I remember Disney had a bunch of Marvel trailers leak. They said they were disappointed that it leaked because it didn’t represent a finished product. And I was like “we’re all adult enough to know that” Spoiler. We’re not adult enough to know that.
The finished product was barely any better than the leaked footage, so it's perfectly valid to assume the final product of GTA 6 won't look much better than the leaked footage.
@@jacqli69 What? Those aren't comparable at all..? Aside from them being two different mediums, I don't know when the marvel leak happened, but GTA6 isn't due out until at least 2024. I think that assuming this is close to the final build when it's _over a year_ away from release is asinine at best. Shocker - a LOT of work goes into video games. Who'da thunk it? /eyeroll
@@zach-rac Exactly. Those early early trailers of RDR2. The short "in-engine" teasers didn't look nearly as good as the final product. They looked good, but there was clear work to be done in the years up to release and it delivered in the end. To many it's still the best looking open world game unless we're comparing to a Sony exclusive like Horizon on PS5.
Y'know, as a fellow artist I can relate to the "stranger looking over your shoulder criticizing an unfinished drawing" vibe these responses reek of. I don't like Rockstar, much as I don't like any other corporate entity, but it's gotta be really annoying for the actual creators.
I feel this too. I design and build theatre sets for a living. The dumb questions from actors on the unfinished set for rehearsals never stop and never fail to annoy the shit out of me. "This (insert some obviously unfinished, bare-wood element of the set here) is going to get painted, right?"
@@projectz975 Yeah, like I'm surprised they went that detailed on models that aren't close to final. I wouldn't be surprised if they were still at chunky block/blank mannequin/GTA5 borrowed asset stage at this point
Counterpoint, AAA games are hardly art. They're corporate produced products designed to sell, not express. Also showing off early builds is a regular practice on game dev outside of AAA studios.
As an illustrator who also makes fanart for my own enjoyment between client work, god is this ever familiar. "ArE tHeY bALd??" 🙃 "No, that's just the base drawing of the head so I can put the hair _on_ it." "Oh My GoD aRe ThEy NeKkiD LmAo!!!" 🙃🙃 ".....no. That's the base drawing of the body so I know _where the fuck the clothing folds will go."_ 🤦♀️
@@thomasakagi7545 People don't know what they don't know, giving clients a run down of what your process is before you start and telling them when it's useful to have feedback on which aspects is all that's needed. It's not about having a lack of creativity, they may well be very creative but not everyone is creative at the exact same thing. Le gasp! Anyway, taking such an adversarial attitude with clients rarely goes well.
I'm a game dev. Those lines in the leak are the ways we test our games to see where a boundary point is or create a predicted path for maybe an NPC to go. It can help to see these to test how much a game can handle or if these systems are working as expected together. It shows they're probably trying new stuff over making the same game with just new environments.
I do design work, primarily web design, and while I was watching/listening this video I was working on mockups for a website. I have a column next to the mockups that contains descriptions and notes, and I'm just imagining a client looking at that and going "man, that column totally ruins the feeling of the website", somehow missing the very obvious point that it's not a part of the website. That's basically what people are doing here. Gamers really are something else.
I was a game dev. I left it because I experience overwork, terror by my boss and overall a highly toxic environment that tried to keep me imprisoned while they also expected me to always give 200%.
TBH I was disapointed bc I set up my expectations thinking Rockstar was working on using a system like BeamNG Drive for their car model physics but that does not appear to be the case at all. I whish they were trying new stuff like that but I am no longer hyping myself up that it will be the case...looks like just mostly same with minor tweaks.
@@memegazer It didn't even need to be on the level of BeamNG. Old technology can still be fun and impressive if it was well made and tweaked just right. The damage didn't look too bad on GTA IV, just a bit weird when deformation got very extreme. Even in the base GTA V it isn't as bad, but if you're playing the online modes, or using mods to access update cars in single player, you might not know this. The damage is a lot more underwhelming on update cars. And with a simple mod you can also enable damage to the car's cabin, which improves it a lot too. Driver games on the PS2 era, as bad as they could be, and with their terrible reputation (though I did enjoy Parallel Lines a lot on the PS2), had very good driving and damage models for the cars. I think, if I'm not mistaken, that cars could even split into parts, like the Bolide in BeamNG after it's update. And some PS1 racing games, like TOCA (the predecessor to GRID) already had decent mechanical damage simulation (hell, talking about PS1, they even had a first-person camera and WORKING MIRRORS). Just add some small features, tweak the damage well, code some basic animation modifier for if the cabin gets dented in a way it would go where the character model sits (I mean, they had the tools I believe, like with some stuff we saw in GTA IV. Euphoria has a lot of potential), and it could look amazing while still being much lighter than Beam (do remember that even on more powerful CPUs, that game still can't handle that many cars at once. I haven't tested the simplified traffic with the new update yet, I hope my PC can handle a decent amount of traffic now).
@@rodsk8dude731 Still though...vehicle deformation tech has progressed...but it does not look like Rockstar is keeping up imo. Sure it is my own fault for hyping myself up that they would...but there is little doubt to my mind that the devs at Rockstar don't know about the new standard either but choose to ignore it.
The dude who leaked this better be cowering in a bunker somewhere. Take two is a company that once sent literal hired goons to a GTA V mod developers house to try and scare him into stopping development of his mod. They are probably calling up some private army right now to get the hit squad ready.
The guy needs a gun. Badly. To shoot these guys if they dare to harass him. Make it known that trespassing and refusal to comply will permit the stand you ground action. That's the only chance of defense. And if they breka in, bloodbath ensues.
@@23Scadu Yup. A modder of GTA5 had large men in suits and a black vehicle pull up to his home and intimidate him into stopping modding instead of properly go through legal channels for a cease and desist.
I think the idea of a Bonnie and Clyde adventure sounds interesting. It's a fresh new premise for GTA which has been getting a little stale and it's surprising that there hasn't been more games using that kinda plot.
Imagine how smooth your brain must be to get mad at a pre-alpha build of a game because of the graphics. It would be like getting mad at a novelist for the quality of their writing when they're halfway done with their rough draft.
Some people really don't understand how game development works. They think the previous finished game is the starting point for work on the new title. In reality every new game is made from scratch (you can reuse some assets and code, but still..)
"But we live in an age where for some people being unhappy with a videogame is actually more fun than enjoying a videogame" Holy hell did somebody need to say that! Thank you!
I actually like enjoying games it just has become that much harder to do so. I literally went from having owning a game that was fully playable (Bloody Roar/Tekken), to games that come with feature cut to be put in dlc (Dynasty Warriors, Sims), to single player games with micro transactions (AC Valhalla, Watch dogs legion), to the final form of games literally making new games out of old game assets and calling it something new #with microtransactions# (Pokemon/Fallout 76) I guess that makes whatever I enjoy become a treat, but also makes finding a game I want that much harder. The part that kills me is how Nintendo used to be a company that hated low quality games on their system. To now having a whole system that's purely playing ports and emulations and selling them for full price. Just watching the last Nintendo direct gave me brain worms. Games have become less about art and what not and every console/PC game has went the mobile root of over saturation at the cost of quality. I dunno when selection has began to trump quality but now a days that's the focus.
This just shows how little people understand the insane amount of work goes into any sort of development. Non-developers just think this stuff magically makes itself
i can totally agree with your post. i have a bit of experience in development myself and it is absolutely NOT a magical-make-ik-by-thinking-it kind of thing 🙂
Even as a developer, although not a game developer, video game design work, which is a decent part of the shit complained about here, might as well be magic.
It helps to remember that "the gamers" are still typically males aged 15-19 and the average age of people buying games is about 35. It's a perpetually-renewing emotionally disregulated, entitled and naive demographic.
I mean honestly I don't think it's just game development, I don't think these people have ever made *anything*. Like painting, animation, music, pottery, wordworking, literally any project that takes more than an afternoon. Just anything to have any conception that some things take time to make and often look very bad in the interim stages.
I love how having a main character option that represents +-50% of the global population is “woke” now. I still don’t believe these people are real; it comes across as trolling across the board.
All i hope is that they make the female the main protagonist, not a character creation option or a "token female," alongside the " token black guy. " Then we can all drink of the nasty little goblins' salty tears of impotent rage 😂
most of it isn't. Didn't it essentially get proved years ago that there's a direct pipeline from 'gamer rage' into alt-right terror organizations? Which are themselves orchestrated by Russia and China as part of a continuing global power game. Much of it takes place on twitter, a platform so innundated by bots that the organization responsible for it has stopped attempting to deal with them because of how hard doing so would hit their ad revenue streams. Another portion takes place on reddit and similar platforms, where pride themselves on being anonymous and therefor easily manipulated for pennies on the dollar.
@@delano6572 Bless you... the previous gta games invested quite a bit of time "putting down" women (treating them like stereotypical whores, strippers or scolds), and ALWAYS featured a male protagonist, so don't worry your pretty little head, I doubt Rockstar will have changed their tune too much. They'll still be diverse and inclusive for people like you. And if they don't... Well, it's not like there's not a million other games with muscular white men saving the day for you to drool over. 🤣
i honestly didnt even know there was...discourse...around the leaked footage. i watched a bit of it, went, "yeah, that looks like early development footage, and that looks like a GTA game, oh well," and went back to doing whatever it was i was doing at the time. i have no idea what kind of smooth brained idiot do you have to be to think that was what release gameplay would look like. its like, every few months i realize i'm not actually as dumb as i thought, it's a strange feeling
Honestly glad you at least mentioned Bridget. I had actually expected (until today) that you'd do a video on how Bridget had been confirmed by the GGS creator as being officially trans female, how members of the "community" tried so many mental gymnastics as to say how they were still a guy and, when the official word came out, how that same "community" just decided to drop all pretenses and went into full mask-off transphobia. It felt fitting for an episode of the Jimquisition. Still, this was a great episode and popping a reference to it was still satisfying. A little dessert after the main course.
I found the way they handled Bridget disappointing. Imho they were a better trans representative before. Though it was proly easier to be fixated on a characters gonads over writing a story about the struggle of rejecting and defying the role society imposes on said character.
You can understand why they were frustrated though. Femboy representation is even less prevalent than trans representation. And with Bridget's whole.... forced femininity angle being a bit problematic, I can see why some people would reject that statement.
Favorite line: “Status quo Warriors.” Should hear more of that… although maybe Priest or Cleric would be better, gets across that religious fascist portion of it. Inquisitors there we go!
people losing their minds over early video game footage being rough, has the same energy as the dudes perplexed by Aloy’s “facial hair” or Abby’s reasonable physique in The Last of Us Part II. It makes me wish that games WERE just for kids because then I wouldn’t have to be depressed by the fact that these people are potential voters
yet next i go to some "bloodborne psx demake" and see just a row of thousands of praise comments how impressive it is and how they want to play it. ofc i understand the audience is very different
@@kallemetsahalme5701 I agree, though I feel like the difference in audience is due to expectation. I think for a long time, the professional video games industry was so opaque about its production cycles that a lot of people see it as a black box out of which finished products "poof" into existence. Indie/fan development has a more established tendency to be transparent about the rough spots of game development. For a lot of people this probably causes them to equate roughness as a necessary corollary to indie development rather than a common thread between the two.

