by

Among the expectations for GTA 6,
what is particularly noteworthy is the evolution of online elements.

Because with the previous game,
GTA Online went beyond mere multiplayer and became
a huge piece of content that has been running for over 10 years.

スポンサーリンク

Of course, the next work will be online.

  • Evolution beyond GTA Online
  • Or a completely different form

One or the other is required.

In this article,

  • Why was GTA Online so successful?
  • What was the limit
  • What is likely to change in GTA 6 Online
While organizing

,
we will consider the future.

スポンサーリンク

First premise: GTA Online was “too successful”

GTA Online

  • Content update type
  • Open world
  • PvE・PvP混在
We established the

element at a very high level.

スポンサーリンク

The biggest thing was

  • Can be played solo
  • Easy to return even if you leave midway
  • Role-playing freedom

These three points.

スポンサーリンク

The result is
a game that you can return to even if your life phase changes.

However, GTA Online also had clear limitations

Behind the success,
users who have been playing for many years also felt the following complaints.

インフレquestion

  • The value of money collapses
  • Mission rewards become a mere token
  • Difference between new and veteran

The world has become too chaotic

  • Too many weapons
  • Feeling less realistic and criminal
  • It’s hard to understand what game I’m playing

Hurdles for new entry

  • I don’t know where to start
  • It takes too long to catch up

GTA6 Online cannot ignore these points.

Evolution prediction ① The world’s “sustainability” will be strengthened

In GTA 6 Online,
the world is likely to change more sustainably.

スポンサーリンク

Possible directions are:

  • Changes in the city due to player actions
  • Dynamic changes in crime rate and security
  • Struggle for power in each area

This allows

スポンサーリンク

It is expected that it will become more like a
living society than just a miniature garden.

Evolution prediction ② Role-based online design

In GTA Online,
everyone was a “do-it-all criminal”.

スポンサーリンク

In GTA6,

  • The Courier
  • Information Room
  • Li Fang
  • Citizen with front job

For example,
separation of play by role may become
more clear.

スポンサーリンク

This also coincides with the increasing demand for role play.

Evolution prediction ③ Breaking away from PvP bias

In the previous work,

スポンサーリンク

  • PK is the norm
  • Interference is the norm
  • Design of combat premise
It tended to be

.

In GTA6 Online,

スポンサーリンク

  • Increase in PvE-centered content
  • Deepening cooperative missions
  • A clear risk of hostilities
Depending on

,
the design may not be too brutal.

Personally,
This is the point I would like to see improved the most.

Evolution prediction ④ Redesign of financial and economic systems

GTA Online’s biggest problem is that
money has lost its meaning.

In GTA6,

スポンサーリンク

  • Concept of maintenance costs
  • Business risks
  • Loss due to failure

It is expected that
the sense of tension will return to “earning” as these things become stronger.

A game with little success experience
will not last long.

Evolution prediction ⑤ Changes in session structure

From the conventional structure of “maximum of 0 people per session”

  • Seamless population change
  • Number of people per area limit
  • サーバーfusion
It could be a more flexible structure, such as


.

This allows

  • Excess problems
  • Overcrowding stress
This is because both

can be resolved.

What will be the billing model?

GTA Online’s success would not be complete without
microtransactions.

Also in GTA6

スポンサーリンク

  • Basically not free
  • Billing focuses on time saving and convenience
The

format is most likely.

However,

スポンサーリンク

If you cross the line that makes you feel like you are at a disadvantage if you don’t pay, there is a risk that your evaluation will collapse all at once.

Author’s honest impressions | Please do not spread too much

Honestly,
GTA 6 Online has
more than a “giant game that does everything”

スポンサーリンク

  • A world with clear direction
  • Balance between crime and life
  • Down-to-earth growth
I’m looking forward to

.

While I enjoyed the chaos of the previous game,
I feel that there were many moments where it felt less like GTA.

Summary | GTA6 Online requires “redesign”

GTA6 online is

  • An extension of the previous work is not enough
  • But success factors cannot be thrown away


We are in a very difficult position.

スポンサーリンク

That’s why we need
redesign, not expansion.

If that happens,
GTA6 Online will
become a game that will be played every 10 years again.
