FAQ
Q: Why did GTA 6 feel too fast with GTA 5's timings? A: Because the higher visual fidelity of GTA 6 made the old pacing feel unrealistic. Rockstar had to slow things down to match the more detailed world.
Q: How are pedestrians different in GTA 6 compared to GTA 5? A: In GTA 6, pedestrians react more realistically. In GTA 5, you could pull out a weapon and they wouldn't react unless you aimed at them. That won't work in GTA 6.
