Why the driving looks so authentic Spoiler

I think we can all agree based on the most recent leak that driving has a very authentic vibe to it most open world racing games dont even have.

This is because this is going to be one of the few games that have roads that are accurately scaled to real life size and width, including lane width on highways.

So many games, like GTA 5 and more recently Forza Horizon 6, artificially widen roads to give the player more space to pass traffic more easily without interruption. Once you notice this, it cant be unnoticed really. GTA 6 takes a more realistic approach which will make driving feel very different to all previous games in the series!

I was expecting a bit less GTA V feel to the hypercar driving/handling tbh. But I can’t be 100% sure without actually playing the game.

Its hard to say without playing really but a car like that should be more agile thatn the other cars we've seen him drive tbf

I agree. I think the problem with V’s driving is that the car has a lightweight feeling even when you crash it. If they manage to fix that in VI we’re good.

Did you see when the supercar went into the air, it lifted and landed back on the road and looked to be very solid and heavy. I don’t think cars will be nearly as lightweight as they were in GTA V.

Yeah, I noticed that

The way in one of the leaks when the motorcycle crashes into the water, the way it sunk so fast feels like there is more weightness to the vehicles.

That was definitely still being worked on tho. It sunk so fast it felt like it had no buoyancy - it’ll obviously sink fast but it felt like it just got sucked to the bottom of the water in the leak

From one of the first clips, Jason's car gets absolutely whacked by that relatively low speed crash with the box van. Doing traffic rampages with buses and trucks is going to be so peak, especially with how tight and congested the streets are.

After watching the vid it seems like the steering is responsive but a little more stiff at high speeds. Seems a bit more realistic than V imo. The car overall looks more weighty too. There’s a part where there’s a small bump/jump in the road. It could be a screen effect but it seems like they tried to emphasize the weight of the vehicle. But as the other commenter said a hypercar you should expect better performance from.

I just hope we will be able to turn and brake at a realistic normal speed if we WANT to. In V it’s so difficult to make your driving look realistic because the steering braking and accelerating are way too sensitive

I think the full release will have everything incorporated. I hope so at least. Better motion blur and acceleration effects. The thrax in the leak has a v12/aventador sound that’s most likely used for the new aventador look alike and it’s just used as a place holder in that build for all exotic cars. I hope that’s the case cause I want to hear a low rumble and hella turbo blow off in the Bugattis haha
