GTA 6

[Evil Vito]

Rockstar got hacked and over an hour of very early development GTA 6 footage was put out there along with source code.

I'd imagine it's a rough day for their IT security department.

[drave]

Eh. some employee on Slack. Given the craziness of Slack, my guess is this dude was most likely "let right in" via a Slackbot channel that acts as a doorkeeper for new users. problem is, this method will circumvent any SSO methods currently deployed. The proper method would be to set up a user account, grant access to Slack via a security group or role-based function, and then access it behind SSO.


This is part of my daily duties for an org with about 10k + employees. I get bitched at constantly.

[drave]

Now the REAL kick in the dick is the source code leak. Mainly, it will have to be re-built if they plan on continuing with Shark Cards, and they will. Otherwise, it can be reverse engineered in it's current state to just give infinite shark cards on-demand. That type of infrastructure is not built in a day, and has to be compliant on the customer-facing end to be allowed to take credit cards. For a machine to take credit card payments, it has to be compliant with PCI rules. It's a fucking mess.


That's the shittiest of the shitty. The EE who got wreck'd will also be let go...... that poor sod will be dragged through the mud 100 different ways. Hopefully, there's no legal recourse for what is presumably, a silly mistake.

[drave]

The hacker also fucked up by threatening, as I'm now reading. He has threatened to "spill more".


Now, beyond the passive-maliciousness, he is acting aggressive. That will net him an entirely new set of players in a different ballgame I don't think he wants to play.


It's one thing to get creds by spoofing, or social engineering. A completely different ball game with the actual data scientists are set out on you and making custom shit to track/locate/break most things you try to do online.

[drave]

Highlights from a video, that has since been taken down:





03:04 - Female Character's bedroom . 03:22 - A Section of the GTA VI Map. This also shows us that it is being played on a PlayStation Dev Kit)


. 05:42 - You can rob Fast Food joints. There is a timer before the cops are called. The main Male Character can also help you rob these places.


. 08:30 - "Any vehicle you are seen entering will be known to the Law." Police will remember the car that you left in. Perhaps to escape the law efficiently, you will have to ditch that car after outdriving the police and drive/steal another when cops aren't present in order to not be noticed by police.


. 10:32 - Breaking into Shipping Containers will be a feature. We also see text at the top right indicating that Spear Guns, Golf Balls, Tracker Jammers, Immobilizer Bypasses (to steal cars I assume), Flashbangs, USB Drives, Auto Dialers, Lockpicks, Slim Jims, Golf Wedges/Irons/Putters/Drivers, Crowbars, Hunter Snipers, Cut-off Tools (Perhaps the name for what he opened the shipping container with), Binoculars, Baseball Bats and Pool Cues. (I left out some of the more obvious weapons such as submachine guns, molotovs etc.) We also see an unfinished animation for picking up cash.


. 11:10 - "Cash sh*t" by Megan the Stallion and DaBaby will most likely be featured on a radio station


. 12:16 - We see a little outdoor theatre close to the water. I'm sure someone can pinpoint where this will be located on the map.


12:42 - Our Male Protagonist picks up an Assault Rifle from the ground, as opposed to the gun blipping into his inventory. This may imply that we can only carry the amount of guns that the characters can physically carry. We also see a seemingly unfinished version of the Weapon Wheel, which shows that we can also drop our weapons.
14:08 - some funny bugged animations hehe


15:47 - We see a list of World Events, such as Playing Dice, Dead Husband Disposal (?), Thrown Out, Lifeguard Tower, Park South, Museum, Drug Deal Cop Raid, Overdose Events (possibly drugs in game?), and many more that I'm sure someone will dive into. We also hear the song "30 Days in the Hole) by Humble Pie.


17:10 - We seem to be able to hear a Police Radio (either our character is a cop, stole/bought one, or is hearing one in the near distance). Also, if a hostile player spots us in their territory, they may shoot to kill.


18:15 - There is atleast one Pawn Shop in the game! Perhaps we will be able to sell stolen goods to them. Also, our Male Protagonist seems to enter some Dead-Eye-Like mode. It seems to highlight some of the store's items, which may imply that we can steal them.


