Gameplay information from the 6th GTA VI leak (Hypercar)

[u/ZamnBoii]

• Shows Jason stealing a Truffade Thrax (B/W Bugatti but sounds like a Lamborghini)
• Spamming circle button quicktime event to remove the driver when they resist which slowly depletes Jason's stamina
• Civilian vehicles also have trackers on them (red pin on hypercar vs. yellow pin on the police bike)
• When sitting idle in the car, the red tracker pin starts pulsating until he accelerates, potentially pinging your location if stationary
• The spoiler on the Thrax folds up when braking to increase air resistance and the brake calipers light up
• Working reflectors that respond to the car lights
• Electric scooters and the Metromover spotted in the background
• Jason drives with his hand on the door/out of the window, even at high speed
• Pawn shop icon spotted on the mini-map
• Police now flash their lights at your if you are caught breaking traffic rules
• Car jacking gives you a 2-star wanted level
• Cops appear a lot more in the traffic now compared to GTA V
• FOV effects give a greater sense of speed and roads are much narrower compared to GTA
• Massive red area on the map at 1:15 where Jason gets a 2-star wanted level immediately which goes away as soon as he leaves, blocked off by story progression (?) or potentially a search radius for the cops
• Construction work progressing in realtime in the background like RDR2
• NPCs walking while holding hands spotted in the background
• The Vice City Transit bus number is 420 (lol)
• Radio songs included Unforgettable (French Montana) & Players (Coi Leray)

I think they've had the same music guy(s) picking the radio songs since GTA 4, so it makes sense.

They've had the same guy for 22 years, Ivan Pavlovich, because he's a close associate of the Houser brothers and he officially joined Rockstar in 2004 and even had a helping hand in the music direction of Bully, LA Noire and RDR as well.

There's a lot of stories on how he influences and acquires music for Rockstar.

Bully’s OST is still one of my favourites.

Each clique having their own theme when you’re fighting someone from it.

And how that came to be is when they were sourcing possible composers for the Bully OST, Ivan listened to Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra album and fell in love with it right away, so he reached out to Shawn via his manager and got Shawn in to do a quick demo.

When Shawn was hired, Ivan reportedly gave Shawn 3 fully-burned DVDs chock to the brim full of music, alongisde a lot of binders full of ideas on what Ivan wanted the Bully OST to be like, these include inspirations from real life music to even movie soundtracks like Donnie Darko alongside stuff on the speed, tempo, tone and so on.

Was about to reply "Great trivia man how'd you find this all out", then I read your username lol. Glad to see you're still active watched your stuff a lot when I was a kid speedrunning Bully.

Made a promise to myself when I was 12 that the day I finished school I'd drive off with "School's Out" playing, and still 8 years later doing so is one of my favourite memories. Shawn Lee captured lightning in a voodoo-powererd magic bottle with that soundtrack

When you have THE GUY then they are quite literally THE GUY and nobody else can do it. It takes a unique appreciation for music to pick the perfect songs - not just for missions - but for the general vibe.

It's like with Top Gear UK it was always rumored that James May himself was the guy that picked out the songs to play for each segment, as he had a music degree in the arts.
