Well, the fact that it's an early and ramshackle mess, mostly. After all, the people most excited about GTA 6 got a brief, tantalising look at the game well in advance. If you're trying to work out who comes out ahead in all this, which I am for some reason, it's tempting to point to the fans. That's pretty neat, but I'm not sure it's go-to-prison neat. Probably the only new thing we did learn is that GTA 6 will likely feature at least two protagonists, one of whom-a Latina woman called Lucia-would be the singleplayer games' first playable female protagonist since GTA 2 on the Game Boy Colour. There will be crimes, cops will be dispatched to stop the crimes, the action will take place from a third-person perspective, and in the background of it all, NPCs will say zany and outrageous things much as they've been doing in GTA games for the last 20 or so years. What did we learn? That GTA 6 will look a lot like GTA 5 (which looked a lot like GTA 4, which… you get the idea). It's all been quite quiet since then.Īnd that's… pretty much where we are at the end of the year: A teenager in a youth detention centre, myriad videos of a game that won't see the light of day for years floating around the internet, and the gnawing possibility that someone, somewhere out there, might have access to GTA 5 and 6 source code, which has probably generated no end of sleepless nights for Rockstar technicians.ĭumping a wealth of contextless early build footage out on the internet is confusing and dispiriting, not educational, and it will only make Rockstar guard its secrets more jealously. He denied one charge of computer misuse but pleaded guilty to violating a prior set of bail conditions. The FBI got involved and, in an investigation performed alongside the City of London police, a 17 year-old in Oxfordshire in the UK was arrested mere days after the leak took place.

But rather than a cinematic, Holmes-and-Moriarty-style war of intellects between cops and crooks, the tale arrived at an anticlimax a few days later. The source of those rumours also currently believes the video leaks are real.So far, so Zero Cool. The footage also shows two different playable characters, one of whom is Latina and one of whom is a white man with his baseball cap on backwards, which matches up with previous rumours of a ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ style crime duo. That detail, like anything else, could be changed before the final game is released – which isn’t expected to happen for at least two years – but at the moment Vice City seems to be the plan. One major giveaway though, is that the setting does seem to be Vice City, with a tram having the city’s name written on it. We can’t show any of the images or videos for legal reasons but while the original thread on GTAForums has been taken down it’s not hard to find tweets and reposts if you start googling for ‘GTA 6 leak’.ĭespite the size of the leak, the amount of hard information that can be discerned from the videos and screenshots is relatively minor.