As much as I detest Rockstar and Take2, I do feel for the developers and other ground employees. Also, I personally don't engage with leaks, but the people who are seriously criticising pre-alpha footage of a game that's not set to release for another two years gotta be the absolute dumbest people around.
Justin kindly clipped the part where I lost all professionalism behind the camera, fell down laughing and demanded to know “why!?” incredulously after they did that.
Incredible stuff. I didn't know GTA6 was going to get the "Get Woke, Go Broke" nerdrage treatment. But now I am looking forward to it. I'm excited for the day when -- much like fundamentalist religious people -- the "anti-sjw" crowd has placed so much culture into the woke-heresy bin that they are stuck without any videogames, movies, books, or TV shows to enjoy. They just have to sit in the dark reading the old testament (Jesus was a bit of an SJW defending that sex worker, having long hair, hating on people for making a profit so no new testament allowed) and occasionally shouting "WOKE!" to no one like an elderly dog barking at an imagined mail truck.
I mean, it already has begun to become like this. These people are literally turning into these old people from all the 70ies, and 80ies movies that shout "Hippies!" at everything and everybody who irritate them for some reason while looking out of their windows. The only thing that has changed is that they use a different word, but they behave exactly like these caricatures of old, bitter people from back in the day.
The best part is that in no way will GTA6 ever go broke. Especially because most of the morons shouting "get woke go broke" will buy it anyway, like they do with everything else they've said that about
Honestly I feel indifferent in the leaks outside of the fact that the dude who leaked it will be in a world of shite. Oh and GTA has been political since part 3, where the hell were these " I Want No Politics In My Games" ppl been in the last 20+ years?!
@@SpaceSkeletonDragon Yep. And the easiest way to understand this without needing to delve into specifics for a specific game is it's because every piece of media is political and always has been. People can try to make stuff cutesy and shallow to avoid an explicit political stance, but even that is taking a stance in itself in what it chooses to focus on. There is no being impartial.
Lmao that ending got me! Now what I wanna know is, are all those guys complaining about playing as a woman secretly gay? They seem to wanna stare at a man a lot more than stare at a woman.
@@lainling Bridget is literally AFAB, as she was born biologically male and raised female. Daisuke should also be given points for the fact that Testament has always been nonbinary, changing their gender designation as the Japanese vocabulary for nonbinary identity developed.
The main games, gta 5 and Red Dead really are polished to hell. It's only the sh*tty port of the trilogy that wasn't even done by rockstar, they got a 3rd party to do it. How anyone can judge pre alpha footage of a game is beyond me though. We should only take positives fron this footage of potential gameplay and nothing else. Even yhis gameplay will change massivly. Anyone seriously reviewing the game based on this footage is an absoloute moron
Considering how much you've used the phrase, I was genuinely surprised that the Jimporium doesn't yet offer "The Fanbase Is Fucking Exhausting" t-shirts. I for one would be happy to wear one.
Had a friend call wokeness over GTA having a female playable character. There's a reason I said "had". There's a lot of reasons to hate rockstar. A. LOT. OF. REASONS. but this is very much not one of 'em.
I must admit, I’ve grown to appreciate The Gamers’ stupid rage. As someone who has struggled with self-confidence issues throughout their life, I can always look at those man-children and remember that all my flaws are trivial in comparison to theirs. 😀
Indeed. I am an abject failure and fuck up in all things "life", but hey, at least I'm not as bad as those guys.... And yes. They're all guys. Men. Well, boys, rather. We know this as fact.
FR FR, It's the honey boo boo effect where everybody likes looking down on somebody. Except in this case you can do it guilt free because you're not looking down on an exploited child but idiot man children who willingly out themselves. I may be a little sad, but I am so far from that edge it is beyond the horizon of where I'm standing.
I agree. Having (what I assume will be) a romantic relationship between the two playable characters that you can switch between sounds like a really interesting dynamic.
If there is no way to play with a male character; not worth it. Also, it is known that the game is going to be WOKE, and I am in favor of everyone being ridiculed for trying to defend such things.
Speaking as an animation student, I'm sick to the back teeth of people complaining when early footage doesn't look good. Trying to animate anything with all the effects and shaders and final textures are active is EXHAUSTING and ends up slowing the whole process down. There's a reason we leave the fancy stuff to last, and it's so we can focus on getting the base elements down and working. And this is coming from a student, it's going to be so much more complex for an actual professional project. Edit: spelling
I was gonna say doesnt every game look crap until the last year of dev time? Why would you impliment character models you dont know will be final? Why would you put shaders and lighting in when the customers not gonna see it?
I'm with you buddy. Not an animation student, but I began self teaching with Blender last year. My project has come a long way and I release monthly progress footage for friends and family to see, but something I get is "You should make the character's face move" and "why don't the fingers move?" My guys, please for the love of god! Animation takes a ridiculous amount of time and without planning forwards, any work you do can be utterly and completely useless just by virtue of a few things changing in the scene. I learned this the hard way when my rough animation was all done off the top of my head, then when the time came to polish it and I had more experience under my belt I realised just how much more interesting it could be and had to redo half the crap all over again. Never finalise anything until the time has come to, y'know, finalise.
@@Songbearer My sympathies, it's rough when you have to constantly explain your process! I don't think people really realise that without the groundwork, they don't get the fancy stuff.

