MODERATORS
I'm curious how they'll handle the crime aspect with it taking place in modern times. I was thinking again how this woman in the 2020 George Floyd protests was identified and arrested via an Etsy purchased shirt. Maybe the game takes place over the course like 72 hours before they get caught? I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but something that forces Rockstar to have a different story architecture than having the entire map open for you to hop from mission location to mission location would be a nice change.
Most crimes aren't investigated this thoroughly. Half of murders go unsolved.
In real life, if the police witnessed you commit a crime, chased after you, and then saw you enter your home, you wouldn't be in the clear. It's an acceptable unrealistic thing for the sake of gameplay.
I think you've already put more thought into this than Rockstar has. I don't really think you can still make a GTA game set in "mass shooting every other week" 2023 police state america and not just bury your head in sand.
It was reported a few years ago the initial game with be medium sized (in terms of map). That could mean they plan on monetizing it by expanding it through DLC, and/or it could mean they plan on packing more into a smaller area like Yakuza.
One thing I hate about Rockstar games is that they never restrict you. You can make millions of dollars and the story will still make you some poor bum on the run.
The trailer shows them parodying the body cam (which seems to be trend ever since that cop game demo reel became popular). They’re likely going to incorporate more police brutality in the game
Gta VII will be a Watch Dogs remake
