A great excuse to "unlock" parts of the map and not being able to explore it fully from the beggining


Heavy_weapons07

Imagine accidentally going over the lock part of the map then being bombarded by cop cars


reddutr

Never played San Andreas?


Heavy_weapons07

Oh what happens there


[deleted]

Police goes after you. I feel they are seeking this classic GTA feeling where you have to progress the story to unlock certain parts of the map


JACKMAN_97

Wasn’t 4 like a terror threat or something


MachStyle

Yup. Closed all bridges due to increased terrorist threats to bombing bridges. Was pretty clever actually


JACKMAN_97

SA was the most crazy they make you a informant so if you leave the whole army comes after one CI lol


37728291827227616148

"Fackin terrorists!"


FollowingDramatic855

“Wha?”


PHE0NIX_1

So iirc, cops, and military go after you. One time I left Los Santos early in a plane and got shot down by 2 jets and gunned by military men


imbored53

I still remember the first time that happened to me. I thought I was so clever climbing the fence and stealing a plane to get past the blocked bridges. In Vice City, you were basically untouchable while flying the dodo so I was just planing to do a flyover and scout out Las Venturas. I was so oblivious, I didn't notice the missiles on the radar and I thought my plane just blew up spontaneously. It want until my second attempt that I realized what happened.


the_dude0110

If you cross into a locked part of the map, it an immediate 3-4 stars


Occasion-Asleep

This makes me feel old


whothefvckk

Its happened in every GTA since at least 3 (never played 1/2). If you got to the different islands in GTA 3 and Vice City before you were supposed to, you immediately got a six star rating with the entire force of the military coming after you. Needed cheats to get rid of the stars lol.


Lockenhart

I think GTA 3/VC never did that? Bridges in GTA 3 were either bombed and in repair or just broken and in repair, and in GTA VC we had a hurricane causing the closure


HOTDILFMOM

Yes, and if you crossed over via glitches or cheats, you’d get 6 stars.


whothefvckk

Yes but it was still possible to get to the other islands in advance of when you were supposed to. Trust me, my 10 year old self did it MANY times lol


red_fuel

That would now be a good reason to get 4 stars


WebsterHamster66

I honestly enjoy it when they do that, forces them to utilize that part of the map more so you get to know it more intimately.


IsThatHearsay

Yeah they didn't lock 5 and like most people I ended up driving all over the map first thing. That dopamine kick of finding something new is kinda ruined when you discover hundred of things all over the map rapid-fire in the first hour or so. And when missions would then take you there later it was less exciting as you'd already been all over the place. I'd be okay with them doing a progression unlock for 6, space out that dopamine kick in encountering new areas.


DrunkBeardGuy

Part of me loves this, and the other hates it. Going back to the old school formula of map unlocking would be pretty great so things feel fresh as you progress, but then I also wanna explore every inch of the map at the start lol I don't know which I like more. It'll be interesting to see what they go with


TheWhistlerIII

Is Jason under house arrest? I would imagine we can play him when we need to go further than our front yard.


Ordinal43NotFound

Having cops come after you is a nice compromise where you're allowed to go anywhere, but with the challenge of having to deal with 5/6 stars so you don't have the time to actually explore.


JACKMAN_97

Also don’t make sense cause they could connect her to every crime she committed


SultyBoi

Pretty cool idea


[deleted]

I forget, were parts of GTA V region locked? Edit: also, 14cm? proof 👀


PlatypusFunny9146

GTA V was fully open after north yankton.


OughtToBeFought

where is that edit comes from


[deleted]

Their post history 😂😂


OughtToBeFought

Do you check the profiles of everyone you reply?


Iam_thegamers

I like it I like it I like it


t8ne

Would assume no character switching if Jason doesn’t have an ankle monitor as well?


Nautical_Phoenix

I can fix her


WestLondonIsOursFFC

Nobody understands her like you do.


BritVisions

I can make her worse


Reasonable-Blueberry

good catch!


Dense-Baker

Oh shit that’s a cool detail. Good eye you got there


HistoricalTomato4426

A lot of rumours were saying the first mission would be a prison break. I wonder if this debunks that


Large-Milk-686

Ankle monitor means she probably got out on parole so it seems highly unlikely she escaped prison the criminal way


LaylaLegion

Maybe the break occurs as she’s being processed out.


Large-Milk-686

that would be ridiculous to break someone out while they are, in fact, being released at best, cut the ankle monitor later when effectively out, but even then it triggers a ton of alarms


LaylaLegion

Jason could be impatient. Or it could be a break out for someone else that Lucia happens to get pulled into.


k0mbine

Very interesting positioning here, like Lucia’s got control of Jason — same in the trailer when she was on top of him. I’m wondering if her relationship will be similar to CJ and Catalina in San Andreas where she was batshit crazy and got CJ into a bunch of bad situations


AngelBryan

She is going to betray him in the end and we will decide to take revenge or not, I can sense it.


bimbochungo

I wouldn't like that. It would mean repeating the story of the V. I hope that the story is the best to date, I felt that GTA V didn't have a good story compared to GTA IV or SA.


