FRENCHRAPUS claimed that Rockstar Games revealed new information about GTA 6. According to him, the map would be accessible from the beginning, without large areas to unlock during the story, and its size would exceed 100 km², equivalent to the maps of GTA IV, GTA V, and RDR2 combined. He also wrote that players could knock out enemies and NPCs instead of killing them, and that the day-night cycle would last longer than in previous games. The police could, according to him, rely on the physical description of the player, their clothing, weapons, vehicle, and surveillance cameras to track them down after a crime. FRENCHRAPUS added that players would need to rob grocery stores or steal cars to finance their next main mission. He also indicated that all vehicles would have fuel and an engine status indicator, and that Lucia and Jason could react with disgust in particularly smelly places. #GTA6 #RockstarGames #GamingNews (translated)

Press briefs reported that, in its latest editorial, Le Monde argued that the protests on Saturday, October 17 should not be reduced to looting and destruction. The newspaper claimed that the vast majority of the processions had been peaceful and made legitimate demands, with 800,000 participants according to the organizers and 550,000 according to the Interior Ministry. The editorial blamed Emmanuel Macron for a persistent deafness to social movements during his two terms. It reproached successive governments for sidelining unions since 2017, weakening their role as intermediaries, and ignoring the dissatisfaction of young people. Le Monde linked the movement of October 17 to the Yellow Vests, which emerged in December 2018 around purchasing power and the cost of living, and reminded that the 225,000 contributions from the grievance books had not led to a political translation. The newspaper estimated that the 2023 demonstrations against the pension reform, adopted by the Borne government without a parliamentary vote, had similarly been followed by a lack of political response. According to the editorial, this situation had fueled mistrust towards the head of state, and the executive could no longer dismiss the demands; social peace, it argued, depended on their consideration. #Macron #GiletsJaunes #France (translated)
