5 legacy things that GTA 6 could modernize

The GTA 6 gameplay is expected to bring many changes to the Grand Theft Auto series. Several leaks, trailers, and official screenshots have given us a positive notion of the game, leaving many excited to see what Rockstar Games has been cooking for years. While we are all in for the new features, the developer should consider changing or modernizing some already established ones.

On that note, we list five notable legacy features that should be changed in the GTA 6 gameplay.

5 legacy features that Rockstar Games should modernize in GTA 6

1) Bribing cops to let go

Bribing was a part of the Grand Theft Auto series games in the 3D Universe. However, it was not very realistic, as you only had to collect the bribe icon to use the feature. While this is missing from the HD Universe games, Rockstar should consider bringing it back in GTA 6 with a modern implementation.

Whenever Jason and Lucia are apprehended by law enforcement for non-major crimes, they should have an option to bribe the cops and walk free without getting shot, killed, or surrendering.

2) Music streaming while on foot

Streaming music while on the go is a feature the series has yet to implement. Since the in-game characters typically have their mobile phones with them, they should be able to stream the radio stations using earphones.

In GTA 6, this feature will be even better if Rockstar were to allow players to use their Spotify or Apple Music services as an in-game streaming service.

3) Ordering things online

Since the internet and social media are expected to have a major impact on the GTA 6 gameplay, Rockstar should allow ordering certain things online. Currently, players can buy cars, ringtones, and wallpapers in GTA 4 and GTA 5.

The upcoming game should also allow buying clothes, weapons, snacks, and other utilities. This will make certain heist setup missions easy and fast.

4) Spawning at home instead of the hospital

The protagonists always spawn at the nearest hospital after being killed or injured. However, Rockstar should change this aspect and spawn the characters at their safehouse in the upcoming game.

While it makes sense to spawn at the hospital after death or major accidents, if the characters get minor injuries, are knocked out, or faint, they should spawn at their safehouses instead. This will add a new dynamic to the gameplay.

5) Hard Mode gameplay

Most (if not all) Grand Theft Auto titles have a standard difficulty mode. However, GTA 6 should introduce a Hard Mode that players can choose at the very beginning. It should feature low health, more aggressive cops, and slower recovery time.

Since most play GTA games multiple times, introducing a Hard Mode will allow competitive players to showcase their skills and rank them on the leaderboard.
