GTA 6 Dev Laments Unfortunate Trailer Leak: 'This F***ing Sucks'

Oh please.

These devs have been milking the last game across three generations. So sorry that 10 years later, your trailer consisting of a cringey glorification montage of the worst tropes, and stereotypes of a lost country via a tik tok viewfinder, capped with a "its two years out, " got leaked.

You'll be fine. When the large leak for GTA6 occurred, the devs cried the same thing. So is this what was allegedly ruined? That montage was the grand reveal how it was meant to be? Was it the twerking on the car that you really wanted present in your first official showing?

100m views. They'll be fine.

Leakers suck. End of story.

@KundaliniRising333 Are you ever happy or positive about anything? All you do on here is moan.

The reason R* didn't give us GTA last gen was because we got Red Dead 2 instead, these Devs haven't been sat on their asses doing nothing they made one of the biggest games ever made and then after that they started GTA VI the biggest game ever made. They deserved this moment considering the work they have giving to it, it sucks a bunch of worthless leakers ruined it for them.

They'll survive.

It leaked? Oh who cares?! It was supposed to be revealed today anyways.
You got the air waves all for yourselves. It was perfect.
Cry babies, honestly. The trailer was a resounding sucess. A leak of a few hours is irrelevant.

@KundaliniRising333 Yes, of course they'll be fine. But it still sucks

Leaks 99% of the time suck. Its nobody’s looking for fame off other peoples hard work. Stuff like this is why I wish publishers and developers would stop giving access to their games early to anyone with a YouTube channel.

@KundaliniRising333 Damn dude someone gotta get you to one of those strip clubs shown in the trailer with lots of twerking asap so you can lighten up! 😅

These devs aren't in charge of how long they can milk GTA V for or what they can make next, all those decisions come from the very top. If the execs tell them to work on just GTA online for another 10 years their options are to either do it or find another job

No reason ya cant launch the another one… ya know to see what one gets more views.
Probably saved YouTube from breaking anyways.

@KundaliniRising333 "These devs have been milking the last game across three generations."

Oh really, has it been the devs who milked the game? One would assume it's the higher ups who tell them to do that

Look, this sucks massively for anyone at Rockstar. It’s unfortunate and really crappy of whoever did it and those who took part in earlier leaks.

However, I’d equally agree that Rockstar’s practices don’t help the situation. They are one of, if not the most known gaming dev and GTA is its best know product. If you’re going to do announcements of announcements, you know what’s coming.

Get ahead of the curve and if you’ve got something to show, just show it. It’s 2023 and people are pr*cks.

Shame they got their "moment"stolen. That will be annoying for anyone. So if more devs swear and you print said swearing will the comments section no longer censor us? or is there an on off switch per article? Just asking.

Maybe next time don’t announce an announcement trailer and just drop it out of the blue? Leaks are a part of modern day internet. I thought everyone knew about that. I get their disappointment but they must have expected this right?

@get2sammyb correct. It's somebody's profession. They've put thousands upon thousands of hours into their job, only for somebody else to show a low quality version of it to the world before you. Extremely bad form and they're right to be disappointed.

Secondary to that, I suspect there would have been some sort of fanfare at the official release time. Now that's gone too.

@DennisReynolds Are you ever happy or positive about anything?

I can answer that for you...... No

Hopefully this will make publishers think twice about the stupid current trend of announcements for announcements. I sympathise with those involved, but why not just release the trailer as the announcement?

I feel for them, and I think we were robbed of the moment as well. It looks great though.

One has to wonder why people leak things in the first place. Not like you can monetize it. Not like you can announce it was you that leaked it. I really don't see any reason to spoiling things early like this.

RockStar is slipping with these leaks though.

RockStar literally were the kings of secrecy and nothing ever leaked and now this. They need to tighten it up over there.

It is a shame that a world event like this trailer ends up not happening, all together. That is the moment RockStar are famous for.

But the trailer. I really wasn't that impressed. It was OK. It felt very GTA5, for me. Same sort of setting, graphics didn't wow me.

I honestly think RDR2 looked so much better than this. That game still wows me to this day.

I'm looking forward to the game but that trailer didn't really go omg I need this. It really wasn't above and beyond GTA5 or RDR2, in my eyes.

@bugzbunny109 For real it's gta 6. Not like people didn't know it was coming without leaks.

I guess it ruined that Rockstar mystique they try so hard to maintain

@KundaliniRising333 Tell me you dont work in the videogame industry without telling me you dont work in the videogame industry

It is unfortunate that it leaked ahead of time. On the bright side for them though the trailer will still be watched a ridiculous amount of times anyway I'm sure.

But yeah still. Leakers stink. Just a bunch of weirdos that get pleasure out of ruining other people's fun.

How do you even leak a trailer lol. Like sounds like they just didn't have it as tight as it should have been.

Oh man. The detail and the way NPC's interactions are awesome. Can't wait for 2025.

Bruh I've worked in retail for the last 10 years and when someone spoils something in my job or my personal work that ***** bothers me I can't even fathom how these devs feel to have these moments taken away from them 😢

@KundaliniRising333 The spent a decade with Online and many years developing RDR2 and since RDR2 they have been working on this. Do you think they've just been sitting on their hands for ten years? You realise how much it takes to make something like this? Stay salty kiddo.

Unfortunate but it happens. Better control over it.

Me I couldn't care less not my type of game. The themes/content/setting don't appeal to me. I even played Liberty City Stories, PSP aside didn't care for it. The writing was boring, the controls were eh and I've played better on PSP and it's limitations of 1 stick they play way better than it does.

Granted a lot has changed and I got a cheap (pre-owned physical so no I don't add to the current GTA5 sales at all, not digital) GTA5 copy on PS4 with the physical map to try. But I'm not holding my breath for excitement on it. It's for curiosity and that's it.

Good on them with making it/supporting an audience/using the current consoles power then the PS3/360 base GTA 5 was to PS4/Xbox One. But I'm not missing out on anything my taste in game design is different then what people look for in games like these.

The worlds aren't gamey exciting to me. The satire may be something/romantised worlds but they aren't compelling I'm fine with other forms of parody then just too much on reality/whatever themes or even crime thrillers just never were my thing either (I also don't find elements of reality to be immersive/exciting. I mean most that aren't don't for me and even then I see past the character models/actions or and such) so they will never appeal to my taste. They have a place to exist though.

@KundaliniRising333 even though I do really enjoy the gta series (gta online sucks though) I agree with you on this. All Rockstar have done is regurgitate gtav over 3 generations of consoles. And in all that time they still don't understand how to make the online side work on day one or day 10,000. That lazy ass port of red dead redemption just about did it for me and you can bet there will probably be a port,remaster,remake of the last red dead game at some point. If naughty dog can release countless versions of the last of us then rockstar just see that as a green light to follow suit. It sucks when somebody's hard work gets leaked but 36 million views is nothing to be sniffed at. I'm looking forwards to the next entry when it's eventually ready to play at least a month after launch when it's actually playable.
