Enormous Grand Theft Auto 6 Leak Reveals Lady Lead Driving, Capturing

A consumer on GTAForums, who claims to have additionally been behind the current hack of Uber, has simply dumped almost 100 movies on-line claiming to point out improvement footage of Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto VI, that are at the moment circulating throughout just about each social media platform.

Matching a lot of what Bloomberg reported earlier this yr—together with that the sport will co-star a lady and be set in Vice Metropolis—the movies are very a lot in-development footage, with unfinished textures and fashions all over, and code enjoying out in real-time throughout a lot of them. The leaker is at the moment taking requests asking individuals what else they’d prefer to see in additional movies.

In a single, a white male playable character encounters a racist NPC by a poolside, and because the dialog transpires you may see the code required for the interplay enjoying out alongside the in-game motion. In one other, the lady character—I’m solely specifying it like this as a result of it could be a sequence first—explores one of the series’ infamous strip clubs.

There’s additionally a video exhibiting “passenger shooting mechanics”, illustrated with the participant taking an AK-47 to some pursuing police automobiles, and another that showcases the inside modelling of a automobile.

One of many extra full movies uploaded exhibits each characters partnering as much as rob a diner, holding the patrons at gunpoint earlier than the police arrive. Others are in rougher form, and have little greater than a featureless placeholder character shifting round an empty panorama performing out fight animations like taking cowl.

The legitimacy of those movies is clearly in query. There’s actually quite a lot of footage, and faking each the motion and the code working on the identical time could be quite a lot of work for an web prank. But it surely’s nonetheless a leak, and until Rockstar feedback (we’ve reached out and can replace if we hear again), we gained’t know it’s actual till we will match what’s proven right here with no matter finally turns up in GTA VI.

If it is actual, then holy shit. Given the standing of the sport and the quantity of footage it could be one of many greatest of all time, proper up there with Half-Life 2. To this point, although, it’s wanting legit: not solely are reporters like ex-Kotaku behemoth Jason Schreier saying that Rockstar contacts have confirmed the information to them, Rockstar workers seem like liking tweets associated to the obvious hack. However the wildest half?

The hacker is attempting to strike a cope with Rockstar proper now, although we don’t know what form. To cease distributing extra materials? To make sure that the leaker doesn’t get sued? Regardless of the case, that is positively one of the vital unprecedented leaks in all of online game historical past.
