Idk how many npc's did GTA 5 had (excluding characters from the main story and random encounters) but GTA 4 had around 250, I'm not counting the dlc's
I think it'll have around 450 npc's and lots of variations
Gta 4 has 250? And I see the same npc everytime in gta 5 the same even the same voices hope gta 6 has 1000 or plus because its a game that I will be playing for at least 10 years so…
That’s because you have a stalker.
You see, the NPCs often use the AI engine to collaborate and share their collective intelligence. Once in a while, like 25% of the time, you leave your webcam cover open and the NPC AI catches a glimpse of of you getting up from your chair in your drawers and it falls in “loco-love” with you. So the AI renders itself in a form it thinks you’re most unlikely to notice it stalking you as it collects all the data points about you as it can before it assumes the final boss form and presents itself to you as the true light.
Then you are really fucked.
Or some shit, I dunno.
I can slightly understand it from the RDR side as Rockstar basically abandoned RDR2 and RDR online, like a month after RDR2 was released despite it being very popular and beloved while GTA Online still receives support a full decade after GTA 5's release because Rockstar/Take Two can easily monetize it compared to RDR
The original Undead Nightmare is still one of my favorite DLCs of all time, and I'm personally really disappointed that Rockstar decided not to bother doing a sequel to it even though everyone would love a Undead Nightmare 2
Really?! I wouldn’t have guessed that for RDR2! But I imagine it’s possible. That would definitely up the game count for GTA6 then. Unless they are auto generated in a new type of format never seen before in gameplay (like mentioned in other comments).
Really?! I thought it was a standard amount since people claim to see the same NPCs repeated throughout short time spans of gameplay (in GTA4 & 5). But I haven’t played in awhile so I can’t speak from my own experience so much 
It means that instead of explicitly creating a model of a person, or a level, or a car, or whatever it is that is being generated, you give a range of parameters (a person can be between x and y height, a level can have between x and y buildings), and then that thing gets semi randomly created.
It's a way of adding more variety to games without spending the time detailing all that variety. There's pros and cons to it, but for something like NPCs it's pretty good
In the trailer the muscular guy jogging on the beach has the same face model, sunglasses, and hat as the overweight dude with a beard in the background of the mud pits later in the trailer. So I think your statement is accurate.
You gotta also take into account the difference between the density of population per designated space in RDR2 and GTA VI hypothetically. I haven't seen much of RDR2 but I'm expecting GTA VI to not only have more civilian density but to have more variety in groups. Just like you won't find Vinewood NPCs on Sandy Shores and vice-versa.
Always hungry and never satisfied… MORE. sadly, this is what happens when you drop a trailer predicting another 2 years to go… pure I N S A N I T Y.
5k peds atleast, the tech and engine they have now can support and they probably have a ped generator that changes the clothes, accessories, skin tone, voice, body shape, height etc and can basically endlessly create peds to fill the streets, while still making them unique and able to interact with
I wouldn't be surprised if they had built in a system where the game can set a bunch of random parameters for body sizes, hair, height, weight, clothes variations etc, and it just generates them at random as new npcs spawn
It's possible that they may have created various assets for npcs, and they have a program/system that randomly generates models.
So it could be endless.
wouldnt be impossible. the real issue there would being able to ensure that every single possible npc possibility would LOOK believable. i think to mitigate that theyll have preset npc's made using a dynamically generating system instead of having the dynamically generating system running mid game.
sorta how dungeons were made in Elder scrolls daggerfall.
Okay so let’s put this into perspective: RDR2 had 300,000 animations and 500,000 lines of dialogue. Since that was the last big Rockstar game, I’m gonna say GTA VI is bound to have more than that. I’ll guess 500-600,000 animations and maybe 600-700,000 lines of dialogue if not more. You gotta think, GTA VI is probably gonna have a crazy amount of random pedestrians you’ll be able to interact with set aside the main story. So to answer the question about how many NPC’s I think will be in the game, I’ll say somewhere between 4,000-5,000 different NPC’s. You also have to factor in the different parts of the map that we haven’t even fully seen yet. We saw only a glimpse of what Rockstar has worked on, I can’t imagine what the final build is going to be like. But yeah regardless of what we all say or think, these NPC’s seem like they’re gonna blow us away. The fact that each person seems different, has different builds, different skin tones, different tattoos, just about everything concerning the NPC’s from the trailer makes it seem like we’re gonna be interacting with almost real-life like people. I can’t wait until I wreak havoc and see how the in game response will be….. imagine how real stuff is gonna be if you decide to go into a night club with a firearm or in game malls or whatever, that stuff might be controversial af but Rockstar is use to that, at this point.
