GTA 6 hacker has access to source code, shares 10K lines of code

GTA 6's leaker has already access to the game's source code. Not only that, but the leaker shared publicly 10K lines of code.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Oh my gosh...

[Jin_Sakai]

Yes this is not good news. Rockstar will likely have to rewrite most of the code leading to a delay.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Hopefully not

[Bobertt]

The game basically looked like just GTA 5 with different graphics. I saw no improvements to AI, shooting, driving, missions, etc. To me it looks like just another cash grab at this point. So a delay to actually make a next gen GTA wouldn't be the worst thing.

[Jin_Sakai]

@Bobertt

You can’t judge the footage this early in development. This is very early code.

[Epicor]

What? Why would they need to do that? Of course this leak is horrible for R* but this shouldn't cause any delays. Or am I missing something here?

[1nsomniac]

Yea the notion that they’d have to rewrite all their code because someone had seen it is a little bizarre. I don’t know why you would think that.

[PapaBop]

How can it be delayed when there is next to no official information regarding the project? You can't delay what isn't announced.

[crazyCoconuts]

@jin that doesn't make any sense

[TheKingKratos]

Why ??

That is very early code .... It will be missing tons and tons of work in gameplay,AI, Graphics,story, voice acting,music etc etc etc that was done while the game in development

They need to do nothing but keep working on their project

[Palitera]

10k lines of code is NOTHING in a project of this size.
FFS, our tiny game's Player script alone has 1k+ lines and it barely touches his main behaviours.

[yeahokwhatever]

lol

[ApocalypseShadow]

Apparently, because they milked GTA 5, and online(even though gamers continued buying their content) and were silent on their next release, some believe they deserve to be hacked because they're weren't open about their next release. That it's Rockstar's fault. As if Rockstar is on gamer time and not on internal developer time. "Not more open" without believing that gamers should be more **patient**, is some serious entitlement of thinking you need to know when you want to. And not when a company thinks it's time and they are ready.

By this thinking, any company that is milking a product or are silent on their next release, need to be hacked. That's not right. It would mean Naughty Dog, for re-releases of TLofU and not telling gamers on their next project, deserve hacking.

Yeah. It sucks having to wait for information to come out. But no company deserves to be hacked that isn't doing anything criminal. And is only working hard behind the scenes silently with their next project.

[monkey602]

I just can not understand the hacker or the sympathisers' line of thought at all!

[Owlbert]

It's called extortion... Take two can teach you all about it, with their shark cards✌️

[FIELDMARSHALL_P]

The internet has caused it lol I remember being a kid waiting on games to come out because I heard about it in the latest issue of Nintendo power. WE HAD TO WAIT patiently, we couldn't go to a forum and complain and cry it just was what it was and we survived. People need to get out of the info now mode all the time. Let shit age like fine wine then we will get the quality stuff we demand. Keep being pushy, hacking, complaining, and we get buggy crap and delays.

[randomvoice]

Exactly this! Also, why do people forget that they built RDR2 in the middle which itself was a masterpiece and took over 4-5 years. It isn't like Rockstar has been sitting on their asses doing nothing. Yeah they could be quicker in delivering games but the scale they pick which gets bigger every game means it takes time and effort.

[Mothman1984]

ApocalypseShadow@ Every company is doing "something" illegal. You just need to dig deep enough. Not a good argument, not good at all. Because everybody has a criminal under the skin.

[ApocalypseShadow]

You go and chase phantoms if you want. Prove to me Rockstar is doing illegal activities? Present your facts. I don't need your wild speculation.

The company doesn't deserve to be hacked. You can deflect all day while saying absolutely nothing. Keeping silent until they are ready isn't illegal. Not giving gamers new information isn't illegal.

Sony has resold Spider-Man more than once. They have not shown gameplay of Spider-Man 2. Does that mean they deserve to be hacked? No.

Come back when you really got something. Right now, you have nothing.

[XxINFERNUSxX]

If you want to share the code make a torrent and there you go. No worries at all, it will not be taken down by shit bags Take Two they are helpless if you share it this way. 😁

[Shiore2u]

@ disagrees
I don't get how anyone can sympathize with Take-Two or Rockstar given their egregious history. They treat their employees like disposable sweatshop workers and their customers like morons. They deserve this and worse.

[IRetrouk]

Do the devs who worked on it deserve it too?

[Shiore2u]

@IRetrouk
Wouldn't be surprised if it's an overworked developer not allowed to leave the office to spend time with his/her family under a career ultimatum from a superior that ended up doing it. Rockstar San Diego's toxic management and work crunch during RDR's development had plenty such examples.

[NotoriousWhiz]

^ I'm not sure that would make the developer's career any easier. I suspect it would make it a lot harder. And then to also do that to own their team would be awful.

[IRetrouk]

It wasn't an employee, the team of devs who have worked hard on this do not deserve this at all, no excuse.

[Elda]

They had stated a year ago that they had to scrap original content just to start over,they may end up doing the same thing again.

[badboyz09]

GTA 6 delay😡😡㈶ 5;

[monkey602]

I guess we add another couple years on to this release now then 😒

[Bobertt]

Can't wait for the mods.

[AuraAbjure]

The video got taken down. What did it look like? Did it look like a new game engine?