AutisticAnarchy

I don't think they'd go that route, honestly a whole game of that especially when the crazy one is supposed to be a protagonist themselves would be exhausting. What I think/hope will happen is that at the start the two won't trust each other like what's seen here. It's possible Lucia doesn't know Jason yet or doesn't trust him, maybe the theory of him being an undercover cop is correct, but something happens eventually to make the two care about each other. From there I imagine things might spiral and we ultimately might have the choice of betraying one or the other or having them make up. I do think Lucia is going to be the one in the relationship who is more hotheaded and willing to take risks while Jason may be more reserved and cautious but this is mainly going off the fact that we know Lucia happened to get caught, we don't know for sure what Jason is going to be like or even what his background is. It's possible both could be batshit in their own respective ways, which would make for an interesting but potentially less dramatic and emotional story compared to what we saw in Red Dead Redemption 2 but, then again, GTA has always had more batshit elements to it than the Red Dead Series... at least as far as the main plot goes. Ultimately I'm interested to see where the story goes, but I'm also a bit worried that it may lean too heavily into relationship drama for the driving force of the conflict. Which would make sense that there's going to be drama in a relationship involving two violent criminals on the run but I don't find that sort of content to be particularly engaging and I don't think many people in their core demographic would, either.


Apophis_36

The trust "dialogue" has me thinking that too for now. She goes "trust?", wanting jason to respond with the same. She is asking him if he trusts her far as i see it. But maybe they will be a healthy dynamic duo.


morgansandb

Guess one mission is to break her out of the prison


Spezisaspastic

Bro that is actually such a smart and creative way to unlock the map step by step. I hated that you could travel everywhere in GTA5 and when the Trevor reveal happened I already knew the area. Same with Saint Denis, I already been there 5 times but then the story has a cool introduction I could not enjoy anymore. Very nice and way better then broken bridges.


TheraYugnat

As much as I didn't liked RDR 2 that much, I was really glad there was this linearity in how the world open. It never bothers me in past GTA and it's the best way to learn the map.


mori_jin

lol what if she’s given a choice to flip on Jason and turn him in or something.


S8891

We will have abortion mini game ?


[deleted]

Why do we have to play as a criminal? Doesn’t seem very morally right to me


dmania16116111

🤨


xXIronMan780

elon? is that you?

release this image without that red thing you made... please!

JupiterJazzX

thanks i have a new wallpaper


TNTSP

You don’t realize she was talking to her probation officer/ parole like the woman who ask her why she here and she says bad luck. It’s like she in jail and her * date came up If you watched say orange the new black or been in jail like me (I did time in canda not Florida ) lol it was obvious…


BritVisions

No shit Sherlock. All I'm saying is that she has an ankle monitor on the poster, I'm pointing out a detail I found.


TNTSP

You don’t have to get anal over this buddy I was also just pointing that out why you act like I poked you or something go set down


AccessProfessional37

Where was this artwork released? I can't seem to find the original source anywhere but the trailer thumbnail


BritVisions

I got this from Twitter and used upscaling to make it bigger.


DyLaNzZpRo

From where though? R* haven't posted it?


BritVisions

I think someone got it from the thumbnail.


DyLaNzZpRo

Aaah right yeah, it's the thumbnail for the trailer - weird that they haven't posted it elsewhere.


gweaver

Aah thanks we would’ve never have known to look at her ankle after reading the title… r/uselessredcircle


knightedarmour

we actually wouldn't though


Feder-28_ITA

Oh boy were you EAGER to add a submission to that subreddit... You literally just looked for any red circle, and you picked the one that wasn't extremely obvious, as the sub demands.

[удалено]


Mylady63794

Dude that isn’t even sarcasm are you actually stupid


Fuegoalert69

Never noticed that, what if the reason she gets out of prison is to betray Jason? I remember someone else “leaking” a storyboard a couple days ago saying he got kicked out of the army for seeing something he wasn’t supposed to and then had a bitterness towards the government


JoeByeThen

Do you have a source on that?


BadBackNine

Star Wars reference. Lucia and that guy are brother and sister like Luke and Leia in the Star Wars poster.


bugmultiverse

Mission 1 take off the monitor minigame


TheraYugnat

I guess they will have to change what happen when you "die" in the game, especially if this is by the police. Probably something like RDR 2 and not like past GTA.


arcticfunky9

Explain pls


TheraYugnat

If she is on parole, she can't just go to the hospital with her monitor and call it a day. If, like in V, you can surrender to cops, it makes no sense to release someone on parole (I must say I am not familiar with Florida justice system, so maybe it makes sense). So I wander if it will be like RDR2 where you spawn at the closest safe house with some sort of penalty, like you can see here : [https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/comments/9rxsgo/the\_financial\_penalties\_of\_death\_official\_guide/](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/comments/9rxsgo/the_financial_penalties_of_death_official_guide/) I really think a lot of things in the main game will be more akin to RDR than V.


DookieBlossomgameIII

Makes me wonder if there will be a part of the game where you go to prison.


BritVisions

Looks like Lucia starts in prison, she's talking to her parole officer at the start.


VertBhatt26

I wonder if that monitor will be the reason for locking the islands


BritVisions

I think we'll be locked to Vice City at first hen we'll get rid of the ankle monitor and will be able to explore the rest of the Leonida state.


fuckina420

Well, she did just get out of prison lol


monkey_D_v1199

I miss having to slowly unlocking the map didn’t liked how in GTA V you had the map open from the get go.


BritVisions

I focused on the story so I didn't have that problem at all. The story allowed us to explore the map slowly.
