Grand Theft Auto VI Story Concept (Chapter One Addendum Out Now!)

[TheHoover69]

I see quite a lot of people are taking notice of my concept since it’s being passed around as a leak. I want to be clear, this is a concept, not a leak. None of what I wrote in here should be considered as a leak or true, even if some of it does sound likely to be in the final game. This is just a creative writing exercise for me and I’m just using this as an outlet to pass the time.
 

I have heard that there is a google doc being spread around that essentially copy and pasted my story while also making unauthorized changes to it. Please make sure to avoid the google doc and read the original here.

 

Also, I’d like to encourage some feedback from readers! Positive or negative, please don’t be afraid to comment and tell me where I can improve and what things shouldn’t change.

 

I plan on taking a short break before starting Chapter 3.

I also tweeted it because this whole thing seemed like a good way to link to the real deal, so that's also why you might be seeing a lot of new faces looking at the thread

You got that right...

 

 

Don't mind him talking sh*t about your story concept bro, I wanna see him doing it better, since he is always the know it all.

I appreciate the kind words. It sucks that people are using their platform to mock a fan-made concept, but that’s the internet for ya.
 

I think out of all this, I’m more pissed about whoever copy/pasted my concept into a google doc and made very cringey changes to some parts of it, because people are gonna read that and assume it came from me. I saw some of the screenshots from the google doc being posted on the discord and I’m appalled by what I saw.

It's funny, gtamen said that Lucia would never talk like that, I'm a latin (brazilian) and latinas actually talk like Lucia does in your concept, sometimes in even worse ways, but no... gtamen knows better, who never stepped a foot in here, I wonder if he ever talked to a woman before.

I almost feel insulted that this situation was covered by that prick of all people, instead of someone more “prestigious” in the GTA community such as Mr. BossFTW.

I'll be here to check if its true when the game comes out 

 

edit: lol its just a concept, but a really good one!

Say what you want about MrClickbaitFTW, at least he knows where the things came from lmfao.

I'll also hate it if someone making use of my concepts as "leak", and hate it too if people outside thinking that I intentionally con them when all I did is like you said: exercising my creative writing. We shall spread the words of truth around, especially when we spot the google doc being shared.

 

But I don't really care, and shouldn't care, about those mocking our works and not giving substantial feedbacks, because such thing is normal in any fanon community and real-life creative writing industry. Just ignore them.

I think it would be better to put these concepts in a document or PDF

Good to see it's on brand for Rockstar's sense of humor! I loved the CUMGULP one the best because of the Weazel News story about it in IV.

And here I thought Gtaman was one of the better YouTubers out there. Dude was straight up a douchebag.

Eh, what can you do, you know? I appreciate the concern, however, I'm over it. In the grand scheme of things, Gtaman is really just another nobody in the GTA/YouTube sphere. There's no point in sweating over the opinions or destructive criticisms from someone who doesn't understand context and offers no real constructive criticism or feedback. It's not like he's someone I'd go to for advice on writing anyways, that's what the forums are for. I get the impression he's a completely boring and uninteresting person outside of his YouTube channel, same with his mindless dogsh*t followers in the comments.

 

Like I said before, I'm more pissed about the fact someone copy/pasted my concept and made cringey alterations to it. Idk, it's whatever at this point. I'm currently planning a different concept that I'm excited to get started on now that I've gotten back into writing again.

I haven't gone through the whole thing... not yet. Nevertheless, I think you're doing a real good job with this. The dynamic between Jason and Lucia feels really authentic, especially to modern standards. And, Kristina is a good addition to their relationship. It feels certainly different than my head-canon on how Jason and Lucia will turn out, but I'm sold on your take and you make me wait for more. Good job, dude. Please keep on doing whatever you mean to do... and don't mind the f*ckers who try to take a sh*t on this. This is golden!

I appreciate the kind words! I do plan to continue to finish out this concept, so don't worry. Right now I'm just taking a short break, but I intend to get started again sometime next weekend with Chapter 3. In fact, I already have a rough outline on how it'll go and I'm pretty happy with it so far. I'm looking forward to sharing it once it's ready!

WYMAN: Oh, is that how you pronounce it? sh*t, I’ve been saying it wrong this whole time.

This is one of the best laughs I had 

 

I enjoy how you expand Wyman's personality from that short Finland's bit. Absurd geographer and theorist. He's the type who will believe that Bali is the capital and only island of Indonesia.

I'm glad you liked it! From what little we've seen of Wyman, I don't think it's a stretch to imagine that he's more than just a gullible, dumb, and nutty conspiracy theorist. While that may be how he comes across to people on the surface level, under that surface lies someone who is pretty street smart. His problem is that he doesn't know when to shut his mouth with his conspiratorial beliefs.

