, GTA VI appears to feature a new vitals targeting system, enabling players to aim for lethal blows or non-lethally disarm opponents. This innovative system, alongside slow-motion shooting and killcam elements, suggests a blend of classic and modern gameplay experiences.
