Genuine question. I cannot think of a single one of their games with a difficulty selector. They tune one experience and ship it.
With a wanted system this involved and a robbery system with real failure states, I wonder whether that holds. Has anything been said, and does anyone actually want one?
With a wanted system this complex I would expect at least a police aggression setting, which is the kind of thing that arrives in a patch three months later after everyone complains.
I do not want one and I recognise that is a position that costs other people something. Accessibility options are a different conversation to difficulty selectors though.
That distinction is important and I should have made it in the post. Aim assist and control options are not the same question as an easy mode.
No difficulty option has ever shipped in a Rockstar game and nothing has been said about this one. They have consistently treated the tuned experience as the product.
That is the most realistic prediction in this thread and it is exactly what happened with the last two of their games.
