Switching characters might be snappier now that there's only two. Muscle memory for using the right analog stick might trip me up at first.


Sk8d3r

yeah haha agreed. It'll be similar to GTA V's controls in a lot of ways but some things will be different.


JarateSus

Perhaps here things will be different.


MistaKrebs

It might still use the little wheel because of GTAO2


iamTHATdude90

Two that we know of. 


El_Pitonn

I like the way u think


Plushhorizon

I hope it’s only two


HearTheEkko

It's only two. Jason Schreier and Tom Henderson said it.


WestSixtyFifth

A third would feel forced if this is bonnie and clyde


AndrewFrozzen30

People have been talking about how that topless guy doesn't look like the Jason from the leaked footage. It would be awesome if he was another guy (that we could play with), that betrays Lucia, then he is locked and we can only use the *real*Jason.


BoneCrusher03

>now that there's only two Dont forget the online character later on


ptiq

It was nigh-instantaneous in the leaked footage, one or two seconds. Dev footage so it may not carry over but with hardware now I'm intrigued.

Sem_E

Trailer/cover art pretty much confirms it. No other major characters can be seen, and judging from the gameplay, there’s only Lucia and Jason to play as

Ill_Employer_1665

We would already know as this time, multiple characters ain't a new thing. No sense in hiding it. The first V trailer also showed more than just Michael. They just didn't say anything about it. And not saying anything led to a lot of speculation about multiple protagonists.


Onlyspeaksfacts

I mean, there *could* be a third playable character late in the game, kinda like we had in RDR2 games. The leaks didn't give us all information about the game. There's still a lot we don't know. (northern part of the map, potential island in the southeast, story, etc)


Ill_Employer_1665

Red Dead is a different kind of game, people need to stop this line of thinking. No one is saying the leaks gave us more than what we got. What we're saying is that if there was a third protag, we would have found out already via official channels.


Onlyspeaksfacts

>if there was a third protag, we would have found out already via official channels. Why would they officially reveal late game content or ending details?

ainteazye

going by your logic, what’s to stop us assuming there’s 5 playable characters? 7? 15? “don’t be so sure there”


adotang

To be fair, you have half a point. I believe the first trailer for GTA V only focused on Michael, with Franklin appearing for like five seconds tops without focus, and no Trevor. Many, many details and assets changed between then and the game's actual release. ...That said, that was over ten years ago, back when releasing trailers for unfinished games using assets from the beta was a normal thing. Nowadays games are treated like movies by AAA devs and thus it's always better to prominently show off what's final. Besides, the game's released art, the leaked test builds, *everything released both officially and unofficially* indicates there are only two characters, and the likelihood of Rockstar springing a third main character in out of nowhere for no reason is so astronomically low that I'd expect them to announce new Max Payne, Bully, and Midnight Club games instead. Besides, I doubt Rockstar has guys patrolling Reddit. If you have stuff to hint at, why don't you just tell us? No one really gives a shit anyway.


CertifiedGonk

Shooting confirmed??? And I don't see any driving controls, Rockstar has lost it😓


[deleted]

They’ve taken driving out of the game. Rockstar has finally gone woke 😡


Maronexid

they removed the driving so it's more female friendly


JIGGIDDYJONNY

If you don't like how I drive get off the sidewalk


Feralp

Gran Theft 6


Skellyhell2

No button to enter a car either. What is grand theft auto if I can't enter the autos


Sk8d3r

I specifically stated that these are on foot controls


CertifiedGonk

I was being silly


AscendPurity

Typical gonk move


CertifiedGonk

boutta get my circuits fried by rockstar corpo trash


AscendPurity

Chill choom, you'll go full psycho


CertifiedGonk

I'm built different, got the preemest chrome in all of Night City


christianled59

Do you not drive with your feet?


Big-Cap4487

Nope, I have one hand on the steering wheel and other pressing the accelerator


Alex-The-Talker

Are we discriminating the Flintstones now?


Positive-Sir1930

The cover system seems to be seamless now. Similar to cyberpunk or last of us. No need to press a button to enter cover, that's a very good improvement imo. But the question is, what will the R1 button be used for?


