On in-game wild life:

>GTAVI features over 170 animal species across the map, which include Leonida-native species that have never appeared in a Rockstar game. This includes over 60 bird types, more than 30 land mammals, plus various fish, reptiles, and more. Rockstar vice president of dynamic art, Michael Kane, specifically confirms the inclusion of manatees, flamingos, pelicans, and, as previously shown, alligators. Kane confirms players will encounter different shark species, whales, rays, turtles, and jellyfish, which all have distinct movement behaviors. Leveraging Rockstar’s work on the Red Dead Redemption series, animals will even display iridescence, bioluminescence, translucency, and feather types, plus new hair and fur systems for coats and pelts. Furthermore, fur is fully simulated and set up for “human-to-animal interaction with dirt matting and clumping in environmental contexts, including getting wet, as well as color and coat variations,” Kane explains.

Weather systems and hurricanes:

>“We have re-engineered our weather system to make everything much more localized and persistent, and really wanted the world to feel dynamically solid and achieve a sense of scale we haven’t felt before,” Shepherd says. “The world features new fully dynamic cloudscapes that roll across the map, these give us a broad spectrum of weather from the clear blue skies of a Miami winter to the vertiginous cumulonimbus clouds with sporadic lightning that you see most afternoons in the Floridian summer and autumn.”

>An updated wind system includes “offshore breezes after sunset, convectional updrafts, and occlusion from buildings,” according to Shepherd. “Hair and debris will swirl around on roof-tops; gusts of wind will blow ripples over the water surface and bend the grass in swamps.”

>And yes, Leonida will indeed experience tropical storms and hurricanes. Although Shepherd doesn’t share how often these major storms occur and how gameplay or the story will be impacted, he paints a picture of how they will be depicted, saying that “heavy clouds, strong winds, dense atmospherics, and a lot of rain combine so that everything is dripping wet, water is gushing off roof edges and lampposts, thunder rumbles and flashes of lightning light up the clouds dramatically.”

NPC variety:

>"Rockstar crafted Leonida’s citizens with an unprecedented level of detail and nuance. NPCs now vary in height and have different body types with specific differences in areas such as musculature, local weight gain in chests/busts, stomachs, and, yes, butts. Different skin types are also represented, with details such as freckles, moles, and tanning now evident. Kane adds that Rockstar also “paid a crazy amount of attention” to making culturally correct tattoo styles that fit Leonida’s diverse communities and regions. Hair and body grooming will also have better visual representation featuring far more ethnic styles."

• Newly confirmed activities in GTA 6 include billiards, mini-golf, zoos and air boating

I thought I'd share this interesting detail i noticed.

Here are 2 screenshot, one from minutes after the collectors box was announced and one from a few hours later

Take note that they removed the names of some islands on the map included in the box

Thoughts?

Here's the key takeaways from their post summing up all the documents:

— You can't mess with game stories or worlds: no expanding, changing or merging storylines, missions or maps from Rockstar games, and no using actors' voices without permission

— Multiplayer mods are only allowed through the official platform (so no RAGEMP, only FiveM)

— Monetization is only allowed through Rockstar-approved platforms (even Patreon is probably off-limits)

— No casinos, gacha mechanics or other real-money features

That's how it is.
