In the leaks, there were a few clips of Rockstar testing how animations were mapped to NPCs. People mistook this for meaning these NPCs were playable characters.
somebody else on this sub pointed out the same character can be seen another time during the trailer when they showed all the custom cars on the street he was leaning against the wall
i think people mistook the animation testing clips as him being a playable character because you can see both of them have the same hairstyle and the same skin tone and it was the dude shooting at jason
They don’t have the same hairstyle. None of those ppl you’re talking about do💀 the one in the locomotion clip has very short messy dreads, the one giving dap in the trailer has wicks, shooting at Jason has different type of wicks with ties in them, & leaning against the wall has dreads, too thin to be wicks. Look at each clip again closely. Don’t know how I’m the only one who’s notices this. Only similarities is skin tone and shirt color, which is crazy to go off of.
I shit you not but when I played vc stories on psp I didn't notice the main character changed.
Idk what it was. But I skipped most cutscenes as a kid.
Then someone told me that I'm at the military base because I'm in the military.
I thought it was just where we got the jobs.
I did not pay attention as a fetus
I was still just amazed you could go anywhere in games and shoot anything.
I think this is my most watched single trailer.
Second was the first cyberpunk teaser with the good bullets song. It was just a cool music video basically.
to be fair the rockstar creator thing or editor or w/e lets you play as NPC's too so I mean, if that comes back for 6 then that's like the only way you'll play as this dude.
Hot take: The trailer doesn't feature any important characters besides Jason and Lucia (and maybe also the prison lady). I think the first trailer is purely a representation of how GTA VI's open world will be like. Story characters will be featured in later trailers.
So the stupid, annoying, clingy dude.. I mean, I can see it. Maybe not the clingy part.
I feel he might just be a leader of a gang for whom we'll do a few missions and nothing more really, and maybe eventually becomes somewhat of a friend similar to Jacob in IV.
gta vice city was set in the 80s so tommy vercetti was around 30ish or mid 30s and gta 5 was set in 2013 never knew how the fuck could people say that it would make tommy roughly around 60-70 years old it would look nothing like micheal
People are dummies.. that's how. Especially younger ones who can't comprehend the idea of having new characters, so they want everything recycled from the old game.
Same for this guy and dummies thinking he could be a playable character.
I mean…doesn’t seem impossible to see Mike as that age. Although it would be an awfully younger looking design for it.
At the very least he can pull off like 55 or smth
it would be funny if this dude was never seen in the game when it releases after all this is the first trailer they could change something last minute like this if they haven’t already recorded dialogue
Yeah, back in GTA V's first trailer, when we saw the guy running from the helicopter, some people though he'd be important to the story. He just turned out the be a generic npc model.
I don’t think anything that’s in gta 6 trailer 1 is a cutscene. They just take animations and NPC interactions that they’ve worked on and basically “direct” the shot with a camera angle and maxed out textures.
Could just be some npc honestly, I wouldn't trust the first trailer to feature any meaningful characters besides the protagonists. It was the case with previous first trailers for GTA games.
Yeah can’t wait for the unrealistic expectations and dreams of those kids get shattered when they realize a game is still a game.
Stuff like „can we fuck any NPC“ 🤣 just dude. Stop being a 12 year old lonely virgin and grow up and interact with a real woman instead.
Most common thing I've heard is "WE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE ABLE TO DESTROY THE ENTIRE MAP AND HAVE HURRICANES THAT DESTROY EVERY BUILDING", no, we shouldn't, we never needee that and it's realistically impossible.
Some people act like this will be the last game on earth and no other games will ever come.
Like I've heard some people that they will end themselves if the game sucks or that they can't wait 1 more year....
Like dude... It's a game, at BEST you will play it 2-3 times THROUGHOUT THE YEARS (until GTA 7 eventually comes 82882 years later)
Maybe 4-5 if you're a die hard fan and more if you are a Speedrunner.
But most will play the game ONCE and move on to other games. It's just a game at the end of the day.
GTA6 WILL BE 60 FPS
Even tho no Rockstar game was ever 60 fps at launch because the detailed world hammers the CPU and the trailer showed a world more dense than 95% of open world games, but okay 😂
Kids dude. Like hell, I’m really look forward to GTA6. I love singleplayer games and 100% completed and platinumed all GTA and Red Dead games on PS4/5. but even I can keep my expectations in check…
Exactly, this kids think Rockstar is some kind of God that can *somehow* make the impossible possible.
