CITY INTEL
03 / VERIFIED VISUAL LAYERSwinging and free 3C movement turn rooftops into a second street grid. Route planning must include height, anchors and landing safety.
What is the mission’s success condition before choosing a route?
Anchor access and landing safety.
Keep a second route layer available before committing.
Official briefings and the TGS demonstration describe small social verbs, spontaneous incidents and profession-specific actions. Together they form the day-to-day layer beneath the main story.
Pet cats and trigger small everyday events while moving through public spaces.
OFFICIAL BRIEFINGGang clashes and spontaneous trouble turn ordinary routes into response decisions.
OFFICIAL BRIEFINGOfficial material explicitly mentions snooping on passersby phones as part of city interaction.
OFFICIAL BRIEFINGAttention, posts and internet popularity are framed as mission progress—not a decorative feed.
OFFICIAL BRIEFINGTGS hands-on footage showed database scans, weapon frisks, citations and handcuff interactions.
TGS PLAYTEST OBSERVATIONDevelopers say switched-out characters continue their own routines, letting you resume where their life moved next.
OFFICIAL BRIEFINGDirect answers, with the evidence level stated rather than implied.
Swinging and free 3C movement turn rooftops into a second street grid rather than a shortcut layer. Planning a rooftop line means accounting for three things street routes never ask about: anchor availability, height gain and landing safety.
No. A rooftop line only wins when anchors exist along the whole path and the landing puts you where the objective actually is — a fast approach that ends on the wrong side of a building loses to a slower street route.
Not published. Landing safety is treated as a real planning variable in official traversal material, but no damage rule or height threshold has been stated — so plan around landings without assuming a specific penalty.
