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.

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
