I dont necessarily expect the same level of interactivity with npcs in GTA which might affect whether or not I feel it's a better game. I expect it to be good either way but gta has never been the immersive experience that RDR2 was. It's also never had that great of interactivity with NPCs which has a huge effect. The thing is though, the whole "greet" and "antagonize" mechanic was developed by Rockstar BEFORE Gta 5, BEFORE Gta 4. You can first see it in Bully. 12 years before RDR2. The graphics are gonna be great, gameplay is gonna be great, missions will be fun, but Rockstar has never given me reason to believe that a GTA game will be the immersive experience that RDR2 was.
No way, this game is not like any previous GTA titles or any video game that is, the expectations are astronomical and part of that is from the immersion and quality of RDR2. At the bare minimum people want a full 1:1 translation of the aspects game but it’s a gta game instead of a red dead game.
The npc interaction will absolutely be expended upon because this game will be a leap from RDR2, I think npc interactions was also brought up in some leaks. You should fully expect gta6 to have the same greet antagonize system in the game and even more dialogue options/actions.
It's still not gonna be the immersive role play that Red Dead is. Wasn't the case between gta 4 and Red Dead 1 and wasn't the case between gta 5 and RDR2, hell wasn't the case between Bully and the GTAs at the time. It would have to take itself far too seriously for it to hit on the same notes that Red Dead does and if it takes itself seriously, it's not gta. It's an action comedy game made for the most casual of gamers. At it's core, gta can't be the immersive experience that Red Dead is. Look at Red Dead Online, Rockstar is probably going to shy away from making it a 1:1 translation of certain mechanics specifically because of RDO. They aren't going to experiment with their cash cow so much that little kids stop buying shark cards. Rockstar has pretty much always used their other games to experiment with mechanics and GTA might add a couple but it's pretty much always been the simplest of their games because it's made for a mass audience of casuals.

And its still higher quality than 95% of games that came out after it. In my opinion greatest game of all time.
