Interesting....that's an interesting dynamic... We are probably going to get a good deal of social commentary

obviously i can't post a leaked scan but i'll post fanart of what they looked like in the leak

a bit odd that Rockstar would do another redneck protagonist after Trevor, but it makes sense in Vice City...i .e the embodiment of "Florida Man"

there names are Lucia and Jason

 

[Akuza89]

well adding a female option will open the market for them from their point of view..

i would have to see what they're characters are like before deciding on them... but i can tell what the redneck is going to be like before i hear them haha

he's probably going to be a progressive Redneck in terms of his politics i.e anti-racist etc.

Rockstar protagonists are always portrayed that way as to not alienate people, which makes sense

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

if there will be romance between them i hope it will not feel cringe.

 

[Drizzlehell]

Does it need a social commentary, though? I want to be entertained, not lectured.

the game is rumored to be inspired by "Bonnie and Clyde" and he even calls her "baby" in one of the leaked vids when they rob the cafe

 

[Plies]

Is that Catalina from GTA III? Awesome.

 

[LegendOfKage]

I'm not going to believe he's a redneck until I hear a voice sample. I wouldn't say Trevor was a redneck either, although the Florida setting makes a lot more sense for a character like that than California does.

 

[Paasei]

Maybe she'll have a nice ass.

in one of the leaked vids he's hanging out with what looks to be rednecks

if he isn't he definitely comes from a white lower class background

 

[Putonahappyface]

I'll be playing as the female protagonist because of that distracting beautiful arse.

 

[Airbus Jr]

The graphics in red dead redemption 2 look crazy good

Cant wait to see the improvement here on gta 6

 

[Kurotri]

well..

 

[KyoZz]

But you can.

Too bad because it is part of GTA's DNA. Good news is there is a lot of other games you can play.

 

[Woggleman]

It's Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendez.

The same could be said of Trevor, but he wasn't southern, and he wasn't a redneck. Jessie from breaking bad was white, lived in the south, had poor white friends, did meth, etc. That didn't make him a redneck, though. His friends weren't rednecks either. I think Jeff Foxworthy has an instructional video you might want to view, if you'd like a clarification.

I thought the embodiment of Florida man were Cubans and others escaping communism and fascism? With a side of old white guy from New York playing golf everyday?

 

[Imtjnotu]

well it is set in florida.

but i still watch all the leaked footage from time to time and my hopes are high

 

[intbal]

Why does it matter? Or the graphics? Or the gameplay?

They just have to get the radio right.

 

[Aesius]

Nah, Florida Man is basically any crazy male in Florida who makes the news for doing dumb and/or criminal shit, likely while under the influence of inhalants or meth.

 

[HTK]

It's GTA automatic buy no questions asked.

 

[mortal]

What leaked scan? I'm not seeing anything online about a leaked scan.

i mean posting screenshots of the leaked footage

 

[Drizzlehell]

Funny, because I grew up thinking it was all about destroying the city with tanks and rocket launchers, and pulling over in an alley to fuck hookers.

 

[Mister Apoc]

the game looks incredible

 

[March Climber]

Oddly enough, the guy being there feels like the part that is being forced. They couldn't fully commit to a female protagonist in order to not upset a certain audience, so Young Florida Trevor is there to ease that crowd into the experience.

 

[dr_octagon]

Finally the crossover we all wanted

 

[remember_spinal]

Funny, because I grew up thinking it was all about destroying the city with tanks and rocket launchers, and pulling over in an alley to fuck hookers.

If you ignore the social commentary that is all its about.

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Two groups that are historically mistreated so I expect a ton of social commentary surrounding that. GTA is usually pretty good with its social commentary specifically surrounding how silly capitalism is today and corporatism. Seeing it from this specific perspective should be cool.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Jaaaaaaasoooonnnn

Looking forward to gta 6. We all know its going to be insane.

 

[chromhound]

The Girl is still an undercover cop?

 

[TexMex]

Have you never played a GTA game before?

 

[ReBurn]

i mean posting screenshots of the leaked footage

The entire leaked videos in the diner with sound were posted here already.

 

[Saber]

As long they are crazy scum people doing shit, because doing shit is what GTA characters do, then its gonna be alright. A nothing burger this social bullcrap is, if you ask me. As if people ever picked GTA for that.

 

[ANDS]

Trevor was most definitely NOT a redneck.

. . . also I how folks aren't just straight up posting possible story spoilers in here casually.

Does it need a social commentary, though? I want to be entertained, not lectured.

The one person on this forum who has never played a GTA. Impressive.

 

[bentanchorbolt]

GTA has always had social commentary through satire. Interesting how NOW this is a problem.

 

[Closer]

If you grew up thinking as a child, this game is gonna be just like the others.

 

[Kilau]

I hope the characters are handled GTAV style, with specific missions for them and switching when desired or needed, not just picking one or the other and playing the same game with slightly altered text and dialogue.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Not that I care that much about realism in games.

But It's completely retarded to rob a restaurant without covering your face these days.

Have you played any of the recent GTA games ? Social commentary is a big part of them ..

 

[Fuz]

Maybe she'll have a nice ass.

Not in this day and age.

Social commentary, yes.
Being preachy, not. Hope this won't be the case.

 

[K2D]

Monkey's paw: GTA 6 will have the same emphasis on; and budget for good writing - but the old writers were silently canceled, and the woke crowd have got their foot in the door.

 

[F0rneus]

I am super happy that Lucia is super customizable. I have no interest in Jason. But highjacking fools in a dress and heels? HELL YES!

 

[March Climber]

Not in this day and age.

I finally found the one person who missed leak day.

Edit: Actually two, you and the person you quoted.

 

[mortal]

Imo it would be cool if there were a game mechanic that penalized you for not concealing your identity when robbing NPCs.
Like an iteration of the wanted system in RDR2, where you can be easily identity if you weren't concealing your face during stick ups or kept wearing the same outfit.

 

[Filben]

If she's gonna have that ass from the leaks I'm gladly watch and play her from third perspective.
