Vehicle damage only matters if it changes normal play, not just one scripted mission.
The part I would push on is player choice. If that does not change anything a player can feel, then the topic is probably just pre-launch noise. If it does, it can tell us something real about the direction of GTA VI.
The strongest GTA systems are the ones players notice by accident: an NPC reacting differently, a police chase taking a new turn, a damaged car changing the escape, or a small choice creating a story nobody planned.
Коротко по-русски: В геймплее важны системы, которые работают не только в миссиях. Если мир реагирует на действия игрока сам по себе, GTA VI будет ощущаться намного живее.
Curious where people land on this: What question about vehicle damage would you want Rockstar to answer first? What should a newcomer understand first? What world detail would prove this matters?
