Developers Share Work-in-Progress Footage of Their Games Following GTA VI Leak

Gamers are being given a glimpse of how their favorite sausage is made.

Over the weekend, Rockstar faced a massive leak that saw numerous screenshots and videos taken from GTA 6's development show up online with missing assets and features.

On seeing this leaked footage, some corners of the internet decided to use it as ammunition to criticise Rockstar's unfinished work.

"If you knew how game development goes, you'd know that visuals are one of the first things done. This game is four years into planning and development. What you see is almost exactly what you will get. The next year is mission coding and debugging. All backend stuff. It does look ass," claimed one Twitter user.

This is not the case. In fact, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart 3D character artist Xavier Coelho-Kostolny dubbed this "the greatest extremely-confident-but-has-no-idea-what-they're-talking-about take [they've] ever seen."

Now, many developers and members of the games industry are sharing their own work in progress clips, affirming that what the leaked GTA 6 footage showed us was no indication of the final product's quality.

This is what happens when you push out game demos under the guise of "Alpha" "Beta" and "Prologue" content :yep: People who don't know piss all about what those terms really used to mean start thinking the product is mere days/weeks away.
 
UK Police Arrest 17-Year-Old Hacker in Connection with GTA VI Leaks

UK Police Arrest 17-Year-Old Hacker in Connection with GTA VI Leaks

Lapsus$ strikes again?

UK police have arrested a 17-year-old in Oxfordshire as part of an ongoing police hacking investigation. According to sources spoken to by ex-Reuters journalist Matt Keys, the arrest is directly related to the recent hack on Rockstar Games and subsequent historic leak of GTA 6 materials, and possibly last week's intrusion on Uber, too.

The news comes a few days after Uber revealed that the hack on its systems—which the Rockstar hacker also took credit for—was being investigated by the FBI (opens in new tab). Keys reports that the 17-year-old's arrest by the City of London Police was "done in concert with an investigation conducted by the FBI". He adds that the police are expected to release more information on the arrest later today, and that a statement from the FBI is also possible.

Earlier this week, Uber said (opens in new tab) it believed the hack on its systems was carried out by an individual or group "affiliated with a hacking group called Lapsus$," which has also been tied to attacks on companies as big as Microsoft (opens in new tab), Samsung, and Cisco. Those suspicions may have been well-founded: Keys' source says that the suspect in custody is "believed to be connected to a group identifying itself as 'Lapsus$'".

Is this going to end up suffering from Duke Nukem Forever syndrome where early builds look good and promising and as time goes on it increasingly looks like crap and ends up being force out because its taken way too long to develop and release?

Except R* can still milk the ever living crap out of GTA5 and GTA6 doesnt seem to have overly ambitious aspiriations of godliness.
