Earlier right now, new gameplay footage of Grand Theft Auto 6 leaked onto the net, reportedly as a result of a hacker actually hates the shift from bodily to digital occurring within the recreation trade. Whereas Rockstar hasn’t but confirmed the validity of the leak, reuploads of the gameplay footage have continued to be eliminated as a result of copyright holder requests, in accordance with websites like Twitter. And the footage that leaked seems to be very genuine.
So yeah, it looks like a couple of minutes of GTA 6 gameplay have leaked on-line. Whereas Rockstar and Take-Two (and Netflix!) are seemingly pissed off about this information, we will dig by the footage and pull out new particulars concerning the upcoming open-world recreation launching in November on PS5 and Xbox.
Earlier than we hop into the leaked particulars, I simply wish to make it clear that we have now no means of understanding how previous this construct is and which components of it is going to nonetheless be current within the recreation when it launches later this 12 months. Some or all the beneath particulars may change or be eliminated totally between now and GTA 6‘s extremely anticipated launch. So simply maintain that in thoughts whereas scrolling.
Playable Basketball
In one of many leaked GTA 6 gameplay movies, we see Jason enjoying basketball. We haven’t been capable of play basketball in a GTA recreation since San Andreas. And this mini-game is likely to be extra vital than anticipated.
“Focus” Stat
Curiously, whereas enjoying basketball, we see a notification pop up after Jason makes a shot that appears to point a optimistic change to his “Focus” stat. That’s not a stat included in GTA V or GTA: San Andreas, so we will solely speculate what it means, however plainly mini-games like basketball may affect your characters’ stats.
Superior Water Physics
After capturing a couple of baskets, Jason’s ball bounces onerous off the home and rolls down a close-by boat ramp and into the water. And when it does so, it seems to be fairly spectacular. I do know it’s a foolish little element to note, but it surely actually does look and sound like a basketball rolling into some water. If tiny particulars like this are being simulated, I’m very curious what else is being simulated in GTA 6’s open world.
Stamina Meter
In a unique leaked GTA 6 gameplay video, we see Jason driving a automobile alongside a freeway. After crashing right into a supply truck, the driving force of the truck rams Jason’s automobile and will get out to battle him. It’s right here that we see what seems to be a stamina meter pop up throughout the fist battle. It appears fight won’t be so simple as in previous GTA video games the place you possibly can often simply spam the punch button a couple of instances to win most fights.
Pink Lifeless Redemption-like Melee Fight
Talking of combating, the melee fight in GTA 6, at the least on this leaked video, seems to be rather a lot like Pink Lifeless Redemption II‘s fisticuffs. Contemplating the melee and gun fight in RDR 2 was a lot better than what was present in GTA V, I’m comfortable to see Rockstar Video games taking a web page from its personal open-world western.
Six-Star Wished Stage Returns
After beating the supply driver to demise, Jason picks up a wrench the driving force was carrying and begins whaling on his corpse. After a couple of whacks, he receives a two-star needed stage. And when this occurs, we will see 4 pale, unfilled star icons subsequent to the 2 stars which are lit up. This appears to point that the six-star needed stage is again after being absent in GTA V, regardless of being a characteristic of earlier GTA video games. Does this imply the navy could be known as on Jason and Lucia in the event that they get too out of hand?
New Police Consciousness System
Beneath the police stars look like some new icons tied into a brand new needed system. It appears these icons characterize how a lot info the police have about you after committing against the law and occurring the run. Within the gameplay leak, police appear conscious of Jason’s clothes, automobile, and normal location. Maybe ditching your automobile for a brand new one and altering your shirt will enable you to keep away from the police patrolling for his or her suspect.
Morality
Maybe probably the most intriguing second within the leaked gameplay clip that includes Jason killing somebody is a second that appears to suggest GTA 6 will characteristic some form of morality system. After beating and killing the supply driver, we see a small satan icon seem on the display screen subsequent to a detrimental image. This appears to point some form of morality or status mechanic will probably be included in GTA 6. For a franchise that has lengthy allowed individuals to be maniacs with little long-term punishment, this looks like an fascinating wrinkle.
Loadout / Storage Choices
After killing the driving force, Jason runs again to his automobile, and as he approaches it, we see a couple of icons pop up mentioning “Storage,” “Loadout,” and “Shut.” These phrases seem close to white round icons that seemingly will include completely different button prompts. It seems GTA can have extra context-sensitive, dynamic button prompts, which ought to make the sport really feel much less clunky to play than GTA V and GTA On-line, with its overreliance on hitting proper on the D-pad for all the things.
Engine / Gasoline Icons
After the battle and as soon as Jason’s again in his automobile, we will spot a pop-up itemizing the automobile’s make and mannequin on the display screen. And beneath which are what look like icons representing the car’s fuel and engine. What does this imply? It’s attainable that for the primary time within the franchise’s historical past, gamers must handle gasoline whereas driving round. And it may also imply that your automobile can break down and cease working with out blowing up totally. Each would add much more immersion to the world, although I might additionally see it getting annoying.