I often wonder how much it will take for “gamers” to realize that gamer culture is inherently toxic. Getting angry over what someone says in a review is one thing. Threatening a developer over delaying a game is another. It’s another thing ENTIRELY to have seething, lunatic-inspired anger over a pre alpha build. Are gamers really that bored with nothing to look forward to in life?! Find a lady. Get some training or education. Make a life worth living. It’s worth it.
Doubt there's much to look forward to in general nowadays. I've certainly nothing to look forward to outside of the odd game release. Doesn't make it an excuse to throw abuse at developers over absolutely nothing.
I will spoil this for everyone. There is always a part of a fanbase that is toxic and sends death threats. The unfortunate reality that sending death threats isn’t even unique to the gaming industry. How many famous people have had death threats and stalkers? Anything with a fanbase will have its toxic 1%.
Every time I look outside I don't see a lady, I don't see anything. I'm trapped in my childhood home a type 1 diabetic with ADHD and borderline Asperger's that can't hold a job and flunked out of a community College twice. For me it's either video games or the noose. But still threatening devs and being pissy about LGTBQ people is just fucking pathetic
There are toxic aspects to subgroups of people who play games, but to say that "gamer culture" is toxic misses the point. There are different groups of people who play games, and they come from different backgrounds & internet subcultures. You have to criticize yhose subcultures, and not lump all people who play games as a whole.
The sad thing is having female protagonists in games shouldn't even been seen as "political" it should just be the norm... I mean you could play a female protagonist in the saints row series and no one complained.. but heaven forfend you play a game with a dedicated female protagonist.. 🙄

Mature people's first instinct is to feel bad for the devs and artists working on the ground floor, and how this will impact them mentally. Immature people's first instinct is to critique the game based on that leak, and celebrate the leaks as poetic justice. Yes you can still criticize corporate f*cks, but cmon. Who do these leaks hurt most, truly? As we've seen by the internets response, that answer is CLEAR.
I disagree partially. The source code leak will hurt the company the most. Huge idiocy from the people judging the team and coders for what a leaked pre-alpha looks like but i feel that the biggest harm, from what i've seen myself, has been on the company.
how much is this supposed to hurt the devs? they have been getting paid for their work. what hurt the devs is the years of crunch, the frat-like mentality, the sexual abuse and psychological abuse that Rockstar execs and HR have subject them for years, and I'm pretty sure they didn't go there for nor have been compensated for that.
@@endless2239 Seeing the type of outrage presented here for the project you're spending your time creating does add extra mental stress upon a person, which is just yet another layer on the bullshit they deal with from corporate greed and the industry crap as a whole.

@@shawnpenny4569 In my experience, if you work for a big company and you actually care about the project you're spending your time on, you will mostly experience stress over the incompetent management staff who does everything in their power to prevent you from improving the product.

I'm sure there's a number of people just happy that GTAVI is not only real, but fairly far into development as those videos can attest. Not too far, but far enough to make it look like a game is slowly but surely coming together.
Further than you think, yes the graphics have a LONG way to go but the gameplay is there and solid. Mainly talking about the ai and the shooting. So excited to see how realistic police interactions feel
Rockstar is so good that they make the gta 6 pre alpha footage which mind you was recorded a year ago still looks more complete than the average Ubisoft game
My big hope for GTAVI is they show no mercy towards conservatives when it comes to parodying them. Like I want it to be a feature that if you shoot someone with a red hat, they'll have different voice lines like "They is dun tryin to censor me!" and "Oh dear Festus! (GTA's Trump) Save me with your warm and long and throbbin embrace!" along with other things similar to that.
"...for some people, being unhappy with a video game is actually more fun than enjoying a video game." So true both for gaming and many aspects of life! It's vitriol for the sake of vitriol.

I genuinely feel bad for the developers and artists involved with Rockstar. Capital-G gamers are insufferable and abusive, and the suits in charge of Rockstar are even worse. This leak is going to create an untenable situation for the most vulnerable on two fronts. With that said, it is satisfying to see Take-Two get bopped on the nose, but I know in my heart of hearts that it’ll just wind up passing its fears, anger and insecurities onto the workforce, and most of the vocal fans won’t bother to train their crosshairs on this.
You remind me of the elephant man reciting the alphabet backwards. "i gEnUiNeLy fEeL BaD FoR" the millions of people who purchased the dogshit that is the "remastered" editions of Vice City and San Andreas, as well as those duped into buying the "enhanced" edition of Grand Theft Auto 5, which were nothing more than defective products upon release. I don't give a single fuck about a conglomeration that has, per co-founder and former employee Jamie King, worked employees into the ground for seemingly little pay off. Rockstar is the same company that has threatened multi-million lawsuits against individuals who have made car mods. I'm not talking about individuals who are looking to ruin the online game for others or damage Rockstar's concurrent licenses. No, Rockstar threatening lawsuits against individuals for creating single-player car mods (i.e., the lawsuits surrounding GTA 4's Ballad of Gay Tony). Fuck 'em.
Gamers, especially young ones today, have been conditioned for years that footage of completed games, two weeks from release are somehow still pre-alpha. Just to be able to exercise the "It's still alpha" excuse. So when gamers actually see alpha/pre-alpha footage, their brains get blown because that actually looks like messy, unfinished stuff. And now it comes back and bite Take two in the ass a bit
Rockstar also had reports of seeing improvement in there work culture before this leak happened so I wonder how much this has affected it considering that they'll probably have to delay the game now to resolve any problems this issue creates, are we gonna end up hearing the same crunch stories that we heard for pretty much every other rockstar game before this?
@@johan13135 "somehow still pre-alpha" That's because too many trailers nowadays claim to be pre-alpha in little text disclaimers alongside "footage not final" even though the footage was clearly prioritized for the sake of throwing something to the wolves, so people get skewed expectations that companies bring on themselves, and then they turn around and act shocked when people react negatively to REAL pre-alpha footage.
The source code beeing made public would allow modders to bypass the predatory Sharkcards economy of GTA Online and it's future incarnation and any microtransactions that are sure to infest GTA 6, wich i'm guessing is what is really making execs furious.
My understanding that the actual amount of code that leaked is about 10k lines of code, which wouldn't be significant enough to bypass anything I imagine. The problem is more the fact that the leak happened in the first place which is probably going to stop things as a security review is done.
I understand the general hatred towards microtransactions but I think that R star charging a very transparent price for a product is ok if people want to buy it. They kept updating thier game very regularly for 9 years. Between buyers and sellers its seems like a mutual agreement
@@Darkflo23 On one hand it's true with regards to understanding how the game works under the hood. On the other hand unless the code is exposed through API calls the modders it won't be directly useable.

It was the same with the new Saints Row, where the character from the trailer (in a game where you can play as anyone you want) was deemed woke because of her hairstyle. Nothing can shock me now, honestly.
Probably about the only thing about the whole incident that actually caught my interest. If the new instalment plays like Vice City with a female protagonist and a native Linux version, I might actually consider buying it.

In my first foray into game development, I opened Unity, made a shiny ball, put it on a 2D plane, typed in some code to give it directional control to move on said plane, and when I tried to run the game, it promptly crashed. 2 hours later I discovered I had typed an 'x' in the code when it was supposed to have been an 'X'. I quit and never tried making a game ever again. I look at this alpha footage and cannot imagine how much tedious, boring, agonizing work must have gone into it to make it look this good and this functional. Whoever is complaining about it is an idiot.
Tbf most billion dollar corporations got there at least partly by cutting corners, especially nowadays. Wouldn’t be surprised if they cut security shortly before all this

