These are five reasons why GTA 6 will be the most expensive game ever made.

0:34.8

I can't wait for it. I know it's super expensive. I know how expensive, but tell me why.

0:38.9

The first thing that makes it super expensive is they're going to have in-game social media. In-game social media.

0:44.0

So you can actually scroll through on your phone and have a profile and account. Yes. So I have a

0:47.8

description for every single thing here. So GTA features a TikTok-style platform where every crime you

0:53.6

commit goes viral, making NPCs recognize you

0:57.2

and film you in public. Okay, wait. So you can actually scroll TikTok in the game. Is that basically

1:02.2

what you're saying? Correct. And I think that they have an automated TikTok that the NPCs view,

1:06.6

and it depends on how viral your crime goes. You'll become a famous character in the game. But so people scroll too much in real life. So we're going to scroll in the virtual life, the video game world as well? Yes. Yeah, fantastic. Great idea, GTIA. Moving on with the NPCs. So the NPCs are going to be extremely advanced AI. That's the second thing. So every NPC has adaptive memory. If you cause chaos,

1:29.0

they remember your face and react differently to you next time. So is this program differently

1:33.5

in every single game? So every single game you play in GTA is going to react differently.

1:37.7

No, it's, I think that if you punch a person, I think it's saying basically if you create chaos

1:43.7

around the people, they'll either be afraid of you or angry at you. If you punch someone in public, next time they see you, that NPC sees you, they're going to come after you. But so like I'm playing the game, same generative character, right? Oh, geez, that's a tough word. Yeah. Yeah. Same character. Your guy's going to react differently than my guy, meaning our games

2:01.6

are going to be completely different. Correct. Which is nuts to think about. It depends on how you play the game. Yeah. Another thing is that they're going to have tactical law enforcement, which means in GTA 6, police no longer just spawned. So in GTA 5, they just spawned randomly. They're going to use canine units, riot shields, and real tactics to flank you and trap you.

2:19.7

Yeah, because GTA5 and the GTAs previously, I feel like it was easy to escape the cops because they would always generate and just spawn behind you. Yes. But they're actually going to put together like police tactics to catch you. Yeah. So they probably studied police tactics and they're going to use them in the game. Another thing is that there's persistent world damage. So that means environmental destruction, like a gas station explosion, can remain for days as NPCs arrive to fix it. Yeah, this is just basically real life now. Yeah, it's basically real life. Like they've literally turned GTA6 into real life. Yeah, so NPCs are going to have jobs. They're going to have memories. They're going to be like robots in the game. I can't really blame them for taking so long to build it. I agree. And then the last thing is that there's going to be dynamic physical change to your character, which means character change in real time based on your habits. Gym training builds muscle while junk food adds weight. Yeah, no. Okay, it's a simulation now. Yeah. So you can't just pay for your, so you can't just pay for your guy to be ripped and have tattoos and stuff. You have to like earn that by putting your guy in the gym and having him eat healthy. This is making me start think that we are GTA six. Makes me start think. It makes me start thinking. Is that not right? No, you just said, makes me start thinking that this is not, no, sorry. Makes me start thinking that this is not, no, sorry. Makes me start thinking. Stop! Now you're gonna be right. It's starting to make me think that we are GTA 6. Yes, I agree. That we are a simulation that someone else created. So

3:42.1

some higher power play GTA 6, air quotes, and it's us now. I totally agree. We could be in a

3:48.5

video game. It makes me feel like it's ready player one in real life. Yeah, that's the one that's
