And ..if you ask JJ only about a month until we get /something/ new.
I love how a lot of us who were kids when we used to watch this show 10+ years ago and rejoicing at how quickly time is flying since the trailer… we really are getting old
What is time?
These Wednesdays are coming so fast, man!!
I😮
GTA will be here before we know it! We've already hit the 1/4 mark for the year!
@@Baxten123 most definitely!!!
they had niko carrying a dufflebag whenever he had more than two assault rifles on him in IV, you can see it in the early trailers and some in game screens, however they took it out as it slowed gameplay too much. They then reconfigured it for Max Payne 3. I can see them bringing it back for 6, the car holds the weapons and you bring a bag when you need your rocket launcher. Happens automatically as you step out the vehicle? by now they may have sorted out the "slowness" of it, getting weapons off the horse never felt too sloggish, really.
I wish they'd kept that, (I have that duffle bag from the collectors edition still!, and the lock box :D), it was such a cool idea.
I would like to actually grab them from the trunk. I'm so bored of GTA being arcadey. RDR2 blows any Rockstar game out of the water for me and it's because of the immersion and way it plays.
@@deetsitmeisterjd 100% agree. I've played the video games where my character can run around in tights, and carry 10 different massive guns... in thin air, and jump around shooting guns with no recoil, and endless ammo. I don't want to play that game anymore. I want to play the game that immerses me and doesn't lean into old, lazy design from the stone age of Game dev. I want to have to watch my ammo, and have a reason to use a melee weapon because I was bullet happy, or a reason to plan and stock up before doing a mission. That kinda stuff is great.
prior to the trailer, the mapping project wasn’t as fleshed out as it is now. So prior to the trailer, we did not know what the map will look like. I think he knew that the things in the trailer would prove his credibility, and he used that to tell us unbelievable things. It’ll be cool to see if everything he said ends up being fact.
I dunno about car trunks but they definitely have duffle bags to unlock additional inventory spaces as seen in those leaked gameplay videos.
Thank you guys for making every wednesday so special and a day to look forward to! Keep up this amazing work!
I do believe that it’s worth more looking at RDR2 rather than comparing GTA V to VI. Rockstar’s games seem to be more and more realistic and I think GTA VI will be the most realistic one yet. I think they might go the RDR2 route with having limited weapons that you can carry on your person. So instead of pulling an rpg out of your back pocket, it might be strapped on your shoulder or something. And when it comes to animations.RDR2 was insane. When Arthur drinks, you can see his Adam’s apple move up and down! GTA VI is going to be absolutely wild!
Totally agree. Some of the RDR2 mechanics will be the building blocks for GTA VI
And let's be honest GTA V, is arguably one of the worst games in the franchises, dull story, non revolutionary mechanics and design (where both GTA 4 and RDR 2 were) A major mechanic that does very little for the game, irritating cast, overburdened by Online, TERRIBLE map, outside the city has nothing there, wafer thin side content.
Thanks for the feature guys, it is very much appreciated!
On the Anita Ward thing.. I work at a label and usually the only way to change the image is through a Spotify for artists page.. you’d need to be the label/publisher or on her team to get into it. it’s most likely someone in the team that is getting carried away, perhaps they’ve been approached by Rockstars music supervisor about the track, but there’s all kinds of paper work and agreements that will be put in place as well as agreeing fees, their team is likely under a strict NDA so would maybe explain the odd statement. Just a hunch but yeah I don’t think it’ll be a hacker, just a team member who trialed out the image on SFA and published it momentarily by accident.
I reckon someone there was just bored and decided to troll by uploading the image.
No Wednesday without watching a new video from you guys👏
Thanks for your support! Really appreciate it
I used to follow gta5oclock all those years ago. I cannot believe the cannel changed its name?! So happy that yall are back at it
I would love the idea of having gameplay differences when it comes to owning a car or stealing a car. If you don't spend some money, to change license plates, "get some papers" of some sort for a stolen car that you leave in your property/garage there will be a search warrant for it, causing the Police to spawn near your location, and maybe if you had weapons stored in that car, or what have you, you'd loose em. But if you purchase a car, or if you use some money to "make a stolen car your own" it would alleviate that issue. but then again, I don't know if a lot of people would like that type of depth.