Just like the character Craig Johnson on OCRP.

Btw I forgot to mention earlier, have you watched GTA VI O'Clock Episode 29 a week ago, @TheHoover69? They mentioned this concept, you're going places lmao.

 

I've left a comment on Episode 30 to spread awareness in case of something similar happens in the future. Hope they cover it next week.

I did! I had a feeling they would cover the whole incident since it became so widespread at the time. I watched it and I felt vindicated when I heard them say that they liked my concept. Like seriously, it felt good to hear them say nice things about my concept and they even encouraged their viewers to have a look at it as well. I’m also glad that the community, with special thanks to Spider-Vice and babydracula, were able to get ahead of that whole thing before it go too crazy and help others understand where the supposed “leak” actually originated from. 
 

I saw the comment you left on their recent episode, I appreciate that! Considering how quickly the community was able to debunk the new “leak,” I doubt such a thing will happen again but who knows? I wouldn’t be surprised if someone else tried again with it, especially as I get closer to the end of my concept and I start writing out the possible endings. I could see someone taking that and passing it around as a new “story leak.”

Finally finishing Chapter II, whew.

 

Atkins got what he deserves. It's refreshing to see that Jason and Lucia aren't the type of protagonists who's willing to be under the influence of a law douchebag like him.

 

And the stake keeps escalating. Atkins gone, but now it's the turn of a fantastic four: Costa, Hackett, Cokes, and Knox. You know how to make the opposing law enforcement side more dangerous and intelligent than ever, like all seeing eyes. I always question why no detective in GTA V is smart enough? Why they can't connect the dots between all heists and mayhem happening in such a short-notice? You give the answer in this concept. I feel like you've watched The Highwaymen.

 

I also have to compliment the references of in-game universe and events of previous games. The concept is rich of them. It's something I try to pursue in my writing, it makes the universe far lively and closer to our real world.

 

The robbery gameplay mechanics are also well-done, like the different fences, return of drug dealing, and money laundering. It's close enough to what @Akaviri imagined in Liberty City 1978. That being said, you two better read each other concept, I think you guys can exchange some inspirations.

 

Lastly, Mission 22 and 23 got me like

I mean in GTAV IV, Francis McReary already knows that it's Niko who kills Faustin at his club and uses it to blackmail Niko into doing work for him. But even then, the story doesn't go deep into that aspect of the narrative. I would've loved to see how Francis and the LCPD were able to put the clues together that it was Niko who was responsible. Like, were Niko and Roman being spied on by the LCPD? Did Michelle leave some kind of anonymous tip to the cops about it? I highly doubt she did, but it might be worth considering. It could be simply that due to the nature of the way Faustin was killed, it was easy for the police to put it together that Niko was the one responsible. But then begs the question, how long has Francis had this information on Niko? It would've been great to for the story to explore that, but then that possibly would've taken away from the mysterious, unexplained nature of it.

 

The closest we got to something like this was the Pinkertons in RDR2. I mean, the way Milton and Ross would just surprise the gang at those few key moments in the story, such as surprising Arthur and Jack while they were fishing, visiting their camp at the end of chapter 3, and the bank robbery ambush at the end of chapter 4. I loved all that sh*t! It is something to hope to see in VI for sure, because I want to be kept on my toes as we get deeper and deeper into the story.

This dude is going to write the entirety of GTA VI and I'm going to be disappointed when the real game is nothing like this

Hahah! Thanks, I'm glad you're liking it so far. We definitely need something to tide us over while we wait for more trailers and screenshots of the game.

Now I remember something that I feel mixed about.

 

Mission 21, "No Good Deed". Jason feels depressed over accidentally killing the innocent woman. In a GTA game, won't this scene fall for the ludonarrative disonance trap? I can have Jason accidentally killing civilians before or after this mission and have him less reactionary about it.

 

I think you can omit and replace the scene. It's a different story if you decide to add an Honor meter like in RDR2 where Jason/Lucia can either be a violent thieves or Robin Hoods. So said scene would only play if you have a high honor. In low honor, Jason would just shrug it off.

It does at first but I intend on having Jason and Lucia talk about this particular moment towards the end of Chapter 3. I don't wanna spoil it by giving too much away, but the reason he feels the way he does about that moment was because he was reminded of a similar situation in his past before he came back to Leonida in Chapter One. I also intend to elaborate on it further during a short sidequest that takes place during the events of Chapter 2 that I plan to add as an addendum to that chapter.
