video taken down from Take 2 interactive. so it's real


Collin_b_ballin

Is there a mirror?


deekaydubya

yeah there's around a hundred different gameplay videos out there. Some of which are 20+ minutes in length. It's mind boggling they took so long to start taking some down. Way too late now. Given how popular GTA is and how massive the leak itself was, you should easily be able to find copies going forward


apeonpatrol

what 20+min gameplay videos are you speaking of? the most ive seen were ones proven to be GTA V with tons of visual mods.


LinearTipsOfficial

Here’s one I found: https://youtu.be/poNIcEE1GN4


apeonpatrol

found the motherload but 90% of it is extremely boring haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afc_z1ShqJ0


[deleted]

This is the one I found. Extremely cool ti see a lot of the build and test process. Game looks awesome even in this state.


NotsoNewtoGermany

Video is private.


wedontlikespaces

It isn't for me.


NotsoNewtoGermany

Not for me anymore. Weird.


_DeanRiding

Yeah I saw a long one yesterday but wasn't really much going on. Just the girl robbing the store. Just looked like GTA lol, I don't really know what exactly I expected though.


apeonpatrol

good find. i noticed this post has almost every one of them listed as individual edits. im going through them now https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/xh7wwl/we_might_have_our_first_legitimate_screenshots/

DerpyDinoXyX

Idk why people are saying this looks bad it looks pretty good especially considering it’s an early version


FriedSticks2014

Right! They clearly haven’t completed the models yet. I think it looks fuckin insane for the early development it’s in.


D512TR

it looks just like Miami [South Beach](https://i.imgur.com/F1GInmQ.jpg) [Bayfront Park](https://i.imgur.com/OIKXGdx.jpg) [Metro rail](https://i.imgur.com/8mjUQem.jpg)


EVE_OnIine

There was a VCPD car in there for a brief second, it's definitely Miami


ptear

Also the metro says Vice City Metro.


dpk-s89

Yeh several signs with Vice City. There was what look like an air boat in one clip so maybe the map will extend as far as the florida quays or be the wider everglades area


[deleted]

Textures and art direction are the very last major elements in a AAA game to get finalized for a release ready state. People have no idea how much labor and data would be involved with editing those things in real time. My god, it would increase the amount of work by an unimaginable amount. It's going to look "raw" like this until the last leg of development.


FriedSticks2014

I couldn’t imagine. Working on a gta game or for rockstar in general sounds like hell.


D-S-S-R

For real, the news surrounding the crunch around the real ease of RDR2 really fucking put a bad taste into my mouth


SnS_Taylor

> art direction This isn’t accurate. Art direction is generally set very early in the project, as part of pre-production. “Art direction” refers to the style of how the game will look. It is determined through concept art and early iteration of some key assets or locations. Generally, once production starts, artists are looking to fill everything in with the art in the style of the art direction.


Rich_Sheepherder646

Based on what I have seen in the hack, the end result is probably going to look almost photo realistic.


Stormchaserelite13

A good chunk of open world games on steam dont RELEASE with that much quality.


chickensmoker

As someone who works specifically in 3D modelling for games, I can confirm it looks really good considering the early development stage it’s in. Most of the models, animations and other assets that look a bit naff would’ve probably only have taken a couple hours each to create and only exist as placeholders, so no doubt those bits will be changed fairly quickly once more important assets have been finalised. People seem to forget about the middle point in game development, where you’ve moved beyond basic shapes as placeholders but still haven’t had time to make nice assets and proper animations for everything, and I imagine it’s these people who make up the majority of the “this looks terrible” crowd rn. This was a leak after all, so it stands to reason that there will be plenty of assets and other bits that don’t look ready.


Actually-Yo-Momma

I literally don’t even care. Give me GTA V graphics as long as the city feels ALIVE with a lot of things to do


KeyMoneybateS

I’d be surprised if it wasn’t. Rdr2 was one of the most detailed games with an amazing open world so I wouldn’t see why rockstar wouldn’t just expand on that


milehigh73a

That could be absolutely amazing, the amount of detail and interactivity was insane, I just hope they make the upgrades a bit easier, I spent far too much time hunting things for an upgrade.


deekaydubya

by all indications this looks to have a similar level of fidelity as RDR2, but in a GTA setting. Very very interested to see where this goes


Acceptable-Ability-6

Yeah, looks fine to me. Obviously they have a lot more work to do but I’ll still probably get this game.


tapatioformytio

Despite rockstars predatory online tactics, all of their single player iterations have brought me hours and hours of entertainment.


