You can also see they used a 2080ti graphics card.

Of course but i don't go into threads i don't care about asking if i'm the only one who doesn't care.

If you're not interested why did you even click in? Go away.
Because it’s my view on the subject…..

It’s different if I didn’t care about the game.

Nope, this build is from 2019. Meaning well before the new consoles were out. And at that point ps5 dev kits were very few and far between. They likely did some work on the ps4 and xbone, but this will be a next gen exclusive

If their intention was to make it next Gen they would’ve been developing this on pc. Not ps4.

Here’s the real problem. How many games have had ALPHA FOOTAGE trailers that look feature complete? The problem is the gaming industry has conditioned people to what they think alpha is supposed to look like.

Alpha games truly are barely playable. They may be missing certain textures, models, audio, missions or triggers might be broken. It’s a mess.

Beta is when a game is “feature complete” and it enters the meat and potatoes debugging phase.

I promise you that a tremendous amount optimizing and clean up happens in debug all the way until….

RC. Release Candidate. This is when the game is good enough to be shipped, and it gets sent off for review and if that RC passes quality control. There can be 10-20 or even more RCs that get rejected. Upon finally determining that there are no show stopping issues, it goes “gold”. This means THAT version of the game is going to be sent out for printing on disc and prepped for retail release. In that time development will continue on various issues and further optimizations. These are day 1 patches.

That’s not even getting into the fact that these builds seem to be from late 2020. In the middle of a pandemic, there probably weren’t a lot of next gen dev kits to go around. They may have just been using whatever they could to test and build the game. It’s certainly not unheard of for a developer to be using last gen devices to start work on the next game when they’re short on devkits.

I totally believe this is a legit leak. I hope it’s current gen only but I wouldn’t be surprised if it released on old stuff too.

Can someone explain why it'd be a "nightmare" for Rockstar if the source code got leaked?
People can use the source code to hack or mod the game, sometimes before it’s even released, which can be detrimental to the game, especially in online mode as people can use that to gain information and use it maliciously. so from a security standpoint, it’s a huge issue and the devs will need to rewrite it. For a game as big as GTA, we're talking about a potential multi-year delay.

The last time the source code for an AAA game got leaked was in 2003 with Half Life 2, this made the game get delayed for over an year and 80% of it get scrapped.

We are looking to a 2 year delay at least with the source code leak, fixing code + catching leaker and fixing security breaches within the company.

Leaker claimed that he has access to GTA 5/6 source code, if it's true that will be much bigger problem for Rockstar than just a bunch of work-in-progress videos.
Afaik Cyberpunk code leaked too. And bunch of other games. Nothing ever comes out of it because nobody can use it without being sued into oblivion anyway (and frankly, very few people would even know what do do with it).

You really think they will focus on next gen consoles when PS4 and XB1 userbase is bigger. They might do staggered release but it will probably be on both gen.
That would be so fucking dissapointing. All the shit they would need to cut to get it to run on those dinosaurs. Cross gen is a fucking plague on this industry

i was excited at first but this is huge. we're not going to be playing GTA VI for a long time yet! everything we see if it still exists in the latest builds could be scrapped and that could mean completely new characters and setting.

if you want to play this game in this decade then hope that the leaker doesn't post anything else.

Someone's getting fired for this. Maybe someone got fired and did a 'fuck you Rockstar'. But someone will get fired for that too. I bet several people get fired for this.

even if they get fired that's not the end of it. whoever is responsible has totally fucked up. Take Two will literally ruin their life.

He’s sharing source code as people ask. Everything will get leaked at this point.

The leaker is a hacker that has the source code?

That's a big yikes for Rockstar. Massive if that's the situation.
They also hacked Uber apparently. Seems like they know their shit. Rockstar are fucked if the hacker has anything else to release. If the source code drops then Rockstar are wasted.

Also fucking lmao at the hipster journos on twitter acting holier than thou, as if they’ve never said something stupid before. First they make sure they are on the pedastool where all their followers can see them. Then they spout “WoW sO mANy BaD tAKes!!!!” As if they are fucking game devs and know better than everyone else. First off, people saying this looks bad do need to realize that this is an old build of a game thats still two years off, doesnt change the fact that these twitter clown journos are insufferable.

Must be an absolute scramble at Rockstar right now. This is pretty much worst case scenario for any developer.

Lol. Yup. Fired and SUEEEEEEED for life!
It's interesting that the hacker who leaked Half Life 2 source code got a 3 year sentence.

Leaker could very well be looking at doing time in prison or probation. The leaker might never able to find another job and if they do they will be working to pay their debt until they die.

That's pretty insane. Heads about to roll. Imagine working at Rockstar thinking you're about to have a chill Sunday and wake up to this....

I'm hyped.
Who knows how this will end, and how they will handle it...
Sure there is some serious chaos at Rockstar Games right now. OMG
