EDIT:
Turns out the screenshots were faked, those posts were never made on 4chan
Mods please close this




Some guy leaked a bunch of stuff on 4chan about RDR2 in 2016 and of course no one believed him back then. Turns out every detail was true. He also dropped a couple of details about GTA 6:

-Pre production started in 2014
-Main city is vice city, but set in Florida + Cuba
-Not 80s
-2 protagonists (male + female)
-Male protag is mexican and smuggles drugs, female is your main contact in the states
-More mature story, similar tone of RDR2 and not as satirical as GTA5
-Regular production (asset creation) started in 2016 at the time of leak
-Lots of internal disagreement about direction of the game

You can find all the 4chan screenshots including all the RDR2 leaks that all turned out to be true and are very detailed here (he even hints at the Guarma chapter):

More serious direction....Please no.

I like campy over the top GTA with a nice dose of satire.

I love RDR2 but I don't need a GTA game depressing me.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Sounds believable enough though.

 

[Elginer]

Correct. GTA needs to be fun and at times silly and please do not infuse politics into this.

 

[YCoCg]

Oh it's this leak again.

 

[killatopak]

Probably two more years until it gets released.

No way is the development for GTA 6 just took 6 years when RDR2 took 8.

 

[rob305]

Oh it's this leak again.

Pretty sure this was just dug up now since this is originally from 2016. Look at the things the leaker revealed about RDR2 in 2016, he got everything right

 

[Dacon]

Correct. GTA needs to be fun and at times silly and please do not infuse politics into this.

GTA's always had politics in it, they're usually there to be made fun of though. Which is how I like it.

I’d take whatever they gave me. I can’t see anything released until 2023 at the absolute earliest given GTA 5 comes out again in November

 

[THEAP99]

So it will probably release in like 3 years. Seems interesting it's rockstar so it'll be quality

 

[Deleted member 471617]

That sounds great to me. Hoping it's true.

 

[Craig of War]

Ehh i want a whole new location unreleated to any other GTA game before how bout GTA Dubai lol

 

[IntentionalPun]

Meh, but be multiple protag thing sucks.

I want to have a character I build up on and be a kingpin like VC/SA.

 

[Dacon]

I like the multiple protagonists but I'd appreciate it if they did it a little more creatively.

Like if you simultaneously played the main antagonist and the main hero, and were actively opposing each other.

yup

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Yeah, a serious GTA would be hugely disappointing

that’s just not what the series is or should be

 

[Ezquimacore]

yeah but GTA V was too stupid to be honest, previous games were satirical but had some seriousness.

 

[Inviusx]

Until they reveal the game, every leak is both true and false at the same time.

 

[Dacon]

yeah but GTA V was too stupid to be honest, previous games were satirical but had some seriousness.

Outside of Trevor GTAV wasn't that over the top. Michael and Franklin's stories were pretty subdued in comparison.

the first mission I did with michael he was smoking a blunt and killing aliens, the next mission I was chasing a boat because his son sold the boat for no reason. Gta v was too comical compared to previous games.

 

[Enjay]

if it gets as serious as GTA IV's story.

 

[V1LÆM]

i don't care what it is. i just want them to move on from GTA V. i know as soon as GTA VI comes out they'll go back to milking GTA Online but it's time for a new game, with an updated engine, and in a new location with new characters.

 

[dorkimoe]

Last one sucked. No more multiple characters!

 

[Myths]

Same old drivel of hype that caters to the indulgent theory of a return to Vice City. Fans have been suspecting this for years…

 

[Boss Mog]

I'd be extremely disappointed if true. If they want to make a serious game they should just launch a new IP; GTA has always been about mocking Americana. My guess is that they're scared of being "cancelled" depending who and what they mock because of the current political climate. Much like Family Guy and South Park, I think they're above it and nobody would care even if a few degenerates bitched on twitter.

 

[Yoboman]

A GTA without satire sounds terrible

 

[custardbun01]

Correct. GTA needs to be fun and at times silly and please do not infuse politics into this.

