From the slicked-back hair to his rugged charm, the moment Jason made an appearance on the screen, fans started linking him with the iconic Fast & Furious character, Paul Walker. Most of them are already convinced that Rockstar Games draws inspiration from Walker's character.
The social media has erupted with side-by-side edits of Jason's trailer moments and the memorable scenes of Brian O'Conner from 2 Fast 2 Furious.
A user took on X to share,
'He look so much like Brian (Paul walker) I'm changing his name from Jason to Brian.'
While another user added,
"Anyone else getting the feeling that Jason might actually be a cop? We know he's ex-army, but I don't know what it is about him, he's giving Paul Walker f&f1 vibes,'
comparing Jason to the Walker's role in first Fast & Furious movie.
A user even said that while the delay in release sucks, he's stuck with the idea of Jason being inspired by 2 Fast 2 Furious. The comment read,
"Gta delay sucks but this trailer further reinforces my head canon that Jason is paul walkers character from 2 fast 2 furious.'
Connecting to it, a fan even called him to be young Paul Walker, saying,
'Ironic because the male reminds me of a cop and I'm not really sure why, maybe it's because he kinda looks like a young Paul Walker.'

Another user commented that he believed Jason to be Walker after it was pointed out, but he doesn't have blonde hair or blue eyes. However, he did show some convincing that the character takes up some inspiration from Fast and Furious. His comment read,
'Someone pointed out how similar he looks to Paul walker and now I'm convinced that part of the inspo for this game was 2 fast 2 furious. And before anyone says dumb shit, I know he's not blonde with blue eyes, it's something else about him.'
Some fans are not even sure who they should compare Jason to— Paul Walker, Ben Affleck, or Logan Paul? If this is not a perfection to fuel the needed action amidst the fans and their running wild theories, no idea what would be.

The comparisons didn't just stop at the appearance. The high-speed chases shown in the trailer, apart from the heists and the Fast Five-styled vault-dragging sequence, all have together convinced that Rockstar Games is tipping the hat to the franchise.
GTA 6 is a perfect crime-heist fans' heaven
Official Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 2 just launched. The details and story are amazing!
Or better to say, GTA is Fast & Furious: Vice City Edition, as beyond the looks of Jason, the action sequence from the GTA 6 trailer feels like it's ripped right out of the Fast & Furious movie. The standout moment even featured the truck hauling the massive crate through streets— a clear nod to the infamous bank vault scene of Fast Five. Even Jason's military background and tactical precision traits are reminiscent of Walker's undercover cop persona.
GTA 6 Trailer 2 Reaction, Facts, and Theories | GTFM
The fans are speculating if Rockstar Games have intentionally leaned into a Fast aesthetic, trying to blend some over-the-top vehicle mayhem with the signature crime drama of GTA. If so, GTA VI can definitely deliver one of the most cinematic heist gameplay of the series yet.
With almost over a year until the game's release, the hype for the game will continue to build. Whether it is intentional or not, the resemblance between Jason and Paul Walker has already cemented him as the fan favorite.

5 themes from older GTA games that GTA 6 could modernize
(Image via Rockstar Games) The GTA VI Trailer 2 dropped on May 6, 2025, just days after the game's development delay was confirmed. But despite the wait, fans are more hyped than ever. With Vice City making a grand return and Rockstar teasing deep social commentary once again, one question lingers—which classic GTA themes could Rockstar revamp for the modern era? Here are 5 old-school GTA themes that GTA 6 could upgrade for a new era. 1. The American Dream (GTA IV) Niko Bellic's pursuit of the American Dream in GTA IV was one of the franchise's most grounded story arcs. His journey exposed the myth of success in a corrupt system. In GTA 6 , Rockstar could take this theme further, exploring how today's American Dream is warped by social media, influencer culture, and crypto-fueled illusions of success. Imagine a character chasing wealth and status through Instagram likes and tech scams, only to crash into the same disillusionment Niko faced. All Gangs in GTA San Andreas Definitive Edition - Facts and Curiosities 2. Gang Culture and Loyalty (GTA: San Andreas) GTA: San Andreas gave us unforgettable narratives around gang loyalty and betrayal. In GTA VI, this could evolve into modern crime syndicates, social-media-fueled turf wars, and even politically charged activist groups. With Lucia and Jason operating as a duo, loyalty might once again take center stage, with brutal consequences. 3. Weird America (GTA V) From alien conspiracies to doomsday cults, GTA loves its oddballs. Now throw in crypto bros, AI start-ups in swamps, Flat Earthers, and "Florida Man" headlines, and GTA 6 has the ultimate playground. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Rockstar could go all-in on modern absurdity—and it would still feel grounded in today's America. 4. Identity and Dual Lives (GTA V) Michael lived a double life as a retired criminal and family man. Trevor was chaos personified. Franklin wanted legitimacy but was stuck in the underworld. These identity struggles remain relevant, but GTA 6 could take it further. Think characters juggling criminality with social media personas, or navigating identity in a polarized world. How far can you live a lie before it breaks you? GTA 6 Trailer 2 Nightlife, Missions & Gameplay Leaks Confirmed! 5. Party Scenes Rebooted (GTA: Vice City) The neon-lit nightlife of 1980s Vice City was iconic. Now, imagine that reimagined with modern music festivals, TikTok dance challenges, underground raves, and the influencer club culture of Miami. GTA VI could blend that vibrant energy with dark undertones of crime, drugs, and identity crisis in the social media age. Rockstar knows how to reflect society's madness through chaos, crime, and comedy. With GTA VI, they're not just modernizing gameplay—they're updating the cultural mirror. And we can't wait to see what stares back.

