My big question is, "do they use gas like a regular car (meaning that I can drive 300-400 in-game miles on a single tank) or are they fast-draining bullshit like so many video game flashlights?" Because that bullshit isn't realistic or fun.

This is F1GP2 all over again!

None of them plug in?

Wonder how the gas prices are going to be in GTA 6. They're going to be probably way more expensive than in real life. Probably $10 $20 a gallon.

If I wanted realism, I'd just steal a real car.

That's a fun idea...on paper in reality that's annoying as heck and should not be in the final build of the game.

Two things immediately spring to mind: - will there be electric vehicles or do we just entirely ignore the last decade? - will the gas tank behave similar to a flashlight battery in a horror game, i.e. empty after 5 seconds of continuous use?

You report on this but not on Wolverine's mandatory knife sharpening mechanic.

Senseless realism for the sake of realism at the cost of fun.

If having to get Gas will pull you into the "Broke" zone even in GTA 6 ..then ..I'm cycling EVEN in GTA 6! 😅😭

Looking forward to the mission where you have to lead the cops on a Ford Bronco-style low-speed chase because if you get the lead out you'll run out of gas in the first minute

Yet you still need to hold x to run like it's 2005 lmao

The real question is can you siphon gas from other cars

Should have gone full EV in the latest version. Show the added torque and acceleration accurately in the gaming experience.

This is basically just breakable weapons from Zelda all over again

Also will turn signals finally be added?

They need to add connivence stores attached to the gas station so I can drive by and go “maybe I’ll grab a snack while I fill up I won’t be able to have lunch till later anyways” they should also add the Circke K 3 dollar meal deal as a healing item.

Microtransaction Gas... 🫥

We’re gonna need a Costco then

Wouldn't be Rockstar if they didn't add completely useless, arbitrary mechanics to their games while also being overworked and overbudget.

just steal another car nerds

Xenoblade X had a fuel mechanic for the Skells and it was almost never relevant

So this will work one of two ways 1: it drains slow like mad max which will just make it kinda annoying that you have to pull over from time to time to fill up or 2: it drains like your car gets 0.5 miles a gallon and make it annoying even if you just steal every time you are out of gas

Yeah but you're weirder for wanting to play fucking grand theft auto

Looks like those sim elements are actually making its way to the singleplayer. Interesting. I bet it's not a big chore and is only to get you ready for the actual chore it will be in multiplayer.

If you run out of gas you can just steal another car.

“Team mate I’m under fire across town!” “I don’t have gas money to help ya bruh!” And then you get blown up by a racist 12 year old on a hover bike and told to kill yourself

Chores are not immersive if they don't come with risks or tradeoffs. Money in GTA offline has little purpose, because you essentially can get an infinite amount of it if you grind enough. Without a meaningful gameplay decision, it just wastes your fucking time. Rockstar *loves* wasting your time.

At first, I read this as GTA 6 reveals new gas leak mechanic.

Also, given GTA's history of car mods... could be interesting to mod (almost) any vehicle to electric with a solar panel on the roof/hood/trunk. Could be an option to let most any car go indefinitely, just not super /fast/ indefinitely.

Everyone's been very kind

This is great news for roleplayers. In GTA5, they had to mod that feature in.

This was the last truly transgressive thing they could do: Force people to acknowledge the inconvenience and absurdity of burning fuel for propulsion.

it’s GTA, I’m just gonna jump out of the car & steal another one when it runs out of gas :)

Calling it: you have to pay for it with real money.

"First" big debate? Were you born after the huge argument a couple months ago when it came out there'll be no physical copies of this game on any platform?

Vindication for the NES Ghostbusters game after all these years

Lemme guess, you can only drive for 5 seconds before you run out of petrol

Far be it from me to judge since I've never played a GTA. But wow. This sounds obnoxious as fuck.

I couldn't care less about GTA, could be interesting and experimental, but here's the problem, every other game trying to implement this shit and that's when it becomes annoying and a big problem

Haha - no Leslie to push back this time.

And it's going to be a shit game regardless of if the feature stays

All the cars I steal have full tanks. When they run out, I steal new cars. Dingo Dog, GTA World Champion 1978-1995

It’s cute you guys kept a word which no one on the planet uses in the same context.

gas(oline) is not petroleum. It is the same as petrol, which is a distillate of petroleum. People who set out to languge-police invariably make more mistakes.

I swear I will follow you to the end of my days, on watch for when you say you're going to the "petrol station"

It's short for gasoline you fucking moronic sack of shit

They are doing ass,gas, or grass?lol what a waste to wait on this bullshit

Yes, wasting gas in rush hour. So true like simulation

Still not buying. #BoycottRockstar