[mudakoshaka]

You can check them all out through this link

[Snakeeater25]

I hope there will be character customization

[Furesis]

Sucks for them. I have no interest in playing a half assed version of the game. I hope they find this guy and serve justice. This has completely ruined their reveal scheduling and i'm sure this impacts the release date as well which is bad for us. I didn't want my first glimps of the game to be... this. It just sucks

[CrimsonWing69]

You know every game being made goes through “builds” and they don’t magically look like the final build, right? When they’re ready to unveil the game it’s not going to look like what you’ve seen…

[Furesis]

I know...
I'm saying i didn't want my first "reveal" of the game be like this. It's not very exciting. I'm not blaiming rockastar lmao
My intention was not to say the game looks bad but instead that this situation overall just sucks for everyone.
Of course it's gonna look better, i've seen red dead lol, it's gonna look amazing but personally that is not that important to me, it's nice to have amazing graphics but gameplay and story i find more important for the long term. And thank you for talking to me like a toddler and telling me it's not magic that makes games, i don't know what i was thinking before but thanks to you now i know.

[CrimsonWing69]

Sorry to offend you.

Also, I’m not sure why this is so upsetting for you. It’s pretty interesting in terms of seeing how a game is designed. If anything I’d think it’d add to the excitement of seeing the final build.

[dumahim]

You know they will. Take Two loves going after people for the littlest thing. They won't be messing around on this one.

[KillaJamm]

Well that's the game delayed then....

[purple101]

Can't see delay because of 5mins of footage when the game will be hundreds of hours.

[IRetrouk]

[GoodGuy09]

Oof, the hacker's life will be terribly ruined if they find the person out and deservingly so. This has got to be least 10s or 100s of millions of dollars. This will have a huge impact on the games development and more importantly the devs with more work time and crunch.

[TheKingKratos]

Dat ass though

[FIELDMARSHALL_P]

Bruh I said huh and rewound the video when I first saw it, to make it so bad I was skimming the video and it went to that scene..... they got the booty proportions right for south Florida lol

[z2g]

Pretty lame.

[metalgod88]

People keep saying, "Rockstar needs to re-write the code."

As a software engineer, no, they don't. The code this hacker got is pretty old. Even if it's the current build, it's still going to be outdated within the next day or two. The code base goes through SO many changes daily. Redesigns/optimizations occur all the time.

Sure, if someone got the entire code base, they could try and decipher it piece by piece, but more than likely it would take weeks to understand what does what and how it all connects. With that said, you need to understand the libraries and how they're used to fully grasp the logic written.

[WheatBread]

I expect to see player mods of this female character for gtav soon.

[JBplusVB]

To those who continue to bash Rockstar and some of you saying the game looks awful. You are so unbelievably stupid. If you aren't impressed with what Rockstar has done for gaming then you should take a really hard look at what you define as quality. For those of you that say Rockstar had this coming, I don't think you appreciate how serious and criminal this is. Some of you really need to grow up.

[BlackTar187]

I don’t think it’s right but Rockstar had it coming. Having something coming isn’t a green light to do said thing to people.

They are not the OG rockstar and all the decisions they’ve been making are questionable. The premise for gta6 is basically an article by cnn or msnbc. They are going full speed into woke politics and it’s sad. They also milk you like crazy on the cost of shark cards and refuse to give any SP expansions because it just doesn’t make them the insane amount as micro trans. That is not something that endears you with fans of the past.

[JBplusVB]

They don't milk me for anything. I've never purchased a shark card, not one. Rockstar certainly isn't the only company abusing micro transactions lol. Also Rockstar doesn't make most of those decisions, it is Take Two that makes those decisions regarding micro transactions etc. We will see if the Rockstar of old is gone, The latest entry Red Dead Redemption 2 was an absolutely amazing game. GTA was amazing too, sitting somewhere around 170 million sales.

[BlackTar187]

It sounds like you’re saying all the awesome stuff they used to do was only cause take two wanted them too and all the bad stuff is only because of take two. I’m not buying the heads of rockstar lack so little power or backbone. Well they didn’t use too.

[ApocalypseShadow]

Ridiculous. They didn't have it coming to be hacked.

Sony raised the price of big, current gen games by $10, raised the price of the console in countries where the money was weaker. By your thinking, Insomniac should be hacked because Spider-Man was released multiple times and they haven't shown details or gameplay in a while of Spider-Man 2. Somehow, you think they would deserve hacking so that your entitlement is satisfied.

Some gamers just don't think things through.

[dmonee]

It’s not so much the leaking of content, but the leaking code and other things. This person should be prosecuted to the fullest extent. It’s the fans of the gta franchise that are going to be punished for things like this.

[glenn1979]

Rockstar need to just cancel GTA 6 and let the public burn the person who hack them

[Tetsujin]

I'd actually like to see the code so I have somewhat of a starting point in our project. Not to copy, but to have an idea how some of the real world deals with coding as opposed to in class.

[HyperMoused]

In bird culture this is considered a dick move

[EternalTitan]

A game that inspires murder, death, violence, crimes and all other disgusting behavior.
Its fitting that the devs have become victim to a cybercrime.
A hacker has performed . . .Grand Theft on the developers.

If they made a game that inspires peaceful behavior, good characters building, a motive to help people in need then the hacker would not target them instead.
