The argument over how far Grand Theft Auto VI has moved beyond its predecessor flared up right after the Extended Look — and it was joined by a man who, by all indications, isn't in the new game at all.

Rob Nelson, co-founder and head of Rockstar North, described in an interview one of the strangest interaction chains in the game. It goes like this: if someone on the street is walking their dog and the animal relieves itself, you wait for the owner to clean up after it with a doggy bag. Then you hit the person, they drop the bag, and you pick it up and hurl its contents at somebody else. The mechanic wasn't shown in any of the released footage — the developer confirmed it verbally. -
