It had to happen. Many were hoping to come across information of this type, but the last thing we could imagine is that we were going to find 90 leaked videos of a supposed alpha version of GTA 6. Well, that's just what has happened, and obviously we have to talk about it.
Rockstar's biggest leak
It may be hard to believe, but the person who has been in charge of uploading the videos to the forums of gtaforums has been answering questions and teaching proofs to convince users that the information shared was real. As she answered questions and demonstrated requested lines of code, the doubts began to disappear among the most skeptical.
And it is that 90 recording videos in internal tests of a game is something that is difficult to understand. In the videos you can see many technical tests in which things such as physics or character interactions are mainly checked, but at no time are important details such as the game map (something that many lose sleep) or the characters shown. main. That is, we are talking about video clips of testing very early in the development phase of the game, so there would still be a long way to go to see anything resembling the final game. The question is, how did they come to reach this material?

Interesting details
Among the many published clips, you can see some interesting details such as the presence of the "fuel" field in the vehicle characteristics, something that would suggest a limited fuel system for the vehicles in the game, or the physics of the vehicles. vehicles, which in addition to suffering damage, are capable of showing mobile elements such as pedals or seat adjustment.

It has also been possible to see a sequence in which the character crawls on the ground to enter a covered area. This move was previously unavailable, so now it looks like we'll be able to crawl on the ground for better cover or just sneak past the cops.

Everything seems to indicate that the videos have been extracted from the tool Rockstar Content Publisher, and you can even see some names of programmers that match Linkedin profiles, which would corroborate the legitimacy of the videos. Because yes, there are already those who have been in charge of searching Linkedin for those names among people who work for Rockstar, and they have won a prize.
This is not GTA 6 final
Before you start yelling about how the graphics in these videos look and how disliked the characters are, please understand that this is nothing more than a series of technical tests to test many aspects of the game. The characters used with random models that will have nothing to do with those who star in the story (although there was talk of a man and a woman).
The map should be partly the same, and it seems that there is some reference in the files where Vice City is mentioned. The resolution and graphic quality of the images is that of an alpha version for testing, where neither all the textures are loaded nor the full graphic potential of the game is shown. Also, one of the videos shows the main menu of a PS4, so we could understand that the tests are being done on a PS4 or PS4 Pro.
Waiting for Rockstar's response
As you can imagine, the company should not make any kind of communication in this regard, beyond knocking down all the hosting services in which the files are already hosted. Twitter is filling up with posts with snippets of the videos, so it's very likely that sooner or later all these posts will be deleted.
