As anticipation builds for the release of GTA 6, fans have been speculating about the potential features that could be included in the game. One topic of discussion that has emerged recently is the possibility of customizable character height. However, despite advancements in technology and new hardware capabilities, it appears that this feature may not make it into the final game.
According to discussions on the GTA Forums, Insider “Tez2” provided insight into why height customization might not be included. Tez2 mentioned that adjustable height is a “developer’s nightmare” due to the complex dependencies it creates. The implementation would affect many aspects of the game, such as collisions, animations, clothing, equipment, weapons, and even tattoos and face makeup. Games that do offer height adjustments typically use presets, and even then, managing these presets, especially across both male and female characters, presents a significant challenge.
This perspective sheds light on why Rockstar Games might exclude height customization from GTA 6, much like they did with Red Dead Online. Despite fans’ desires for more personalized characters, the technical hurdles seem too high for Rockstar to prioritize this feature.
Weight and Age Customization Likely to Return
While full height customization seems unlikely, other forms of character customization might still be included in GTA 6. Tez2 noted that weight and age adjustments, which were present in Red Dead Online, could reasonably be expected in GTA 6 as well. These features are more cosmetic and less likely to interfere with the game’s mechanics, making them easier for developers to implement.
The ongoing conversation also brought up the idea of height presets, where players could choose from a few set options rather than having full control over their character’s height. This approach would simplify the development process while still offering some degree of customization.
Given Rockstar’s track record with intricate character details in previous titles like GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, it’s possible that they could introduce a limited form of height customization through presets. However, as Tez2 pointed out, fully scalable height customization might only be feasible in future titles, once Rockstar has developed the necessary technology to handle it.