The one thing I can always count on from Rockstar is, they are always hard at work when it comes to their games. They put in insurmountable hours into each project and each project gets better than the last. We’re all EXPECTING this game to carry us for the next 10+ years when it releases, so in order for that to happen? They’ll have to really make Leonida a place we can gravitate towards and have tons of fun playing in. RDR2 still has new things being found out to this day so I imagine GTA is going to be along those same lines, if not greater
I find it likely there might be an algorithm that will generate natural-looking models. Would save Rockstar from working on each model manually, but wouldn't decrease the game's quality
Enough to not be repetitive in an average gaming session, maybe 500-600 NPC models at most. Now with modern technologies and basically unlimited hardware capabilities, there's no bottleneck for much more diversity, so I wouldn't be surprised if we're gonna get new implementations like randomly AI generated NPCs.
I’m hoping one day we’ll get to a point where we have procedurally generated NPCs. Like where they spawn in and randomly pick from a selection of hair color, eye color, hairstyle, shirt, pants, gender - etc.
There will probably be some RNG system, maybe about 500 different shirts, with a random style/color being chosen for each NPC. This could also apply to pants, shoes, faces, hair, skin tone etc.
GTA 6 won't look like that, you can go back and watch GTA 5's trailer and see that a lot of elements, especially NPC density were downgraded by release. In some cases entire buildings ended up looking worse. Though truth be told some other areas did look better in the final release, however watching GTA 5's trailer, everything felt more vibrant, dynamic, and everything in the PC version, which was the best one, looks so much more static, lifeless and low-density. [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrGZ8v9Dg5k) is a remake of the trailer using the PC version.
GTA 6 trailer is a good show and I'm sure the game will look great, but it won't be like the trailer. Animations will be simpler, crowd density will be lower, the scene on the beach, having AI that interact and sync so well with each other won't be a thing even in GTA 7
Maybe they made a couple of the same models and program AI to change some parts of the body (like hair, skin color, clothes) (Good thing its not like in GTA SA where you see the same NPC for every 5 seconds). If my theory is wrong, then maybe they did the same thing they did with GTA 4 and 5
Myth or not, Red Dead Redemption 2 has more than two thousand models, I think there will be even more of them in GTA 6. So I'll stay at number, more than two thousand.
I wonder if GTA 6 will keep the Director Mode function from 5, where you could hypothetically play as any NPC and just do whatever you want, it was basically a sandbox version of the game with no consequences.
The trailer is gonna be a huge exaggeration. Just like cyberpunk when they were showing hundreds of people with real routines etc. It'll be similar to gta v as far as population.
Idk how many npc's did GTA 5 had (excluding characters from the main story and random encounters) but GTA 4 had around 250, I'm not counting the dlc's I think it'll have around 450 npc's and lots of variations

No
Yes
GTA 7 confirmed release 2040
That's not what he said
Rdr2 has like 2000 NPCs gta 6 will definitely have way more
To be fair I think you’re much more aware of npcs in red compared to gta, my guess though is that they’ll be procedurally generated
Would they be AI generated?
2000 different looking?
2000 same looking
Never understood the GTA/RDR beef sentiment
I can slightly understand it from the RDR side as Rockstar basically abandoned RDR2 and RDR online, like a month after RDR2 was released despite it being very popular and beloved while GTA Online still receives support a full decade after GTA 5's release because Rockstar/Take Two can easily monetize it compared to RDR The original Undead Nightmare is still one of my favorite DLCs of all time, and I'm personally really disappointed that Rockstar decided not to bother doing a sequel to it even though everyone would love a Undead Nightmare 2
Really?! I wouldn’t have guessed that for RDR2! But I imagine it’s possible. That would definitely up the game count for GTA6 then. Unless they are auto generated in a new type of format never seen before in gameplay (like mentioned in other comments).
At least ten years? Gotdamn
At least 8
Nah that’s pushing it abit
Any more than that and the consoles would have exploded on launch
I recon 5 max
So 16 bits?
But how's my ps2 gonna run that
I would say «add an extra memorycard but that was on ps1». You should be fine with PS2 as long as you don’t run splitscreen multiplayer. /s
The /s was kinda unnecessary
You can add memory cards to a ps2
Well the PS2 can play PS1 games and GTA 6 is gonna be a PS1 game so you’ll be fine.
r/technicallythetruth
I would honestly bet they’re being procedurally generated this time around
They were already procedurally generated in GTA5 right. I think 4 too but to a lesser degree.
Right you create a model then make several variations so they can have different looks
That’s the type of work you get done using the Houdini software.
Vice City Stories was the pioneer, although it was just the color that changed
Gotta walk before you run
Jarvis… sometimes you gotta run before you can walk.