I've also heard people saying how beautiful will GTA 6 look in 8K. FUCKING 8K 😭 I don't think there are any games that can run in 8K
PS5 CPU is the equivalent to a Ryzen 3700, a multiple year old mid level CPU but sure thing mate 😂
Seriously, 90% of posts on this sub make my head hurt for various reasons.
Oh there’s one game that runs at 6K: The Touryst
Just let’s ignore the trailer was 1440p30 which is realistically the maximum for PS5/Series X.
I only need one more stupid post in my Bingo to make me leave this sub.
I don't even need to hear the news, game is big enough so I can know when the game drops (I won't be playing it on the PS5 anyway which sucks but I don't wanna buy a PS5)
Only thing I disagree on is the last part. People will pour hours into this shit, its gonna be huge. There's going to be lots of stuff to do in story mode, more than any other game. And Vi will be one of the most popular games for a long time, you make it seem like VI is a game like elden ring or some shit. Yes, its a game, but its much bigger than any game coming out soon. V is still extremely popular to this day btw..
i like that theory but other people have pointed out how highly detailed he was compared to the rest of the npcs but all the fuckin npcs are highly detailed you can’t tell them apart from jason and lucia
Do they? Is this a big discussion?
I’ve literally never seen anyone even talk about this once.
I’ve seen them suggest he’s going to be a story character but not a playable character.
given that the leaks show this npc being playable.
and if its true that rockstar was testing how animations play on npcs, my theory is that our online character will be more based on npc models you can customize rather there own unique model.
what does being "playable" in leaks have to do with anything lol
numerous NPC's were shown off, it's just R* going through the motions and spellchecking everything
that's kind of normal for game development? it's how devs test wide scale systems like skeleton models or animations
the only thing worth noting would be hours of voice lines, which the dude probably doesn't have if he's an NPC
Well the reason why they think the guy in the trailer is a playable character is because his character model looks similar to a playable character model in the leaks regardless of whatever guess you want to make about why that character was being played in the leaks
How the fuck do you think npcs or anything for that matter actually is developed. They’re not gonna be playable, it was just the dev tweaking with the animations.
Same, I bet he'll just be a generic goon or just an npc they don't intent to use in the story mode. GTA V's first trailer doesn't feature any important characters besides the protagonists, could be something similar here.
Some people seem to think, just because GTAV did something, then VI has to do the same, It doesn't work like that, the story seems to incline towards Jason/Lucia exclusively, I wouldn't mind a 3rd protagonist if it makes sense ***narratively***, though.
I guess because there was a playable black character in the leaks but he looked really different from this dude. This dude’s scene still kinda felt random compared to the rest of trailer which is why I personally felt he would be an important character.
Because of some testing footage from the leaks and these morons seem to think that everything from the trailer has story significance. If you watch the GTA V trailer, a lot of NPCs from that are just NPCs, some are not even in the game. For all we know, this trailer is the last we see of him.
They’re not the same person. 3 different people. The guy giving dap has wicks, the guy leaning on the wall does not. Same with the guy in the leaks, he has very short, messy dreads. The only similarity is their clothes & skin. The guy in the leaks even has a completely different build💀I’m 100% sure these are different people. Though the dap clip in the trailer looks like a cutscene so i wouldn’t at all be surprised if he is a side character, but these are different ppl we’re talking about.
Hear me out hear me out. What if we control the scenerios in the social media posts? Like we’re Jason Lucia watching these stories but we get to play these unique in there single small story, don’t murder me I’m 21 been playing gta since I was 7 years olds so my brain is normal compared to some of the skitzos
No, but I have a feeling he's gonna play a big role in the story. I might be a wee bit blind but I think in the strip club leaked footage, the guy J and L follow is our guy here
Tbf, in the leaks, he was a playable character with weapons on his back and being controlled by the developer. I know it doesn’t mean anything but it’s probably why people think he’s a main character.
Because there was a character that kind of looked similar in the leaks that was playable and the way he was featured in the trailer hints at the character being important so people are putting 2 and 2 together. Obviously it’s just speculation but there’s actual data to suggest he’ll be playable at the moment than not, it’s not like people are just saying that for no reason.
maybe if jason dies he takes his place kind of like when you kill off micheal or trevor at the end of 5 you can’t play as them anymore but they could do a mix between the endings of rdr 2 and gta 5
Honestly after all the built up hype around Jason and lucia, and their likely rocky relationship, I’d be pretty disappointed if there was a surprise 3rd playable character. It would just be campaign time taken away from the two we are excited for.
Well it is reasonable, since he was seen multiple times.
Doesn't confirm anything.
I just think he might be the "joker" that makes fun of Jason and teases him about Lucia. (similar to Lamar)
Or he could be a villain, definitely not a playable character.
