3 GTA 5 characters that we don't want to see in GTA 6
(Image via Rockstar Games) GTA 5 gave us some legendary characters. But not every face from Los Santos needs a VIP pass to Vice City. With GTA 6 dropping a new duo, fresh setting, and updated vibes, some characters are better left in the past. Some stories are better left finished, and some personalities? Yeah, we've had enough. Here are three characters that should stay in the past, for everyone's sake. Devin Weston was a BAD villain I Grand Theft Auto 5 1. Devin Weston Devin Weston was meant to be hated, and Rockstar nailed it. A billionaire tech mogul dripping with arrogance, Weston was the face of corporate greed. But let's be real: he wasn't deep, he wasn't layered, and by the end of GTA 5, we'd all had enough of his smug face. GTA 6 promises nuanced characters and morally gray storylines. Weston, with his one-dimensional 'rich guy = evil' energy, just doesn't fit that mold anymore. His role was essential in GTA 5's satire, but Vice City deserves better villains. 2. Wade Hebert Wade was meant to be Trevor's goofy sidekick, but instead, he felt like a weird fever dream you couldn't wake up from. Childlike, awkward, and completely out of sync with the tone of the game, he added little to nothing to the narrative. His scenes were more cringe than comedy. With GTA 6 reportedly doubling down on realism and story-driven depth, Wade would stick out like a sore thumb. Leave the clown shoes at home. The "Very Pointless" Lamar Missions of GTA 5 3. Lamar Davis Yes, Lamar gave us some hilarious moments. That roast? Legendary. But that was one moment . Beyond that, he was stuck in a loop of clowning Franklin, causing chaos and dragging the plot sideways. He never really evolved or grew, and by the end, he felt more like a loud side quest than a true supporting character. In GTA 6, we need characters with depth, not just background noise. Lamar's charm wore off fast, and while we love a good meme, his return would just feel forced. Not every character needs a sequel. GTA 6 has already shown signs of growth with new cities, deeper protagonists, and a world that feels more alive. To match that, it needs a fresh cast, not recycled side-characters stuck in old formulas.

5 upgrades to driving physics we hope to see in GTA 6
Image via Rockstar Games Driving in GTA games has always been part of the fun. But with the bar raised by modern open-world games and simulators, fans are expecting more than just arcade-style drifting and oversteering in Grand Theft Auto 6. Here are five driving physics upgrades we hope Rockstar delivers to make cruising in GTA 6 more immersive and rewarding. 1. Weight and Suspension That Actually Feels Real In GTA 5, a truck and a coupe often handled like distant cousins, but still too close for comfort. We want every vehicle in GTA 6 to feel different. SUVs should lean into corners. Muscle cars should fishtail if you're reckless. Sports cars? Stick to the road like glue. Better suspension modeling can add depth to chases and races. Now that's immersion. Why I HATE to DRIVE in GTA FIVE!! 2. Surface-Based Handling Let's go beyond dry tarmac. GTA 6's map is more diverse than ever with swamps, beaches, rainy cities, and dusty highways. Each surface should impact grip, traction, and braking distance. Driving through mud should slow you down. Wet roads? Make turning at high speed a gamble. A realistic surface response system will push players to drive smarter, not just faster. 3. Tire Wear and Damage That Matters Right now, you can drive across Los Santos on rims without a care in the world. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dermatologista recomenda: simples truque elimina o fungo facilmente Acabe com o Fungo Undo In GTA 6, we want tires that degrade over time, and actually affect how your car performs. Blow a tire mid-chase? Say goodbye to your handling. Drift too much on hot asphalt? Watch that tread disappear. Realistic tire wear and physics would raise the stakes in every getaway. 4. Realistic Crash Reactions Crashing in GTA 5 was often... comical. Bump a lamppost at 80 and your car bounces off like it's rubber. In GTA 6, we want consequences. Crumpling metal. Windshields cracking. A hit to the suspension that throws off your alignment. Realistic crash physics won't just look cooler, they'll force players to drive more cautiously when it matters. How Realistic Are Motorcycles in GTA V? 5. Better Motorcycle and Bike Physics Riding motorcycles in GTA 5 felt more like floating than biking. You could flip through the air and land without much consequence. In GTA 6, we hope Rockstar makes two-wheeled vehicles feel more grounded. Think tighter cornering, more realistic leaning, and dangerous instability at high speeds. Riding a bike should be thrilling, and just a little scary. GTA 6 has the potential to redefine open-world driving. With Rockstar's next-gen tech, we're hoping for physics that are not just pretty, but purposeful. Whether you're escaping cops or cruising through Vice City, realistic driving could be the game-changer fans have been waiting for. Let's just hope Rockstar doesn't nerf it with arcade handling again.

