TheSmutPeddler Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) There was thread started today that was deleted, (Im sure some of you saw) It was about a ex-rockstar north employee who made a thread back in march 2012 that stated Michael and Trevors name as the protagonists. The guy back in march 2012 also stated that one or more of the mods in this forum is a Rockstar employee which would make total sense. He claimed it was okay to say the names and his first thread got deleted when he had leaked details. EDIT Found it. This was leaked in 2011 so certain things could be contradicting like bodybuilding but rockstar DID say "they tried but it didnt work because of issues with the character models" 1: The game world is absolutely massive and will push both Xbox 360 and PS3 to the very limit in terms of what it has accomplished. Yes, the main city is simply Los Santos however is it AT LEAST 4 times bigger than Liberty City in GTA 4 and that is just Los Santos. The surrounding country side, beaches, etc are massive. For instance, we saw the main character ( an African/American, early 30's) travel by car from the center of Los Santos into the wilderness and it took over 15 minutes. The views were incredible from farmhouses with cattle, huge wind farms, an oil refinery which appeared to be living and breathing with nearly 100 NPCs working on machinery, operating vehicles, lifting and loaded, etc, unlike the gas works in GTA 4 which seemed to only house a few NPC at a time. The forests are more beautiful than those in RDR and featured people camping, young NPC drinking and dancing around campfires, people riding dirt bikes and jumping over logs, streams, etc. The water effects, plants, trees all looked beautiful. 2: The shooting mechanics have been greatly improved with animations for diving, climbing, rolling and crawling all added for better realism. The re-loading animations for new ammo also look cooler, less static. 3: There is much more climbable elements in the world such as ladders, overhand climbing, etc. 4: There are animals in the game from dogs to cattle but at this time it is not confirmed if you will be able to harm the animals. Rockstar were able to get away with it in RDR as it was a true depiction of the world in which the game was set. Allowing dogs/cattle to die in a game sent in current times may cause headaches with PETA. Its unclear if Rockstar were joking here. 5: There are planes to pilot and they can be crashed into buildings if you choose to do so.... 6: Rockstar have included many, many more interior locations such as a shopping mall, college campus, police station, a huge hospital and there is also a vast underground sewer network which one mission later in the game involves a jet ski chase that culminates in a Fugitive-esque waterfall jump ( there are nods to the ridiculous but awesome Ballad Of Gay Tony missions) 7: The city is full of NPCs jogging, weight-lifting, hitting on women, being chased on foot by cops, shopping, washing cars, fixing fences, moving home, filling up their cars, etc. REAL JUICY INFO: 1: Cars can be upgraded/repaired and it has been considered to have a car have fuel forcing the player to fill her up. 2: The dating aspect of the game is gone. You still have a cell-phone but only people you will meet in the game will call you to ask you to do a mission or to ask you to do something else before the mission. 3: Weapons include the usual arsenal you'd aspect but the flamethrowers, remote mines, laxer trip mines and claymores are included. It is possible now to pick up random objects in a street/building to use as a weapon. There is also a museum where it is possible to steal old age swords, axes, etc. 4: it is possible to rupture a fuel line and if you shot at the trail of gasoline it will lead straight back to the car blowing it up. 5: mini games such as bowling, darts, etc have all gone. You can play basketball, weight train, arm wrestle, gamble and cage fight, enter triathlons, water races, canoeing, rock climbing, base jumping, ski diving. More to be confirmed. 6: Character customization is back but only in terms of clothing, body weight, etc. The player you start off which, much like CJ, can't be altered by race, age, height, etc. 7: Rockstar said burglary missions may return but only as part of missions and not on neighborhood houses. 8: No children NPC at all. Ever. 9: There is now an ability to grab people and use as shields or in "hostage" situations. 10: The cops are much, much, much more realistic. If you kill somebody when you know there are no cops around you will not run the risk of a one star as often as you would in GTA4. The cops will use smoke and tear gas, dogs, riot gear and rams to knock down the doors of buildings you are hiding in. 11: You can enter some buildings and lock doors, push objects in the way to barricade. 12: You become better at things as the game progresses. If you only ride motorbikes then you will increase your skills, same as individual weapons. 13: Certain weapons can be customizable and some even home-made. 14: One mission involves breaking out a very familiar GTA icon from a previous game... 15: Torrential rain fall and sunshine and even tremors will appear in the game. The mods who did this forum know what Im talking about, and Im curious to see if they lock this. If not, then we can atleast speculate some more with that very paragraph.

TheSmutPeddler Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 The possible credibility of the leak is the reason why this thread was started. The time that has passed since it was released is irrelevant. Im sorry im not cool enough to know about leaks before you guys. You guys are so cool knowing about leaks before me. i want you to know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sorry im not cool enough to know about leaks before you guys. You guys are so cool knowing about leaks before me. i want you to know that. This supposed leak was known for two years. Do you honestly think we did not already have a discussion about that? My advice to you is to read in to some topics here. There here for a reason and so is the search.

Barguast Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Urgh, kids. This is a generic list of generic information, most of which will have truth to it before it's so generic. Here's another leak for you - one mission will involve a high speed chase, in which the character will have the option of using weaponry to kill the assailant. What the hell, another bonus leak: you will be able to fly planes into the ground, but you may die as a result. There will also be sniper rifles and bombs in addition to the usual array of handguns and assault rifles. What do you want to talk about exactly?

A pad on the shoulders for finding info that has been known for two years. Otherwise I can't see any purpose to this thread really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
