Yes this is not good news. Rockstar will likely have to rewrite most of the code leading to a delay.

Bobertt949d ago

The game basically looked like just GTA 5 with different graphics. I saw no improvements to AI, shooting, driving, missions, etc. To me it looks like just another cash grab at this point. So a delay to actually make a next gen GTA wouldn't be the worst thing.

Jin_Sakai949d ago

@Bobertt

You can’t judge the footage this early in development. This is very early code.

Epicor949d ago

What? Why would they need to do that? Of course this leak is horrible for R* but this shouldn't cause any delays. Or am I missing something here?

1nsomniac949d ago

Yea the notion that they’d have to rewrite all their code because someone had seen it is a little bizarre. I don’t know why you would think that.

PapaBop949d ago

How can it be delayed when there is next to no official information regarding the project? You can't delay what isn't announced.

crazyCoconuts949d ago

@jin that doesn't make any sense

TheKingKratos949d ago

Why ??

That is very early code .... It will be missing tons and tons of work in gameplay,AI, Graphics,story, voice acting,music etc etc etc that was done while the game in development

They need to do nothing but keep working on their project

Palitera949d ago

10k lines of code is NOTHING in a project of this size.
FFS, our tiny game's Player script alone has 1k+ lines and it barely touches his main behaviours.

Apparently, because they milked GTA 5, and online(even though gamers continued buying their content) and were silent on their next release, some believe they deserve to be hacked because they're weren't open about their next release. That it's Rockstar's fault. As if Rockstar is on gamer time and not on internal developer time. "Not more open" without believing that gamers should be more **patient**, is some serious entitlement of thinking you need to know when you want to. And not when a company thinks it's time and they are ready.

By this thinking, any company that is milking a product or are silent on their next release, need to be hacked. That's not right. It would mean Naughty Dog, for re-releases of TLofU and not telling gamers on their next project, deserve hacking.

Yeah. It sucks having to wait for information to come out. But no company deserves to be hacked that isn't doing anything criminal. And is only working hard behind the scenes silently with their next project.

monkey602949d ago

I just can not understand the hacker or the sympathisers' line of thought at all!

Owlbert949d ago (Edited 949d ago )

It's called extortion... Take two can teach you all about it, with their shark cards✌️

FIELDMARSHALL_P949d ago

The internet has caused it lol I remember being a kid waiting on games to come out because I heard about it in the latest issue of Nintendo power. WE HAD TO WAIT patiently, we couldn't go to a forum and complain and cry it just was what it was and we survived. People need to get out of the info now mode all the time. Let shit age like fine wine then we will get the quality stuff we demand. Keep being pushy, hacking, complaining, and we get buggy crap and delays.

randomvoice949d ago

Exactly this! Also, why do people forget that they built RDR2 in the middle which itself was a masterpiece and took over 4-5 years. It isn't like Rockstar has been sitting on their asses doing nothing. Yeah they could be quicker in delivering games but the scale they pick which gets bigger every game means it takes time and effort.

Mothman1984949d ago (Edited 949d ago )

ApocalypseShadow@ Every company is doing "something" illegal. You just need to dig deep enough. Not a good argument, not good at all. Because everybody has a criminal under the skin.

ApocalypseShadow949d ago (Edited 949d ago )

You go and chase phantoms if you want. Prove to me Rockstar is doing illegal activities? Present your facts. I don't need your wild speculation.

The company doesn't deserve to be hacked. You can deflect all day while saying absolutely nothing. Keeping silent until they are ready isn't illegal. Not giving gamers new information isn't illegal.

Sony has resold Spider-Man more than once. They have not shown gameplay of Spider-Man 2. Does that mean they deserve to be hacked? No.

Come back when you really got something. Right now, you have nothing.

XxINFERNUSxX949d ago

If you want to share the code make a torrent and there you go. No worries at all, it will not be taken down by shit bags Take Two they are helpless if you share it this way. 😁

Shiore2u949d ago

@ disagrees
I don't get how anyone can sympathize with Take-Two or Rockstar given their egregious history. They treat their employees like disposable sweatshop workers and their customers like morons. They deserve this and worse.

IRetrouk949d ago

Do the devs who worked on it deserve it too?

Shiore2u949d ago (Edited 949d ago )

@IRetrouk
Wouldn't be surprised if it's an overworked developer not allowed to leave the office to spend time with his/her family under a career ultimatum from a superior that ended up doing it. Rockstar San Diego's toxic management and work crunch during RDR's development had plenty such examples.

NotoriousWhiz949d ago

^ I'm not sure that would make the developer's career any easier. I suspect it would make it a lot harder. And then to also do that to own their team would be awful.

IRetrouk948d ago

It wasn't an employee, the team of devs who have worked hard on this do not deserve this at all, no excuse.