20:35 - We see some more items on the top right such as Soda, Polymer Pistol, Wine and Fruit. We also see a menu show up, and there is an option to "Tame" (Possibly for animals??). There's also options for Fatigue, Elevators, ArrestInfo, Sweat and more.


22:40 - more bugged animation lol


23:10 - Strip Club. NPCs are interacting and even arguing. Three NPCs have a really funny argument at one point then they glitch and stand on chairs. We also see a message pop up on the right side that says "WhatUp! message recieved." Could this possibly be a Whatsapp parody?


24:31 - Detailed boat....than can be shot alot


24:54 - We see the Vice City Metro. It seems to be unfinished in the video. We also see a sprawling detailed city in the distance.

25:50 - A Funny interaction between our Male Protagonist and the Most Normal Floridian.


26:52 - Our Female Protagonist is on the back of a truck shooting at cops. cool feature.


28:17 - We see a Prone Animation. In my opinion, this was a much-needed feature. Thanks, Rockstar


28:40 - Our character will react differently when being shot at, even while walking. They will no longer face the bullets head-on like in previous titles.


34:43 - Some death animations. Thoughts? Better than GTA V? Keep in mind this is definitely subject to change. We also see fog in the early morning. It also looks like we won't be getting 6 Stars in this game, only 5.


35:32 - Our Male Protagonist is crouching, while bracing for bullets, while holding a bat. This is very cool.


39:40 - We see a detailed clothing editor, which I suspect is only for this dev build of the game.


40:03 - Our Male Protagonist is bracing for bullets while walking and holding a gun, and later while crouching and holding nothing but his hands over his face.


43:04 - Air Boats are in the game. We also get a decent look at one of the airports.


44:40 - We see another cop model. This seems to be a local cop of low authority.


46:30 - We see the detailed interior of a car and some of it's very detailed animations.


47:01 - More Strip Club and Exterior of Strip Club


47:51 - Our Male Protagonist seems to be cowering on the ground. Perhaps NPCs can hold you at gunpoint, or maybe this is related to how our character may react to a cop if outnumbered.


49:39 - Our Female Protagonist walks into a convenience store. The Song "Time Bomb" by The Ramones is playing


50:35 - Some pretty cool diving/ragdoll animations.


50:39 - Our Female Protagonist is weraing a duffle bag (Maybe we can wear this to store guns or steal items from stores/banks etc at the expense of running speed). We also see some unfinished HUD/inventory elements


51:00 - Our Male Protagonist swims underwater, maybe while holding a gun


51:43 - Our Male Protagonist assaults people in the street.


51:52 - Our Female Protagonist jumps onto a chair. I am unsure as to whether this was because of user input or a default jumping animation by the game itself.


52:46 - We will possibly be able to carry people over our back. As we saw earlier, the other Protagonist can accompany us while robbing stores and doing other activities, so perhaps if they get wounded we will be able to carry them to safety.



comments are not mine, but the summary thread on reddit.

[Evil Vito]

Gonna be a shitstorm for a while. Even before all of this most people were estimating late 2024/early 2025 before this game ever got released and if they now have to scrap and re-write source code it could be considerably longer.

[Evil Vito]

Hacker is dumb as fuck if he keeps up with the threats though. This isn't some terrorist/hostage situation, this is a video game. It's not like he can extort them for millions.

Dude's gonna eventually get caught and end up in a legal maelstrom over a video game.

[drave]

lol, he's only asking for 5 figures for GTA V source code, and VI is not for sale right now.


Nonetheless, R* better start finding a way to patch their shit.

[rez]

hmmm...at least we now know there won't be SA and LC locations :(

[rez]

wanted to be able to fly between all the main territories (outside of London) asset reuse.

[rez]

No more fucking flying cars.

[drave]

kid was caught

[DAMN iNATOR]

hmmm...at least we now know there won't be SA and LC locations :(

Well, if the “Liberty City, it’s over!” thing from the Grand Theft Auto IV manual is anything to go by, they may never go back to LC, and going back to SA after Grand Theft Auto V was set there would just be silly. Also, I’m not even really sure how well received a game in the series that has bits of story in every location used since the PS2 era would even be. Just saying.