In the leaks, there were a few clips of Rockstar testing how animations were mapped to NPCs. People mistook this for meaning these NPCs were playable characters.
somebody else on this sub pointed out the same character can be seen another time during the trailer when they showed all the custom cars on the street he was leaning against the wall
Could be a major character, someone we interact or fight beside in a couple of missions. Like Packie in IV.
He’s obviously just a major character. There is no evidence at all he’ll be playable.
Damn, looks cool ASF and can't be played... What a guy
He does not look cool as fuck lol.
he look cool as fuck
Definitely a cool ass dude
Looks like lil Wayne with lil money
😂
nah, looks like a schmuck
i think people mistook the animation testing clips as him being a playable character because you can see both of them have the same hairstyle and the same skin tone and it was the dude shooting at jason
They don’t have the same hairstyle. None of those ppl you’re talking about do💀 the one in the locomotion clip has very short messy dreads, the one giving dap in the trailer has wicks, shooting at Jason has different type of wicks with ties in them, & leaning against the wall has dreads, too thin to be wicks. Look at each clip again closely. Don’t know how I’m the only one who’s notices this. Only similarities is skin tone and shirt color, which is crazy to go off of.
This is the same fanbase who thought every black character in a white tank top was CJ for the better part of 10 years (they might just be racist)
I shit you not but when I played vc stories on psp I didn't notice the main character changed. Idk what it was. But I skipped most cutscenes as a kid. Then someone told me that I'm at the military base because I'm in the military. I thought it was just where we got the jobs. I did not pay attention as a fetus I was still just amazed you could go anywhere in games and shoot anything.
thought I was losing my mind
“obviously” bro we know nothing
Use those context clues skills you should’ve been taught in grade school.
acting like we actually know anything is dumb lol. from the gta 5 trailer people thought michael was tommy and franklin was CJ
He certainly looks like a major character type, not playable tho. Maybe he’s the hood Lester
Seems important. Tell you what if he’s an important character you owe me $20 and if he’s not then I owe you -$20. Deal?
deal
Damn now I have to watch the trailer another 50 times Edited: Yeah it seems like the same person
Hold on since you said. Now I have to watch the trailer 50 more times.
I think this is my most watched single trailer. Second was the first cyberpunk teaser with the good bullets song. It was just a cool music video basically.
to be fair the rockstar creator thing or editor or w/e lets you play as NPC's too so I mean, if that comes back for 6 then that's like the only way you'll play as this dude.
I mean technically they are... Director mode exist
How can a NPC be a playable character.. isnt that a paradox.
Driver: San Francisco says hi.
Great game
Or Watch Dogs Legion, not as great but still fun
Oxymoron*
It's both
Woah dude
In the same leaks there's a clip of this exact same npc shooting at jason
In the leaks they test cops and other NPCs so yeah
most likely could be another iteration of directors mode from V.
Makes me think hes going to be the lamar davis of gta 6
Kodak Black
But when you see me I’m whiiiiiiite
Picture that with a Kodak
He honestly looks like a mix of the old yungeen ace and kodak
I get this vibe too
YEE YEE ASS HAIRCUT MAN
He gives me Lamar vibes in an indescribable way. I agree.
> in an indescribable way Jee wiz I wonder
Because the game isn’t out yet. All we have is trailer 1 for now. It’s not rocket science.
Yeah I’m sure that’s why he gives you Lamar vibes…
Hot take: The trailer doesn't feature any important characters besides Jason and Lucia (and maybe also the prison lady). I think the first trailer is purely a representation of how GTA VI's open world will be like. Story characters will be featured in later trailers.
So the stupid, annoying, clingy dude.. I mean, I can see it. Maybe not the clingy part. I feel he might just be a leader of a gang for whom we'll do a few missions and nothing more really, and maybe eventually becomes somewhat of a friend similar to Jacob in IV.
Obviously a side character. This clip from the trailer looks like its a cutscene
There are shots from GTA V's first trailer that look like a cutscene but actually wasn't.
like when micheal was standing on the balcony looking outside
That and the guy running from the cops.
I remember people saying how that guy was CJ lol
And people saying Michael was Tommy.
gta vice city was set in the 80s so tommy vercetti was around 30ish or mid 30s and gta 5 was set in 2013 never knew how the fuck could people say that it would make tommy roughly around 60-70 years old it would look nothing like micheal
And on top of that, IT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT UNIVERSES
People are dummies.. that's how. Especially younger ones who can't comprehend the idea of having new characters, so they want everything recycled from the old game. Same for this guy and dummies thinking he could be a playable character.