Really?! I thought it was a standard amount since people claim to see the same NPCs repeated throughout short time spans of gameplay (in GTA4 & 5). But I haven’t played in awhile so I can’t speak from my own experience so much 
Idk about that, drive down the boardwalk at full-speed and you’ll run into the same 8 NPCs over and over
I was gonna say, they've been doing that kind of thing since Left 4 Dead.
I bet this time though like entirely it’ll be AI faces and stuff like that
“procedurally generated”?
What do you think that means man
…there’s a reason i asked
It means that instead of explicitly creating a model of a person, or a level, or a car, or whatever it is that is being generated, you give a range of parameters (a person can be between x and y height, a level can have between x and y buildings), and then that thing gets semi randomly created. It's a way of adding more variety to games without spending the time detailing all that variety. There's pros and cons to it, but for something like NPCs it's pretty good
Random generated basically. x head shape, y eye colour, z skin colour
In the trailer the muscular guy jogging on the beach has the same face model, sunglasses, and hat as the overweight dude with a beard in the background of the mud pits later in the trailer. So I think your statement is accurate.
It’s almost def some sort of chameleon system too where it picks and chooses various parts
Definitely more than 1
Yeah....how wise you are!😇
I am a dev for rockstar and can confirm between 8-12 are being tested
My dad invented Rockstar and he said it was a gajillion
Woah do you have gta 7? I wanna play it on my android 7 phone
Brother, I have GTA 8. It plays on my Air Fryer.
Woahhhhhhhhhhh? Do you gta 69 then? I wanna play it on my led tubelight
Not yet. In development still. It’ll be out later this week.
Nooooooooo I thought we would gta 69 and 70 in 2024's first day f r*
The gta v source code leaks pushed it back a couple days. Sorry. I don’t make the rules. My dad invented Rockstar, not me.
Tell your dad I will leak his pics and kidnap you if he doesn't release gta 69,70,71 by tomorrow
He went out for milk, he should be back soon…
It seems the standard is to only test about 5% of the games coming out now. So 160-240?
rdr2 had more than a thousand and they all were different,i hope at least 2000
and im fairly sure almost every single one had diffeent voicelines. If i remember correctly, about 70 000 voice files exist for the NPCs alone
You gotta also take into account the difference between the density of population per designated space in RDR2 and GTA VI hypothetically. I haven't seen much of RDR2 but I'm expecting GTA VI to not only have more civilian density but to have more variety in groups. Just like you won't find Vinewood NPCs on Sandy Shores and vice-versa.
My wife works at R* and she said they are testing 2 and a half right now!
Gta 6 is gonna have ^Little ^People in it?
Little people hookers are coming and they’ll need assistance getting into your car.
This is where the fun begins
PLEASE GIVE ME DWARFS. Not in a mean way but running around kicking them would make me so happy.
Yeah, dwarfs and all!
Like more that 4. I can only count to 4
One what comes after one?9
2 they just changed the hair, clothes and face
They’ll have different body types too
At least another six months of posts like this before the next trailer drops...mfs are starved
Always hungry and never satisfied… MORE. sadly, this is what happens when you drop a trailer predicting another 2 years to go… pure I N S A N I T Y. 
RNG so infinite
I guess at least three
69,420,999
7564676355678645
As a dev. 4, with model expansion assets.
7. Maybe 7.2
I hope Rockstar did the same as Ubisoft with Watch Dogs, I've never seen a repeated NPC in that game...
Bro, at this point, it seems like the game generates new NPCs each time or summ😭
42
In GTA 5 was there variable NPC height? If not I hope in GTA 6 
We know there will definitely be different body types so I’d say that’s one of the first things they’d add
Double of whatever was in Rdr2. The ratios are mostly like that about anything.
5k peds atleast, the tech and engine they have now can support and they probably have a ped generator that changes the clothes, accessories, skin tone, voice, body shape, height etc and can basically endlessly create peds to fill the streets, while still making them unique and able to interact with
We'll know once the data miners get their hands on it.
At least 4 or 5
200+ with procedural variation
At least 3
Atleast 5
Id assume more than 3
10, *maybe* 11.
I wouldn't be surprised if they had built in a system where the game can set a bunch of random parameters for body sizes, hair, height, weight, clothes variations etc, and it just generates them at random as new npcs spawn
Like 15-20
It's possible that they may have created various assets for npcs, and they have a program/system that randomly generates models. So it could be endless.
I think as an extra r*should also use delvs voices and faces..I mean it would save them money too? Just use some of your employees...😂
Maybe like around 1k or 2k+ base models and they all have randomized clothing/clothing colors.