Top 5 things fan hope for in a GTA 4 remaster
In the midst of GTA 6 madness, rumors are circulating about a possible GTA 4 remaster. While GTA 5 continues to be a giant in the franchise, many believe that no one can tell a story like GTA 4. If Rockstar Games can get the remaster right, they may be able to create a remaster that is better than GTA 5. Amidst the immense hype of GTA 6, there have been rumors about a GTA 4 remaster. GTA 6 is set to be released on May 26, 2026, so GTA 5 is still the greatest game of this franchise. However, there are people who think GTA 4 is still the best of the lot. Yes, GTA 4 couldn't reach the level of its successor, but the way this 2008 title shaped up the narrative depth, no other titles has ever been able to do that in this long-hailed series. However, if Rockstar Games sorts some aspects out in the potential remaster, then it can surpass GTA 5 for sure. GTA 4 remaster: Top 5 things Rockstar Games should fix/add in the game GTA 4 remaster is rumored to be in works. | Image via Rockstar Games. In terms of storytelling, GTA 4 is second to none. Despite using three separate protagonists, GTA 5 could never reach the heights set by its predecessor's t's single-protagonist based narrative. However, apart from storytelling, there were several issues with the game. Also, as the title is close to two decades old, there are many things Rockstar needs to add to address today's generation. Here are they: 5. Enhanced performance on all platforms There is no doubt that as a remaster, this rumored title needs serious visual overhaul. GTA 4 was indeed a huge graphical leap from its predecessors, but to stand a chance amidst today's modern-graphics titles, it needs to have huge enhancement in its visuals. Also, as it was only available on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, GTA 4 remaster should be released on all kind of modern-gen consoles, like PlayStation 5 & Pro, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, etc. 4. Modernization GTA 4 was released in 2008. So in order to fit into today's generation, the developers must address some issues. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Advanced Strategic Management IIMK ASMP Apply Now Undo For example: some Quality-of-Life improvements like faster loading times, customizable controls, enhanced user-interface, and many more. 3. Keeping intact the same vibe As it's going to be a potential remaster, there are going to be a lot of changes for sure. But one thing in GTA 4 that Rockstar shouldn't touch is its iconic dark-noir atmosphere. Unlike any other title in the franchise, GTA 4's in-game tone is a lot more graver. 2. Inclusion of DLC Rockstar never stopped providing expansions for GTA Online, but never cared to give one for GTA 5. That's not the case with GTA 4, as it got two - 'The Lost and Damned' and 'The Ballad of Gray Tony.' However, Rockstar needs to add these two DLCs in a single remaster for a seamless experience. Any new DLC would be a bonus. 1. Graphical optimisation This has to be the most needed aspect developers need to assure for GTA 4 remaster. The game runs smoothly on its native consoles, but was a disaster for the PC fans. Even today, the game is not graphically optimised for all PCs, unlike GTA 5. That is why Rockstar Games needs to make sure that the game will be able to run smoothly on all forms platforms.

