Creators previewing Grand Theft Auto VI saw NPCs botch robberies unscripted, surprising even Rockstar staff during demos.

GTA 6 defaults to free aiming, limits each character to two 'long guns' and moves sprinting from repeated button taps to L3.

An IO Interactive AI programmer says Grand Theft Auto VI crowds run real NPC AI, not looped animations, calling it years ahead of the industry.

Rockstar North's Rob Nelson says current console builds of Grand Theft Auto VI run at 30 FPS, with no 60 FPS mode confirmed yet.

Grand Theft Auto VI leads Rockstar's mainline games at roughly 80 hours for the main story, ahead of Red Dead Redemption 2 at 50 to 51 hours.

80 hours to play, a Vice City twice the old size, a map three times Red Dead's. GTA 6 is shaping up to be the biggest thing Rockstar has ever built.

Rockstar told Dazed that Grand Theft Auto VI trades consequence free rampages for reactive NPCs, police, and lasting story choices.