5 risks Rockstar should take with GTA 6
Image via Rockstar Rockstar has never been afraid of shaking things up, and with GTA 6, the stakes (and expectations) are sky-high. But while fans want the signature chaos, satire, and sandbox freedom, what could truly set GTA 6 apart is the courage to take creative risks. Here are 5 bold moves Rockstar should take to make GTA 6 legendary. 1. Let Choices Actually Matter Rockstar could go full throttle and make our choices actually matter. Not just which mission you do first, but real, long-term impact. Relationships. Territory control. A city that remembers your actions. Games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 scratched the surface—GTA 6 could go all in. Yes, it's harder to build. But the payoff? Immersion like never before. GTA 6 but you play a COP? #theprecinct #GTA6 #openworld 2. Let Us Play as the Cops Imagine being on the other side for once. GTA has always let us wreak havoc as criminals, but what if we got to enforce the law too? A playable cop character, especially in a story that blurs moral lines, could add insane depth. Think car chases from both sides, ethical choices, and corrupt systems. It's risky, but it would flip the GTA formula in a genius way. 3. Dynamic Online + Single Player Crossover GTA Online is massive. But imagine if your story mode progress affected your online experience—or vice versa. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Own a business in single-player, and it gives you perks online. Fail to save a character in the campaign? He's not available online. It would be ambitious and complex to sync—but it would also make both modes feel connected and alive. 4. Heist Builder Mode We've pulled off some epic heists in GTA 5. Now let us create them . A mode where players design, plan, and execute custom heists could be revolutionary. Pick your crew, map your route, choose your tools—then share it with others. Risky? Sure. But if anyone can pull off DIY chaos in style, it's Rockstar. GTA 6 WORLD REVEAL 6 Big Cities, 40+ Locations 😱 FULL Breakdown! 5. Go Global Why stop at Vice City? Rockstar could risk adding international locations—short trips to places like South America, the Caribbean, or even Europe for certain missions. It's costly and ambitious, but it would raise the bar for open-world storytelling. 6. Break the Mold with Real-Time Events Imagine a hurricane sweeping through Leonida, shutting down roads, altering missions, or triggering massive community-wide events. Real-time chaos (weather, crime waves, politics) would make the game world feel truly alive . It's ambitious, but it would redefine open-world storytelling. Playing it safe won't win GTA 6 any awards or break any records. Rockstar built its legacy on pushing boundaries. Let's hope GTA 6 does exactly that by taking risks that make the world talk, argue, and (of course) keep playing.

5 things GTA 6 can learn from The Last of Us
Image via Rockstar GTA 6 is going to be massive. But if Rockstar wants to level up the story game like never before, they should take a few notes from The Last of Us — Naughty Dog's emotionally gut-punching masterpiece. Sure, GTA is all about chaos, crime, and crazy open-world freedom, but sprinkling in just a bit of what made TLOU iconic? That's the cheat code to legendary. Here are 5 things GTA 6 can (and should) steal from The Last of Us playbook: 1. Make Players Care About the Characters The most iconic thing about The Last of Us isn't the infected — it's Joel and Ellie. Their bond is what carries the game, drawing players into their world emotionally. GTA 6 can benefit from deeper character relationships that go beyond surface-level criminal partnerships. We need protagonists who evolve, feel pain, grow over time, and make us care about them. Lucia and Jason already show promise, but Rockstar can double down on humanizing them, not just through cutscenes, but through in-game moments that reveal vulnerability. 2. Ground the World in Real Emotion and Consequences One of The Last of Us 's strengths is how every choice and action feels meaningful. Characters suffer consequences. Violence has weight. Death isn't just a game mechanic — it leaves an emotional scar. In contrast, GTA 5 often treated chaos like a punchline. For GTA 6 to grow, Rockstar should bring more gravity to its world. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo If a character dies, it should matter. If a heist goes wrong, it should impact relationships. GTA 6 Weapons & Combat 3. Refine Stealth and Combat Mechanics While GTA has always been about explosive action, The Last of Us showed how smart, fluid stealth can enhance tension and immersion. Rockstar could revamp its clunky stealth mechanics to allow for quieter, smarter play — sneaking into compounds, silently disabling guards, or using the environment more tactically.. 4. Environmental Storytelling That Actually Speaks The Last of Us is famous for telling mini-stories through graffiti, abandoned homes, and the world itself. You learn about people who died, lovers separated, communities torn apart — all without a word spoken. GTA 6 could benefit from this subtle form of storytelling. A messy apartment could reveal a drug addict's decline. A boarded-up mansion might hint at Vice City's class divide. Why GTA 6 Can't Afford to Be Bad 5. A Story That Isn't Afraid to Take Risks Naughty Dog wasn't afraid to polarize players with The Last of Us Part II . Whether you loved or hated its direction, it took bold narrative swings — and GTA 6 should too. Rockstar has often played it safe by relying on familiar tropes and sarcastic humor. But with a new generation of gamers craving meaningful stories, it's time to take risks with character deaths, moral ambiguity, or even narrative structure. Make players argue. Make them uncomfortable. Make them feel something. GTA 6 has the potential to be more than just the next sandbox playground. By borrowing emotional depth, risk-taking, and immersive storytelling from The Last of Us , Rockstar can redefine what an open-world crime epic can be.