Agree with everything but not infusing politics. GTA games are best when they roast politicians. The radio talk shows with the election candidates in GTAIV, Weasel News and other shows etc. in GTAIV, San Andreas and Vice City were so good.

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

I'd kind of be okay with the even numbered GTA games being more serious(4, 6, etc) and the odd numbered games being goofier(3,5, etc).

Or maybe they're saving the satire and goofy stuff for the multiplayer campaign genius move if so.

 

[teezzy]

More serious direction....Please no.

I like campy over the top GTA with a nice dose of satire.

I'm not entirely sure they could even do GTA the way they used to in today's climate

This may be their best option

 

[JerryinSoCal]

I hope they don't chicken out and think they have to be 100% PC all the time, GTAV really wasn't over the top in any real way it was just Trevor was insane.

 

[Shubh_C63]

I am all in for a more serious GTA, because I felt nothing after completing GTAV story mode, there were only a few memorable missions.
They obviously need to look this up.

 

[Stuart360]

Same old drivel of hype that caters to the indulgent theory of a return to Vice City. Fans have been suspecting this for years…

Well its not really that hard to believe. We already went back to Liberty City in GTA4, and San Andreas in GTA5 (well part of SA anyway).

 

[hemo memo]

Nah people will always look for stupid things to be offended about. Just do your best and whatever controversy will add to the game exposure so win-win for Rockstar.

 

[MakarelBoi]

So basically it gonna be more like GTA IV serious tone. That fine with me to be honest. I kind of dislike GTA V wacky crap as it try so hard to be like Saints Row.

 

[Dacon]

I mean every GTA to my memory has been mired in controversy.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Linear mission design vs sandbox mission design?

 

[rofif]

More serious direction....Please no.

I like campy over the top GTA with a nice dose of satire.

I love RDR2 but I don't need a GTA game depressing me.

Please yes. Gta 4 was a great mix of serious and satire. 5 was unfocused and plain idiotic with their satire

 

[Silent Viper]

Wait i can't female character in cuba? Booo

 

[namekuseijin]

after 150 millions of copies sold solely for GTA Online, do you think they still give a crap to story?

I think GTA 6 - aka Online 2.0 - will come with blocky minicrap graphics to better please current audiences

 

[Klik]

I really hope for a better car physics and car destruction, so more like GTA 4 than GTA 5.

 

[AV]

Sharp reminder that Dan Houser and Lazlow are both gone. 6 will be the beginning of the end for Rockstar narratives - while it continues to print money anyway.

 

[GuinGuin]

Dumb if true. There are so few Mexicans in southeast Florida. Why not just make him Cuban?

 

[Flutta]

A serious GTA story with a mexican protag?

So basically Narcos in playable form.
interesting.

 

[Shubh_C63]

I did not knew this and then googled them.
I guess now am on backfoot regarding my blind faith of "no questions asked per excellent Rockstar games legacy".

 

[CherryFalls]

Just remake Vice city instead and save us all the time.

Was really hoping for a modern take with a Trevor like character. We need some GTA fun in these days

 

[Woggleman]

I would take serious over whatever the hell GTA V was plus RDR2 had plenty of funny moments. The Lenny drinking mission was funnier than the whole of GTA V.

 

[Banjo64]

>More mature story, similar tone of RDR2 and not as satirical as GTA5

RS have lost their balls then? Couldn’t possible ridicule the screeching brigade in 2021.

 

[Putonahappyface]

"More mature story, similar tone of RDR2 and not as satirical as GTA5".

 

[Shut0wen]

Please yes. Gta 4 was a great mix of serious and satire. 5 was unfocused and plain idiotic with their satire

Yeah i agree with 5, it tried to hard to be Tarantino but way more over the top, especially since the game starts off so good and after your trevor traveling to san andreas it just goes downhill from there, gta4 was lrobs my fav in terms of story but cant finish it for how shit the gameplay is