Hope he understands which company he's fucked with. Take Two isn't just legally aggressive, they've literally hired scary looking dudes to intimidate people at they're home for far less than this (true thing that happened to a GTA V mod developer). God knows what lengths they will go on something of this magnitude.
“Who knows what will happen between now and the video’s publication.” They aren’t wrong considering how the information has spilt about the hacker being 16 years old (to which the line of “I can’t believe how viral this got,” line suddenly makes a whole lot more sense). So yeah, we’ll see what kind of fallout could happen but that isn’t stopping many from apparently “prejudging” a game that hasn’t been announced yet (much less has a release window of anything, anytime soon).
I might be mistaken, but I vaguely feel like JS stopped saying “Thank God for me!” at the end of videos for a while. Glad to hear it back in videos again!
Back then it had restrain and clever writing to make you think about it and let you form your opinion but now it's "this what you should be saying and thinking about because if you don't your all this ist, ism and phobes". The reason why they're like this now (including me) is because we're caught on and had enough of this bullshit. Remember We're in a different time with different rules then what it was back then. I just hope we can get back to the way things were.
"It's been in development for 9 years, it should look better" Literally saw someone say this on Twitter, and that right there let me know that the majority of gamers don't know shit about game development.
they finally admit it, everyone. WOMEN = WOKE. your workplace, that has those women emplyed? WOKE. that grocery store where you get your doritos? WOKE! the school your kid sibling goes to? WOKE!
Which means their very existence is due to 'woke', seeing as it was a woman who shat them into the open. What must these sad sacks think of their own mothers for taking all the power of birth away from their now emasculated fathers. 😁
As a writer, the culture wars scare me. Don't include any LGBTQ+ characters, I get called exclusionary. Include them, I get called woke. But if I'm gonna catch flak either way I may as well do it while doing the right thing. If my stories can benefit from a gay character, they get one. It's ultimately all in service of artistic expression and cultural evolution, not chasing the approval of a bunch of snowflakes. I hope the games industry takes this stance too, that if a story needs telling, just tell it. Creatives serve a cause these basement dwelling perma-angry psychologically impaired whiners will never comprehend. Rise above them and tell your stories, games industry. Whether that's putting women in GTA or a trans character into the next Elden Ring. It's your story. Tell it your way.
Upsetting those that whinge about diversity is a victory to feel good over. Their ilk squirm in very pleasing ways and most of them are ultimately too soft to pose a real threat.
You know what I'd like to see in GTA 6? A female character living a successful but boring life (husband, 2 kids, high paying but boring job, etc) who gets caught up in some serious crime (like armed robbery) and impulsively decides to help the robbers. From that point on, she has to juggle keeping up her appearances in her boring, normal life with keeping the robbers happy or they'll out her to the cops. They know how to erase their tracks, she doesn't.
@@youtubeuniversity3638 Simple boredom. Her life has always been safe and secure. When she finally gets caught up in something exciting, her heart reacts before her brain can stop it. This premise could lead to all sorts of interesting scenarios. Some funny, some dark, some deadly serious. Perhaps over the course of the story she learns to be a better criminal, culminating in her going on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against the robbers to get out from under their thumbs. Or maybe she goes to the FIB, lays out what happened, attempts to do the right thing, only to find out the cops are just as corrupt. Just about the only story beat I wouldn't want to see is her 'falling for' one of the robbers and that being the reason she 'turns to the dark side.' That kind of storyline partially robs her of her agency and plays into sexist stereotypes. I'm fine with sexist stereotypes for NPC's, but I'd hope the devs would treat a main character better than that.
Maybe I’m wrong, but when Pokemon Crystal came out and you could play as a female character for the first time, it was praised and everyone was happy about it. Wild how times have changed, it was probably the internet that did it.
OH MY GOOD THE FOOT FUNGUS GOBLIN!! I HALF THOUGHT IT WAS A NIGHTMARE FROM MY CHILDHOOD! Formative horror experience seeing that commercial as a kid, but I've never seen it mentioned since. Not sure how to feel about that having re-entered my life.
honestly, I couldn't care less about the characters, story, graphics, coding, or leaks. The only problem I have is the notion that People have taught them that they can make more money putting out cars and clothing, and then outrageously overpricing those items within their in game store in an effort to drive people towards buying their shark cards. I'm convinced that these years have taught them that they, and only they, can get away with such a practice without garnering some sort of hate from their fanbase, at least a substantial amount of hate that would lead them to change anything. No, I'm pretty sure this game's grind will be incredibly skewed, pricing will be such that literally FORCES people to buy Shark Cards if they want to make meaninful progression, because thus far in GTA5's timeline, no one has meaningfully made enough of a problem for them to stop, they even went so far as to put an actual Casino, that you can use to Gamble Away Your REAL Money, right in the middle of EA's Own "Gambling" INvestigation. This type of Entitlement tells me that the next entry will be even worse, and if no one says anything, the game will be trash with Microtransactions.
I think this is partially a problem the AAA industry itself created, much in the same way the poor working conditions and crunching was romanticised, most companies, Take Two especially, seem to relish in making the process behind the scenes seem magical, also reference "Bioware Magic". It's slowly changing but this kind of mystic view on the creators process the industry propagates nowadays has come back to bite them. Though to be fair some people are just super fucking dense and have no clue how anything is made. But this is something I think the industry is slowly improving on, devs being far more willing to show the strings on the puppets as it were, even before release.
Actually , people have gotten use to the idea that companies leak things themselves. Almost to the point where "leaks" and "trailers" are like saying "tomato" and "tomawto." So you can see how that level of paranoia would be problematic. Sega does this a lot , don't get me started.
7:38 Wow, what a callback to the Romaine Lettuce bros. And I can call them that because, much like romaine lettuce, they will cause you to shit your brains out just by opening their fucking mouths.
This hacker said he was "looking to make a deal" with TakeTwo, the company that sued a dev team over a game having "Take" and "Two" in it's title trying to get copyright on it (and WON somehow if I recall). Honestly I'm gonna feel sorry for the artists that actually worked on this game seeing people tear it apart in its infancy and just kick back and watch an anon hacker fight a legal warhound.
Copyright wasnt involved. It was that the name TakeTwo was trademaked, and using was a breach of that trademark. Copyright only applies to artistic output. Different IP altogether from copyright with it's own legal rules.
There's no cover art, no logo, no trailer, no real announcement of the game's existence outside of Rockstar's little press release. That in spite of those facts, those morons STILL went and assumed ANY of the leaked gameplay was final or what we would see at release is just... Sad...
As an amateur game developer myself, I feel this deeply. Showing things I’ve cobbled together to friends or family often garners the same kind of comments. “Here’s a thing I’ve been tinkering with for a week, just trying to figure out how I could pull off some mechanic, given lack of tools and I’m just one guy in my bedroom, with less than 2 hours to spare a day.” “Why isn’t it as good as a game made by 10s if not 100s of people over the course of 6+ years? It looks/plays cheap/unfinished.”
"Go Google Rockstar and woke" Thanks but I really don't need to be getting depressed any more by humanities depths of stupidity, so I will pass on gazing into that particular abyss.
"Why is there a girl character aaaaah" Because anyone who would write the above unironically is part of a group that not only *deserves* to go extinct, but that all of humanity has a moral responsibility to *make* extinct. Because people besides them exist, and pretending otherwise hurts *everyone* who actually matters. (Also I still don't like the gender they landed on, but Bridget has *always* been some sort of trans, per what *words* mean. Just because 'genderfluid' might've been better writing won't change that)
I think what I hate the most about the current GTA situation is outside of the literal scenario (the hack, etc) Seeing the dev shit is actually really fucking cool. I wish developers did put out that kind of stuff more (within limits of course) Seeing the logic boxes pop up to display what certain NPCs are doing and why is FUCKING COOL
Maybe one day we'll get to live in a world where that's the norm. I assume a lot of it doesn't happen because of the competitive nature of business and NDAs and all that. Also, the culture would need a change in attitude to match it as well, as too many people would expect stuff in early design to be there later on, when it might have to be axed.
I watched some of the footage and was literally like, “Goddamn, this looks really good even now! The attention to detail and solid animation on display… if it weren’t for the obvious placeholder stuff, I’d think I was looking at a finished product! I can’t wait to see how good it looks down the line. Like, the reaction to this is surely gonna be incredibly affirming to them that they’re on the right track!” Sigh. These fucking “fans.”
Nobody who isn't working in some form of production seems to understand the concept of a "draft", or a "work in progress", or "pre-alpha build", whatever you want to call it. You show a client something you're still working on and they immediately get upsetti spaghetti that it doesn't look like what they expect the finished product to be. This is how you lose communication, because you lose so much time and energy reassuring people that stuff is subject to change and yes, it won't have placeholder assets in it when it's done, that there's no point in showing what you're doing until it's complete.
ever since GTA4 I always said that if Rockstar/GTA was really about 'offending everyone' they would have a female protagonist, bonus point for a woman of colour. And lo and behold the worst kind of gamers are throwing fits now it's finally on the table.
the gamers™️ will lose their utter shit when they find out video games take time to make and they don't magically appear out of thin air fully finished
I have been trying to watch this for a few minutes now but I can’t stop rewinding to listen to the patreon jingle at the beginning and collapsing into giggling fits
Yeah...this is why I rarely participate in fandoms, especially not video game fandoms. The pressure to have a perfect project to begin with is so big in creative communities, or more of, communities that consume that content and it is so freaking exhausting. Not to mention, people losing their shit when any minoritiy is made the main character of a piece, these bozzos never stopping to consider that it might be written or created by said minority, just assuming it's being done to "satisfy the whiners". Hell, even some people inside these communities assume the worst without properly trying to understand where the creator is coming from (and not recognizing them as a part of the community even when they are). It's freaking exhausting and therapeutic to hear talked about.
See me I'd be grateful as a fan to have a peek under the hood of a game I like, in the same way that I get a kick out of seeing concept art and storyboards for films I like.
I remember Disney had a bunch of Marvel trailers leak. They said they were disappointed that it leaked because it didn’t represent a finished product. And I was like “we’re all adult enough to know that”
Spoiler. We’re not adult enough to know that.
It's never a good sign when a giant corporation is the voice of reason
The finished product was barely any better than the leaked footage, so it's perfectly valid to assume the final product of GTA 6 won't look much better than the leaked footage.
@@jacqli69 What? Those aren't comparable at all..? Aside from them being two different mediums, I don't know when the marvel leak happened, but GTA6 isn't due out until at least 2024. I think that assuming this is close to the final build when it's _over a year_ away from release is asinine at best.
Shocker - a LOT of work goes into video games. Who'da thunk it? /eyeroll
@@zach-rac lolz you are delusional if you believe they can polish this turd in 2-3 years
@@zach-rac Exactly. Those early early trailers of RDR2. The short "in-engine" teasers didn't look nearly as good as the final product. They looked good, but there was clear work to be done in the years up to release and it delivered in the end. To many it's still the best looking open world game unless we're comparing to a Sony exclusive like Horizon on PS5.
Y'know, as a fellow artist I can relate to the "stranger looking over your shoulder criticizing an unfinished drawing" vibe these responses reek of. I don't like Rockstar, much as I don't like any other corporate entity, but it's gotta be really annoying for the actual creators.
must we always remind voyeurs "no one asked you!!!"? apparently, yes >
I feel this too. I design and build theatre sets for a living. The dumb questions from actors on the unfinished set for rehearsals never stop and never fail to annoy the shit out of me. "This (insert some obviously unfinished, bare-wood element of the set here) is going to get painted, right?"
notice the bump mapping of the character's tank top strap on her back. the detail is insane even this early
@@projectz975 Yeah, like I'm surprised they went that detailed on models that aren't close to final. I wouldn't be surprised if they were still at chunky block/blank mannequin/GTA5 borrowed asset stage at this point
Counterpoint, AAA games are hardly art. They're corporate produced products designed to sell, not express. Also showing off early builds is a regular practice on game dev outside of AAA studios.
As an illustrator who also makes fanart for my own enjoyment between client work, god is this ever familiar.