Would be a cool idea if they have different depth levels and depending on the difficulty you choose, you get mor in depth gameplay. Like having to forge documents, deal with search warrants, etc. Would change the game depending on how difficult you want the game to be,
@beetboxboy no. A games difficulty dictates things like how much damage you take, how much damage an enemy takes, how many enemies there are and maybe some quality of life settings like auto aim. A games difficulty shouldn't change the fundamentals of how the game functions and add or remove entire game mechanics. I'm down for a different game mode perhaps where certain mechanics are introduced, but that sounds like a hell of a lot of work and would invite criticism of how these mechanics were chosen per mode. I highly doubt rockstar will want to go down that road. Its far too big an ask
That get papers feature is supposed to be part of the drip feed for this Chop Shop dlc. If you own a forged document office, you can keep the car you stole in the heist instead of selling it to Yusuf or salvaging it. I don't know when the feature becomes available but it's supposedly a thing.
@@shanustheanus you’re right, that’s how other games do it. Rockstar sets the bar and other games attempt live up to it. What i was thinking is that they could make the game with these features as the recommended way to play then add in an easier mode where these features aren’t present. Max Payne 3 had a difficulty that completely changed the way the game was played rather than just adding more enemies with more health. I agree, it’s a big ask. But it’s not an ask, just a speculation as to what could be in the game. I like you am just speculating for something that could be in the game!
They gave us the most detailed cowboa simulator ever made. Now I'd like the most detailed crime simulator ever made.
24:21 I love the idea of getting weapons from your car. I feel like most people are just too overpowered, and I would love it more grounded in reality.
I could see R* not having the weapon wheel from Red Dead for efficiency and convenience but they been essentially using the same weapon selection for decades, literally. Consider this if they bring it over you can carry any 2 small side arms and 2 long range at any given time which I think would be very cool IMO.
My guess is that for the gun mechanics, itll be similar to the saddle where you can switch the gun stash to a new personal vehicle if ever needed, except it could show something like an animation of lucia or jason loading a box into the new car and a button icon could show up saying “switch stash to vehicle”. Rockstar often makes faster animations or cuts time for the online mode much like how looting or skinning only takes a fraction online of what it is in story mode on rdr2. Switching the gun stash to a new vehicle online could be as quick as a queue indicated by a small bounce in the car’s trunk
I really hope that you have to pick guns from the car and not having unlimited amount of guns in your pockets. In RDR2 you can move the saddle to another horse and have that as your main horse, I can see you moving a bag of guns between cars to change which car is the main one.
A duffle bag is confirmed so there's that.
"This is the only official and correct explanation. Thanks Putin" 🤣
Thanks for another great show. Listening to you guys helps Nashville Tennessee traffic not feel as bad.

Ha! This is amazing to think that we're 'travelling' the world and helping you get through a car journey (we do the same with a lot of podcasts). Really appreciate this comment
Please never stop making these! 💖So hyped for GTA 6, your podcasts make it so much easier for me to keep up with the Rockstar gossip and tasty info, thank you so much for dedicating your time to make these you two, your vast knowledge on the franchise does not go unappreciated
Thanks Dylan! Great to have you as part of the crew.
The important element at play in the "Come into the office now" thing, is the MAIN reason for that, is because it means more revenue in the end product. The people who are being told to crunch, who are having their current work/life balance ruined, DON'T get anything of that end product revenue. They don't get shares, hell, a HUGE portion of them will likely be fired because that's the game dev cycle. Give them some financial incentive, and maybe people will react differently. As has been pointed out - many of these people were hired on a remote/semi remote contract. I work in game dev, I understand the benefit of working in-office. However, the incentives are huge for the top tier of the business, and it's all loses for the people doing the actual work.
GTA 5 already has personal cars that stay with the protagonists the whole game. The only real issue with a car inventory system vs RDR 2 is that your horse can come to you while your car can’t. Unless both protagonists have self driving cars which would be extremely unrealistic and out of place, even in 2025
GTA used to be about Grand Theft Auto, the crime of stealing cars. As the franchise went on, it essentially went the Fast and Furious route of becoming Mission Impossible, action with elements of cars. We need to get back to Grand Theft Auto being a big part, nicking cars should have a lot of mechanics and it should be the main focus. 5's main pull of the heists basically ruined the main element. San Andreas was wacky as hell and 4 was more about guns to be honest.
@@deetsitmeisterjd Sorry I don’t see how your comment has anything to do with how GTA 6 handles its inventory system. But I do respectfully disagree. Every GTA game to date has been a crime simulator. Stealing cars has always been a part of that but it has never been the only part. This statement is true for every single game from GTA 1 to 5. I would even argue that the core gameplay loop of GTA games have remained unchanged since GTA 1. I think what you have an issue with is the tone of the story of some of the games. Even GTA online as goofy as it can get and as much as I dislike the sci fi elements is still very much a crime simulator. It’s not creatively viable for every single story mission in every single GTA game to be about stealing a car.
