Netflix&#8217;s extended look at the game highlighted the setup, relationship dynamics and dog-petting <em>GTA VI<\/em> introduces, but <em>IGN<\/em> writes the sequel&#8217;s changes also extend to series fundamentals like stealing cars, which will now change mechanically depending on the make and model of the cars players choose to steal.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;We have put some layers of stratification into the vehicles,&#8221; Rockstar co-studio head Rob Nelson tells <em>IGN<\/em>. &#8220;Previously, you could just press triangle to automatically hotwire and steal any vehicle that you wanted and take off. We felt like that left a lot of potential gameplay on the table in terms of progression and decision-making for players. So now, you start off the game and there are certain parked cars that are not accessible to you until you get a bit further along with the story and you acquire certain tools to get into them, but you can always carjack any driver you see.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Nelson&#8217;s hope is these changes will make the vehicles players drive more meaningful. It should also make the process of obtaining them much more varied, according to <em>IGN<\/em>. For example, cars with electronic key fobs might require a key cloner to access, and in some cases vehicles with built-in GPS systems could require players to drive at a certain speed to avoid detection. The game will apparently also feature an in-game app players can use to determine what they&#8217;ll need to steal a car and how much it&#8217;s worth.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>IGN<\/em>&#8216;s article has even more details on <em>Grand Theft Auto<\/em> <em>VI<\/em>&#8216;s new systems and mechanics if you&#8217;re curious. Unfortunately for Rockstar, splashy previews aren&#8217;t the only way new information is trickling out about Rockstar&#8217;s upcoming title. &#8220;Cyberleek&#8221; has continued to share clips of the game in the lead up to the premiere of Netflix&#8217;s exclusive trailer for the game, a situation Rockstar described as &#8220;heartbreaking.&#8221; Take-Two, the studio&#8217;s owner, is currently trying to dig up more information about the hacker or group of hackers behind the leaks, but so far they haven&#8217;t been publicly identified.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2246021\/you-wont-be-able-to-hot-wire-every-car-in-gta-6\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stealing cars will now require different approaches depending on their make and model. &#13;&#13;&#13; &#13; Rockstar Games The actual grand theft auto of Rockstar&#8217;s upcoming&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":80272,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[2079,3402,29068,1437],"class_list":["post-80271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-car","tag-gta","tag-hotwire","tag-wont","wpcat-32-id"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=80271"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80271\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/80272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=80271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=80271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=80271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