You mean to say that people who don't have a creative bone in their body don't know how creative things are made? Le gasp!
@@thomasakagi7545 People don't know what they don't know, giving clients a run down of what your process is before you start and telling them when it's useful to have feedback on which aspects is all that's needed. It's not about having a lack of creativity, they may well be very creative but not everyone is creative at the exact same thing. Le gasp!
Anyway, taking such an adversarial attitude with clients rarely goes well.
I'm a game dev. Those lines in the leak are the ways we test our games to see where a boundary point is or create a predicted path for maybe an NPC to go. It can help to see these to test how much a game can handle or if these systems are working as expected together. It shows they're probably trying new stuff over making the same game with just new environments.
I do design work, primarily web design, and while I was watching/listening this video I was working on mockups for a website. I have a column next to the mockups that contains descriptions and notes, and I'm just imagining a client looking at that and going "man, that column totally ruins the feeling of the website", somehow missing the very obvious point that it's not a part of the website. That's basically what people are doing here. Gamers really are something else.
I was a game dev. I left it because I experience overwork, terror by my boss and overall a highly toxic environment that tried to keep me imprisoned while they also expected me to always give 200%.
TBH I was disapointed bc I set up my expectations thinking Rockstar was working on using a system like BeamNG Drive for their car model physics but that does not appear to be the case at all.
I whish they were trying new stuff like that but I am no longer hyping myself up that it will be the case...looks like just mostly same with minor tweaks.
@@memegazer It didn't even need to be on the level of BeamNG. Old technology can still be fun and impressive if it was well made and tweaked just right.
The damage didn't look too bad on GTA IV, just a bit weird when deformation got very extreme. Even in the base GTA V it isn't as bad, but if you're playing the online modes, or using mods to access update cars in single player, you might not know this. The damage is a lot more underwhelming on update cars. And with a simple mod you can also enable damage to the car's cabin, which improves it a lot too.
Driver games on the PS2 era, as bad as they could be, and with their terrible reputation (though I did enjoy Parallel Lines a lot on the PS2), had very good driving and damage models for the cars. I think, if I'm not mistaken, that cars could even split into parts, like the Bolide in BeamNG after it's update. And some PS1 racing games, like TOCA (the predecessor to GRID) already had decent mechanical damage simulation (hell, talking about PS1, they even had a first-person camera and WORKING MIRRORS).
Just add some small features, tweak the damage well, code some basic animation modifier for if the cabin gets dented in a way it would go where the character model sits (I mean, they had the tools I believe, like with some stuff we saw in GTA IV. Euphoria has a lot of potential), and it could look amazing while still being much lighter than Beam (do remember that even on more powerful CPUs, that game still can't handle that many cars at once. I haven't tested the simplified traffic with the new update yet, I hope my PC can handle a decent amount of traffic now).
@@rodsk8dude731
Still though...vehicle deformation tech has progressed...but it does not look like Rockstar is keeping up imo.
Sure it is my own fault for hyping myself up that they would...but there is little doubt to my mind that the devs at Rockstar don't know about the new standard either but choose to ignore it.
“Gamers are angry at something stupid”

The dude who leaked this better be cowering in a bunker somewhere. Take two is a company that once sent literal hired goons to a GTA V mod developers house to try and scare him into stopping development of his mod. They are probably calling up some private army right now to get the hit squad ready.
The guy needs a gun. Badly. To shoot these guys if they dare to harass him. Make it known that trespassing and refusal to comply will permit the stand you ground action. That's the only chance of defense. And if they breka in, bloodbath ensues.
Hired goons?
@@23Scadu Yup. A modder of GTA5 had large men in suits and a black vehicle pull up to his home and intimidate him into stopping modding instead of properly go through legal channels for a cease and desist.

@@23Scadu Don't worry I got your reference :)
I think the idea of a Bonnie and Clyde adventure sounds interesting. It's a fresh new premise for GTA which has been getting a little stale and it's surprising that there hasn't been more games using that kinda plot.
agreed.
GTA4 was good change for the series I Think they have done a good job to keep each one fresh.
ah, someone with a good mind 🙂
yeah i also like the premise of a bonnie and clyde adventure , and i agree with you gta has been getting damn stale.
The only example of the top of my head, at least from relatively recent games, is that AC, set in Britain.
@@myhvKun Assassin's Creed Odyssey gave us a choice between male and female characters.
Imagine how smooth your brain must be to get mad at a pre-alpha build of a game because of the graphics. It would be like getting mad at a novelist for the quality of their writing when they're halfway done with their rough draft.
I prefer to look at it like pointing at a bowl of flour, and calling it a shitty cake.
I mean, given GTA 5's player base, a lot of those comments are presumably from literal children whose brains haven't fully developed yet.
Some people really don't understand how game development works. They think the previous finished game is the starting point for work on the new title. In reality every new game is made from scratch (you can reuse some assets and code, but still..)
@@HeadsFullOfEyeballs That's my very hopefully take on this as well.
Getting mad that in-dev builds look like ass is like going behind the curtains mid-show at a theatre then getting mad nobody's in character.
"But we live in an age where for some people being unhappy with a videogame is actually more fun than enjoying a videogame"
Holy hell did somebody need to say that! Thank you!
Holy hypocrisy Batman.
I actually like enjoying games it just has become that much harder to do so.
I literally went from having owning a game that was fully playable (Bloody Roar/Tekken), to games that come with feature cut to be put in dlc (Dynasty Warriors, Sims), to single player games with micro transactions (AC Valhalla, Watch dogs legion), to the final form of games literally making new games out of old game assets and calling it something new #with microtransactions# (Pokemon/Fallout 76)
I guess that makes whatever I enjoy become a treat, but also makes finding a game I want that much harder. The part that kills me is how Nintendo used to be a company that hated low quality games on their system. To now having a whole system that's purely playing ports and emulations and selling them for full price. Just watching the last Nintendo direct gave me brain worms.
Games have become less about art and what not and every console/PC game has went the mobile root of over saturation at the cost of quality. I dunno when selection has began to trump quality but now a days that's the focus.
“All the self-awareness of a *particularly* comatose pebble” is a brilliant descriptive phrase. Kudos to anyone involved in thinking that up!
That's a jim line all the way.
This just shows how little people understand the insane amount of work goes into any sort of development.
Non-developers just think this stuff magically makes itself
i can totally agree with your post.
i have a bit of experience in development myself and it is absolutely NOT a magical-make-ik-by-thinking-it kind of thing 🙂
Even as a developer, although not a game developer, video game design work, which is a decent part of the shit complained about here, might as well be magic.
It helps to remember that "the gamers" are still typically males aged 15-19 and the average age of people buying games is about 35.
It's a perpetually-renewing emotionally disregulated, entitled and naive demographic.
@@Grizabeebles good point, i'm glad that by being 50+, i am past those demographics.
I mean honestly I don't think it's just game development, I don't think these people have ever made *anything*. Like painting, animation, music, pottery, wordworking, literally any project that takes more than an afternoon. Just anything to have any conception that some things take time to make and often look very bad in the interim stages.
I love how having a main character option that represents +-50% of the global population is “woke” now. I still don’t believe these people are real; it comes across as trolling across the board.
All i hope is that they make the female the main protagonist, not a character creation option or a "token female," alongside the " token black guy. "
Then we can all drink of the nasty little goblins' salty tears of impotent rage 😂
most of it isn't. Didn't it essentially get proved years ago that there's a direct pipeline from 'gamer rage' into alt-right terror organizations? Which are themselves orchestrated by Russia and China as part of a continuing global power game.
Much of it takes place on twitter, a platform so innundated by bots that the organization responsible for it has stopped attempting to deal with them because of how hard doing so would hit their ad revenue streams. Another portion takes place on reddit and similar platforms, where pride themselves on being anonymous and therefor easily manipulated for pennies on the dollar.
as long as they don't make it a fucking cringe fest that puts down men and it has a male protagonist also I'm good
@@delano6572 Bless you... the previous gta games invested quite a bit of time "putting down" women (treating them like stereotypical whores, strippers or scolds), and ALWAYS featured a male protagonist, so don't worry your pretty little head, I doubt Rockstar will have changed their tune too much. They'll still be diverse and inclusive for people like you.
And if they don't... Well, it's not like there's not a million other games with muscular white men saving the day for you to drool over. 🤣
Simply acknowledging that things exist is "woke" to these fools.
i honestly didnt even know there was...discourse...around the leaked footage. i watched a bit of it, went, "yeah, that looks like early development footage, and that looks like a GTA game, oh well," and went back to doing whatever it was i was doing at the time. i have no idea what kind of smooth brained idiot do you have to be to think that was what release gameplay would look like. its like, every few months i realize i'm not actually as dumb as i thought, it's a strange feeling