GTA 6 will be out this time next year - or at least that's the plan
The delay for GTA 6 may have contributed to Avengers: Doomsday switching dates, although plenty of fans don't think the game will meet its May launch date. It was always an act of optimism to expect GTA 6 to launch this year, despite Take-Two's assurances it would meet the initial autumn 2025 release window. As such, news of GTA 6's delay was disappointing but not all that surprising. What was surprising, though, was that Rockstar Games and Take-Two immediately committed to an exact release date. Knowing precisely when it'll launch should make the wait a little easier, especially as by this time next year it'll already be out… hopefully. GTA 6 is scheduled to release on May 26, 2026. It being a Tuesday isn't ideal for anyone who has to go to work, instead of enjoying the game all day, but now that we have that date, it's worth booking your time off now. It's obviously going to be a massive game, so seven straight days of playtime will ensure you don't fall behind in the conversations that will undoubtedly dominate online circles. While Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has tried to downplay the possibility, it's entirely possible GTA 6 will be delayed a second time, especially since previous Rockstar games, like Red Dead Redemption 2, saw multiple delays as well. Some fans are very much preparing themselves for more upset. In a thread on the GTA subreddit, positing how fans would react to a second delay, Redditor HizzOVizzA admits they are expecting it to happen, with more than a handful agreeing. 'My advice to you younger folks. Just don't even think about it. I obsessed over GTA 5 for the two years in between the release date and the launch. Same with Red Dead,' says PapasGotABrandNewNag, adding, 'They both exceeded my expectations. It will be worth the wait.' Rouni_99 also suspects, 'We only got the date so we can feel little bit better, since the game is so highly anticipated. I'd be more surprised if the game actually releases in May rather than faces another, shorter delay.' It's not just fans; other publishers suspect GTA 6 will be delayed again, with a recent report alleging that the game's new release date sparked 'emergency meetings' among companies that planned to launch new games in 2026. Given how monumental the launch of a new GTA game is in the world of entertainment as a whole, it's likely GTA 6's release date has had a ripple effect on more than just the games industry. You just have to look at GTA 6's second trailer. When it dropped, it reportedly saw more views in 24 hours than any movie trailer ever made. The previous record holder? Marvel movie Deadpool & Wolverine. More Trending There are even suspicions that GTA 6's delay contributed to the delay of 2026's big Marvel crossover movie Avengers: Doomsday, which was initially meant to hit cinemas on May 1. According to Deadline, Disney has pushed the movie back to December 18, with the sequel Avengers: Secret Wars also delayed from May 7, 2027, to December 17. No official reason was given, but Disney will certainly be aware of GTA 6's release date and they'll know that even the Avengers isn't as big as a new Rockstar game. After all, if everyone's at home playing the game, that's less people going to the cinema. Email gamecentral@ leave a comment below, follow us on Twitter, and sign-up to our newsletter.

Why should GTA 6 have the refueling feature?
Image via Rockstar Games. There shouldn't be any doubt that GTA 6 is going to be the most realistic game ever. To make this even certain, Rockstar Games pushed its release date one year further, to May 26, 2026. However, according to the Take-Two CEO, this delay was needed to make the game perfect. So, what is perfection here? No doubt it's realism. This is going to be the USP of GTA 6 - interactive NPCs, dynamic weather system, and many more. And to make things even more realistic, GTA 6 should add the vehicle refueling feature. GTA 6 needs to add the refueling feature in its vehicle Refueling feature would be an exciting feature in GTA 6. | Image via Rockstar Games. We have already seen in GTA 5 how passionate fans can become when it comes to their cars. People spend tons of in-game money in the game for vehicle modification. That is why adding a gas meter gauge in the game can add to their obsession towards the in-game car. Yes, it might be annoying to get your car refilled in the middle of a heist, but this is what it is. This is proper realism, which fans have been wanting for years. If players start getting concerned about their cars' fuel level, it will build a great sense of ownership of their vehicular possession, in turn taking immersion to a whole new level. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025: Steel Suppliers From Mexico At Lowest Prices (Take A Look) Steel Suppliers | search ads Search Now Undo Additionally, it will make a layer of strategy to the gameplay of the fans as they will need to make sure everything is in check before a heist or a mission - guns, ammos, and yes, fuel. Also adding the refueling feature would add seriousness in car modifications as well. As refueling will cost in-game money, fans will become more skeptical about customizing their cars - be its parts, weight or any other aspect - which will eventually add to the fuel efficiency and mileage. This feature would also make the game more interactive by making the fuel stations in the game more interactive, rather than just blowing them up. Besides that, fuel stations can be a worthy possessions as well you manage to own one, because if the refueling feature gets added in the game, then not only you, the hole NPC world around you will be dependant on your fuel station.
