Game Informer says Leonida gets 'less sunny' weather. Summer storms or full hurricanes?
Update (Sept 29): it's confirmed. According to Game Informer's cover story, Leonida gets hurricanes and tropical storms, with weather that changes by area and more than 170 animal species (manatees, flamingos, pelicans, alligators…). Rockstar hasn't said how often they hit or whether they affect missions. Full rundown in our write-up.
The Game Informer cover announcement has me thinking. They say GTA VI has weather systems that simulate Florida's "less sunny weather phenomena", plus wildlife "native and otherwise" on land, in the air and at sea. The full story drops Tuesday the 29th (Game Informer's announcement, our write-up).
Anyone who's spent a summer in Florida knows the drill: sunny at 2, biblical rain at 4, flooded streets at 5, sunny again by 6. If Rockstar nails that, it changes how you play. Chases on soaked roads, Grassrivers flooding, or waiting out a storm before a job because there are fewer witnesses around.
(When I opened this thread, the word hurricane wasn't in the announcement. Now it is.)
Honestly I'd take surprise tropical storms and puddles that actually stick around. What about you? Full hurricane with evacuations, something subtler, or do you not want weather messing with you mid-mission? And "otherwise" wildlife: Everglades pythons or something weirder?