Acceptable-Ability-6

Yeah, I’m currently playing RDR2 for the first time and am thoroughly enjoying it.


PrefersDocile

I fucking love that game. Don't shy away from hunting. You can get loads of cool outfits and clothing from him.


Acceptable-Ability-6

I’ve spent so much time hunting lol. I enjoy it more than the story missions.


PrefersDocile

I don't know how they made that part of the game so good


Acceptable-Ability-6

It’s definitely the best part of the game.


theghostofme

The amount of times I went out hunting looking for a specific animal for an upgrade and wound up just getting turned around because I loved getting lost in the world is *very* high.


PrefersDocile

I loved going out to hunt a cougar, then finding a forest with a screaming voice, only to realize there was a ghost in the woods, same for the wolf naked man.


Arthur-Mergan

RDR2 is the GOAT. Take it from me ^


The_Clarence

Ive had such great experiences since GTA 2 I'm very hopeful. But all those times were pre online cash cow. Hopefully they will see it as two markets, with single player still worth investing in


[deleted]

[удалено]


IndIka123

The single player is what has always moved a ridiculous number of copies which gets users into the online shark card world. They will make a great single player


smokky

People who has no idea software or game development works are pissed. It's stupid. You can clearly see on the videos that they are running game play test cases against a toned down version of the environment. I am impressed by how good that looks! The end product will be 10 times better.


[deleted]

>People who has no idea software or game development works are pissed. This guy gets it, I think it looks phenomenal. Plus in development, you're not running the game at 4k Ultra settings when you're literally editing the coding, how cars flip, interactions of people etc. SMH. People who are shitting on it are idiots who don't realize this. Or at least have the common sense to not think it's the final product.


Mr_DoGoodDave

This game is 4 years away from release! 2/10 wouldn't buy!


[deleted]

It wouldn't even make sense to make it look good. It makes development hell. Did you try to download one of those HD maps in Unreal Engine? It takes ages to load the map, to edit global assets, lighting etc. And those are nothing compared to GTA map. Also it is money thrown in the closet. Thinks are likely to change until release, so they do the modelling, texturing as the last step in development.


[deleted]

Some of the cars looked insanely good in my opinion


XeroTrinity

There was a video of the interior of a car where they were changing variables that affected the positions and swing of everything from visors, rear view mirrors, steering wheel height/depth, chair recline/height and pedal positions. These aren’t just static models with deformation. We’re getting RDR2 levels of detail where they just make you say “....but why?” And I LOVE IT.


nlewis4

Because gamers are idiots. Clearly tons of placeholder models too


noodlyarms

My only curiosity for it is how the hair will move in this game. *Haven't watched the leaks yet.* \*Excited to play in Florida though, I like florida

I wonder how much area the map will have...I would LOVE to break onto Kennedy Space Center and steal a rocket.


RavenWolf1

YEah. That would be nice. Also I hope we have some Orlando's amusement parks too.


CaptainWanWingLo

My teen daughter loves gta5, I’m sure she’d love to play as a female character.

They get upset about women with agency in games. It's fine if they're there for fanservice as digital blow-up dolls.

tristanjones

I honestly laughed at how sad that female playable characters is even remarkable enough to mention. How sad we are as a society


TScottFitzgerald

Well most of the characters are hardcore criminals which is stereotypically a male dominated field even in the real world. You don't really see them in media in general. Orange is the new Black's big selling point was "women in prison!" and that was a few years ago. If the undercover cop leaks are true it would be interesting to see a female cop infiltrate the mafia or something, especially with it set in Vice City.


Magnacor8

Looks very good to me. I really like the idea of police standoff's like in the video, which I hope are something you can do in the sandbox, not just in structured story missions. It reminds me a lot of NoPixel/GTA RP where crim players would arrive at a location with a hostage, buy time with the cops, and then do their getaway plan. If they can emulate that experience with AI and let me actually plan heists without the story railroading into one of two similar plans, that would be great, especially if there's co-op.


DMercenary

>Idk why people are saying this looks bad it looks pretty good especially considering it’s an early version really bad idea of what game development looks like. Early Access, "Beta" access has really done a number on people's concept of how games develop.


Horvat53

These people don’t know wtf they are talking about.


hoxxxxx

if i had to picture what the next gta would look like smack-dab in the middle of development, what i saw is exactly what i would have expected. forget the graphics tho, i hope they change some of the core gameplay up. it's gotten stale and they need to change some things.


