If the hacker is some guy in Russia (or another country that doesn’t care about other countries laws etc.) what are they going to do?
Genuine question if anyone on here knows, seems like a very difficult situation. What are the options?

he’s apparently from the UAE.
i dont know but if Take Two get a hold of him he’s in serious trouble.

I'm sure source code leaks for dmca protected software doesn't mean that much

What kind of trouble though? Like, what can they do even if they know who it is? Make him ‘wanted in the USA’ when he scans his passport?
Doubt he’d care.

Looks not bad for (pre)Alpha tbh.

Probably depends on their extradition laws. I’ve no idea to be honest, I imagine if they have the source code though R* will want to get that back without it getting in to the public domain. That is their IP/Engine and would then enable competitors to use this to their advantage. A real difficult situation for sure.

You’re asking ‘what happens if he lives in a country with no extradition treaty with the UK’. Well nothing happens.

Anyone else get blocked from NeoGaf from refreshing this page a few times? Now I have to use VPN. Must be a CF issue or something.

What kind of trouble? We are talking prison time and up to 2 million dollars in fines if the UAE government get a hold of him.

USA has extensive extradition agreements in place. And, as someone else mentioned even if they are somewhere where the US doesn't have reach, they could get extradited to the UK or somewhere else that does extradite to the US. The arms of the law are long.

This hacker really is fucking Rockstar.
That's nothing compared to what awaits the hacker when they catch him. I'm thinking DECADES of prison.

This is absolutly mad and crazy! The dialog seems dumb as it can be and that is great! (the video near the pool)

Can you explain why for a noob? Would that make your system vulnerable?

Yeah and what can the code be used for? Make a GTA clone? Good luck lol
Maybe someone can steal small code snippets or understand their design philosophy or find put how the story goes idk

having the source code makes it easier to hack the game and servers. having access to servers could allow them to spread malware and infect your pc.

It didn't. It's just the 10K lines he already shared this morning.

This is huge. Not that hacks and leaks are uncommon this times but I don't think we ever saw so much info about a AAA stolen like this before. I don't even like GTA too much but this really sucks for everyone working at Rockstar. This projects take so much time and effort that it really sucks got the information out there not in your intended way.

Hes right you know.
You can read the debug menu and cross check the date the driver was available and when the video title says it is.
99% chance the dates on the videos are the dates they were recorded.
They were atleast captured at around that time.
Anecdotally it looks like the team were at the point of working on locomotion when this hack happened.
or atleast the remote team that had to upload all this stuff.
Most of the videos are movement and area aware stuff and all the latest videos are locomotion tests and debugging.
Latest video ive found so far is from Monday.
Has the latest drivers and the latest "build code".....I cant guarantee that cuz we dont know how R* branches their game.

Hopefully it won't derail things much. The Miami location and the Rockstar attention to detail should make for a solid game world, I'll bite if they have a good campaign.

Thats because they have massive massive repositories of assets they can just inject into the engine for these tests.Nah. There very hight quality environment stuff there. You can pretty much have an idea. In fact this looks very far in development. Other games leaks with literallyno textura and stuff. It will look better when releases for sure but I don't expect much. But well see
Some of the videos are old as fuck and look "better" than the videos from last month, its just whatever the team needed or were checking they could pull assets or ask the art team if they have anything they could use as representation.
We need a car do you have a car model ready "yeah, sure here"
We need cop cars do you have a cop car ready "Nah, heres one from GTAV"
Almost the entirety of the leak is mostly locomotion tests.
For whoever is testing they might want the environment to atleast look kinda like a game instead of graybox.
Other members of the team dont mind the graybox environments, which is why some of the videos are literally graybox.
RAGE already has a pretty powerful lighting engine so its not exactly something they would need to tweak much until they reach polish stage, which is probably why the lighting looks very reminiscent of GTAV.....its probably a copy-paste of the TOD settings from GTAV.

This is what happens when you leave it so long before announcing the game. It gets leaked instead.

I mean, for my part, I'm just safely assuming, because I can't stand the gameplay in the first 5/6/whatever. But yeah, Alpha footage is called alpha for a reason. The FFXIII alpha had Yuna, Rikku, and Paine being used as stand ins for the party, I'm glad there wasn't a surge of FFX-3 rumors.

Definitely worth years of jail time. "This giant corporation wont show me advertising? Guess it's time to commit a felony and force them to show me advertising!"

I think it will be in the best interest for them to release cross gen due to the insane amount of damage this leak has already caused. Grand Theft Auto 5 was made for PS3, and Xbox360. Them making Grand Theft Auto 6 using PS4 and Xbox One as a base is still off to a good start. With PS5 and Xbox Series S|X they can add:
Ray tracing
Performance Mode: 60fps-120fps
Variable Refresh Rate
HDR
High Resolution close to 4k
Implementation of FSR 2.0 or FSR 2.1
Almost no loading times
Seamless transition going different parts of map, inside and outside buildings etc.

Someone should cross ref the leaked stuff with the big leaked document way back. From both we can safely say we have already played gta 6.

Look at this over-dramatic shit going on all over twitter:
Of course it will pass. What the fuck do developers even expect to happen after a leak?
"Oh no, since I witness several minutes of footage of an early prototype my interest for the final game that will be out in YEARS died entirely!".
I've been witnessing "gaming leaks" for years and I swear I can't think of a single case where it had ANY significant impact on what I thought about a game.
It either was something I was excited about (and the leak corroborated the idea) or it wasn't... and chances are the leak didn't contribute to improve anything.
Hell, I remember playing the "leaked journalist demo" for Deus Ex Human Revolution which I was already anticipating and if anything it was the thing that cemented my interest in buying the game at day one.

Well, we know Avatar 5 is coming. If only game companies are less secretive and more organized so it doesn’t attract this type of people or this type of behavior. Not that I defend this in anyway.
