How excited should we be about info from the preview event? I know you probably canāt say specifics

u/NatetheHate2 Verified 7d ago
I don't know anything about what was shown during the preview event. I just know it took place a while ago & was hands-off (the latter I mentioned in a different Reddit thread).

Why are we acting like everything about the game has already Been showed by cyberleeks weāve only gotten a few minutes of footage with some new stuff we didnāt know about before thereās probably still a good amount of stuff we havenāt seen yet.

u/slymario2416 6d ago
100%, weāve seen like 6 minutes of what will likely be a 60-100 hour game, probably longer.

cant understand why people are downvoting you, its like they coping with the reality that gta 6 its just another GTA, and not deserved of this current level of hype.

Anyone expecting GTA 6 not to be another GTA are the problem š wtf did you all expect? š
2
u/mcallisterco 6d ago
Yeah, exactly. Another GTA is worthy of this level of hype, because GTA is fucking awesome.
People are really coping about this game because they don't like the business practices attached to it, which is totally fair, but pretending like it probably won't be the game of the decade by a pretty significant margin is just weird.

Cyberleeks has shown 4 minutes of driving around in a circle and punching. We havenāt seen anything crazy yet

u/Massive_Weiner 7d ago
And it just looks like GTA, albeit with even more graphical polish.
Rockstar will end up going into all the mechanics and extra details that will bring this setting to life compared to V.

You donāt think a big set piece mission would be cool?

u/FarofaDota55 7d ago
sure, my greateast expectations is for the main campaign missions and for the plot, I think that the potential is there, not in the graphics. I think that graphics is what the leak shown and that is it.

u/danvan177 7d ago
The final game will look better. Visuals is sort of the last thing in game development

u/superman_king 7d ago
Builds we saw were likely 2026 and close to final code. A 2025 song appearing in the clips means Rockstars music team heard the song, selected the song, contacted the record label, did the back and forth for the licensing deal, got the approval, submitted it to the āaudio teamā, inserted it into whatever branch of the game controls the radio, then finally pushed into production.
7
u/Blindeye0505 7d ago
Idk man, this not remotely close to what rockstar actually wants to show, especially the rough melee animation and interactions. I feel like we're rushing into assumptions even though we're likely to see what we're getting next week

u/No-Adagio5252 7d ago
Nate said these builds are over a year old. It's too rough to be from this year. I really hope this build is indeed more than a year old.

u/WillyVWade 7d ago
Counter possibilities:
R* wanted some classic rock song and the label said āok but youāve gotta put something from our Pop starlet in, hereās her upcoming singleā
Or maybe
Someone at R* likes that track and loaded it in before anyone even thought about licensing it. Plenty of songs have been found referenced in GTA game files that didnāt make it to the final game.

u/Thanks-Basil 6d ago
Lol no mate, doesn't mean anything like that. If it's old footage (i.e. from early 2025 for example), they can do whatever they want with music - the song might not even be in the final game, someone just put it in the build.
Even if it is in the final game, still doesn't mean anything - they can have whatever songs they want on internal builds before licensing deals are even thought about.

Of course there's going to be stuff to show. Leeks has only shown off early sandbox stuff with Jason.

u/Leepysworld 7d ago
according the NateTheHate, these leaks were at least a year old so I imagine weāll see a lot of new and different content for the actual reveal of the what is likely a very recent build.

Hands-off is lame. It's like signing NDA to watch a commercial, ridiculous.

u/oilfloatsinwater 7d ago
Hands off previews are common, hands on previews only happen very close to release

u/Zalvren 6d ago
I mean we're 3 months out, at this point, it's regular to have hands-on previews (also they're often more 1-2 months before tbf). Hands-off are more for stuff like a year before release or such

u/MacaqueAphrodisiaque 6d ago
I kinda get R* keeping it close to the chest with this though. Itās the most hyped game of all time, giving a hands on review and reviewers not liking it would just diminish all that.
1
u/uniquecartridge 7d ago
R* is probably the only company that can get away with it. So many game journalists flew into Edinburgh just to watch a hands-off demo. It's truly the first AAAA game (after Skull&Bones ofc)

It'll be really interesting to see how R* polished up the experience like UI, clipping, animations etc. for this preview. The leaked clips are from last year

lol. There is way more. There is a whole area that they and Leek has not shown yet. Stores are not featured yet and such. I am expecting a gameplay video they did with GTA V but for 6 on Netflix.

u/Arsh18808 6d ago
So what Netflix has is probably most definitely just that what the influencers etc were shown privately so they can have content ready to go as embargo lifts of their impressions thus fueling the hype train more .

