Will Grand Theft Auto 6 Be the Best Video Game Ever?

What an image? Grand Theft Auto 6. I never thought the day would come. Seriously. Guys I beat Grand Theft Auto 5 on my Xbox 360 my freshman year of college. I beat that game so long ago I hadn’t even met my wife yet. Needless to say, I’ve been waiting for this one. I’m not much of an online multiplayer guy. So I beat the main campaign and didn’t fool around much with the online modes of the game. Meaning, GTA 5’s DLC didn’t really do much for me. With all that in mind, it’s safe to say Grand Theft Auto 6 is one of my, and I’m sure many others as well, most anticipated games of all time. So honor Grand Theft Auto 6, here’s 6 questions I have going into the reveal trailer.
#1 Will Rockstar Keep an Emphasis on Story Mode.
This may sound weird. How many people actually play the games for the single player story mode experience? Prior to Grand Theft Auto 5, I feel like the notion was no one actually beats the campaign. They treat the game like the ultimate sandbox world that it is. If you advanced in the story it was just to unlock other parts of the game map. Then, when 5 came around, people flocked to the multiplayer. Yet, I played through and beat 4 and 5. I loved both campaigns. GTA 5 was groundbreaking in my opinion with how you could switch between 3 different characters, pretty seamlessly, too. My minds been racing for a decade on how they could top the three way character dynamic of Grand Theft Auto 5’s single player experience.
#2 Will We Have the Return of Character Swapping
With that said, will Rockstar make a triumph return to the 3 character option? Or will the story mode be a more traditional one main character story? To me, a single main character is not a deal breaker. Though, I do wonder if they’ll try to push the boundaries and say do 6 characters or something wild. I’m sure there’s a sweet spot to the number of characters they would want you actively juggling between. Either way, I’m interested to see what they come up with.

#3 Where Will the Game Be Located?
When I saw the teaser image I assumed the location would be Vice City or back to Los Santos. Honestly, I was hoping for a new location. However, considering I got my start in Vice City, I would love to see an overhauled version of Vice City running on the latest hardware. So, if we aren’t getting a new location, I’m fine with revisiting Vice City.

#4 Will Old Main Characters Make A Return?
This is something I feel like they could do to help give this game “break the internet” levels of excitement. For example, will Tommy Vercetti be featured in Grand Theft Auto 6? Vice City was set sometime in the 80’s. When will 6 take place? Will any of the crew from Grand Theft Auto V be in the new game? Or will we get an entirely new cast?

#5 Will It Get a Nintendo Switch Version
Nintendo has a brand to uphold. Grand Theft Auto tends to be the furthest thing away from that brand. Still, the Switch finally did get a Grand Theft Auto game in the form of the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy. I never got around to playing this one, but I seem to remember people saying it wasn’t the best version of these games. With all that being said, will Rockstar and Nintendo strike up a working relationship to get the latest outing on Nintendo’s console.

#6 Will This Be The Best Game Ever?
A bit of a hyperbolic question, maybe. However, I think any generation of gamer over the last 20 years probably has a Grand Theft Auto game somewhere in their top 10. I know Grand Theft Auto IV was my favorite game for a long while. I assume Grand Theft Auto 6 will carry on that trend of being an industry standard for Rockstar. I think it’s safe to say the hype following Tuesday morning is going to be insane.
