• In one clip, protagonist Jason gets into a car, and the interface displays both an HP meter and a gas level indicator.
• Though they've circulated widely enough that finding them takes little effort, the clips aren't being linked directly.
• Amongst the most significant leaks are those concerning how the police chase the players.
• This would allow the players to create it harder for the police by changing clothes or abandoning their car during a chase.

In one clip, protagonist Jason gets into a car, and the interface displays both an HP meter and a gas level indicator. Other clips reportedly show contextual options to greet or taunt nearby NPCs, hinting at deeper social interactions than previous entries offered.

Amongst the most significant leaks are those concerning how the police chase the players. Rather than just a general wanted level, the game allegedly reveals all of the data the police have gathered regarding the players; face, attire, and even car.

This would allow the players to create it harder for the police by changing clothes or abandoning their car during a chase. This way police confrontations would be more like puzzles than simple shootouts.

Since its food, drink, bath and camp systems brought it closer to becoming a true life simulation game, and the inclusion of a fuel management system would move GTA the same way, there is no coincidence in the parallel between this game and Red Dead Redemption 2.

Fuel management in particular risks frustrating players who just want to drive and shoot without logistics getting in the way. Rockstar could soften that by offering a cheat to disable the system entirely, and PC players will probable find mod-based workarounds regardless of what ships at launch.