[rez]

could have been epic and the largest geographical video game ever. they've been milking 5 for so long it could last the next few generations of consoles. then add London. bam

[DAMN iNATOR]

I kind of think fictionalized versions of different cities is the way to go moving forward. Yes, everyone who has played the games remembers London, LC, VC, SA and the world's of the portable titles fondly, but I’m curious how a fictional Detroit or Chicago, heck even Mexico City if they ever wanted to do a game set outside the USA again.

[Big Vic]

Fuck it, I hope they add space travel.

[Big Vic]

"All you had to do was follow the damn meteorite, CJ!"

[drave]

They kinda did UFO stuff in V....... so why not?

[drave]

Would be funny if they DID do some space stuff and did it better than Starfield before it even releases.

[Big Vic]

Reddit going off saying there will be a trailer before the end of the year.

[Fignuts]

Rockstar themselves tweeted out that a trailer is coming early december.

[Destor]

Sounds like reddit knows whats up

[ClockShot]

So. Next Tuesday.

[rez]

Tomorrow

[Emperor Smeat]

Trailer got leaked ahead of tomorrow's scheduled release and instead of trying to take it down from those who leaked it, Rockstar ended up officially releasing it early.

[Fignuts]

Looks amazing. Skyline is gorgeous. Also, holy shit if the npc density is that high.

[Fignuts]

Not just the amount but how it looks like they're all doing their own thing and not all just walking aimlessly.

[ClockShot]

*long low pitched whistle*

That looks purdy.

[rez]

Incels mad one of the protagonists is officially female because of course.

We will see if that many NPCs (and flamingos) end up being that dense but Rockstar typically what you see is what you get. I love all the Florida Man stuff.

[rez]

I wonder if there will still be radio stations or if it'll be Spotify stand in playlists/podcasts/Tiktok esque? Hoping for DJs...always so funny.

[Big Vic]

Can't wait to twerk on cars.

[drave]

Holy shit!

I'll hold my breath with the trailer vs reality.... been burned a TON on that the past few years. But if so..... JESUS TF CHRISTOS!

[rez]

I wonder how much of the ocean (and underwater) there will be? Sea monster sightings anyone?

[Big Vic]

Can I see one of these threads? Need a good laugh.

[rez]

Stand in cities for Tampa, Daytona, etc? There's gotta be for the Orlando area (theme parks!). Havana stand in?

[rez]

Can I see one of these threads? Need a good laugh.

FB groups. Probably can find some in IGN's comments....if only Metroid Prime could have waited for this time line to reveal a female protagonist lol

[rez]

A tennis court and jet skis were shown. There's a moving barge.

Deep sea fishing? Scuba diving? Dump bodies for the fishes? Crabbing? Parasailing? I hope to get a game of pickleball in lol

[rez]

How will they address vehicle key fobs? Some kind of FlipperZero like device?

100% going to create some Dexter looking mutherfucker in online and dump bodies in the ocean :shifty::shifty::shifty:

Can't wait for the inevitable "GTA gone woke!?" videos.

[Emperor Smeat]

Really hope GTA 6 has a mission that is just titled "Florida Man" and it ends up being one of the craziest missions ever in GTA history.

[rez]

:yes:

[rez]

This is the whole mission

Did you see the FLORIBAMA MUDDIN' BOY?!?!!?

It's gonna get crazy.

[Big Vic]

Can't wait for the inevitable "GTA gone woke!?" videos.

Tim Pool looks to have started rolling this ball.

Musk started rolling another ball on why he couldn't play GTA5 because he couldn't morally kill the cops.

[Evil Vito]

God this looks so fucking fun

Boner

[Sepholio]

Stand in cities for Tampa, Daytona, etc? There's gotta be for the Orlando area (theme parks!). Havana stand in?

I could see them doing like San Andreas and expanding beyond just knock off Florida. Considering the rumors of this map being far larger than the previous maps, I could possibly see an Atlanta or New Orleans based city being part of the map.

[Sepholio]

Man GTA lampooning New Orleans would actually be pretty awesome now that I think about it.

[DAMN iNATOR]

We need GTA VII to be set in the Midwest and parody Chicago and Detroit.

[Sepholio]

Oh God I'm imagining getting missions from Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J. Gotta hold down the mean streets of Detroit city for all the juggalos and juggalettes.

