6 Takeaways From the GTA VI Extended Look

《GTA VI》超长演示的 6 大看点

It’s safe to say Grand Theft Auto VI is the most anticipated game ever. Thirteen years after the last entry in the series, rampant fervor and speculation about what features the game will include have ratcheted up. Today, Rockstar Games divulged more details through an exclusive livestream event on Netflix called Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look. The spectacle was a 26-minute-long collection of gameplay, cutscenes, and game mechanics.

毫无疑问，《侠盗猎车手 VI》（GTA VI）是有史以来最受期待的游戏。在该系列上一部作品发布 13 年后，玩家对新作功能的狂热讨论与猜测已达到顶峰。今天，Rockstar Games 通过 Netflix 的独家直播活动“Grand Theft Auto VI: An Extended Look”披露了更多细节。这场时长 26 分钟的演示汇集了游戏实机画面、过场动画以及游戏机制。

And boy, does this sure look like a GTA game. The trailer featured Lucia and Jason, the two main characters, driving around Vice City, GTA’s fictional version of Miami. It highlighted all kinds of violence and shenanigans your characters can engage in, and it looks good doing it.

天哪，这看起来确实非常有“GTA 味儿”。预告片展示了两位主角 Lucia 和 Jason 在罪恶都市（Vice City，GTA 中虚构的迈阿密）中驾车驰骋的场景。它突显了角色可以参与的各种暴力和恶作剧行为，而且画面表现相当出色。

The livestream follows a week of gameplay leaks and story spoilers by the hacker group Cyberleek, which Rockstar called “heartbreaking.” A bevy of other details about the game emerged just a day before the event in a story published by the British magazine Dazed. The piece chronicles the extraordinary level of detail and effort Rockstar has put into GTA VI, including how players control the characters and the unprecedented realism that Rockstar put into its satirical sandbox version of Miami.

此次直播是在黑客组织 Cyberleek 泄露游戏画面和剧情的一周后进行的，Rockstar 将此称为“令人心碎”的事件。在活动前一天，英国杂志《Dazed》发布的一篇报道也披露了大量游戏细节。该文章记录了 Rockstar 为《GTA VI》投入的非凡细节与心血，包括玩家如何操控角色，以及 Rockstar 在其讽刺风格的迈阿密沙盒世界中所注入的史无前例的真实感。

It’s bound to be a massive game; today’s reveal shows just how much of a monster it will be. Here are the big takeaways from the livestream.

这注定是一款体量巨大的游戏；今天的展示揭示了它将成为何等庞然大物。以下是本次直播的几大看点。

It Sure Is Pretty

画面确实精美

GTA VI is gorgeous. The cityscapes, nightclubs, and lush natural parks shown all seem vibrant and awash in color. There is a noticeable difference between cutscenes and gameplay, though, as the gameplay clips looked a little flatter and more desaturated than the cinematic cutscenes. That’s kind of a nitpick, though it’s worth noting that in the very first scene—in the dark basement of a crack house—the lighting is so dim it washes out the features of several Black characters around the table.

《GTA VI》画面华丽。展示的城市景观、夜总会和郁郁葱葱的自然公园看起来都充满活力，色彩斑斓。不过，过场动画和实机画面之间存在明显差异，实机片段看起来比电影化的过场动画更平淡、饱和度更低。这虽然有些吹毛求疵，但值得注意的是，在第一个场景——一个昏暗的毒窝地下室中——灯光非常暗，以至于桌边几位黑人角色的面部特征几乎无法辨认。

You Play as 2 Characters Simultaneously

同时操控两名角色

The player can control two characters, Jason and Lucia, a Bonnie-and-Clyde-esque couple who seem to be working out some lingering tension in their relationship as they go about their various criminal activities. The voice acting for the main characters and other non-playable characters (NPCs) feels tightly written, though that’s based on the select clips Rockstar showed. According to Dazed, the relationship between the characters can change over time, and the player’s actions can affect how that plays out. Keep that in mind if you’re hoping for a particular ending.

玩家可以操控 Jason 和 Lucia 这两名角色，他们是一对类似“邦妮和克莱德”的情侣，在进行各种犯罪活动的同时，似乎也在处理两人关系中残留的紧张感。主角及其他非玩家角色（NPC）的配音剧本显得非常紧凑，尽管这只是基于 Rockstar 展示的精选片段。据《Dazed》报道，角色之间的关系会随时间推移而改变，玩家的行为也会影响剧情走向。如果你期待特定的结局，请记住这一点。

GTA VI offers a plethora of options for changing the two main characters’ appearances. Eating too much or too little food affects their weight. Working out can make them swole. The Extended Look also showed off characters eating and working out in minigames. It was a feature in 2004’s GTA San Andreas and in a smaller way in GTA V. Now, that reactivity will be much more fully realized in GTA VI.

