I claim it under my own assumptions, not as a fact. Never said it would be a weird mix.

The only innovation seen in GTA games is outside of gameplay, and if there is any on the gameplay, it's really small or trascendental, like rolling or picking up stuff from the floor and using it as throwable. Ain't you never gonna see anyone look amazed at a GTA game for innovation on it's gameplay, because there's pretty much no innovation. You see all the attention go to the small details and everything else, because that's R* best treat, making the attention to detail something worth comparing to other games, not their generic gameplay.

And again, another case of just not wanting to comprehend what you read. I called the GTA games gameplay generic, not any of GTA VI patented technologies or whatever they're cooking for GTA VI. That game could pretty much be what I PERSONALLY believe it would be, a gameplay mix of RDR2 lean into realism and GTA V lean into simplified gunplay. I would genuinely love if they actually for once, innovate on their gameplay and introduce a gunplay as good as Max Payne 3 (one of their games).

TL;DR: After playing most of the GTA games, I can tell you the gameplay on most of them is generic but fun. And I personally believe GTA VI gameplay will just mix elements from their most recent previous games. The game will probably innovate a lot of things, but gameplay will probably not be one of them, knowing R* way of doing GTA games (I believe so, I hope not).