Honestly glad you at least mentioned Bridget. I had actually expected (until today) that you'd do a video on how Bridget had been confirmed by the GGS creator as being officially trans female, how members of the "community" tried so many mental gymnastics as to say how they were still a guy and, when the official word came out, how that same "community" just decided to drop all pretenses and went into full mask-off transphobia.
It felt fitting for an episode of the Jimquisition. Still, this was a great episode and popping a reference to it was still satisfying. A little dessert after the main course.
I found the way they handled Bridget disappointing. Imho they were a better trans representative before.
Though it was proly easier to be fixated on a characters gonads over writing a story about the struggle of rejecting and defying the role society imposes on said character.
You can understand why they were frustrated though. Femboy representation is even less prevalent than trans representation. And with Bridget's whole.... forced femininity angle being a bit problematic, I can see why some people would reject that statement.

@@kallemetsahalme5701 I agree, though I feel like the difference in audience is due to expectation. I think for a long time, the professional video games industry was so opaque about its production cycles that a lot of people see it as a black box out of which finished products "poof" into existence. Indie/fan development has a more established tendency to be transparent about the rough spots of game development. For a lot of people this probably causes them to equate roughness as a necessary corollary to indie development rather than a common thread between the two.

I'm excited for the day when -- much like fundamentalist religious people -- the "anti-sjw" crowd has placed so much culture into the woke-heresy bin that they are stuck without any videogames, movies, books, or TV shows to enjoy. They just have to sit in the dark reading the old testament (Jesus was a bit of an SJW defending that sex worker, having long hair, hating on people for making a profit so no new testament allowed) and occasionally shouting "WOKE!" to no one like an elderly dog barking at an imagined mail truck.
I mean, it already has begun to become like this. These people are literally turning into these old people from all the 70ies, and 80ies movies that shout "Hippies!" at everything and everybody who irritate them for some reason while looking out of their windows. The only thing that has changed is that they use a different word, but they behave exactly like these caricatures of old, bitter people from back in the day.

They like politics just not anything they disagree with
@@SpaceSkeletonDragon Yep. And the easiest way to understand this without needing to delve into specifics for a specific game is it's because every piece of media is political and always has been. People can try to make stuff cutesy and shallow to avoid an explicit political stance, but even that is taking a stance in itself in what it chooses to focus on. There is no being impartial.

"there are so many flaws in this". Ah yes, GTA, the series with games known for being flawless and bug-free.
Looking forward to more fun with Sprunk!
The main games, gta 5 and Red Dead really are polished to hell. It's only the sh*tty port of the trilogy that wasn't even done by rockstar, they got a 3rd party to do it.
How anyone can judge pre alpha footage of a game is beyond me though. We should only take positives fron this footage of potential gameplay and nothing else. Even yhis gameplay will change massivly.
Anyone seriously reviewing the game based on this footage is an absoloute moron
I liked the Bridget "reveal" and the fact that you included a FFXIV character glamour image as well.
Considering how much you've used the phrase, I was genuinely surprised that the Jimporium doesn't yet offer "The Fanbase Is Fucking Exhausting" t-shirts. I for one would be happy to wear one.
Had a friend call wokeness over GTA having a female playable character. There's a reason I said "had". There's a lot of reasons to hate rockstar. A. LOT. OF. REASONS. but this is very much not one of 'em.
I must admit, I’ve grown to appreciate The Gamers’ stupid rage. As someone who has struggled with self-confidence issues throughout their life, I can always look at those man-children and remember that all my flaws are trivial in comparison to theirs. 😀
How could you not those ‘people’ effectively wastes of functional organs.
Indeed. I am an abject failure and fuck up in all things "life", but hey, at least I'm not as bad as those guys.... And yes. They're all guys. Men. Well, boys, rather. We know this as fact.

@@tyrongkojy Of course it's men, it's ALWAYS men being the trash of all online spaces.
At the very least they're consistent
A Bonnie-and-Clyde type scenario had already been rumoured. Sounds pretty good actually
I agree. Having (what I assume will be) a romantic relationship between the two playable characters that you can switch between sounds like a really interesting dynamic.
One of the leaked videos if basically the opening scene of Pulp Fiction in gameplay.
If it's a Bonnie and Clyde story, I'll fucking buy it. It'll by first fucking GTA
A Bonnie and Clyde story would be a great vehicle to move the story across the country RDR2 style too, which could be great
If there is no way to play with a male character; not worth it. Also, it is known that the game is going to be WOKE, and I am in favor of everyone being ridiculed for trying to defend such things.
Speaking as an animation student, I'm sick to the back teeth of people complaining when early footage doesn't look good. Trying to animate anything with all the effects and shaders and final textures are active is EXHAUSTING and ends up slowing the whole process down. There's a reason we leave the fancy stuff to last, and it's so we can focus on getting the base elements down and working.
And this is coming from a student, it's going to be so much more complex for an actual professional project.
Edit: spelling
I was gonna say doesnt every game look crap until the last year of dev time?
Why would you impliment character models you dont know will be final?
Why would you put shaders and lighting in when the customers not gonna see it?
I'm with you buddy. Not an animation student, but I began self teaching with Blender last year. My project has come a long way and I release monthly progress footage for friends and family to see, but something I get is "You should make the character's face move" and "why don't the fingers move?"
My guys, please for the love of god! Animation takes a ridiculous amount of time and without planning forwards, any work you do can be utterly and completely useless just by virtue of a few things changing in the scene. I learned this the hard way when my rough animation was all done off the top of my head, then when the time came to polish it and I had more experience under my belt I realised just how much more interesting it could be and had to redo half the crap all over again. Never finalise anything until the time has come to, y'know, finalise.
@@markbaker4425 This, this and this! It's not meant to be pretty, it's meant to be practical.

As a guilty gear player, that Bridget bit got me good
Is it true?
I often wonder how much it will take for “gamers” to realize that gamer culture is inherently toxic.
Getting angry over what someone says in a review is one thing. Threatening a developer over delaying a game is another.
It’s another thing ENTIRELY to have seething, lunatic-inspired anger over a pre alpha build.
Are gamers really that bored with nothing to look forward to in life?! Find a lady. Get some training or education. Make a life worth living. It’s worth it.
Doubt there's much to look forward to in general nowadays. I've certainly nothing to look forward to outside of the odd game release. Doesn't make it an excuse to throw abuse at developers over absolutely nothing.
There's no sign that "gamers" will ever get to that realization. It's been like this for at least a decade and seems to only get worse every year.
I will spoil this for everyone. There is always a part of a fanbase that is toxic and sends death threats. The unfortunate reality that sending death threats isn’t even unique to the gaming industry. How many famous people have had death threats and stalkers? Anything with a fanbase will have its toxic 1%.
Every time I look outside I don't see a lady, I don't see anything. I'm trapped in my childhood home a type 1 diabetic with ADHD and borderline Asperger's that can't hold a job and flunked out of a community College twice. For me it's either video games or the noose. But still threatening devs and being pissy about LGTBQ people is just fucking pathetic
There are toxic aspects to subgroups of people who play games, but to say that "gamer culture" is toxic misses the point.
There are different groups of people who play games, and they come from different backgrounds & internet subcultures. You have to criticize yhose subcultures, and not lump all people who play games as a whole.
I'd said it before but I'll say it again - "Keep politics out of games" really means "Keep only MY politics in game."
they were really silent about that clown who got himself banned off steam for crying his weird politics in patch notes.
The sad thing is having female protagonists in games shouldn't even been seen as "political" it should just be the norm... I mean you could play a female protagonist in the saints row series and no one complained.. but heaven forfend you play a game with a dedicated female protagonist.. 🙄

