        Rockstar Gaming disapproves

        Yeah they treated it really bad and the cheaters were everywhere and toxic playerbase is not really good.

        And after i looked up how gta online handles serverside/clientside code, i can understand how easy it is just to cheat.

          yeah, basically everything is p2p from my understanding. and the anticheat is basically nonexistent (technically a good thing for linux gaming).

            Oh, it’s not just P2P. There are ways to make P2P networking work, but GTAO has several inherent networking flaws.

            One of them is that a client is understandably responsible for computing things around it (pedestrians etc). This is fine in itself but what if two people meet and one leaves? What happens to the things it was computing?

            Well, clients can send a packet that means “don’t worry I got it from here” that they can send to other clients to tell them that from now on, they will be the one computing a specific thing. Non-hacked clients are programmed to always agree. No matter what the thing is.

            Unrelated, here are a few example of the types of things that are affected by this:

            • pedestrians
            • NPC cars
            • various props
            • empty cars
            • cars with other players in them
            • other player’s avatars (which are considered special pedestrians)
            • various item pickups
            • vehicles other than cars
            • various scripts that have to do with single-player interactions, such as the casino wheel, slots, biker gang actions, etc.

            This means that as a hacker, you get to decide what happens with the car somebody is driving, and change whatever attributes you want about it.

            Note that this also means that any client is free to spawn any of the above items at any point, including the money bags spawned by tellers when you rob them (R* does do some checks when you tell them your new account balance but it’s really not that hard to bypass). Any client is also free to change anything about these items. Color, license plate, engine upgrades, hell, even straight up engine variables. And other clients have to accept that that happened, because that’s how the protocol is written.

            This is just for regular stuff though. Hackers can already massively affect the game this way but there is some stuff they can’t do. Until they become the most senior client of the session (for example by crashing anyone more senior than them through various exploits - patched in their own clients of course).

            Being the oldest client in a session means you become the script host, and when you’re script host, you unlock additional things that everyone agrees are your responsibility, such as what time of day and weather it is. Overall being script host isn’t that desirable because it doesn’t grant stuff that is really strong, just stuff that has wide impact (for example I think the script host has the capacity to make it winter anytime, but it’s just not that funny to do that after the 2nd time).

            Ther is no point in not cheating in gta5 online. You either grind like a motherfucker or you buy shark cards that are expensive as fuck. Why not cheat abd if you get banned you buy the game again, because it’s still cheaper.

      Uh, it looks similar to GTA5 because it is the SEQUEL… The graphics and detail are amazing, GTA5 will probably feel like PS2 graphics when this is out.

      Sure it’s just a trailer and no gameplay but if the trailer uses the games graphics engine this is incredibly impressive.

      70€ for hundreds or thousands of hours of entertainment is a pretty damn good deal. Compare that to a ticket at the cinema for 2 hours.

        I would not say its hundreds or thousands of hours? 30 hours max for GTA V for my “playthrough” and Online is not usable for coop or anything else then shitting on new users. But i was never a fan of GTA so you can be more hyped than me.

          That is a ridiculous amount of time to put into a game. And completely impractical and shouldn’t be considered a selling point. Thousands of hours probably but Jesus relax.

          RDR2 is so massively detailed and open that frankly I think that game is worth HUNDREDS of hours of gameplay. Two years in and I’m still finding new things to do. I agree I didn’t spend that long with V outside of the main story given how little there is to do, but it’s safe to say they’re gonna take everything that was a masterpiece with RDR2 and just put it in GTA. That’s kind of why the hype is so large.

            My biggest problem with RDR2 is how linear and on-rails it felt. Seemed like a ton of window dressing with very little to actually do outside of the main story and its big action set pieces. One of my biggest gaming disappointments. I really hope GTA VI puts more love into its open world this go around.

      IF (big if) it has decent performance on 20-30 series cards, an actual story and a better online mode, i probably will purchase it. but not for 70 bones. i’ll watch out for keys online.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Rockstar Games released the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI ahead of schedule on Monday night after it was leaked online.

    The trailer confirmed that the massively successful video game franchise would return to the fictional Vice City, based on Miami, and appears to show the series’ first female protagonist.

    The trailer, which showed off fast cars, robberies, strip clubs and even an alligator walking into a store, garnered almost 20 million views on YouTube two hours after it was uploaded.

    Some users commented that this evoked “major Bonnie and Clyde vibes,” referring to the infamous American crime couple during the Great Depression.

    The trailer has been keenly awaited by gamers, with more than a decade passing since the last installment of the Grand Theft Auto series was released.

    Earlier this year, a British court found a teenager responsible for leaking around 50 minutes of in-game footage during the development stage back in 2022.