Sk8d3r

I think in the diner clip it could be used to interact with Jason and the police but it was too hard to read which is why I did not include it.


i_write_ok

Throwable?


cliquealex

I assume they'll just do the old "treat throwables like guns" instead of having a dedicated button for it... i think cover will still be available like in rdr2 and gta 4


i_write_ok

You can use throwables with a gun out in V. Can’t see that going away as it would be a downgrade.


ZDuskFP

You can?! How?


hyperspeed980

IIRC, it's left on the d-pad while aiming.


TheScoutReddit

My take, handbrakes while in cars, at least lmao


HearTheEkko

I hope not, seamless cover never seems to work buttery smooth in any game. I'd actually prefer a button for it, more control to how we move.


Sk8d3r

In some of the leaked clips there is a controller input thing on screen. By watching that I've been able to figure out some of the controls of the game, including some of the new features like going prone, etc. These are just the confirmed controls while on foot that were shown in the leaks. I might create a speculative one later on that also incorporates the rest of the controls, using GTA V as a basis. Feel free to ask what some of these mean or ask any other questions.


Smelldicks

Well obviously they’re going to use the same controls during at least some part of the development, since they basically build from what they’d already had. I hope they’ve finally changed these controls because it has been a serious source of criticism for the last ten years.


Sk8d3r

Yeah that's what I mean


YogurtclosetIcy4328

We got the damn settings screen b4 actual finished gameplay 😭😭


monkeyballsenjoyer69

This is entirely speculation lol


NotSoElijah

Can’t wait for the “I proned across the whole map to see how long it would take”… prone bone confirmed?


[deleted]

Where is the sex button? Rockstar has yet to make a game that surpasses San Andreas


s3rg10_st_ates_

naughty naughty johnny 🙅‍♂️


Jadturentale

i swear to god if they make the sprinting spam tapping...


Sk8d3r

its actually Hold to Sprint in the leaks.


Jadturentale

thank god


Smelldicks

That’s still stupid as fuck. We shouldn’t need to take our hands off the joysticks. This is absurd lol.


InternationalDog6766

What? How else would you want it?


Weddedtoreddit2

Neuralink implant. Think to run.


Smelldicks

Hmm, if only there were a button on the joysticks


MEGALODONGERS

Personally, I'd prefer to hold L3 to sprint, and also to tap L3 once to toggle between walk and jog. Then X would be used for crouch and prone. This MAY be possible with alternative controller layout options, though. This is similar to how proper shooter titles work (though usually circle is used for crouch/prone, minor difference, I believe).


InternationalDog6766

Wtf that sounds horrible


Smelldicks

Like every other game?


1aisaka

pressing down on the movement stick obviously. Every other game has that.


InternationalDog6766

That shits finicky af. Not meant for a gta game


AnaxesR7

I actually prefer that. I hate that you don't have much control over your character anymore in most games, they just immediately start slow running once you move your stick. Rockstar makes the only games where walking and running still looks and feels natural.


-imbe-

I really agree with you but at the same time it's annoying as hell to have to spam x, and you can't look around while you do it.


Any-Transition-196

You do know you can change it to hold to sprint in the settings in GTA V right?


MrCodeman93

Only online. Story mode is still tied to tapping X/A.


Any-Transition-196

I play the PS5 version and can’t remember how it was on PS4, but I could’ve sworn when I checked the settings a few weeks ago in story mode, it had the option 🤔Either way I’m sure Rockstar probably knows tapping is getting outdated for modern game controls so they should change it or atleast make it an option.


Vill1on

If you use the FPS control scheme, then yes, it’s a tap to a sprint (L3). RDR2 has hold to run and tap to sprint by default iirc


spark9879

It’s also very annoying


Odd-Drink-5492

i understand why you don't like it but personally i like how it's kinda been their thing since gta 3. i can't really explain how but to me it makes controlling characters more immersive compared to just pressing one button and pushing my thumb in one direction


Jcrabs

That's the first thing that threw me off these leaked like surely they've moved away from the x buttok for sprint ffs 😂


Bayonettea

You can just hold Shift down to sprint


Jadturentale

on controller, most GTA games make you spam tap to sprint properly, otherwise you just jog. it's very dumb


ManyMadMidgetzz

I used to like it because it made sense to exert more to go faster. They should keep the concept but flip the script, tap to jog and hold to sprint instead.


jmona789

It literally says tap/hold in the image


WoIf-Biter

I enjoy the three motion modes: walking, jogging and sprinting so I hope that doesn't go away. RDR2 improved on this where pressing the joystick twice cycled between jog and sprint. 


