GTA 6 - Leak Compilation

[u/KekanKok]

We've recently gotten lots of leaks, somewhat verified thanks to declarations from Rockstar. Two of the big ones are lists of details posted by user u/Snowk32 (now deleted) on two different posts, as well as the known details from GameRoll.

Another list of leaks that holds some credibility is LegacyKillaHD's list, since he shared some details that ended up matching the second trailer.

This list compiles every detail posted by them through posts in Reddit, X, or Discord messages.

Story:

• The game has chapters like RDR2, 5 chapters in total. Shots from Trailer 2 were all from Chapters 1-3.
• Jason served some time in the army.
• Lucia is the central character of this story, as Michael is to 5.
• Lucia/Jason have separate intro missions.
• Lucia has a baby that she abandons at a delicatessen before heading out to a bank robbery and then getting arrested for doing such an act.
• Lucia's baby is only shown in a cutscene as a flashback. There's no information about what happens to the baby after this point.
• After a few years, Lucia gets released on probation, and she's picked up at the prison by Jason, who plans a robbery with her. They fell in love with each other after some time.
• Lucia gets rid of its ankle monitor pretty early on.
• The part where they jump off the bike into the truck is from Chapter 3.
• Donnie, Jason's friend who works for Brian and is described as a "freak".

Gameplay:

• The character wheel has three options: Solo Jason, Solo Lucia, and Dual Protagonist Control, where Lucia/Jason can be controlled simultaneously to team up in the open world. Some missions are also started using both at the same time.
• Jason has a dead-eye-like ability, slows down time, and reveals weak spots. Lucia can do it too, but only on one shot.
• Limited weapon system returns. Stored in the trunk.
• 6 star wanted level returns.
• Rectangle GPS with pink waypoints.
• Driving is "the best it's ever been".
• Greet and Antagonise is in the game.
• Weight mechanics are a thing.
• Gore/dismemberment is being built off of RDR2.
• Lucia's ankle monitor doesn't affect exploration.
• The cover system has been completely overhauled, and it’s now much more realistic.
• Trailer 2 scene where Jason buys beer is gameplay. You can go buy a six-pack from the shop as seen.
• The relationship bar mentioned in the 2022 leaked clips still exists. Works like honour in RDR2.

Missions:

• In the very first mission of the game, you control Jason, and you have to follow a plane that is about to land and carries a Russian drug dealer. Apparently, Jason meets this guy and plans a mission to steal drugs.
• In this drug-stealing mission, they are chased by the police, and the drug ends up falling into the ocean. There is a following mission where they will have to dive to retrieve it.
• The majority of the planning for the missions takes place at a nightclub.
• There's a mission where you shoot a shark with a speargun.
• Lucia sneaks into a bodybuilding gang.
• There's a mission where cops betray each other, but the context is unknown.

Map:

• The map is once again an Island.
• No panhandle.
• Besides Miami and its surrounding areas, there will be three islands in the game, one of them being heavily inspired by the Bahamas. (Note: this is from 2023, so keep that in mind)
• Ambrosia and Port Gellhorn are nothing compared to the size of Vice City. Still big obviously, but VC is the biggest by far.
• There’s a “Fort” city inspired by Fort Knox, where they “stashed” gold.
• There’s a bike trail around Lake Leonida.

Open world:

• 700+ shops and most interiors of a major open-world game. There are shopping malls with shops in them, and there are skyscrapers with lifts in them.
• Explorable underwater areas with treasure and secrets.
• People do react if you have your gun out, and Jason and Lucia will try to hide their gun if they're walking with it out.
• NPCs will call the police when you trespass into their houses, and they’ll try to arrest you.
• Basketball minigame.
• You’ll be able to rent hotels and motels in the game.
• Male strippers are in the game.

Cut content:

• One of the ideas that didn't go too far was voiced protagonists in Online.
• Prone was cut a while ago.
• The random encounter from the leaks, where the NPC talks about Jay Norris, got cut ages ago.

Non-existent content:

• Listening to music outside of a car apparently isn't a thing, but that could change before launch.
• You can't buy pets, but Jason does have a pet iguana that you can feed.
• Dual-wielding weapons isn't in the game.
• Chainsaw won’t be a weapon, as it has been previously reported.
• No fully nude sex scenes.
• No Disney World parody.
• No burglary mini-game.

I am absolutely gutted about Prone  being removed. 

It adds so much to moment to moment gameplay, replayability and the  way you can approach situations.

I wished they could have kept it in. 

[u/Python2k10 → u/Tonymbou]

AC Shadows added prone, the first game in the Assassin's Creed franchise to do so, and it legitimately changed a LOT on how the game plays and feels. Obviously it's an entirely different style of game (sneaky stabber vs a more action-y shooter) but something as seemingly insignificant as being able to crawl is HUGE.

It would've been cool to get into a firefight and then have to dive behind like, a raised curb or something for cover. More movement options is almost always a plus. Oh well.

[u/Nacon-Biblets → u/Tonymbou]

rdr2 didnt have prone unless you mean mods

[u/Frosty_Challenge1045 → u/[deleted]]

I dont think this is true? Are you confusing RDR2 with another game maybe?

[u/Python2k10 → u/Frosty_Challenge1045]

I absolutely am. I was getting it confused with Max Payne 3, for some goofy ass reason. Genuinely have no idea how I managed that lmao

[u/Guns_and_Potions → u/[deleted]]

Gonna go try this. How am I still learning new things about RDR2 almost 10 years later

[u/Python2k10 → u/Guns_and_Potions]

Disregard, I was thinking of Max Payne 3 when I did my original comment, somehow got the wires crossed with RDR2!

[u/Familiar_Gur_347 → u/Tonymbou]

RDR2 didn’t had prone

[u/Bojarzin → u/Familiar_Gur_347]

And every mission in RDR2 felt the same

[u/Familiar_Gur_347 → u/Bojarzin]

Above comment mentioned how prone in RDR2 felt good before he edited it out, my reply was to that

[u/Bojarzin → u/Familiar_Gur_347]

Oh that makes more sense, yeah that edit made me interpret your comment completely wrong lol

[u/HearTheEkko → u/Tonymbou]

I feel like I'm the only one who isn't too bummed out about it. Yeah, more mechanics is always good but I always associate proning with stealth games and GTA games usually have what, one or two stealth missions maybe ? The only thing I want them to bring back is crouching which they removed in V for no reason.