Maybe all npc in game was dynamic generated AI.
wouldnt be impossible. the real issue there would being able to ensure that every single possible npc possibility would LOOK believable. i think to mitigate that theyll have preset npc's made using a dynamically generating system instead of having the dynamically generating system running mid game. sorta how dungeons were made in Elder scrolls daggerfall.
I say 500

Meta human and some unfortunate junior artists moving the sliders about
They're probably proc gen'd from a poolof assets.
I find it likely there might be an algorithm that will generate natural-looking models. Would save Rockstar from working on each model manually, but wouldn't decrease the game's quality
at least 1
11

Somewhere between 4-9
O hope the game is this lively
hundreds.. obviously. dare i say even thousands
Probably some base variations and the rest generated
I’m sure they’ll use some sort of “randomized character generator” of sorts
I assumed they would be “randomly” generated at this point
I’m hoping one day we’ll get to a point where we have procedurally generated NPCs. Like where they spawn in and randomly pick from a selection of hair color, eye color, hairstyle, shirt, pants, gender - etc.
A lot.
What do you mean by this ? Do you mean how many NPCs the GTA world has or how many different NPC this world will have
It'll have taken 12 years by it's time of release. Thanks to AI, I would bet at least 1000. Seriously, I'll put money on it
569,980 people
Would be dope if they had like 100 attributes per category and let AI generate them
There will probably be some RNG system, maybe about 500 different shirts, with a random style/color being chosen for each NPC. This could also apply to pants, shoes, faces, hair, skin tone etc.
Damn, what a badass job that would be, literally just designing pedestrians for GTA. To answer your question, though, idk, like 5?
What a stupid question to ask when there is no official answer to this question
GTA 5 was on PS3, I'm not sure if the PS4 or PS5 versions added anything extra. I think there'll be a good few thousand.
At least 2
Idk bro I hope not that many that I’d have to download more ram for my Nintendo Switch
Few thousand likely
2
That girl in the teal bikini is definite booty call material as soon as they let me loose there.
One. With interchangeable parts or slider settings.
645. Let me know what I win
A quick search says RDR2 has over 1000, so logic says GTA 6 will have over 2000.
GTA 6 won't look like that, you can go back and watch GTA 5's trailer and see that a lot of elements, especially NPC density were downgraded by release.

AI is getting pretty good. I think we could expect to see NPCs all looking different
7 or 9 Male: jacked, standard, fat. Female: jacked, standard, fat, big ass. Maybe: Kid: Male and female.
Ai
At least two.
al least 4
More than Red Dead 2 prolly
69
They are probably still making them
I wonder how many voicelines they'll have
about tree fiddy.
Maybe they made a couple of the same models and program AI to change some parts of the body (like hair, skin color, clothes) (Good thing its not like in GTA SA where you see the same NPC for every 5 seconds). If my theory is wrong, then maybe they did the same thing they did with GTA 4 and 5
At least 3.50.
May be a 200
I’d say close to a million
More then 4 that for sure
12
At least two
Myth or not, Red Dead Redemption 2 has more than two thousand models, I think there will be even more of them in GTA 6. So I'll stay at number, more than two thousand.
Yes
7 MAYBE 7.2
Yes
Considering how many different NPCs with unique personalities are in RDR2 I’m gonna say a lot
69,420. Just because.
I cannot wait to run over s\_m\_m\_beachbum\_7192, my favorite ped model fr.
Imaging director mode gta6
At least 20
Don’t some games have randomly or procedurally generated models?
Idk maybe Thousands of NPC?
It could be amazing if one IA generate such as “random seeds” complete models based on the location where you at that moment.
No one, because they will be completely generated
4
My guess, without reading any other comments or knowing anything about what Im talking about at all, is 3,000
Goddamn 47
7
Only one, they it's played by Eddie Murphy
Dont know, but i’m going to run them over anyways
I think they have a program that mixes and matches things based on the sex of a character
And the question is, where did they stick all the Hispanic ones (70% of Miami)?.
I wonder if GTA 6 will keep the Director Mode function from 5, where you could hypothetically play as any NPC and just do whatever you want, it was basically a sandbox version of the game with no consequences.
17 minimum
more than 2
More than GTA5
12
I think there's a grouping of different body types and an integrated AI program puts together different combos and outfits
At least 2
Totally more than 11 npcs
101010119299993020228282929202029299.0
The trailer is gonna be a huge exaggeration. Just like cyberpunk when they were showing hundreds of people with real routines etc. It'll be similar to gta v as far as population.
I'd say a good 7. 
At least 1
isn't it way better to make an in house character creator tool just like skyrim or Elden ring and then make a shit load of models and export them??