[Shadow]

All I'm asking for Rockstar is one thing and one thing only.

Actual underwater stuff.

[ClockShot]

Didn't GTA 5 have the packages underwater and you can use Scuba gear or a mini sub to get them?

Don't see why they wouldn't follow up on that in 6.

[drave]

Nah man. Leave that underwater stuff as it is with the sub. No sharks and shit. Thalassophobic AF

[rez]

If cyberpunk can do it so can we!

[drave]

That was just Judy Booty simulator tho.

[Evil Vito]

This map's gonna be so big you'd have to buy an exclusive hard drive for it

[drave]

The map will be $9.99

[rez]

The maps are too damn high

[drave]

Fully expecting a lot of customizations in online that are free in V to cost $$$ in VI.

Because R* at this point, knows people will spend MILLIONS without thinking about it.

[rez]

I expect there to be a monthly shark dollars or real dollars home/apt/Bunker/hq rentals

[drave]

100.

Fortnite does it pretty well with their Crew Battle Pass. Rockstar is poised to make more money than they will know what to do with (jk) with this new one.

Remember, GTA:O was the first time they launched online. With that foundation, coupled with the YEARS of data from it, they will have it laid out to entice that wallet on the daily.

[rez]

Stadiums and arenas with NPC players. Just think of the in game sports betting possibilities

[drave]

Fuck yeah. Take the stage progression from Ryse: Son of Rome and place some modern buildings and pew pew guns all over.

Man, they could re-create The Running Man, and it'd be one of the best game modes. It'd be like the other Rockstar game Manhunt. Put that mode into the game and proooooffffiiiiiiitttt!

[rez]

Well, I was implying more like soccer, American football, etc but that's even better.

[Tom Guycott]

Man GTA lampooning New Orleans would actually be pretty awesome now that I think about it.

Prob'ly updating the Saint Denis section from Red Dead, but as a modern city, with nods to some of the RDR old west architecture... but have that as more the western side of the map instead of being some of the land farthest east.

You're prob'ly right about an analogue Atlanta sitting somewhere to the north, as well. And then, Vice City itself will be likely completely overhauled to be a vastly different "Florida" like they've already done with "California" between San Andreas and 5 and "New York" between 3 and 4.

Lol

[Evil Vito]

Tim Pool is a fuckhead so I'm not surprised he has another fuckheaded opinion

[Big Vic]

People saying the size of GTA6 will bee at least 200gb....... RIP gaming PC.

[drave]

If your gaming pc is going to be consumed terribly by 200gb, you did something wrong.

[Big Vic]

Bought it for $900 in 2021. It can hold 250gb and hasn't been an issue for the 3 years we had it....

We have a back up hard drive. Maybe GTA6 can be put there? Dunno if that will cause performance issues.

[drave]

It will depend on two primary things:

Which USB version it is using, you want minimum 3.0 (also called superspeed)

The kinda storage you store things on. You will want a SSD. Biggest bang for your buck in terms of performance.

Games that are more intense on your GPU should be installed on the local SSD, where there's direct access to the GPU, rather than being bottlenecked by the USB cable.

USB 3.0 and up
SSD

[poopfromweiner dude]

nerd alert lol

[Big Vic]

Rumored to be $100, oof.

Not sure if I will get it anyway as I think I have aged out of really being into this genre of games.

[Big Vic]

VQRLujxTm3c

[DAMN iNATOR]

One does not simply age out of GTA.

[OssMan]

One does not simply age out of GTA.

Not True of course

[Fignuts]

In regard to the story and tone, GTA obviously leans heavily into lowbrow satire, which can certainly have diminishing returns as we get older.

That said, I will never tire of exploring Rockstar's open worlds as they always push the boundaries of what's possible in creating living breathe worlds. The attention to detail is really incredible, and whenever I come back to RD2 or GTA 5, I still find things I had never seen before.

Some people are incredulous that the game will look that good on standard PS5, but my question is whether the npcs will truly be as dynamic as they appear in the trailer and screenshot. If it was any other developer, I would call bullshit right out of the gate and assume that in game footage or not, it's all preprepared cutscenes, but when you look at the jump from gta 5 to red dead 2, it's not that implausible.