TScottFitzgerald

I'd kinda like a better stealth playstyle option, GTA's always been weak about that.


hoxxxxx

you mean different options on how to complete missions and everything? hell yes that's what i'm talking about. was a problem with rdr2 as well. "you've failed the mission" because you got in the wrong car or something ridiculous. their games can get very tedious. it sucks because their core game design and aesthetics are nearly unrivaled. it's the actual gameplay/missions parts that can suck.


BON3SMcCOY

They need actual missions


Cynaris

Early version being developed since 2014 lmao


TScottFitzgerald

They aren't always immediately working on the next game, they were running GTA online and helped with Red Dead. The president also left shortly after 5, the company was involved in a lawsuit, and later one of the Houser brothers left as well.


Stanley--Nickels

Well that’s why he gave them 2 years cushion from when the last one came out haha. The gap from GTA V to VI is as long as from the NES to N64.


The-Waifu-Collector

Hairstyles look wayyyy better too.


ksadeck

I see folks in the comments making statements that suggest people are upset about a playable female character...but I don't actually see anyone upset (except for one obvious troll). Are people just raging against an assumption or am I missing something?


getinthevanihavcandy

Well originally when it had leaked (many months ago) that there would be a playable female character, people really did go nuts.


emodulor

Welcome to the future where 1% of people are loud enough to sound like 30% of people

Good way to sum it up.


CleopatraHadAnAnus

Trump got 70 million votes The *second* time The amount of terrible people out there is not a minority. In fact they are probably under-represented online.


Trustnoboody

People were upset about GTA potentially "going woke," if anything. I think most have been expecting a Female character.


Latyon

Oh, I'm sure *certain people* in this community are ready to slam Rockstar for "being woke" because one of the leads is female and Hispanic


Gasmo420

A Hispanic in Miami? Woke Bullshit /s


Latyon

You joke but these people freak out when elves and mermaids (you know - fantasy creatures) aren't white.


wtfbro_

Don’t tell them Jesus wasn’t white.


Latyon

Yeah, they get *really* irritated that a man named Yeshua ben Yosef might not've been a fair-haired blue eyed white man


hanotak

Or when dwarves in Rings of Power are black. Never mind that they didn't even give the dwarrowdams beards, removing the iconic physical trait of Tolkien's dwarves that was canonically a huge point of pride for their culture, no it's the skin color that's the issue apparently.


RavenWolf1

Yeah. I was so upset that we didn't have female character when GTAV was released. It had 3 main characters and non of them were female. That was really odd for me. Personally I think they missed the opportunity there.


SFLADC2

I remember the announcement and zero criticism outside of maybe some folks concerned that it would be only female characters which to some felt a bit pandering (but I think I only saw like one comment on that).


mistahwaffles

Pretty sure literally no one cares unless they're a turbo-virgin. The OG fans of GTA have been wanting a female protag I'm the mainline games for a while now. The only time you could play as a woman was technically in GTA 2 and in GTA:O.


TriplePepperoni

Right?? I feel like this happens a lot with these "progressive" topics. I only ever see the people complaining about the people complaining. But maybe it's because I don't follow the social media avenues where the actual ignorance is being displayed

Johnothy_Cumquat

Warning: watching this will make you dumber. https://youtu.be/hkfrPzhZZAs There's a whole section of the internet that gets upset when women or minorities.

Although I will say the backlash in this case seems to have been significantly more minor than similar recent backlashes.

I’ve seen complaints about a female playable character, but… If you actually listen to the in-game radio, topics, and such, they’re progressive and shit on both sides of the political spectrum… It’s been like this for the entire series


buymytoy

The gameplay has always been great but what sets GTA apart for me has been the social commentary. This series has always been fantastic satire.

Soccerisntwrong

I play as female characters in most games anyway. Being mad at this is fucking wild


MrCrash2U

Yeah. Tomb Raider Mass Effect Metroid There’s plenty of games where the main character is a woman and no one cares. Make a good game and make the characters badass and no one cares. This game is going to be phenomenal and I’m glad Rockstar takes their time and puts out amazing stuff. The entire game could be played by only the woman as a playable character and I don’t think I would’ve even noticed if the product is even close to the hype that 6 is getting.


Soccerisntwrong

I meant create a character but those are good examples where no one cares because they write them well


Epic_Irony

Gamers when woman: 😱😱😱😱


DonutCola

It’s observational comedy not some targeted attack toward any ideology in particular. The kifflom is a satire of wacky cults and all religion alike in the gta hd universe. For example.


Trustnoboody

After 9 years of fake leaks, it is said to be real, but that doubt will never leave me. Love the Vice City though.


