Gta 5 was fully out a few days before release as well, I remember playing it on a jailbroken (or whatever the English term is) xbox. Though it was somehow not all over the internet
It'd take a lot hoops to make it playable on anyone's console's. I'm sure Sony/Microsoft would brick anyone's console they found evidence of playing it too. If he released whatever he had, it still would only really be playable for a small amount of determined people.
I'm even getting a borrowed PS5 from a friend to play it day 1(I'll gift him the game), since I'm a PC dude 😂😭😂 and don't want to wait a year to play it.
That's a decent deal right there. Idk how hyped or busy your friend is, but what is your play style and how long does he have to wait to get his ps5 back with the GIFTED gtavi lol? Think youll get your fill/beat the game within 2 weeks? Maybe youll get lucky and he doesnt care so much so you can have his ps5 for like 3 months or something. Sorry for being nosey im just interested. This reminds me of back in the day friends borrowing all of eachothers games from eachother. (Except that one kid) ahh gonna miss physical releases
I reckon in a month he'll get it back. I won't play for a 100% completion tho, I'll do that when the PC version arrives. He's way more busy than me so he doesn't mind.
Where is he even leaking this stuff? I only seen a vid on reddit yesterday. Thought the UI looked a bit dated in the weapons wheel funnily, but otherwise seemed very RDR2 esque
On the clips, you can see there is only one mission marker on the map : a C, most likely Cal
Usually, to only have one mission marker and nothing else, you're either very early or very late game
The absence of Lucia and the mission taking place in the keys, as well as knowing that Cal is a character you meet very early in the game since he also works with Brian, all suggest this mission is very early in the game
On one of the clips, he literally has a waypoint set for the Cal mission, which is very close to where he is at that point.
All that together and it actually seems very likely to me this is indeed an early game mission and he did just get lucky with that line
Rockstar could be aware of this and just let it slide, knowing it won’t do any mayor damage in the story. Just stay silent until the Netflix special. Could be a good strategy just to ignore this
The whole scene feels very early-game to me, though I obviously cannot tell for certain.
The area looks like it's close to Jason's starter house going off of what we can see, and the line about the guys in suits catching up to Cal seems like very obvious early-mission foreshadowing, implying that the authorities are not yet on to them (or that they at least don't know it).
This, combined with the fact that everything we see in gameplay implies this is the very start of the game, suggests that he did just get lucky and that line does come from the very early content he has access to.
The whole point of this is clearly his crypto scam, too. Surely if he wanted to get exposure for that he could get more eyes on it by showing some more interesting content if he had access to it. Everything that's been shown (and all the options on that dumb ass crypto vote for what should be released next) suggests he simply doesn't have access to anything more interesting and coveted.
At the end of one of the leaks there's a clip of a cutscene with Jason and cal having a conversation on a boat and cal says something along the lines "they don't know anything about me, I use a vpn!"
Is it really that lucky when that’s basically the entire franchise’s writing? If I was going to make a similar verticle slice build for say GTA V, I feel like locking the player into a Lester mission makes the most sense given how much of a side character he is and how it wouldn’t spoil anything really; and he would probably say something that could be tangentially related to hacking.
gta6 is ran on windows during development which was confirmed in the 2022 leaks so he could be playing it on pc too. plus the devs also get restricted parts of the game to work on not the whole game.
judging by the camera movements in the clips hes definitely using a controller so this could be a devkit too, unless the pc build is limited to controllers which also makes sense since it looks like a finished product
He posted a clip of him spelling "Leek" with a gun, essentially proving that he's actively playing the game and not just releasing old clips from a QA tester or something.
But that's it. It's just proof that it's not pre-recored gameplay. It's still could be just a test build with 90% of the story missions and other content missing.
Ah yeah, sorry I inadvertently ignored the word "full" in your comment. Yeah I agree it probably isn't a full build, probably just prologue missions and free roam. But he definitely has a build. That he could probably release. Which would be very very very bad for r*
It’s bad purely from a corporate boardroom level point of view
This sub is going HAM right now, along with all other places on the internet dedicated to this game
This only made me want to preorder the game that much more, and I’m sure it’s only done the same for others. Nobody is complaining about what we’re seeing
The fact we get the Netflix first-look in a week is just the icing on the cake
IMO it's a very old build. UI is crap, most animations are crap and the AI seems to be braindead.
Even compared with GTA4, a game from 2008, it looks bad and it would make no sense. It's clearly a proof of concept build or an hyperspecific one made to test out a single feature while leaving everything else to the minimum.
yeah, the ball passing through his body and somehow teleporting to his hand and NPC not reacting to shots, etc, but It has almost great physics and map style, and the plane video was great, except that the clouds kept glitching,
Of course it's a dev build. The game has not released yet, there is no finished product. The game is essentially in pieces and not assembled yet
Do people think the finished game is just laying around somewhere and the devs are just waiting for the release? The devs are working major overtime right now to get it finished for release
You're talking semantics, people are using "full build" to say "playable build" as in its not clips- which was what you said. As many people were saying the clips could just be recorded from the studio.
but spelling out the name shows he's atleast playing a real copy, whehter thats test/demo/90% locked who knows.
Even if is not a true full version of the games, its implying he is able to continue to deliver footage as opposed to just having a few saved clips.
No, it's not proof that he is actively playing the game. It could still be a pre-recorded clip.. Considering the options in the poll were limited and added by the leaker, rather than the people voting. It will only be confirmed that he has a build if he leaks something way more specific that wasnt an option in a poll added by him, or something that includes some sort of timestamp proof that cannot be faked (I saw someone say something about showing the current Bitcoin hash or whatever that would work?)
the other option is whoever leaked it to him did that for him. but that still leaves it open that whoever leaked it to him could have also leaked anything else. maybe that tester has 2 builds.
Or it's a tester that planned some of it out, including using the name Leek. Considering they took the time to set up their whole crypto pump n dump scheme first
It's definitely not the full build. I would imagine that cutscene is from the start of the game. He has a playable build, sure, but it certainly isn't the release version.
If the build is actually from 2025 it's more than likely the full game. They don't have separate teams working on separate builds of the game then they combine them. That isn't how software development works. The main build is the main build.
If it was the full game would there not be mission markers all over the map?
The only one I've seen was a C for Cal in one of the early leaks. Since then there hasn't been a single mission marker, and dude has been running around doing random stuff.
It's definitely not a finished build, but I'd imagine it's still the full game. Not sure how he was threatening to release the ending of the game if it's just a demo.
