Fans of the Grand Theft Auto series have been eagerly awaiting more news about the upcoming GTA 6, and they recently got a glimpse of some exciting new features through a patent discovered by a gaming YouTuber.
The patent, filed by Take-Two Interactive (the parent company of Rockstar Games), was approved recently and outlines new technologies that could significantly enhance the way characters in GTA 6 move and interact. The most notable innovation involves a breakthrough in motion capture technology.
In previous games, character animations relied on real-world actors who matched the height and build of the in-game characters. For example, to capture a tall character’s movements, the team would need to find someone who fit that specific description to perform the motion capture.
This new technology, however, will allow Rockstar’s RAGE engine to animate characters of all sizes, weights, and builds without needing specific actors for each variation.
This advancement has sparked speculation that GTA 6 may offer expanded customization options for player characters, particularly in GTA Online. Fans are now hoping this means the ability to adjust a character’s height and weight, providing even more ways to personalize their in-game avatar.
The discovery has generated excitement in the community, with many suggesting that this technology could be a game-changer for both character animations and player customization in the next GTA installment.
While there’s still no official release date or additional details from Rockstar, this patent discovery gives fans something to look forward to as they await further updates.