《GTA VI》提供了丰富的选项来改变两名主角的外观。进食过多或过少会影响他们的体重。锻炼可以让他们变得强壮。演示中还展示了角色在小游戏中进食和锻炼的画面。这是 2004 年《GTA：圣安地列斯》中的功能，在《GTA V》中也有所体现，但现在这种互动性在《GTA VI》中将得到更充分的实现。

There’s also an array of clothes you can equip your characters with, which Rockstar has apparently coordinated with real-life fashion designers to put in the game. Some of these, however, may only come with the $100 Ultimate Edition that people are very mad about.

游戏中还有各种各样的服装供角色穿戴，显然 Rockstar 与现实中的时装设计师合作将这些服装植入到了游戏中。不过，其中一些服装可能仅包含在售价 100 美元的“终极版”中，这让许多玩家感到非常愤怒。

Maybe Don’t Hit and Run

最好别玩“肇事逃逸”

The NPCs in the game appear much more responsive and interactive than in prior games. According to Dazed, Rockstar has an entire studio in Los Angeles dedicated to working on NPC pedestrian behavior alone. In the Extended Look, gameplay segments with car chases pointedly avoided streamrolling over pedestrians. But NPCs wore yoga outfits, rode scooters, and seemed to have more personality than the cut-and-paste crowds of past games.

游戏中的 NPC 看起来比以往作品更具响应性和互动性。据《Dazed》报道，Rockstar 在洛杉矶专门设立了一个工作室，仅负责 NPC 行人行为的开发。在演示中，汽车追逐的实机片段刻意避免了碾压行人。NPC 们穿着瑜伽服、骑着滑板车，看起来比过去游戏中那种“复制粘贴”式的路人更有个性。

Driving seems greatly improved. When driving, you have a minimap that looks like an actual GPS map guiding you where to go. A car chase saw the main characters running from the police. The player can switch between Lucia and Jason and choose to either drive or shoot at the pursuers. Shooting out tires can cause a car to flip, crash into the sidewalk, and cause environmental destruction.

驾驶体验似乎得到了极大改善。开车时，你会看到一个看起来像真实 GPS 地图的小地图，指引你的方向。在一场汽车追逐戏中，主角们正在逃避警察的追捕。玩家可以在 Lucia 和 Jason 之间切换，选择驾驶或向追捕者射击。射爆轮胎会导致车辆翻滚、撞向人行道，并造成环境破坏。

At one point, a character also body-slams a cop through a wall, which hints at potentially more destructive environments indoors as well. GTA games have been iffy about destructible environments before, though. Sometimes in GTA V you can easily crash through a large light pole but then get instantly stopped by a volleyball net. So we’ll see how reactive everything gets.

在演示中，一名角色还将一名警察撞穿墙壁，这暗示室内环境可能也具有更强的破坏性。不过，GTA 系列在环境破坏方面一直表现不稳定。在《GTA V》中，你有时可以轻易撞断大型灯柱，却会被一个排球网瞬间拦住。所以，我们还得看看最终游戏环境的互动性到底如何。

So Much Room for Activities

广阔的活动空间

Vice City and the surrounding areas seem absolutely massive. It’s also fully Florida, allowing your characters to fanboat around the Everglades, kayak on the rivers, or scuba dive and jet ski in the Gulf.

罪恶都市及其周边地区看起来极其庞大。它完全还原了佛罗里达的风貌，允许你的角色驾驶汽艇在沼泽地穿梭，在河流中划皮划艇，或者在海湾进行水肺潜水和驾驶水上摩托。

One scene from the trailer shows Lucia accidentally kidnapping a livestreaming influencer, then carrying him along through a car chase from the police. Many of the characters use phones and communicate via text. It’s clear that GTA VI has some satirical takes on social media, but we’ll see how relevant it feels in a constantly shifting era.

预告片中的一个场景显示，Lucia 意外绑架了一名正在直播的网红，并带着他一起经历了警方的追捕。许多角色使用手机并通过短信交流。很明显，《GTA VI》对社交媒体进行了一些讽刺，但我们还得看看在瞬息万代的时代，这种讽刺是否依然切中要害。

You Can Pet the Dog

你可以抚摸狗狗

A dog is in at least one scene of the game. Can you pet it? Yes. Yes, you can.

游戏中至少有一个场景出现了狗。你能摸它吗？是的，你可以。

User-Generated Content

用户生成内容

In 2023, Rockstar bought the modding marketplace Cfx and reworked it into an official place to share and purchase user-created mods for the game. That service, along with GTA Online’s Rockstar Mission Creator, which lets users make custom levels and modes, indicates that Rockstar has long realized that GTA is fertile ground for user creativity.

2023 年，Rockstar 收购了模组市场 Cfx，并将其改造成官方平台，用于分享和购买用户创建的游戏模组。该服务，连同允许用户制作自定义关卡和模式的“Rockstar 任务编辑器”，表明 Rockstar 早已意识到《GTA》是用户创造力的沃土。

The Extended Look didn’t show anything suggesting it would advance those user-creation capabilities, but that’s likely because the game is being released as a single-player title before any multiplayer elements are added.

本次演示并未展示任何关于提升用户创作能力的内容，但这很可能是因为该游戏在添加任何多人元素之前，将首先作为单人游戏发布。
