GTA 6 Can Learn Something From The Last of Us 2
At first, it seems likeThe Last of Us 2would be an unlikely source of inspiration forGTA 6, but the way Naughty Dog handled telling a story through two main characters could be fascinating to see in aGrand Theft Autogame. Rumors and leaks have claimed that the two protagonists ofGTA 6, Lucia and Jason, would be a couple inspired byinfamous outlaws Bonnie and Clyde.GTA 6introducing the franchise’s first female protagonist is exciting enough, but showing the events of the story through both Lucia and Jason’s different perspectives would be great.
One of the biggest moments inThe Last of Us 2was halfway through the game when there’s a cliffhanger event involving Ellie and then immediately putting players into antagonist Abby’s shoes. It was an incredibly bold move to leave Ellie’s cliffhanger unresolved until players reach the same point of the story as Abby.GTA 6could use this method as a great way to show the different perspectives of Lucia and Jason. For example, players could control Jason for the first half of the game until the duo gets into major trouble during a big heist, ending in a cliffhanger, then putting players into the shoes of Lucia and showing her side of the story up until that point, or vice versa.
This could be a fascinating new way for Rockstar to explore the personalities of its characters. Jason and Lucia may have different feelings and opinions about what they have gotten themselves into, and this would provide the story with a deeper way to examine that dynamic. Considering recentrumors about Lucia’s character, there may be some even bigger emotions to navigate with her and Jason. That would be new and exciting territory for Rockstar to venture into.
There are expectations thatGTA 6will be very differentfrom its predecessors, and usingThe Last of Us 2’s method of storytelling could be an interesting change for the franchise. As amazing as theGrand Theft Autofranchise has been, it would be a little disappointing to have the same overall story approach asGTA 5. It’s an understatement thatGTA 6has high expectations weighing on its shoulders, and a new way of looking at how the game’s main story unfolds could be a great new start for such a beloved series of games.
