A user at GTAForumswho claims to have been afterwards too the latest hack by Uberhas just uploaded almost 100 videos claiming to show development footage of Rockstar grand theft auto VI, currently circulating on pretty much every social media platform.
Appropriately much of What Bloomberg reported earlier this year-including that the game will star and come into play a woman vice city—the videos are very much footage in development, with unfinished textures and models everywhere, and code is played in real time in many of them. The leaker is currently taking requests asking people what else they would like to see in more videos.
In one, A white male playable character meets a racist NPC at a pool, and as the conversation develops, you can see the code required for the interaction that occurs alongside the in-game action. In another, the female character – I’m only specifying it that way because it would be a first series –explore one of the series’ infamous strip clubs.
There is also a video that “Mechanics for shooting passengers‘, illustrated with the player bringing an AK-47 to some pursuing police cars, and another that presents the interior modeling of a car.
One of the more complete videos uploaded shows both characters teaming up to rob a restaurant and holding the diners at gunpoint before the police arrive. Others are in a rougher form, featuring little more than a featureless placeholder character moving through an empty landscape and performing combat animations as if taking cover.
The legitimacy of these videos is obviously in question. There’s certainly plenty of footage out there, and faking both the action and the code running at the same time would be a lot of work for an internet prank. But it’s still a leak, and unless Rockstar comments (we’ve reached out and will update when we get feedback), we won’t knows it is real until we can match what is shown here with what eventually emerges GTA VI.
If it is really, then holy shit. Given the status of the game and the amount of footage it has, it would be one of the greatest ever. right up there with me half-life 2.