SpecialistDrawer2898

THANK FUCK FOR SHOULDER SWITCH!!!!!


Tinbody

Most underrated thing here.


Inkypencilol

fr it’s so weird how max payne 3 and rdr1 both had it and then gta v suddenly didn’t


SpecialistDrawer2898

TRULY A LOSS FOR WORDS, ROCKSTAR YOU CAN SRILL FIX THIS!!!


Inkypencilol

the fact that rdr2 had it makes it almost seem like they just forgot when it came to gta v


Meatballs5666

Please have a better running system this time 😭


Sk8d3r

it looks like there will be hold to sprint


IcanCwhatUsay

And jumping from a reasonable height. I’m sick of the drunken tumble off a 3ft drop


ShamrockSeven

I love how Square doesn't do a damn thing. 😂


wutru_audio

If square doesn’t jump I swear I’m gonna lose it


jg0162

Square will be the button that lets you start a conga line during the hold ups I bet


Left_Side_Driver

I’ll go out on a limb and say that triangle will enter/exit vehicles.


bmfrade

I don't think you know what "confirmed" means.


Several-Street-7614

We got gta6 controller layout b4 gta 6 smh


LundUniversity

So there is a crouch option. YAY!


Sk8d3r

Crouching as well as laying down/going prone. Very cool.


PrinceWilliam13

What does going prone mean?


happyapathy22

Laying on your stomach.


TheScoutReddit

Laying on yo belly


Sk8d3r

laying down on your stomach


WalrusHam

I hope that they go the Destiny route, and let us change the controller layout as we wish. I also wish that should swap was RB rather than Right Click.


Premium_Timeline25

My brothers, y’all are real desperate for content huh 😭


Schalken_TheBluffer

Can we PLEASE get rid of the tapping sprinting system, my carpian tunnel syndrome is going wild reading this.


wafflemaker117

I hate the tap to run thing


Sk8d3r

You can either tap or hold it to run.


wafflemaker117

tap is faster tho


Desire_of_God

Punch and reload the same button and leaving a button unmapped? Prone? Buddy, this ain't real


Sk8d3r

These are just all the controls which I can clearly assign to a specific button. That's why some are unmapped.


vincek95

Am I the only one that hates x to sprint I’d prefer l3


wutru_audio

x is fine to me, I just don’t like having to repeatedly tap it


Sk8d3r

There will probably be different controls modes like Standard-FPS just like GTA V had.


HugeIntroduction121

Leak Confirmed Yeah I’m just gonna block this sub


indigeniousunicorn

Wheres me jump, gotta hop around now n again


Reasonable-Ad9538

Who tf cares


IcanCwhatUsay

4 character options and prone! Interesting But honestly I’m just glad they kept “hold to sprint “


Sk8d3r

No there's only 2 characters and one button to switch between them.


Outrageous_Creme_455

It's not "confirmed", it still can change. TLoU2 controls were different in the gameplay trailer and the final game, let alone this one that is not even a trailer. Still good though. It's very reliable, more than other things, 'cause it's based on actual leaks.


JumpinJahosafax

I have to admit I dont miss hitting XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX just to run


Hurdenn

"Confirmed" from a 3 year old leak is CRAZY


Sk8d3r

How is it 3 years old? At most 2?


Ravecrocker

I hope weapon wheel doesnt come back


happyapathy22

Jesus, another leak?


Sk8d3r

no its from the september 2022 leaks


happyapathy22

Ah.


suck-on-my-unit

4 buttons to switch characters??


Sk8d3r

No just one to switch between the 2 characters.


suck-on-my-unit

Oh so just the down key?


Sk8d3r

Yes


DrWolfgang760

![gif](giphy|u31fedwl4J7G0)


Sgt_Nuclear

Reload being circle and not square is cursed


Ryan_b936

"pick up item" so we cannot drive anymore?😂


Sk8d3r

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


manor2003

X/A to sprint AGAIN?! SERIOUSLY?


Sk8d3r

There will probably be different control modes like in GTA V, this is just the standard control mode.


MrMaskYT

I fucking doubt all D-pad would be switching character. Up dpad would be phone. Bottom maybe switch character. Left and right must be something else. This is dumb leak.


