GTA 6 leaked footage

I had hoped they'd set the game or at least part of it in a historic time period, looks like it could be very similar to GTAV in a different location with new characters.

Looks like legit footage all the same although from what is on display there's not a whole lot of anything original going on. I've long since uninstalled GTAV and would be hard pressed to get to hyped for more of the same in a new map.

Hope I'm proved wrong and they go on to make a sensational game.

Looks like more of the same alright. We'll all buy it but I suspect that if it's just largely a reskinned GTA 5 after 10 years then it will be the start of Rockstar's decline.

I don't think anyone would begrudge a game still in development its lack of polish.

It's more the gameplay itself looking like more of the same.

After so many important people leaving that company and after the dogs dinner they made of the GTA definitive edition as well as abandoning RD online in favor of milking the GTA Online cash cow to death its hard to see something epoch defining like we've grown to expect from Rockstar.

They seem like a company that was once a creative force that now has the accountants in full control.

Both videos in OP gone now.

You could rob businesses in Vice City.

Early days but looks like it'll be a reskin of GTA5, why change it too much when it made so much money across 3 console generations?

The leak has at least confirmed the female protagonist (seems to be a male playable character as well) and that it's set in less colourful Vice City.

I say there probably will be PS5 bundles with the game included as Sony and Rockstar have a close relationship when it comes to GTA.

Graphics shouldn't be judged from the leaked footage and are probably the least important element for me anyway.

There were definitely diminishing returns in terms of visual fidelity in San Andreas but that was the trade off for all the expanded gameplay elements we got. That plus the nailed the setting most notably the era.

I think that's the most disappointing thing for me, another game set in the modern era seems a bit dull after so much of the possibilities of the modern era were addressed in V.

With the length of the development of 6 I was kind of hoping for something amazing, possibly a huge narrative potentially set across different time periods but it looks like GTAV in modern Florida.

Some rumors online pointed towards internal problems leading to the project being scrapped and started again from scratch post the release of RDR2 which is worrying as well.

I love Gta so I'm hoping I'm wrong but I'm not hugely optimistic about this game right now.

That's kinda sad really!

Or am I just having hangover emotions? 🤔

A real pity for the Rockstar employees. As much as we'd all like to know what's in store for GTA 6 I think it's much better to be left with some surprises.

Side note, there is talk that new cities will be added during the lifetime of GTA 6 through DLC? I have a feeling its gonna be a 15 year old game by the time 7 arrives. 😅

There was a rumour a while back about the game being called project Americas internally and it was to be set in multiple cities across both north and south America. This idea was later canned and the scale of the project pulled back in the interest of getting something finished. One of the videos I saw had file names that referenced project Americas so I'm taking it there's at least some truth to that rumour.

In fairness when you release the same game across 3 console generations and 9 years later ( probably 10/11 by time it's released) why should anyone feel pity or sympathetic towards Rockstar ? They've let GTA V drag out too long, online updates or not.

The footage itself is definitely early days for the game. It looks like they began with GTA V engine as the base for laying it out and with update it along the way. Hope it's a good as Red Dead 2 but I can't see it living up to the storyline of it simply because it was the best story mode of a game ever.

Like many my only gripe is that its set in modern day. Was really hoping for an 80s/90s setting.

I struggle to see why it has to be set in Vice City AGAIN. It's GTA, it will sell like crazy, set the game in Tokyo or anywhere else interesting.

Don't agree with the non feasible part there, Take 2 and Rockstar are loaded, they could easily come up with a fictional Tokyo or London.

Tokyo would be cool, they had the Yakuza in GTA3 so some legacy characters could be involved.

They had a GTA London before and Rockstar North are from the UK.

You can hardly compare the GTA London game to the level of detail they aim for in modern games. No one would have expected any real accuracy for London 1969. There's also the fact that London would be a very dreary, flat city compared to what they could do with Vice City.

The GTA games now are primarily made for the American market. Having the games set in America allows them to continue using American culture, vernacular, and is far easier to parody.

Could they set a game in Tokyo or London? Of course, it's definitely feasible. But to do what they do for the American cities, culture etc and translate it to another country/culture would be a gargantuan undertaking that I'm not sure would be worth it.

Just because they're going with another American city doesn't mean they can't do something new or interesting with it. Like I said, Vice City being Miami means you have the Everglades right beside it so you have huge variety and new stuff which can come from there. You also have Cuba across the water so like the previous Vice City you can have Cuban gangs/areas for different cultures/characters (Little Havana).

Just because you go back to the well doesn't mean you can't still draw fresh water.

Or Sleeping Dogs. They created a fantastic game map and setting, but I can't see how Rockstar could do the same. Even things like store names, billboards, radio stations etc, how could Rockstar do genuine parody versions of those which Western audiences would get? Are signs etc all written in Japanese or English? Can you parody Japanese culture better than Yakuza/LAD does?

If GTA had new games every 2-3 years, then a change in country would definitely be more warranted to keep things fresh. But 10 years since the last game and how the US has changed in those years, I'm glad they're keeping it in America. Ultimately, it's what they do with it that counts.
