and starting over, is it possible? do you think that could happen

another one is that they might keep the base game and scrap the leaked characters and create a new set of protagonists, do you think that could happen which would mean a longer wait time?

The leak showed a 2-year old build and if anything might accidently generate a shit load of early hype for the game, especially when they begin to show off the final build.

Seriously what are you on about?

 

[Raven77]

Is this a serious thread?

If so, why would you even think they would do that? It would cost them probably close to 500 million to restart in sunk costs alone.

That isn't how business operate...

 

[Guilty_AI]

sure, they'll scrap years of work because of some leak

 

[bentanchorbolt]

Alright mods time to lock this thread before OP is drug through GAF and comes out poorer for it.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

This forum never ceases to amaze me

ok i really like the 2 protagonists, Jason and Lucia, from what i seen...one thing i worry about is them not scrapping the base game but scrapping them and starting with a new set of protagonists

 

[Crayon]

1000%. In fact, they are going to close the whole company and flee the country.

 

[Beer Baelly]

 

[Jaybe]

Easy solution OP, they will just skip GTA6 now and move on to GTA7

 

[Mister Apoc]

guys im not saying they are going to scrap the whole game, but is there a chance they scrap Jason and Lucia because we seen them in the leak and create a new set of protagonists ,which would mean a longer wait time

 

[FrozenFlame]

101%! They'll scrap GTA6 and jump right to GTA7.

 

[SEGA_2012]

I hope not because i loved LUCIA.

 

[K' Dash]

scrap whatever you want but I need that phat ass.

That would mean scrapping and rewritting the whole story. Voice acting, mo-cap, cutscenes, set pieces, models, the logistics behind everything.... all to the trash.
That would only be possible if the story is on really really early stages of development.

Take away this man's thread making privileges. Clearly the username tag hasnt taught him a lesson.

do you think that is the case?

 

[Guilty_AI]

do you think that is the case?

No idea, weren't some of those footages rather old? They could've already rewritten the story way before the leaks for all we know.

[coffinbirth]

People REALLY need to stop saying that all was leaked was a two year old build. The src is current as of 6 days ago, lol. The COMPILED build was from two years ago. This is a problem for R*, whether they publicly admit it or not.

 

[delirium trigger]

They probably plan to dump over half a billion into this game. No.

 

[rubenburgt]

The company that tries releasing their games over and over again in multiple platforms?

None.

 

[dreamcastluvr]

I don't care if they scrap Jason, but Lucia had better stay! As a matter of fact, let them go ahead and scrap Jason and replace him with an archetype based on Pam Grier's Foxy Brown!

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

Is it that slow of a news day today?

 

[Golgo 13]

They’re going to have to re-write some of the source code for security reasons - we know this to be true. That could add months if not years to the development time. They won’t scrap the game, but make no mistake this will prolong development dramatically.

 

[freefornow]

They will 100% skip GTA6!! And go straight to GTA6 Remastered.
Game. Set, and match hackers.

 

[Walter Matthau]

Time to release the game

 

[Mr Reasonable]

They already scrapped it.

To be fair, they've been looking for an excuse to not make another game and just keep selling GTA Online credits.

I think they might have leaked it themselves.

If the source code ransom is paid for with megalodon cards, then I think we can probably fairly safely say what's been going on.

 

[Kagey K]

Less then 0.00.

If you are going to take hardcore drugs you better have brought enough for the rest of the class.

 

[Arcadialane]

Why would this happen? Can you think of any reason why this would happen?

[Bragr]

I think they will close the studio.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Oh, they are 110% going to scrap it for sure…and then make all shark cards free in gta online.

 

[lukilladog]

Im not even sure, corporations realized the marketing power of "leaks" a long time ago.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

I hope not because i loved LUCIA.

Did you see the sub reddit they made for her?

 

[SJRB]

Mate have you thought about this question yourself for more than 0.1753 seconds?

I may be misremembering, but didn't Valve overhaul huge chunks of Half-Life 2 after their hack and source code leak? At the very least, Valve claimed that the breach and leaking of source code cost them 250 million back in 2003. https://www.eurogamer.net/the-boy-who-stole-half-life-2-article

 

[chromhound]

never

 

[Pejo]

I think it looks pretty cool. I hope they don't scrap it.

 

[veterangamerUK]

Slap yourself hard on the face then carry on with life

 

[Mister Apoc]

Why would this happen? Can you think of any reason why this would happen?

because we know who they are now before we were suppose to

 

[kyussman]

Most people who eventually play GT6 will never know any of this shit ever happened......the game will sell gazillions.

WTF, starting over what? There was hardly anything to see in those leaks, it was such early dev footage, it won't even look like that. Most people still haven't seen it. No chance.

 

[GermanZepp]

Yeah I hear that they are going to do it free to play

 

[Sosokrates]

Why?

The leak didnt show all that much, like less the 1 square km of the map, a few characters and cops and everything was either really early or a placeholder, everything will be improved and a lot of things changed, the final game will look really different, a lot better.
