Full details here: https://www.thesixthaxis.com/2019/0...TaSEX8Gd7KKBp72nJIgG1vpU_3TAZ40a2ZtfF8f6tKNw8

A summary of info from the article:
  • It's another Rockstar Worldwide Production.
  • Codename is PROJECT AMERICAS.
  • Some linear missions take place in Liberty City, but it isn't an open world (think Ludendorff in GTA 5).
  • Game will balance realism and arcade and it won't be as realistic as Red Dead Redemption 2.
  • You play as an up and coming drug lord-wannabe named "Ricardo". Another key character called "Kacey" is a part of the narrative. You start off as a grunt doing runs as a cocaine smuggler from Vice City to the new large South American area before making connections with big time drug lords and making your way up. Multiple cities.
  • There will also be a giant prison which will play a part in the game.
  • Will feature a 'chapter' system similar to a Tarantino flick or Red Dead Redemption 2.
  • Weather is a heavy focus (hurricanes, floods, etc).
  • Buildings change over the eras, vehicles too. So older, rare classic cars get more expensive as time progresses etc. Full economy.
  • They want to have an incredible 70s/80s soundtrack.
  • A younger Martin Madrazo will make an appearance as will his father who is a big drug lord at the time. You do some missions for the Madrazo family involving hits on other gangs.
  • Drug empire building is a mechanic similar to Vice City Stories but bigger. Think the GTA Online system and dial it up to 10.
  • You can only have weapons on your person. No arsenal in your back pocket, like Red Dead Redemption 2.
  • Your personal vehicle will be like your horse saddle in Red Dead Redemption 2. All your equipment is stored in the trunk. You also store your body armour in the car. If you wear it, it appears, no longer just an invisible thing.
  • There will be tons of subtitle reading. Think Max Payne 3 amounts, very immersive, like watching an episode of Narcos. Whenever you're in South America, don't expect to hear much English. Vice City however is a mix of everything, but mostly English.
  • It will discuss topics such as HIV and the immigration crisis of the time. A fictional version of Fidel Castro etc.
  • Game is still in Pre-Alpha so names, locations, details could and probably will change.

Omitted from the SixthAxis link, but present in the original GamesRadar. Rumoured for a release no earlier than 2021 - though more realistically 2022 or 2023.

You need to change that title from "Report:" to "Most likely fake rumor:"

Jason hinting that it's bullshit is enough for me

How is another male protagonist an incredible-sounding bullet point though.

If it's fake that means the female MC dream for a Rockstar game is still alive, so I sure as shit hope it is

Last year I was told this is at least five years out. Don't have any specific details, but it is a LONG way out...

Rewritten more clearly from that reddit 'leak' and removed the RDR2 spoiler? I'm still not believing it.

There is no chance in hell, that a Grand Theft Auto game will ever be placed anywhere except the US so this is 100% bullshit.

I don't believe that they'll ever have any part of GTA take place outside of the US in any substantial way like this claims.

This series is firmly a mockery of US society especially in the post GTA 3 era.

Yeah, frankly nothing of this sounds particularly incredible by Rockstar's standards.
There are a couple of features listed that sound fairly time consuming and budget intensive, but it's not like they aren't generally known to spare any work when it comes to their flagship franchise, anyway.

Lol, I love that the original leak said "They want to have an incredible 70s/80s soundtrack, but the jury is still out on that one".

Why would the "jury be out" on whether they'd have a 70s/80s soundtrack for a game set in the 70s and 80s? Just proves how much BS this 'leak' is.

The article refers to the same Reddit rumor post/s and as we locked the previous thread, we've opted to lock this one as well.