Mature people's first instinct is to feel bad for the devs and artists working on the ground floor, and how this will impact them mentally.
Immature people's first instinct is to critique the game based on that leak, and celebrate the leaks as poetic justice.
Yes you can still criticize corporate f*cks, but cmon. Who do these leaks hurt most, truly? As we've seen by the internets response, that answer is CLEAR.
I disagree partially. The source code leak will hurt the company the most. Huge idiocy from the people judging the team and coders for what a leaked pre-alpha looks like but i feel that the biggest harm, from what i've seen myself, has been on the company.
how much is this supposed to hurt the devs? they have been getting paid for their work.
what hurt the devs is the years of crunch, the frat-like mentality, the sexual abuse and psychological abuse that Rockstar execs and HR have subject them for years, and I'm pretty sure they didn't go there for nor have been compensated for that.
@@endless2239 Seeing the type of outrage presented here for the project you're spending your time creating does add extra mental stress upon a person, which is just yet another layer on the bullshit they deal with from corporate greed and the industry crap as a whole. So I would say yes, this still will affect the devs mentally.
How will it impact them mentally? Genuinely curious. I don't think I'd particularly care if the stuff I work on at work got leaked.
@@shawnpenny4569 In my experience, if you work for a big company and you actually care about the project you're spending your time on, you will mostly experience stress over the incompetent management staff who does everything in their power to prevent you from improving the product. People being outraged about a development build not having perfect graphics would be pretty low on my lost.
Imagine these people's reactions if they saw leaked footage of Breath of the Wild back when they were using 8 bit Zelda as a testing ground
The funny part is that it would have been foregotten after 2014 e3 trailer

@@sheepthehack i don't know you are a talking about, they were using the original zelda graphics, in a 3d engine, but with only top down graphics to test the new mechanics, nintendo devs are this fucking amazing, like , they made the game fun in 2d before even starting to develop in 3d, that is putting gameplay over graphics to the extreme
@@jamesrule1338 it was officially shown before. I think it was at GDC or something. Its not hard to look up.

I'm sure there's a number of people just happy that GTAVI is not only real, but fairly far into development as those videos can attest. Not too far, but far enough to make it look like a game is slowly but surely coming together.
Further than you think, yes the graphics have a LONG way to go but the gameplay is there and solid. Mainly talking about the ai and the shooting. So excited to see how realistic police interactions feel
Rockstar is so good that they make the gta 6 pre alpha footage which mind you was recorded a year ago still looks more complete than the average Ubisoft game
The leaked videos were taken at least a year ago
I would have preferred a PS6 remaster of GTAV.
My big hope for GTAVI is they show no mercy towards conservatives when it comes to parodying them.
Like I want it to be a feature that if you shoot someone with a red hat, they'll have different voice lines like "They is dun tryin to censor me!" and "Oh dear Festus! (GTA's Trump) Save me with your warm and long and throbbin embrace!" along with other things similar to that.
"...for some people, being unhappy with a video game is actually more fun than enjoying a video game."
So true both for gaming and many aspects of life! It's vitriol for the sake of vitriol. It's hot take, "I'm so edgy, bro," culture with no serious thought (and even less research) given to an issue.
According to ppl like this:

There are two religions: "Christian" and Political

I genuinely feel bad for the developers and artists involved with Rockstar. Capital-G gamers are insufferable and abusive, and the suits in charge of Rockstar are even worse. This leak is going to create an untenable situation for the most vulnerable on two fronts.
With that said, it is satisfying to see Take-Two get bopped on the nose, but I know in my heart of hearts that it’ll just wind up passing its fears, anger and insecurities onto the workforce, and most of the vocal fans won’t bother to train their crosshairs on this.
You remind me of the elephant man reciting the alphabet backwards.
"i gEnUiNeLy fEeL BaD FoR" the millions of people who purchased the dogshit that is the "remastered" editions of Vice City and San Andreas, as well as those duped into buying the "enhanced" edition of Grand Theft Auto 5, which were nothing more than defective products upon release.
I don't give a single fuck about a conglomeration that has, per co-founder and former employee Jamie King, worked employees into the ground for seemingly little pay off.
Rockstar is the same company that has threatened multi-million lawsuits against individuals who have made car mods. I'm not talking about individuals who are looking to ruin the online game for others or damage Rockstar's concurrent licenses. No, Rockstar threatening lawsuits against individuals for creating single-player car mods (i.e., the lawsuits surrounding GTA 4's Ballad of Gay Tony).
Fuck 'em.
Gamers, especially young ones today, have been conditioned for years that footage of completed games, two weeks from release are somehow still pre-alpha. Just to be able to exercise the "It's still alpha" excuse. So when gamers actually see alpha/pre-alpha footage, their brains get blown because that actually looks like messy, unfinished stuff.
And now it comes back and bite Take two in the ass a bit
Rockstar also had reports of seeing improvement in there work culture before this leak happened so I wonder how much this has affected it considering that they'll probably have to delay the game now to resolve any problems this issue creates, are we gonna end up hearing the same crunch stories that we heard for pretty much every other rockstar game before this?
@@johan13135 "somehow still pre-alpha" That's because too many trailers nowadays claim to be pre-alpha in little text disclaimers alongside "footage not final" even though the footage was clearly prioritized for the sake of throwing something to the wolves, so people get skewed expectations that companies bring on themselves, and then they turn around and act shocked when people react negatively to REAL pre-alpha footage.
O yeah, if Rockstar culture was Orwellian BEFORE the leak. . . .
The source code beeing made public would allow modders to bypass the predatory Sharkcards economy of GTA Online and it's future incarnation and any microtransactions that are sure to infest GTA 6, wich i'm guessing is what is really making execs furious.
My understanding that the actual amount of code that leaked is about 10k lines of code, which wouldn't be significant enough to bypass anything I imagine. The problem is more the fact that the leak happened in the first place which is probably going to stop things as a security review is done.
@@erdalguclu Depend what these 10k lines are, if it's related to the engine then even GTA 5 modding may become easier.
I understand the general hatred towards microtransactions but I think that R star charging a very transparent price for a product is ok if people want to buy it. They kept updating thier game very regularly for 9 years. Between buyers and sellers its seems like a mutual agreement
@@erdalguclucurrently about 10k lines are leaked, but the hacker claims to have the full source code, which he is trying to sell afaik.
@@Darkflo23 On one hand it's true with regards to understanding how the game works under the hood.
On the other hand unless the code is exposed through API calls the modders it won't be directly useable.
At work and forgot my headphones. “Nah, it’ll be fine” I says to myself.
The pre-alpha footage actually got me excited for GTA VI. Like it's genuinely impressive.
Also, the male protagonist (Jason?) having the most Florida man earring ever has me hyped. This is gonna be the most Florida game ever Florida'd and I'm so happy
And you can rob Waffle House
It was the same with the new Saints Row, where the character from the trailer (in a game where you can play as anyone you want) was deemed woke because of her hairstyle. Nothing can shock me now, honestly.
GTA having a female protagonist is actually on top of my wish list
Probably about the only thing about the whole incident that actually caught my interest. If the new instalment plays like Vice City with a female protagonist and a native Linux version, I might actually consider buying it.
People have no realistic expectations for media anymore. "Woke" as a label doesn't mean anything because people pick the most insignificant thing to justify why they don't like something, while overlooking massively progressive themes in the stuff they like.

In my first foray into game development, I opened Unity, made a shiny ball, put it on a 2D plane, typed in some code to give it directional control to move on said plane, and when I tried to run the game, it promptly crashed.
2 hours later I discovered I had typed an 'x' in the code when it was supposed to have been an 'X'. I quit and never tried making a game ever again.
I look at this alpha footage and cannot imagine how much tedious, boring, agonizing work must have gone into it to make it look this good and this functional. Whoever is complaining about it is an idiot.
Autobahn Police Simulator is one of my favourite Jimpressions, good job Justin.
The hacker was some random 16 year old. It amazes me how shit the security is at these billion dollar corporations.
Tbf most billion dollar corporations got there at least partly by cutting corners, especially nowadays. Wouldn’t be surprised if they cut security shortly before all this
And the dude is currently trying to Extort like 100,000 dollars from Rockstar as well..... this kid is somehow gonna be more fucked then Rittenhouse
Usually its not corporate security... its a home internet security issue with everyone working from home. The weakest point now is the home Wifi routers.
Having dealt with large corporates, I’m not.
Hope he understands which company he's fucked with. Take Two isn't just legally aggressive, they've literally hired scary looking dudes to intimidate people at they're home for far less than this (true thing that happened to a GTA V mod developer). God knows what lengths they will go on something of this magnitude.

This incident proves why game developers almost never share any info about how a game is actually made.
Let's put some extra respect on Bridget~ It's been a long journey and Bridget is OG (along with Birdo).
Loved the Bridget punchline.
“Who knows what will happen between now and the video’s publication.”
They aren’t wrong considering how the information has spilt about the hacker being 16 years old (to which the line of “I can’t believe how viral this got,” line suddenly makes a whole lot more sense).
So yeah, we’ll see what kind of fallout could happen but that isn’t stopping many from apparently “prejudging” a game that hasn’t been announced yet (much less has a release window of anything, anytime soon).
I might be mistaken, but I vaguely feel like JS stopped saying “Thank God for me!” at the end of videos for a while. Glad to hear it back in videos again!
I think you're right.
Back then it had restrain and clever writing to make you think about it and let you form your opinion but now it's "this what you should be saying and thinking about because if you don't your all this ist, ism and phobes". The reason why they're like this now (including me) is because we're caught on and had enough of this bullshit. Remember We're in a different time with different rules then what it was back then. I just hope we can get back to the way things were.