They are already using the same modified engine they modified for rdr2. That one had you able to blow peoples heads off. Its obvious that its gonna be in gta6. Every time they change the engine from for there previous game it gets added. There are animals in gta 5. Because of RDR1, the character abilities came in for gta 5 because of max payne 3, gta 4s weapon wheel made it into rdr1 and that made it into gta 5 and that got modified in rdr2 with more limits on it. Rockstar has been moving towards realism ever since they made GTA3 and it is baffling why people hate it so much when it's such a core part of there game design and every game they make is more realistic then the last
GTA IV doesn't have a weapon wheel
Certain things from RDR2 will be implemented into GTA6. This does not mean the weapon system from RDR2 makes it to GTA6 tho. Especially with the importance of online these days. The weapon wheel from RDR2 in a GTA online session would be absolute hell.
@@KarlDelaney99 i made a mistake. The wheel from RDR made it ibto GTA5
@hiiiguardian5203 it works just fine in Red Dead Online. It prevents way more griefing then a guy with 9999 homing rockets ever could
@@AcceptGamingDKD red dead is completely different due to the game, and mainly the community. GTA is not only different in terms of game, (specifically online) but the community is the biggest difference. Griefing would take a huge leap forward if ppl knew blowing your car up would alter the way you gotta play for a moment. As well if they knew, they could trap you while you dont have a long range weapon to defend yourself. It helps to think about the positives & negatives of things. Because you end up seeing the overall logic. And the logic doesn’t add up to implement RDR2’s gun system into GTA online free roam. Id be very surprised if they end up doing that. Ppl constantly complain about griefing now as it is.
the weapon wheel claim isn’t baseless or just from red dead 2. there are multiple clips from the leaks of them experimenting with the a duffle bag/limited inventory space for each character. I wouldn’t be surprised if they introduced a system of inventory management to the game where we have to deliberate what tools, consumables, and of course weapons we want to carry. i have a feeling the space won’t be necessarily small, but you will absolutely need to think about application of the tools given the task at hand. for example, there’s a clip where they use wire cutters to open a storage container. the alternative if you don’t have wire cutters might just be to shoot the lock/use an explosive which will absolutely draw attention. i think the idea of a “single” car is absolutely feasible, but not in the sense that we understand from red dead with our personal horse. i think any car will be viable for storage of items, etc., but the player will obviously opt to take their car which they have upgraded, tuned, etc. speaking on the point of armor-suspension upgrades and everything, an upgraded and kitted car may be able to take much more of a beating than standard cars, making it more realistic for practical storage given how easily destroyed they may become without any upgrades. hopefully this makes some degree of sense. there are definitely a lot of moving parts to be considered and i’m curious to see how they handle it ultimately
Listen to the podcast, you would think they just wanted to be exactly like GTA 5. But at the same time I think they're just playing good cop bad cop.
The UK food thing is an interesting tell, as is the way they state dates: "December 6th" - month before day, which suggests they're either American or Canadian.
They were already working 5 days a week but Remotely. Imagine if you lived in Texas and your home studio is in North Dakota. I would be infuriated if my boss just dropped that on me.
Awesome video as always,guys
Yeah having limitations on weapons and such isn't annoying, it creates interesting gameplay mechanics. Give players things to make decisions about. You want to have a rocket launcher all the time? You should have to carry an over the shoulder bag, and be slower. That's a choice you made. Give things positives & negatives - don't design for the god-awful mess that is GTA online. Make the game world balanced in itself, and then just have GTA online be the side show that it is.
You should make a video of the potential inclusion of Georgia state being in the map and what states or city’s you think they will add down the years with dlc with the rumour of the ever extending map
Get well soon DD❤
It would be sick af if they make it to where we have to go to the trunk of the car to grab weapons like rifles and explosives and such, knowing R* they probably will have it in, not to mention RDR2 was made on PS4 and it was and still is amazingly good. So cheers to this comment a year from now lads!! 🥂
In the leaks there was a lot of footage pointing towards having limited weapons and using your car as storage as well as a duffel bag. R* will figure out a good middle ground. In red dead you had weapon lockers but they were optional. If you wanted you can have every weapon on your horse and the ones in your holsters and your back. But If you want a realistic game you can keep all your weapons in your locker and pick the ones you want on your horse depending on if you’re going out robbing or hunting. Different weapons for different animals. You can make it realistic if you want but can have it the easy way too. Also I think vehicles will be the same as horses. Have a bunch of cars and have one of them selected as a personal vehicle.
