My friend is a GTA obsessive fan like how I am for Hitman.
He shared me this video of a youtuber who explained the technical gameplay/animation for upcoming GTA 6 based on 5 technical patients.
It’s in Hindi and there is audio option to change to English.
In short - the npc are going to be more realistic. I personally liked their “Runtime Animation Retargeting” concept (US20250095261A1 - System and method for runtime retargeting - Google Patents). More description in the video.
I was wondering where I´d seen that before… 
Watched the “trailer” the other night, and… yeah, got nothing to say really. It´s essentially what I expected it to be. Quite a lot of new mechanics (new for GTA that is), which is neat (especially the revamped Wanted system), and the open world seems like it will be gorgeous (still, I´m wondering if one gets to see so much fauna there IRL, or if Miami itself has so much helicopter traffic) with lots of potentially fun stuff to do. Nothing that would seem interesting story-wise, but then again, they didn´t really focus on that.
The only thing that didn´t click with me were the visuals, specifically the lighting. It felt too… dark and bland? Probably just a filter thing I guess, but hopefully it´ll be adjustable in the settings. Not that I care at this point, since I´ll be waiting a year or more for the PC release…
Watching people get excited that you have to wipe out CCTV footage.
Meanwhile I’m used to the idea, lol.
