Grand Theft Auto Series Discussion

I like GTA games, but as a stop-gap... I am sort of looking at that new Saints Row, but it also looks cringe.

SR might be fun... but I wouldn't pay full price.  I personally found it too crass (the older games).

The first game was pretty good.  But then they lost all seriousness around 3.

So here is my guess since we know it's southern Florida.

They will have Vice City, maybe the everglades and a city opposite on the western coast.  I think they will have a "Key West" type area too.

^ That seems like a safe bet.  I would expect that too.

The new Saints Row has fallen flat on its face.  Reviewers are slamming it.  GTA's pedestal atop remains... not that we expected it to shift to Saints Row.

It's too bad, I wanted Saints Row to be good, but people say the main cast is pretty insufferable and the game feels outdated.  Still might be a fun sandbox though.  Maybe in a few months with patches and updates, it could be better.

GTA's biggest downfall will be itself even despite the ever-changing culture around it.

We got a massive leak with over 90 video clips of the next GTA VI.  Of course the majority of people are very angry and upset with the leaks, but from what we saw, it looks super promising.

DO NOT POST THE LEAKS HERE DIRECTLY.  You can post images and links to videos from a third party, but not the main source. But we can discuss them.

Take 2 will likely use their power to find this hacker, and prosecute them to the highest extent of the law.  Massive lawsuits.  A Rockstar game has never been leaked to this level or had their source code hacked before.  This is a huge deal.

As always the GTA Forums mapping community is hard at work piecing together the map.  They were incredible for GTA V.

We got to see a male and female character as protagonists, we got to see some little bits of the map and saw names such as Vice City and police cars with the name Port Gellhorn, which is a tie in to Ernest Hemingway. 
We see vehicles from GTA V with the game, notably the police cars with placeholder designs.  Some rough voice work is also done.

It looks like we've mostly seen locations from Southern Florida and some rural areas.  We've seen Vice City Police, Port Gellhorn, and Ocean Park Police.  So that is at least three separate areas we know of so far.

I'm gonna have to catch up with this stuff.  Super hyped right now, but it also STINKS this loser hacked them.

[RainySunshine]

DO NOT POST THE LEAKS HERE DIRECTLY.  You can post images and links to videos from a third party, but not the main source. But we can discuss them.

There have been over 50 minutes of developer footage leaked. This is all 50 from a 3rd party source.

[Anyponedrawn]

This is huge.  We finally get the big one.  The game looks incredible from what I've seen.  You can tell it is real Rockstar work because of how much detail is in everything.

[Grapefoot]

This really makes me mad this idiot would do this.  I really hope they can find him and drain this hacker of all their money and throw em' in jail.  This is not right at all.

It's going to delay the game because Rockstar is going to have to change the source code.  Morale is going to be crushed.

[MasterXtreme]

This guy shares it all in a 15 minute rundown by explaining it.  No footage shown.

[RainySunshine]

Thank you for that link. ^

I hope the hacker gets caught too.  It's horrible what they've done to all the developers working on this game.  In that same breath though, it's very exciting to see this stuff because it looks awesome. 

But it's going to definitely have big negative impacts on GTA VI and its release.

[Darrin]

Yes, as MASTERxTREME said, DO NOT POST DIRECT LINKS to the original post that has all the videos.  This also goes for future posts.

You can link to Youtube videos NOT by the hacker, because those will probably be taken down by Take 2.