If Rockstar Needed an Excuse to Charge $100 for GTA 6, Nintendo Just Pulled the Trigger

TNS: With the Nintendo Switch 2 bringing new games that cost $80 bucks, what's stopping Rockstar from giving GTA 6 a price tag of $100 or more?

badz14920d ago

Hopefully everyone will hate Nintendo with passion like they did Sony if this happens. $90 physical games here Nintendo comes!

But honestly, I applaud their balls going for that $450 pricetag with a 1080p lcd screen and a mere 256GB storage. Additional SD card is definitely needed and they're expensive and their games are expensives despite the 3rd party games being the worst version of the bunch.

Good luck, I guess.

CDbiggen20d ago

I feel like people aren't talking enough about the storage situation. It kind of has been overshadowed by the prices.

badz14920d ago

The price should make the matter worse if you consider the storage. And the mere 12GB of RAM, most probably only like 10GB usable due to the OS needing some reserves but that's being generous. Considering the "new" online features, I doubt 2GB of RAM is enough for the OS. With under 10GB RAM, you can just forget 4K even if the system supports 4K output. I think even 1440p will be reached only with DLSS. RT? Yeah maybe at 900p

Tacoboto20d ago

Steam Deck is $400 for a dramatically lower quality display - 800p 60hz non-HDR - and a lower capacity battery.

It has the superb ecosystem, but no baseline for performance and "Verified" lately tends to mean titles that just barely run on the thing.

CDbiggen20d ago

I was so disappointed by my steam deck's display, IPS glow and everything, only for them to bring out the OLED a year or so later. So like with pro model consoles, I now know to wait for the OLED models for handhelds.

badz14919d ago

Would be crucified for sating this but OLED is not the be all and end all for a good display and experience. Yeah, the Deck LCD is kinda bad, but I am still genuinely impressed by the display of the PS Portal which is also LCD. Reports are saying that the Switch 2 display is equally good too.

gold_drake20d ago

but to be very fair

people already said that they dont care about the price of gta6. so this will give rockstar even more push to do it

MarvelzDJ20d ago

Yeah but probably it will be worth it. If ubisoft or EA price their yearly crap games 100$ I wouldn‘t even consider buying them for a second.

gold_drake20d ago

no game is worth a 100 dollar price tag.

MarvelzDJ20d ago

R* doesn‘t need an excuse. Their games use to set the bar so high that no one even comes close for years and years. No company has come close to RDR2 when it comes to open worlds and the same will happen with GTA6.

FACTUAL evidence20d ago

I have no problem with companies wanting to charge 100$ for their games. I would just never buy them. 🙅

GTA VI Marketing Window Is Relatively Close To Its Release

The marketing window for Take-Two Interactive and Rockstar Games' open world action game, GTA VI, is relatively close to its release.

lucasnooker27d ago

It’s not coming this year. I don’t know why people can’t accept this! lol

Profchaos26d ago

Until Rockstar outright say it's not happening then it's happening.

They dropped the trailer and got 200 million views in a few days they could shadow drop the game and it would outsell everything that has ever existed movies and games

Abear2126d ago

Agreed, but with each day that passes and we hear nothing the more obvious it becomes that Rockstar themselves aren’t sure it’ll be ready.

Putte27d ago

So April will actually be the month when it all starts. So they have changed the hype windue a little with shorter time between marketing and release. I like that

lucasnooker27d ago

Yeah yeah. Downvote me all you like. Y’all gonna see soon when we get that official delay. We ain’t even got trailer 2 yet. You guys are delusional

Abear2126d ago (Edited 26d ago )

I think you’re right, maybe an Ass Creed Shadows situation where they launch a few months later than expected to polish up.

I’ve been checking gaming news lately with more excitement knowing the second trailer or release day is going to be announced and it’s crickets.

The silence is deafening at this point and it does seem more likely it’ll slip to first quarter of ‘26

thorstein27d ago

"Marketing window"

Rockstar just needs to drop the release date and the entire gaming world stops.

Putte27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Next month will be the time the world stops.

Profchaos26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

According to Rockstar that window is whenever they damn well please

They gave a singular sentence saying we can't wait to show what we have been up to last December and the world lost it's mind the trailer would go on to hit 250 million views on Rockstars channel not including the many more ign or other outlets got making the trailer one of the most watched videos within 24 hours

Putte26d ago

Yes and that is what everybody is debating now. When that is. What's your point?

Profchaos26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

I'm not convinced by this statement given the initial trailer dropped in December 2023.

Rumour — Rockstar Is Planning Roblox/Fortnite-Style User-Generated Content For GTA VI

Rockstar Games is reportedly looking to incorporate user-generated content similar to Roblox and Fortnite for Grand Theft Auto VI.

The developer has apparently already met with a number of major Roblox and Fortnite creatures about the possibility of building custom experiences in GTA VI, with Rockstar reportedly planning to allow the game’s environment and assets to be modified by creators to implement their own IP into the sandbox.