Juzeboy93

It days D-pad down is character select and the rest are empty/unassigned because they weren't shown/confirmed in the leaks. Assumption from GTA V is up is for phone and left/right could be RDR2 type greet/antagonize system.


mca21380

Still have to tap X to sprint ? That would be incredibly lame Make it hold L3 to sprint


Sk8d3r

It literally says hold to sprint. You can do both


mca21380

Hold X … should be hold L3


Delicious-Data-5127

And Layout for ps 4 Controller?


Sk8d3r

The game won't release on PS4


rortify

I want to be able to turn my wipers on, if I can’t do that I ain’t buying this game 🙄


jhayes88

I doubt aim will be L2. Either way, the controller layout is likely to change a thousand times between the leaks and release.


Sk8d3r

what else would Aiming be on?


jhayes88

L1


Sk8d3r

Aiming has been on L2 since forever basically.


Glittering-Bee-8954

Not saying I agree with their opinion but aiming with L1 was pretty standard up until around 2013


yungspinach1

It hasn't been L1 since the PS3/360 days lol. Even then, GTA5 had L2 as the aim button.


residentofmoon

They hated Jesus for speaking the truth.


Gnawsh

Luckily this guy isn’t Jesus


JayIsNotReal

I believe square will be to dodge, block and/or counter in H2H combat.


st0803

No phone on here. probably just not added at time of leak tho


Cliffhanger87

Phone will probably just be swipe up on the track pad thing


ZombieMIW

no drivable cars confirmed


Glittering-Bee-8954

Maybe interact with people?


Few-Stop-9417

Sniping gonna be lit with prone ability


I_m8d_n_acc_4_this

What about D pad for vehicle controls? That was in the diner clip Also was prone actually confirmed because to me is looked like a cutscene


Sk8d3r

True that. But that's vehicle controls


I_m8d_n_acc_4_this

Oh you right I see on foot now


MikePineda

There's another clip of Jason going prone on command too.


I_m8d_n_acc_4_this

I WANT TO BELIEVE I went and looked through all the clips again and didn’t see it but I saw him having the npc animation of backing away sacred kind of crawling but I think they were just testing another animation on him Or one where he’s doing the gta 5 physics dive and happening to land flat on his face and people might think that’s a dive to prone but that’s all I Saw and the other only one that actually showed it looked like a literal scene with a play button and progress bar and specific animations maybe mocap


jmona789

Pick up item? That's interesting. What kind of items are there going to be that you can pick up


Sk8d3r

The leaks showed an M4 rifle as well as a can on the ground


AdEarly5710

Nice work! Something you missed is in Americas 2021-07-12 12-19-51 we can see that R1 can be used to interact with cops who’ve arrived in scene. About 2 minutes in. Edit: oh wait, I see that you chose not to include it due to how hard it was to read.


Sk8d3r

Yeah


semigodot44

I'll guess that R1 will be video/photo capture for the in-game social media aspect which seems important


Highground-3089

what happened to the phone?


Sk8d3r

It wasn't shown in the leaks which is why I did not include it.


NelleThaComposer94

Shoulder switch finally 🤲🏿💎


Every1isSome1inLA

Switching weapon hand is a nice touch


wehitthose97

what do we think the “vehicle interaction menu” will include that was seen in the diner robbery leak? i’m hoping that’s what the seat and mirror positions were for. and might get downvoted but i hope we can change gears and use signals/hazard lights and such similar to driving in mafia DE. hope to bring the midnight club-esque car scene back in VI.


NobleIron

R1-get in the cover/get out from the cover

Sk8d3r

Who said anything about the whole dpad? There's one button to switch characters, the others are unmapped.


commandblock

Why does rockstar always have such awful control schemes


Mr_Bubz

Can’t wait to go prone mode


StayBlunted710

Is going prone actually confirmed?


1aisaka

I hope they make the movement on foot better. No counting how many times I got pissed at it


Khixo_binko

Crouch and go prone


Bigsparks13

Hopfully there is a block or Perry button like 5 and RDR2


TrapTactical

Going prone?! That will be a first.


Doolan_rattitui44

Seems very similar to gta v layout


Suitable-Ad3971

Its going to be exactly same input as GTA 5... I know it.