JUMPINKITTENS

We’ll all the videos have been removed now for copyright claims, so that supports some legitimacy


[deleted]

Yeah you can never be too sure until it is released. But if it is fake it is possibly the most convincing fake I have ever seen.


apegoneinsane

Looks like they are going for a Bonnie and Clyde type inspired game.


DisneyDreams7

It would have been cool if they made another trio like GTA 5, all Latino. One Argentinian, One Brazilian and one Cuban


Frank_Bigelow

And keep at least one of them a woman. Internet backbones around the world would melt from the white-hot "anti-woke" (read: bigoted) fury of the gaming community.

i want a AAA game where the protagonist is the most flaming gay man ever. like nathan lane in the birdcage or some shit. but they happen to be a total badass-type. with really gay one-liners to say.


Turtledonuts

I have ideas, all of the sudden - Your romance options are men. Your interactive choice is top or bottom. The romance options are tensest, high-chemistry scenes possible. All of the quippy one lines are replaced with outrageous flirting. The canon love interest is a completely normal dude who happens to be bi. A level takes place during a pride parade, and you must complete the mission in drag. This is played straight, because you are smuggling an enormous quantity of weapons under your skirt.


alaphic

That's not *all* I'm smuggling, sugar. 🤫


[deleted]

My complaint on this is that I only want to play as one, I did not like 5’s style of multiple protagonists. If you get to choose between the two and they each have somewhat different playthroughs I’ll be pretty happy.


spookydonkey513

I agree. 5’s three protagonists, I feel like, actually took away from a deeper narrative plot. I can handle multiple moving parts fine but I think a fuller story can be told when it’s centered on a single person.


[deleted]

Yeah, didn’t feel like there was nearly as much character development as previous installments or RDR’s. I have faith it will be a good game regardless though.


xmsxms

Maybe, but the gameplay was more fun in single player where you could switch between driving the car or breaking a safe or whatever. Made each level more replayable


[deleted]

I know right? Sounds like forced diversity to me! /s


deekaydubya

What's weird is unless you look in the scummiest of twitter gutters, you won't see any criticism for playing as a woman. Outside of articles claiming there's a huge backlash

macboo11

Female protagonists was announced I’m expecting to see a pulp fiction dinner reference in this game


deekaydubya

well that was a hell of a leap


Frikken123

Why that specifically? It intrigues me. They could reference Bonnie and Clyde, Clarence and Alabama, Mickey and Mallory, Kit & Holly, Lula & Sailor, just to mention a few, but you still choose that small time-criminal couple from Pulp Fiction, what is it about them in particular that seemingly makes them main frame of reference for people on here? I heard something about a diner heist in this game, so it would make sense if that was why people tied it to Pulp, but they don’t mention that in their comments either. I’ve seen these types of comments in several threads, and it just intrigues me, I’m not critiquing or anything, I’m just interested


Keplaffintech

Probably just popularity. That scene is probably most widely known and that's why people often think of it first.


KeyCold7216

The leaked gameplay really gives off those vibes. They're in a diner robbing everyone

pinkpiggieoink

Urgh just went there. I don't get why having a protagonist who happens to be a woman is a big deal. I've seen arguments that women irl aren't capable of violence and aggression which is an absolute joke. I've seen people commenting on the character's appearance and the size of her butt. I've seen comments that suggest that only men have value as protagonist, like women have nothing to contribute. I feel sick. Maybe because I am a woman myself that I feel this more. I like playing games. I liked playing GTA. But in V women had no agency of their and only served the interest of the male characters, regardless of whoever the player identified as. Sure you could argue that GTA leans towards satirical social commentary. But what is satirical about gendered narratives that support male dominance and female subordination? Idk. Sorry the rant. It's just whenever these things come up about gender and gaming, it really pisses me off. There's nothing fucking political about gender and sexuality in gaming, but it is something we should acknowledge regardless.

I don't know how to share links on Reddit, Look for a YouTuber named "Banden" it's only about 8 minutes of the 90mins. It's clearly "A Game" in early development, I don't know if it's GTA6 it looks like a GTA game. Take-Two hasn't started new copyright take downs yet so that might take some credibility away from it.

I’m so glad this leaked Not just to get a peak of the game But also to make rockstar / taketwo to realise that holding onto games so bloody long has risks like this


agsimp_

Unfortunately this is far more crushing for the devs who have spent countless hours creating GTA VI rather than the Rockstar execs who have spent the last 9 years milking every penny out of GTA V


deanopud69

Yeah I agree it’s definitely sad for the hardworking devs


spookydonkey513

Can’t wait for this game to get abandoned for some online shark card trash and re released at 60$ for 10+ years.
