GTA V, one of the biggest open world games of recent years, is still very popular even though it has been 9 years since its release. But of course, many players were excitedly waiting for the new game in the series and hoped that Rockstar would make a “more realistic” GTA game.
Although many players called the leak videos that fell like a bomb on the internet yesterday, Jason Schreier, one of the important names of the game press, confirmed that the videos were real through his sources at Rockstar. In fact, immediately after this statement, Take Two, the owner of Rockstar, copyrighted all the videos with images of the new GTA on the internet. So what is so important in these videos? Let’s take a closer look at the details that we missed in the dozens of videos leaked together.
Important note: Since the leaked videos about the game have been removed by Take Two, we cannot include videos in this content.
We now have a playable female character
One of the rumors circulating about the game for years was that there would be a playable female character in the game for the first time. When we look at the resulting videos, we see that there will indeed be a playable female character in the game. It is immediately clear that the character was not modeled as such. Because the name of the character is specified as Lucia in the codes. Another playable character in the game is a male named Jason.
Again, when we take a look at the ready-made dialogue options in the codes, the codes that indicate that a relationship may begin between Lucia and Jason after a point in the game also draw attention. Care has been taken in the modeling of both characters and their voiceovers have already begun.
No more flying motorcycles: A more realistic GTA is coming
One of the biggest complaints from GTA Online players was that the once realistic game was filled with flying motorcycles, cars and alien laser guns over time. Just because of this “getting away from realism”, many players left GTA Online and turned to Role Play servers.
Hearing this rightful revolt of the players, Rockstar (apparently) rolled up his sleeves and started working to make the most realistic GTA game possible. When we look at the videos that emerged about the game. We can see many different animations such as the characters sliding according to the type of ground when they suddenly stop while running, pulling the objects in front of them to the side while crawling on the ground, falling down in various ways and protecting their faces when they are unarmed in the conflict area.
But aside from all this, the most striking feature is the new inventory system added to the game. As far as we can see, we have 5 weapon and equipment compartments in some videos and 8 in others, we can carry only one weapon in these compartments and the weapons we carry (for example, machine guns) are clearly visible on our back. We can leave our current weapons on the ground whenever we want and replace it with a better weapon.
Even cars will be more realistic
Los Santos Tuners update, one of the latest additions to GTA Online, added different cars and customizations to the game and won the admiration of car enthusiast players. It seems that Rockstar has already started to work harder to win the hearts of car enthusiasts.
In the resulting videos, we get the chance to take a closer look at the interior design of a car. When the detailed design, almost in Forza Horizon 5 quality, is combined with the functionality, an astonishing image emerges. There’s no doubt that things like the lower visor, adjustable steering wheel height, and reclining seats were made to make the game more realistic. Again, according to some information in the codes of the game, each customization added to the vehicles will directly affect the weight and performance of the vehicle.
Dreams come true: we return to Vice City
Perhaps the most anticipated thing about the game was that the game would take us back to Vice City. Listening to the wishes of the players, albeit partially, in this regard, Rockstar seems to have prepared the map of the game according to the wishes of the players.
The fact that the game is set in a mild tropical area, there are plenty of palm trees, the phrase “Port Gellhorn” on some police vehicles and the presence of Spanish signs in some places shows us that the game will most likely take place in a city based in the US state of Florida. The state of Florida, which includes Miami, where Vice City is based, is known for its 66.6% Spanish speaking rate, tropical climate, abundant palm trees and swamps.
In addition, it is noteworthy that the Airboat, a special transportation vehicle to the swamps, is seen in some videos. On top of all this, seeing the Vice City Metro in blood indicates that the map will be larger than GTA V and will cover many different cities or regions.
A fully living city
While playing GTA V, you may have noticed that the city is very lively at first. However, after spending tens of hours in the game, you realize that everything you see is actually repeated and the city loses its magic. Rockstar seems to have found the solution to this situation as well.
In the leaked videos, we see that different movement patterns, animations and interactive dialogs are set for the NPCs in the game. Again, when we look at the leaked source codes, you come across hundreds of different animation and voiceover files, some for all NPCs and some for specific NPCs. These animations allow the game to have a living world for a long time, and allow players to encounter new things every time they enter the game.
Are the graphics really bad?
When you look at the leaked videos of GTA 6, the first thing that attracts the attention of many players is that my graphics are almost the same as GTA V. However, at this point, it should be noted that the resulting videos of the game are actually a very early process of GTA 6 that is not even ready for testing. We see that there are still serious modeling deficiencies, bugs and optimization problems in the videos. So the game has more points that need improvement. Moreover, it should be noted that this game, which has low graphics, has been tested with the RTX 2080 SUPER graphics card.
So what will be the future of GTA 6?
Especially after the videos were leaked and some of the source code was made public and the rest went up for sale, Rockstar has already started posting copyright notices one by one on forum pages that share gameplay-related videos, YouTube videos that use the footage, and other content. Famous game journalist Jason Schreier stated that there is currently chaos within the company. Many game analysts think that these leaks can negatively affect the future of GTA. Rockstar made a statement in the minutes when this content was written and stated that they were very sorry for the cyber attack and they were disappointed that the information about the GTA under development was presented to the players in this way. Stating that they will continue to develop the game, the officials stated that they will make a more detailed statement soon.