I think using a similar weapon system like read dead would be amazing for GTA 6! I think it could add a really fun strategy gameplay dynamic. Just imagine having to decide what weapons will be most useful for the mission you’re about to do!
I can’t wait for GTA six :-) good job as always guys
The leaks listed a tracker jammer, immobilizer bypass and slim Jim as tools, so I think it is safe to say stealing cars is going to be a game of its own. Unless they remove it.
HERE WE ARE AGAIN LADS!
Here we are!
Right. How can we store rocket launchers in our boot? We wear them on our feet. Now. Maybe. If we put them in the trunk of our vehicle that would be cool.
Wednesday fellas... It's here. Good evening
I personally do not agree with any of the complaints from the staff about having to go back into the office. You definitely were on the team prior to the pandemic working on GTA6 if you joined after, Rockstar should probably give you the option to leave with extra pay if you dont want to have an office job. Developers think they get paid nothing, they can work at McDonalds like loads of other people with degrees. But nah, lets work on GTA6, get paid a decent wage and then whinge when we have to get dressed, essentially. That's what it boils down to "I've been at home doing the bare minimum with no one nagging me, I don't need to shower, I don't need to put on clothes, I can just place assets in this trailer park for the next 5 hours. I don't have to travel and I certainly don't have to pay attention to my team lead about current goals in this pointless zoom meeting" - Environmental artist #87
Weapons stashed in car would be cool, but what I want is to be able to whistle and my car come to me
Just curious are you guys still playing gta5,whether that's online or revisiting story mode?
Keeping guns in the trunk could be fun if it was limited to only the largest weapons. Like if you want to use a Gatling Gun, Flame Thrower, or Rocket Launcher, those would be cool to keep either in you're hands or in your trunk or drop on the ground. They shouldn't really exist is a weapon wheel. They're so over powered that it would actually make it more fun to have that limitation on them.
No doubt GTA 6 will be delayed at least 6 months. Sad fact is Rockstar may have grown to the size where leaks are just inevitable. No matter where the work is done unless they re tool security to FBI levels...or maybe FIB levels
I think at the most, the RDR2 weapon system will be a mission format or single player only experience. It would not work in an online session because of the power that system/format would give other players. The emphasis on blowing up ppl’s cars would be out of this world. Plus, spawn trapping would be a huge issue. Someone traps you with a sniper, & you dont have a long range weapon to defend yourself. I personally believe they will end up keeping the weapon wheel for online mode. Im not so sure about single player.
In regards to the cars being like the saddles RDR. Michael, Franklin and Trevor had their own personal vehicles outside their home maybe this is where your weapons are and a car stolen from the street you only have the weapon on your person
Hopefully they put the alien at the mall with all the cop cars as a random encounter Easter egg, would be dope
I think WELL_LOOK_WHOS_BACK was the guy who actually leaked the trailer, I also have a feeling all they knew for real was the content of the trailer and nothing else, and that the additional info bits they gave afterwards were just pulled out of of their arse for attention.
The leaks point to a lot of what LHB said is true. There is footage of duel wielding. All of this probably is in the game and being tested and played. The big question is what actually makes it into the final game. Also RDR2 had a good bit of realistic gore. Could be pretty brutal. It worked in rdr2 I don’t think they’ll tone it down in gta vi.
Since the first trailer was pretty much a Lucia centric trailer do you think the next one will be about Jason a little more? And maybe the third trailer will tease the story a tiny bit and show off the world which is usually the main character in every Rockstar Game.. i think theres a good chance! Also i believe that like how GTA 5 was about different perspectives on criminals lifes Trevor being at the bottom dealing meth and living in a trailer (but he doesnt seem to mind lol) Franklin being in the middle trying to get out of the hood and gang life but stuck in a period of stasis till he meets michael! And michael someone whos at the top of the crime gang and is even somewhat wealthy but his life is miserable and he not knowingly longs for the life he ran away from.. but gta 6 will be about the view of the crime life through a mans and females eyes they will focus on have they each get treated and what they gotta do to earn peoples respect i think it will be a fine line to walk but i honestly believe Rockstar can pull it off plus there no way Dan houser didnt work on this game atleast a bit same with lesley and aaron i think his name is?? Just my thoughts on GTA6 at thee moment awesome video tho keep up the good shit guys!
