Yes this is not good news. Rockstar will likely have to rewrite most of the code leading to a delay.

Bobertt1215d ago

The game basically looked like just GTA 5 with different graphics. I saw no improvements to AI, shooting, driving, missions, etc. To me it looks like just another cash grab at this point. So a delay to actually make a next gen GTA wouldn't be the worst thing.

Jin_Sakai1215d ago

@Bobertt

You can’t judge the footage this early in development. This is very early code.

Epicor1215d ago

What? Why would they need to do that? Of course this leak is horrible for R* but this shouldn't cause any delays. Or am I missing something here?

1nsomniac1215d ago

Yea the notion that they’d have to rewrite all their code because someone had seen it is a little bizarre. I don’t know why you would think that.

PapaBop1215d ago

How can it be delayed when there is next to no official information regarding the project? You can't delay what isn't announced.

crazyCoconuts1215d ago

@jin that doesn't make any sense

TheKingKratos1215d ago

Why ??

That is very early code .... It will be missing tons and tons of work in gameplay,AI, Graphics,story, voice acting,music etc etc etc that was done while the game in development

They need to do nothing but keep working on their project

Palitera1215d ago

10k lines of code is NOTHING in a project of this size.
FFS, our tiny game's Player script alone has 1k+ lines and it barely touches his main behaviours.

Apparently, because they milked GTA 5, and online(even though gamers continued buying their content) and were silent on their next release, some believe they deserve to be hacked because they're weren't open about their next release. That it's Rockstar's fault. As if Rockstar is on gamer time and not on internal developer time. "Not more open" without believing that gamers should be more **patient**, is some serious entitlement of thinking you need to know when you want to. And not when a company thinks it's time and they are ready.

By this thinking, any company that is milking a product or are silent on their next release, need to be hacked. That's not right. It would mean Naughty Dog, for re-releases of TLofU and not telling gamers on their next project, deserve hacking.

Yeah. It sucks having to wait for information to come out. But no company deserves to be hacked that isn't doing anything criminal. And is only working hard behind the scenes silently with their next project.

monkey6021215d ago

I just can not understand the hacker or the sympathisers' line of thought at all!

Owlbert1215d ago (Edited 1215d ago )

It's called extortion... Take two can teach you all about it, with their shark cards✌️

FIELDMARSHALL_P1215d ago

The internet has caused it lol I remember being a kid waiting on games to come out because I heard about it in the latest issue of Nintendo power. WE HAD TO WAIT patiently, we couldn't go to a forum and complain and cry it just was what it was and we survived. People need to get out of the info now mode all the time. Let shit age like fine wine then we will get the quality stuff we demand. Keep being pushy, hacking, complaining, and we get buggy crap and delays.

randomvoice1215d ago

Exactly this! Also, why do people forget that they built RDR2 in the middle which itself was a masterpiece and took over 4-5 years. It isn't like Rockstar has been sitting on their asses doing nothing. Yeah they could be quicker in delivering games but the scale they pick which gets bigger every game means it takes time and effort.

Mothman19841215d ago (Edited 1215d ago )

ApocalypseShadow@ Every company is doing "something" illegal. You just need to dig deep enough. Not a good argument, not good at all. Because everybody has a criminal under the skin.

ApocalypseShadow1215d ago (Edited 1215d ago )

You go and chase phantoms if you want. Prove to me Rockstar is doing illegal activities? Present your facts. I don't need your wild speculation.

The company doesn't deserve to be hacked. You can deflect all day while saying absolutely nothing. Keeping silent until they are ready isn't illegal. Not giving gamers new information isn't illegal.

Sony has resold Spider-Man more than once. They have not shown gameplay of Spider-Man 2. Does that mean they deserve to be hacked? No.

Come back when you really got something. Right now, you have nothing.

If you want to share the code make a torrent and there you go. No worries at all, it will not be taken down by shit bags Take Two they are helpless if you share it this way. 😁

Shiore2u1215d ago

@ disagrees
I don't get how anyone can sympathize with Take-Two or Rockstar given their egregious history. They treat their employees like disposable sweatshop workers and their customers like morons. They deserve this and worse.

IRetrouk1215d ago

Do the devs who worked on it deserve it too?

Shiore2u1215d ago (Edited 1215d ago )

@IRetrouk
Wouldn't be surprised if it's an overworked developer not allowed to leave the office to spend time with his/her family under a career ultimatum from a superior that ended up doing it. Rockstar San Diego's toxic management and work crunch during RDR's development had plenty such examples.

NotoriousWhiz1215d ago

^ I'm not sure that would make the developer's career any easier. I suspect it would make it a lot harder. And then to also do that to own their team would be awful.

IRetrouk1214d ago

It wasn't an employee, the team of devs who have worked hard on this do not deserve this at all, no excuse.

Some good games on this list.

"This build felt close to final for a couple of reasons. First, the optimization was excellent. The game was running at a smooth 60 frames per second, and it was doing it on a base PlayStation 5."

At first I though he had mistaken because of the first picture in the article showing a Pro... but if you scroll down you can see that they had a setup for both the base PS5 and a PRO. So, good news then. The game is running on UE5 so it should be a great test for PSSR2.

GTA 6 Could Evolve Into an MMORPG as Many of Its Features Belong to the Genre, Developer Has Heard

Speaking to Wccftech, industry veteran Rich Vogel revealed to have heard that many of GTA 6's planned features are typical of MMORPGs.

I wouldn't MP as long as they don't abandon the main game.

Eonjay26d ago

I wouldn't worry. Its a complete non statement to say that 'a developer' has heard that GTA 6 has a lot of features shared by MMORPG genre. And therefore could later evolve into one. Complete and utter speculation.

dmonee27d ago

That would be a colossal error on their part. They will and should keep the online component separate.

franwex27d ago

Probably like previous Rockstar games. There’s the single player and there’s the online.

lukasmain27d ago

Don't force people to have to interact, or even be in the same world (server) as other people.