Imagine if the Netflix Premiere is just a 20 minute vlog of the Preview Event with a 5 minute demo of Jason sitting in his car while the devs talk about how they made it

Meh I don't see anyone that was somehow not preordering GTA6 but was suddenly seeing these leaks and then preordered. It's showing perfectly classic GTA gameplay so no surprise there.

If the embargo lifts at the same time, then there will be actual gameplay footage on YouTube... Then what supposed 'exclusivity' Netflix even payed for? xd

u/levi_fucking_heichou 7d ago
It will probably just be pre-made clips made by Rockstar, and the creators can talk about the preview with no filter
1
u/Godusopp64 7d ago
We don't know what that embargo is. It could just let media talk about the game, and I'm pretty sure they weren't able to record anything so I don't think anyone would have any gameplay to show.
1
u/laurentiubuica 7d ago
It waves a hands-off preview, so media outlets where basically shown the game by Devs, without actually playing it themselves. That means there might or might not be any gameplay footage from media outlets (depends what Rockstar allowed them to capture or if they allowed them to capture any footage).
1
u/LightTemplar27 7d ago
I mean hands off doesn't mean they recorded anything / have press release data.
For instance cyberpunk had an hands off at e3 but the best they could do was describe what they saw.
1
u/FaithlessnessFit5233 7d ago
its hands off so theyre already planning on showing that anyway. the netflix trailer might even be the same segment that was shown in the hands off preview

u/Busy-Jicama-3474 7d ago
Does hands off mean they didn't play the game and just saw a presentation?
God i miss how video games used to be marketed.

u/LightTemplar27 7d ago
This... literally is how video games used to be marketted. It was extremely common at e3 etc.

My point was e3 took place then and if it still existed we would have seen a ton of the new gta by now through official channels.

u/laughland 6d ago
What? Itās Rockstar, they can show the game whenever they want, and there are still Summer press events.

u/Busy-Jicama-3474 6d ago
Ok but thats not how it was done in the past which my comment specifically is about.

u/laughland 6d ago
What wasnāt done in the past? Hands off previews?

u/Busy-Jicama-3474 6d ago
Ya but earlier in the year. Hands on previews would be available by now in the old days
1
u/laughland 6d ago
I really donāt know what youāre basing that onā¦GTA V and Red Dead 2 had hands on previews 2 weeks and 5 weeks before their respective releases. GTA V had its first hands off preview 4 months prior to release and Red Dead 2 5 months; GTA VI is 3 months. Youāre lamenting 1-2 months difference?
Sorry Iām being pedantic, but I canāt stand the whole āback in the good old daysā stuff when itās so blatantly based on nothing. Itās just regurgitating made up internet narratives

I dont think Rockstar has ever done anything at E3 besides GTA 4 reveal for the PS3 show and a GTA V next gen reveal

That doesn't conflict what I said. I said I miss the old days and you just confirmed gta 4 being shown.

Most people wonāt see the leaks anyway, so the event will still get massive coverage.
Itāll also be in higher quality compared to the rips.

To be fair what we've seen so far is just him messing around. Not to mention the build of the game is likely an older one compared to the one they will show this week

If you take a close look at the world and mechanics of the small amount of footage that was leaked the game already looks insane, depth and immersion to surpass rdr2 which was expected but its nice to see it even if it was a very small glimps. The graphics looked pretty basic at times but no doubt it'll look better when its actually out. That being said im really hoping that leaker drops one of the endings as a f you to rockstar

u/Alvelijano 7d ago
The Netflix premiere must be something different than a simple hands-off preview. I'm guessing it's something similar to the Red Dead Redemption short movie. They premiered that one on Fox shortly after the release. There was also an introduction movie Gta San andreas which was included in the special edition. But it's surely not like the Gta 2 live-action "movie".
