This game is going to be insane. Rockstar Games has suffered yet another “leak” of GTA VI as a new, huge document compiled by fans from last year’s huge leak detailed all the released brand-new game and world mechanics in meticulous fashion.
I’m happy we can finally see some images and info about GTA VI in a coherent manner, but these leaks are not good for the game.
Despite being one of gaming’s most notoriously secret companies, Rockstar Games has had a few torrid years of late with leaks and hacks as nearly a year after the huge GTA VI gameplay footage leak, a brand-new document compiled by fans about the info on the game’s mechanics and environment has been released on the internet. And, let me tell you that the game sounds INSANELY GOOD!
Now, I don’t want this article to sound like I condone this hacking/leaking of private and internal information about games as I think it’s one of the worst things a person can do to a gaming company. Not only does it reveal sensitive information that was supposed to be released later or left as a secret/surprise for fans, but it also hurts the hype and anticipation around the game or company that suffered the leak. So, I’m against leaking and I’m a firm believer whoever does said leaks should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Yet, with that said, since Pandora’s Box has been open and these new documents have been released to the public, I have to say that GTA VI sounds amazing.
For those who don’t have the feintest clue what I’m talking about, a brand-new, 60-page document, styled in a Star Wars-themed reveal, containing a comprehensive list of all images, videos, screenshots, Python code, character names, story snippets, game mechanics, setting locations, new environment mechanics, etc. leaked in that massive hack of Rockstar Games last year has been made and released to the public today.
And, even though there’s so many things one can choose to focus on (such as the main characters Jason and Lucia being a Bonnie and Clyde-esque duo, Lucia being the first official female protagonist for a GTA game, the new weapons and weapon wheel, and the hundreds of new events, features, and vehicles), the coolest thing for me is how integrated your protagonist is with the world and how HUGE the world is.
Starting off with how big the world is, the map of GTA VI looks like it’s at least as big as RDR2’s map (if not larger) and is inspired by the Florida peninsula. It’s going to be so much fun driving through Vice City (aka: Miami), the suburbs of a southern Florida-esque, and the rural outskirts to evade the police and commit crimes for fun.
Yet, the more interesting of these two reveals is how much activities and locations you can explore. There was already a ton of locations one could dive into in the GTA V, yet from the sound of these leaks, it appears you can literally go in any building in Vice City and rob, steal, threaten, or murder anyone your sick, deranged protagonist wants.
Brand new activities, such as money laundering, engaging with fences, starting businesses, hacking, and rob with your partner, makes this game sound like one of the most interactive, realistic (if you’re an insane, sociopathic criminal) titles on the market when it releases…which could be as early as 2024 as the game was revealed to be in a polishing/debugging state.
Nevertheless, I don’t want to reveal too many things about this game as it’s up to you guys to seek out this leaked document if you wish, but I hope these leaks and snippets of information gets you even more excited for this game as Rockstar have seemingly forgotten to promote this thing.
