They should have a hardcore achievement like New Vegas from beginning to end without switching it off in your playthrough. GTA 6 should also change the controls to keep tapping L3 to make it as difficult as possible fot hardcore mode hahaha

You have to tap L3 and R3 in an alternating pattern, as they correspond to the left and right legs respectively. It's a bit like QWOP.

u/Hot_Commission_2738 7h ago edited 7h ago

I hope it’s fake. At the very least, I hope it’s available as an option. Besides, using L3 is the quickest way to get stick drift on your controller, the X button simulates exhaustion when running, and we had walking, running, and sprinting. I’m afraid they may have also removed the three camera distance options: close, normal, and far.

13

u/JenJenB_ 6h ago

Literally my thoughts but I wasn't certain until I saw other people say it as well.

I played a game that didn't require L3 much at all for years and never problems, then I played one that did for like a month and ended up with so much stick drift issues that I had to change controllers.

There will likely be a legacy control option if it's the but I hope it's wrong, pressing X let's you decide exactly how fast you want to run based on the intensity and also holding for a light jog over tapping sprints so it offers more control than L3.

u/HonestRule9962 6h ago

Should do what rdr2 did. You run at like 90% speed when holding x and tapping it makes you fully sprint and over the course of the game the difference between holding and tapping gets bigger.

u/JoshyRB 6h ago edited 6h ago

But how does this affect sprint speed?

Previously you could:

  1. Hold for jog.
  2. Slow mash for run.
  3. Fast mash for sprint.

Do you only have one mode of speed now?

No mashing is great for accessibility, but for control it’s not.

Also at least for me, pushing the stick down or continuously holding it down while wiggling it around is awkward. Mashing isn’t fun either though.

Edit: I forgot about this because I just do it subconsciously, but you can control speed on a joystick by controlling how far you tilt it. This is why controllers/joysticks are great for racing games and driving in games. So at least on console or with a controller it will be fine, you’ll still have the control you need. I do still wonder how it’ll work on PC however because you can’t exactly just push W down lightly.

Fuck yes! Best decision they could have made.

Weird that anyone would prefer tapping X. That’s so outdated and annoying

So, only two on foot movement modes? Which means gently holding the joystick to walk?

Do people really like the idea of that in a rockstar game?

RDR1 handled movement controls the absolute best and very sad to not see that implemented into more games

For those who are unaware, holding x allowed you to jog at full speed, tapping it allowed you to sprint at full speed. The best part is you DID NOT need to use the joystick which made D-Pad input and sprinting effortless, and if you DID use the joystick, you could manipulate the speed of movement drastically.

Such a shame to see that go.

Terrible decision. Why the hell we be pushing a stick in instead of button.

Spamming the X button is outdated, but I hate pressing L3. I prefer the thing they've added to GTA Online where you can set it to just be holding X.

Hmm so theres no jogging, its just full sprint?

Dunno how to feel, I liked holding X to jog and tapping it for a sprint.

Crimson desert did this and I hated it (till they reverted it back because it was dumb)

Ive been use to tap sprinting for 20 years and it has bothered me exactly zero times

Hopefully classic controls is still available

The more I hear about the development of GTAVI, the less excited I get. I genuinely think the R* management have lost touch with their games.

Sprinting being tiring physically made sense. When your character got tired, you become glad you have no reason to spam anymore.

Games with just "press L3", your character gets tired and you're frustrated he's not running. These little things are what make GTA great & only work in GTA games.
