"This new sequel would feature the couple in a big way, but that trailer seems to suggest that Rockstar is aiming to make them a believable, relatable, and dare I say, cute couple."
"It's the kind of moment that most people in loving relationships have experienced...for comfort and love. It's a cute and genuine moment. And it's in the middle of a GTA trailer!"
"Think back to how CJ and Catalina are portrayed in GTA San Andreas. She's a lunatic and frequently called horrible names."
"Similarly, in GTA V Michael's relationship with his wife is shown to be a mostly toxic and hostile experience that only gets better at the end due to violence."
Grand Theft Auto 6's second trailer, released unexpectedly, showcases a significant shift in narrative focus. Alongside the expected action and chaos, it features a couple, Jason and Lucia, in a relatable and affectionate manner. This portrayal marks a departure from the traditional treatment of relationships in the series, where they were often depicted comically or negatively. A standout moment includes Lucia cuddling with Jason on the couch, highlighting a tender aspect rarely seen in prior GTA titles, suggesting Rockstar is evolving the storytelling in this iconic franchise.
