Is there any sign of gangs or rival crews as a system

Every previous game in this series has had named factions with territory, colours, and a relationship to the protagonist that changes.

What we have here: a biker gang mentioned in the Ambrosia description with no name, and a supporting cast who are individuals rather than organisations. Boobie has a business, not a crew. Raul recruits, he does not run a gang.

So either faction systems are being held back entirely, or this game is structured around people rather than organisations. The second would be a real departure.

The Ambrosia bikers are the only faction mentioned anywhere and they have no name, which either means they are being held or they are scenery.

Coming to this after the reveal, and forty minutes of footage with zero announced cast members in it supports the people rather than organisations reading completely.

A game structured around people rather than organisations would be a real departure and it would also explain why the story feels so sealed. You cannot preview a person without previewing the plot.

boobie has a business, dre quan has a label, raul recruits. thats three individuals with commercial interests. there is not a gang anywhere in the announced cast

no named gang in three years of marketing for a series built on gangs is genuinely strange when you say it out loud

People rather than organisations also fits Jason exactly. He does not belong to anything, he works around people who do.

there is no gang tag anywhere in the footage either. not one piece of territorial graffiti in a game with fifty commissioned murals

That last point is the best explanation anyone has given for why three years of marketing has told us nothing about the story.

This is a genuinely good observation and I had not put it together. Every named entity in the supporting cast is a person or a business, not an organisation.
