GTA 6 leaks seemingly hinting at the influence of Red Dead Redemption 2 separate the fanbase

Modified May 03, 2024 19:32 GMT

Despite the release of an official trailer, the GTA 6 leaks from September 2022 are still the main source of information about the title's possible gameplay features. Interestingly, the leaked footage suggested that the next Grand Theft Auto installment could have a lot of influence from Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2), Rockstar Games' 2018 release. This has many in the gaming community excited, but there are also a few on the other end of the spectrum.

Those in the former category believe that it could help GTA 6 in delivering more immersive gameplay. Meanwhile, the latter fears that making the game too realistic could render it tedious and too far away from the classic Grand Theft Auto experience.

Reddit user u/RawSteakLover made a post on the platform saying those against GTA 6 being like Red Dead Redemption 2 would be disappointed. They talked about GTA 6 leaks showing elements from RDR2 being carried over, stating that the former would be as much of a sequel to the latter as it would be to GTA 5.

An example of this is the RDR2-like limited weapon-carrying capacity suggested by GTA 6 leaks. Notably, many are optimistic about such potential influences in the next Grand Theft Auto as can be inferred from the following comments:

However, the counterargument to this, as mentioned earlier, is the possibility of GTA 6 gameplay being rendered less fun.

That said, it should be noted that the leaked footage belonged to an early phase of GTA 6 development, and therefore, anything showcased by it is subject to change before the final release.

In a nutshell, GTA 6 leaks hinting at the inclusion of some RDR2-like gameplay elements doesn't necessarily mean it would have the same gameplay. The developer can make changes or evolve certain mechanics. Exactly how the long-awaited sequel turns out remains to be seen.

The next GTA 6 trailer is expected to showcase gameplay features but we have no idea when it will come out. Rumors suggest that it might drop very shortly; however, Rockstar Games haven't yet indicated anything of that sort.