I always listen to these during my Wednesday shower
🤨
Woah, that's a long shower!
right about the shower as yet again found wanting on some of the information
I think more it's to do with the owned vehicle. When a horse dies in RDR, you don't lose your weapons. They are consistently transferred over all of your owned horses. I suspect if it was to go through, much like how you use a saddle in RDR 2 to make a horse your horse, you could say use a dufflebag in the trunk to mark your main car and access you armoury on the fly. Could just be how the weapon wheel was like during the 2022 leaks. For me, I hope it is more like RDR 2's or GTA IV's weapon access, V's was fun and all, but I'd much rather it be more of a challange (especially so in the Online when Tryhards pull snipers, RPG's and all sorts of nonsense out of nowhere. Would make them need to improvise).
On the whole basketball thing; although I think 3v3 is very unlikely, I don't see R* needing to mocap basketball. I mean its not like thier parent company owns NBA 2k or anything.
Ha! Well, there is that
Bigger guns in the trunk makes sense just like red dead with horses.
Aayyyeee it must be Wednesday! Good day indeed!
I don't think VI will have DLC, I do however think more singleplayer titles will be released at a faster cadence than V's.
Table tennis 2? ;)
@GTAVI-oclock was thinking more in line with new GTA Singleplayer experiences. But heck, why not?
Having to go back into the office after so much time spent working from home sucks. I get that. But there's just no shot Rockstar didn't warn these employees that they might have to come back in at some point. If the job was always remote then I'd get it. But if you started in an office, moved to remote work after the pandemic hit, made the decision to move even further away from the office, and get upset when you are asked to come back then I don't feel too bad for you.
I think limiting the weapons you have on your character at any one time could help balance out the online part. The biggest issue with GTA online right now is tryhards spamming rockets and having the entirety of the world's arsenal in their back pocket. The fact you can get more ammo through the interaction menu makes it even worse. I think heavy weapons should definitely be more limited for sure. Maybe there's certain weapons that you get out of the car like an RPG let's say if you equip that you can't use any of your other weapons and it should slow your movement speed too like the minigun does.
Do you think there will be story mode DLC additions? Online is great but constantly having to try and do GTA Online “Missions” with people is honestly a chore

55 episodes till launch day 🎉
The countdown starts now
No it is not annoying to get your weapons from the trunk and only holding one big weapon, it was a mess on rdr2 because they remove it from your back without your consent, in gta 6 I'm guessing people will react to your weapons on your back so hand guns will be far more useful, everyone used one gun anyways on gta5, it was off to have an armory in your pockets, this isn't fortnite i've always seen gta as a realistic simulation despite the madness
12:00 so far it has been 5 years of gta online butchering single player content and dlc into online. then 3 years of updating the original dlc they released. Then after criminal enterprise pack we got maybe one proper dlc split and drip fed to use for another 2-3 years and now what ever is left post perio content is being drip fed to us from the already drip feed dlc. Stretching it out till gta 6. The next online will be in gta 6 and the gta 5 will be abandoned like they abandon everything else.
The employees should drink some cement toughen the hell up lol
Gotta go to work wah. Somebody get them some wahmburgers and cry fries
There's an irony to returning to the office by force to stop leaks, because so many employees are annoyed by it i'm almost certain we'll see leaks in the coming months from said now disgruntled employees.
Rockstar will then sue them into oblivion for violating their contracts. Being in the office will make it easier to see where any leaks may come from.

If the ambition is for online not story mode it's going to very disappointing. GTA 5 story was great. Online is rubbish.
People going crazy when that one guy on reddit guessed that Tom Petty's song would be in the trailer are just plain stupid. Obviously with thousands of people guessing, someone's gonna get it right. Plus we knew for a while that the story would be about Jason and Lucia's relationship, so tons of people were guessing love songs. Same with the release date. People went crazy when someone guessed GTA 5's release date, but obviously people are going to guess correctly when thousands of people are doing it. I don't know why people took him as a leaker or everything he said as fact because he guessed a song. He 100% was just taking the opportunity to mess with people and gave vague answers that he himself didn't even know anything about. Anyone else would do the same thing for a little fun.
spawning weapons out of thin air is kids stuff, what are these dudes talking about they wont to be able to take a rocket launcher out of your back packet lmao!! its 2024 of course there going to have places to store your weapons in your car or stash house lol
38:17 wtf? you mean RDR2 same with the duel welding. Also the map thing could be true in terms of the north and any islands to the east or south. 39.00 it's GTA and it's an 18(adult game) kids shouldn't be playing it. Stop being so triggered it's GTA.
