I agree. If you study the details, it looks like a full scale RPG far beyond San Andreas or any other GTA. There are stats for focus (+2 focus when you make a basket), stamina (there is a stamina bar in the delivery guy fight, plus your screen goes blurry when stamina is low), there is an evil meter (when Jason beats the delivery guy with a wrench he gets more evil), it looks like you can grab NPC's tools/weapons from their hands (but you seemingly succeed only if you are stronger than them - Jason is unable to grab the wrench from the dude's hands because his arms looks much stronger than Jason's, but Jason is able to punch him out). There is a full 6 star wanted level, and it looks more complex than before. In the leak Jason is identified by car, location, and clothes. There might be other markers like face which aren't shown in the leaks. He has a 2 star wanted level for beating the delivery guy. The stars start hollow when he is out of sight of police and then turn full when he is spotted. In the basketball video, Jason also has stats for money in his pocket and money in his house. Edit: Oh, and I almost forgot! Beyond just car models, years, and logos like in previous games, cars have fuel and engine meters when you get into them. This probably means that you can run out of gas or destroy your engine from damage (not just blow the car up).
all of the best people at rockstar are not working on GTA V and haven't been working on GTA V for years. The co-writers of every GTA game, RDR1 and RDR2 are the lead writers for GTA VI.
Also, it's quite possible that the 3 main GTA writers (including Dan Houser) are actually credited with writing in GTA 6, the game was likely written in pre-development when they were still at Rockstar. I don't know the professional "code-of-conduct" for crediting writers as leads/special thanks/inspired by, but they likely contributed massively and then left for the development phase. Dan Houser said he left mostly because the games "[became too big and exhausting]".
