Current Events > Will GTA6 have the same shitty controls?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Mash A or X to sprint so unless you grow an extra thumb, you won't be able run/sprint and turn the camera at the same time.

Their games also greatly favour the animations over the responsiveness in the character movement.

You try to turn your character and you feel like your are trying to turn a boat because of the slow animations. You try to do a 180, sometimes the character decides to walk a whole semi circle.

You mash sprint, the character takes time to build up to speed. You let go if the stick and the character doesn't stop immediately.

I feel like there's a guy at rockstar looking at the sales figures and then telling the team "if it ain't broken don't fix it".

Do you think GTA6 will keep the same controls since god knows how many years ago. Or will they actually include modern controls like slight tilt to walk, max tilt to run and R3 or a shoulder button to sprint?

Yes!

i've always played gta on pc, the controls are great

Maybe they'll add skateboarding mechanic that controls like the skate games. It'll make traversal more fun

...This feels like a natural thing for a game that's atleast semi-realistic.

to be fair, V is a massssssssive step up from IV. have you played IV recently? holy shit.

V plays like the perfect game compared to that nonsense. i have no doubt they'll continue to learn, but V was pretty top notch when it came to controls.

I always hated that mash X to run crap

I would for sure buy it.

The Yogsast do various GTA:O maps, one of which is a runners vs cars kind of thing. The runners have to do some basic platforming along a straight path while the cars try to jump off ramps and hit them. It is amazing how often the runners' characters just straight up walk off the narrower bits of the platform.

R* heavily favors realism and muh immersion to actual fun gameplay, so I doubt it'll be changed for GTA6.

GTA:O finally have an option to hold X to sprint than mashing it.
Maybe they'll keep that option, especially since everyone is complaining about button mashing is annoying.