As a writer, the culture wars scare me. Don't include any LGBTQ+ characters, I get called exclusionary. Include them, I get called woke. But if I'm gonna catch flak either way I may as well do it while doing the right thing. If my stories can benefit from a gay character, they get one. It's ultimately all in service of artistic expression and cultural evolution, not chasing the approval of a bunch of snowflakes. I hope the games industry takes this stance too, that if a story needs telling, just tell it. Creatives serve a cause these basement dwelling perma-angry psychologically impaired whiners will never comprehend. Rise above them and tell your stories, games industry. Whether that's putting women in GTA or a trans character into the next Elden Ring. It's your story. Tell it your way.

Upsetting those that whinge about diversity is a victory to feel good over. Their ilk squirm in very pleasing ways and most of them are ultimately too soft to pose a real threat.
It’s funny because GTA always mocked anyone from the ladder but now that they take something out it’s a big deal? Lol poor dudebros.
You know what I'd like to see in GTA 6? A female character living a successful but boring life (husband, 2 kids, high paying but boring job, etc) who gets caught up in some serious crime (like armed robbery) and impulsively decides to help the robbers.
From that point on, she has to juggle keeping up her appearances in her boring, normal life with keeping the robbers happy or they'll out her to the cops. They know how to erase their tracks, she doesn't.
That do sound intriguing!
Curious what kinda impulses lead to her helping.
@@youtubeuniversity3638 Simple boredom. Her life has always been safe and secure. When she finally gets caught up in something exciting, her heart reacts before her brain can stop it.
This premise could lead to all sorts of interesting scenarios. Some funny, some dark, some deadly serious. Perhaps over the course of the story she learns to be a better criminal, culminating in her going on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge against the robbers to get out from under their thumbs. Or maybe she goes to the FIB, lays out what happened, attempts to do the right thing, only to find out the cops are just as corrupt.
Just about the only story beat I wouldn't want to see is her 'falling for' one of the robbers and that being the reason she 'turns to the dark side.' That kind of storyline partially robs her of her agency and plays into sexist stereotypes. I'm fine with sexist stereotypes for NPC's, but I'd hope the devs would treat a main character better than that.
Maybe I’m wrong, but when Pokemon Crystal came out and you could play as a female character for the first time, it was praised and everyone was happy about it. Wild how times have changed, it was probably the internet that did it.
OH MY GOOD THE FOOT FUNGUS GOBLIN!! I HALF THOUGHT IT WAS A NIGHTMARE FROM MY CHILDHOOD! Formative horror experience seeing that commercial as a kid, but I've never seen it mentioned since. Not sure how to feel about that having re-entered my life.
honestly, I couldn't care less about the characters, story, graphics, coding, or leaks.
The only problem I have is the notion that People have taught them that they can make more money putting out cars and clothing, and then outrageously overpricing those items within their in game store in an effort to drive people towards buying their shark cards. I'm convinced that these years have taught them that they, and only they, can get away with such a practice without garnering some sort of hate from their fanbase, at least a substantial amount of hate that would lead them to change anything.
No, I'm pretty sure this game's grind will be incredibly skewed, pricing will be such that literally FORCES people to buy Shark Cards if they want to make meaninful progression, because thus far in GTA5's timeline, no one has meaningfully made enough of a problem for them to stop, they even went so far as to put an actual Casino, that you can use to Gamble Away Your REAL Money, right in the middle of EA's Own "Gambling" INvestigation. This type of Entitlement tells me that the next entry will be even worse, and if no one says anything, the game will be trash with Microtransactions.
For a bunch of gamers, they sure don’t understand how the game-making process works, but what else could I expect from these sorts of people.
I think this is partially a problem the AAA industry itself created, much in the same way the poor working conditions and crunching was romanticised, most companies, Take Two especially, seem to relish in making the process behind the scenes seem magical, also reference "Bioware Magic". It's slowly changing but this kind of mystic view on the creators process the industry propagates nowadays has come back to bite them. Though to be fair some people are just super fucking dense and have no clue how anything is made.
But this is something I think the industry is slowly improving on, devs being far more willing to show the strings on the puppets as it were, even before release.
Most people don't care how the sauce is made as long as they get it is all that matters.
That tiara throw was gold.
Actually , people have gotten use to the idea that companies leak things themselves.
Almost to the point where "leaks" and "trailers" are like saying "tomato" and "tomawto."
So you can see how that level of paranoia would be problematic.

This hacker said he was "looking to make a deal" with TakeTwo, the company that sued a dev team over a game having "Take" and "Two" in it's title trying to get copyright on it (and WON somehow if I recall). Honestly I'm gonna feel sorry for the artists that actually worked on this game seeing people tear it apart in its infancy and just kick back and watch an anon hacker fight a legal warhound.
Copyright wasnt involved. It was that the name TakeTwo was trademaked, and using was a breach of that trademark. Copyright only applies to artistic output. Different IP altogether from copyright with it's own legal rules.
There's no cover art, no logo, no trailer, no real announcement of the game's existence outside of Rockstar's little press release.
That in spite of those facts, those morons STILL went and assumed ANY of the leaked gameplay was final or what we would see at release is just... Sad...
As an amateur game developer myself, I feel this deeply. Showing things I’ve cobbled together to friends or family often garners the same kind of comments.
“Here’s a thing I’ve been tinkering with for a week, just trying to figure out how I could pull off some mechanic, given lack of tools and I’m just one guy in my bedroom, with less than 2 hours to spare a day.”
“Why isn’t it as good as a game made by 10s if not 100s of people over the course of 6+ years? It looks/plays cheap/unfinished.”
Talk about finding an itch to scratch. Willingly ignoring the 2 years of development time left in the game's creation just to complain.

I think what I hate the most about the current GTA situation is outside of the literal scenario (the hack, etc)
Seeing the dev shit is actually really fucking cool. I wish developers did put out that kind of stuff more (within limits of course)
Seeing the logic boxes pop up to display what certain NPCs are doing and why is FUCKING COOL
Maybe one day we'll get to live in a world where that's the norm. I assume a lot of it doesn't happen because of the competitive nature of business and NDAs and all that. Also, the culture would need a change in attitude to match it as well, as too many people would expect stuff in early design to be there later on, when it might have to be axed.
"all the awareness of a particularly comatose pebble" that one just fucking hit different.
I watched some of the footage and was literally like, “Goddamn, this looks really good even now! The attention to detail and solid animation on display… if it weren’t for the obvious placeholder stuff, I’d think I was looking at a finished product! I can’t wait to see how good it looks down the line. Like, the reaction to this is surely gonna be incredibly affirming to them that they’re on the right track!”
Sigh. These fucking “fans.”
yeah, it already has a finished sheen of detail
"particularly comatosed pubble" had me laughing out loud. Great phrase!
So does this leak count as "Grand Theft Grand Theft Auto"?
that's a decent joke. i'll give you that much.
i see what u did there
"The Cassandra of video games" hits the nail on its fucking head. Perfect
Nobody who isn't working in some form of production seems to understand the concept of a "draft", or a "work in progress", or "pre-alpha build", whatever you want to call it. You show a client something you're still working on and they immediately get upsetti spaghetti that it doesn't look like what they expect the finished product to be. This is how you lose communication, because you lose so much time and energy reassuring people that stuff is subject to change and yes, it won't have placeholder assets in it when it's done, that there's no point in showing what you're doing until it's complete.
ever since GTA4 I always said that if Rockstar/GTA was really about 'offending everyone' they would have a female protagonist, bonus point for a woman of colour. And lo and behold the worst kind of gamers are throwing fits now it's finally on the table.
the gamers™️ will lose their utter shit when they find out video games take time to make and they don't magically appear out of thin air fully finished
I have been trying to watch this for a few minutes now but I can’t stop rewinding to listen to the patreon jingle at the beginning and collapsing into giggling fits
Fantastic video. Really thought the gamersTM would be better and they're not and their meltdown is hilarious.
Yeah...this is why I rarely participate in fandoms, especially not video game fandoms. The pressure to have a perfect project to begin with is so big in creative communities, or more of, communities that consume that content and it is so freaking exhausting. Not to mention, people losing their shit when any minoritiy is made the main character of a piece, these bozzos never stopping to consider that it might be written or created by said minority, just assuming it's being done to "satisfy the whiners". Hell, even some people inside these communities assume the worst without properly trying to understand where the creator is coming from (and not recognizing them as a part of the community even when they are). It's freaking exhausting and therapeutic to hear talked about.
See me I'd be grateful as a fan to have a peek under the hood of a game I like, in the same way that I get a kick out of seeing concept art and storyboards for films I like.
