- GTA 6 features Rockstar Games’ most detailed and varied character population yet.
- The NPC improvements point to richer crowds, more believable social spaces, and greater visual variety.
- To make this possible, Rockstar Games built new tools and pipelines for GTA 6.
GTA 6’s latest preview has revealed a lot about the game, including the troubles Rockstar Games went through during development. The slew of details shared today also confirms that GTA 6’s NPCs will be Rockstar Games’ most unique to date.
Why it matters: Previous footage made it clear that NPCs and crowds would be a huge focus in the game as part of the team’s goal of making a lively open-world.
GTA 6 is expected to raise the bar for open-world games, with Rockstar Games saying its character population will be the studio’s most detailed and varied so far.
According to Dazed, GTA 6’s character population is built around greater variety than previous games. This should lead to more differences in clothing, body types, animations, routines, and how crowds are placed across locations.
Developers like motion capture artists, graphics designers, voice actors, and more have collaborated to bring these NPCs to life. Factors like how an NPC moves, how they interact, and express themselves all contribute to the game’s liveliness.
Moreover, Rockstar Games has had to come up with new tools to facilitate this level of NPC detail.
Vice City is built around vanity. So while you’ll find all kinds of people of different sizes, shapes, and ages, their fashion can range from suits and throwdown Hawaiian shirts to muddy combat gear.
Of course, NPC density has also been a talking point across previous GTA 6 footage. Many are hoping to take a closer look at the game’s crowds in action tomorrow through Netflix’s GTA 6: An Extended Look.
