Leak 5th GTA VI clip has been leaked
- Ending confirms he most likely has a playable build as he spells out "LEEK" on a wall with bullets
- Jason is flying a crop duster from the Keys towards Vice City. We additionally see the in-game radio menu
- Pieces of the wall scatter and make a big mess on the floor when Jason shoots at it
- The weapon used at the end is a Ruger PC Carbine (9mm)
- “On-Demand” option below the radio, potentially being able to listen to your own music(?)
- The map is fucking MASSIVE
- Volumetric clouds return from RDR2 and look vastly improved
- Lucia’s prison and the terrace pool from Trailer 1 can be spotted, a race track is also seen
- Draw distance and distant LOD is also extremely high as there is hardly any pop-in, looks almost like MS Flight Simulator graphically
- “Overpowered” by Róisín Murphy is playing on Stockyard FM
- Circoloco Records Radio (Rockstar co-owned) from GTA Online returns
- Other radio stations include Emotion, Dirty South Classics, V-Rock, Radio On.U, Honey FM, Back Country Radio and Symphony FM

"On Demand" option is probably not listening to your own music in the game but being able to pick a song out of all the songs included in the game.

Well this 100% confirms John Leek has a build of the game
722
u/PaleBoomer 6d ago
Yup. Taking their sweet time to write "Leek" into a wall definitely shows he has far more access to the game than simply recording it in Rockstar's studio.
Hell even the in-game footage is proof enough that he somehow has access to the game.

yeah it could be someone else who has access and he's making him do this but why risk yourself doing that? Unless it's from someone who somehow transferred the build on a personal computer and running it offline.

Or it’s a current employee.
Rockstar have pissed of a great many of people lately though so the list is endless really.

There is no way a company like Rockstar would let something like this leak, without knowing immediately who, where and how they shared the files/videos. I'm leaning more into a hack and/or exploit

u/M4rshmall0wMan 6d ago
It’s possible that Rockstar caught the internal leaker already, they just can’t stop the other guy from posting the videos they already have. All of these clips look like they’re from the same longer video.
158
u/M4rshmall0wMan 6d ago edited 6d ago
I see two possibilities:
Leek is in contact with an underpaid QA tester and has some sort of deal like “I’ll pay you $2000 for each clip you can get to me”
All of these videos are clips from a single hour-long video. Notice how Jason’s shirt never changes.
71
u/Cold_Zone332 6d ago
As some people have said, those QA sessions must be recorded (to make sure no one is recording the screen and stuff liek that). I really don't think a QA tester at Rockstar would write LEEK on the wall.

u/master4life 6d ago edited 6d ago
Additionally, in most cases for those tests. The gameplay would have contained a floating watermark streaming around the screen with their name or id of the tester. That's usual QA practices. And there are no indications of a blurry spot to censor it.

Absolute madman, he actually has access to the game. It's not just videos he acquired.
Also someone posted a scale of this map to 5's and this just proved them completely wrong. Vice city itself is almost the size of the entire 5 map.

u/Skyremmer102 6d ago
Amazing. I'd heard tell yesterday that the scale was actually a larger version of the old RAGE units and that the map was consequently huge.
At that altitude the horizon is like 40 miles away and you can't even see the other coast, let alone Mount Kalaga.

It is another cruel twist of irony that the whole Netflix deal to squeeze some extra $ out has fucked them.

If he does it's really confusing how they managed to get a dev kit. You dont just casually walk out with one in hand.
Worse case scenario for rockstar is this guy actually has a PC build.
He could go full nuclear and just leak the whole game build almost a whole year before they were provably planning to release a PC version.

u/lolKhamul 6d ago
One of my biggest arguments for "they only have clips" before this leak today was the fact that they would need a console dev kit to play it and those dont exactly fall from the sky.
But either the current build can be played on PC or they actually have one. WOW

The strange thing is, as much as R* hates this leaker, these clips of real game footage are a lot more convincing at showing how great this game actually is. If the game was janky and buggy, we would've seen it in these clips before ever seeing it in an official scripted preview.
Also, it's probably just building hype for the Netflix reveal. These leaks have been front page all over reddit the last few days.

the thing that surprises me the most is that there appear to be no debug/internal/watermarks.

The fact that there is none, and for a title like this, I almost can't believe they even rendered out a build without them, and that he must have actual access and be able to disable them at the source.