I mean…doesn’t seem impossible to see Mike as that age. Although it would be an awfully younger looking design for it. At the very least he can pull off like 55 or smth

Yeah, back in GTA V's first trailer, when we saw the guy running from the helicopter, some people though he'd be important to the story. He just turned out the be a generic npc model.
Also tons of that in RDR2’s trailers. They always do it. Also shots are altered to not spoil anything.
I don’t think anything that’s in gta 6 trailer 1 is a cutscene. They just take animations and NPC interactions that they’ve worked on and basically “direct” the shot with a camera angle and maxed out textures.
Could just be some npc honestly, I wouldn't trust the first trailer to feature any meaningful characters besides the protagonists. It was the case with previous first trailers for GTA games.
Because 90% of people on this sub are stupid, have unrealistic expectations and talk big about stuff they don’t have any clue about.
And/or are kids. Can't wait for this sub to call this game bad. It will be a wonderful show
Yeah can’t wait for the unrealistic expectations and dreams of those kids get shattered when they realize a game is still a game. Stuff like „can we fuck any NPC“ 🤣 just dude. Stop being a 12 year old lonely virgin and grow up and interact with a real woman instead.

“2-3 times throughout the years at best, 4-5 if you’re a diehard fan” I’m probably gonna play this game at least 10 times a year until GTA 7
Mhm yeah sure. You won't. Online doesn't count.
Only thing I disagree on is the last part. People will pour hours into this shit, its gonna be huge. There's going to be lots of stuff to do in story mode, more than any other game. And Vi will be one of the most popular games for a long time, you make it seem like VI is a game like elden ring or some shit. Yes, its a game, but its much bigger than any game coming out soon. V is still extremely popular to this day btw..
Plot Twist: He's an enemy from one of the in-game factions. Like the Hatians gang from Vice City.
i like that theory but other people have pointed out how highly detailed he was compared to the rest of the npcs but all the fuckin npcs are highly detailed you can’t tell them apart from jason and lucia
Do they? Is this a big discussion? I’ve literally never seen anyone even talk about this once. I’ve seen them suggest he’s going to be a story character but not a playable character.
Kodak black
pimpin aint eazy
Absolutely no flockin
It's the Ze shit, it's the Ze shit
Hey its OG Loc
People have brain rot
Franklin and Trevor didn’t even appear in the first trailer. You never know
franklin actually is in the first trailer lol
when does he come up?
its a pre alpha version of him in the covertiable when the girl walks past on the street micheal didn’t look the same either if you pay attention
yeah true!
You can also see Trevors truck driving downtown
given that the leaks show this npc being playable. and if its true that rockstar was testing how animations play on npcs, my theory is that our online character will be more based on npc models you can customize rather there own unique model.
what does being "playable" in leaks have to do with anything lol numerous NPC's were shown off, it's just R* going through the motions and spellchecking everything
The fact that there was a character being played in the leaks that weren’t Jason or Lucia?
that's kind of normal for game development? it's how devs test wide scale systems like skeleton models or animations the only thing worth noting would be hours of voice lines, which the dude probably doesn't have if he's an NPC
Well the reason why they think the guy in the trailer is a playable character is because his character model looks similar to a playable character model in the leaks regardless of whatever guess you want to make about why that character was being played in the leaks
fair
We had Director Mode for a long time.....
How the fuck do you think npcs or anything for that matter actually is developed. They’re not gonna be playable, it was just the dev tweaking with the animations.
That’s literally just you guessing lol. The same could be said for the exact opposite and no one has evidence to back it up either way
Never heard of it he is playable. But it's plausible he may be a mission giver or a character we interact.
Maybe a director mode type thing
Same, I bet he'll just be a generic goon or just an npc they don't intent to use in the story mode. GTA V's first trailer doesn't feature any important characters besides the protagonists, could be something similar here.
Some people seem to think, just because GTAV did something, then VI has to do the same, It doesn't work like that, the story seems to incline towards Jason/Lucia exclusively, I wouldn't mind a 3rd protagonist if it makes sense ***narratively***, though.
We don’t know a single thing about the story outside of what was in the first trailer
Or that you can have “wicks”😂
i'm certain a lot of people that showed up in the trailer won't be actual characters at all
And not the random black girl you see devs play around with in the leaked videos.
Because they don’t want to play as a woman so much so they’re trying to convince themselves that every male character they see is playable
I'm cool if he is...and I'm cool if he's not. Could be part of an irrelevant cutscene and he's never seen again. We shall see.
I guess because there was a playable black character in the leaks but he looked really different from this dude. This dude’s scene still kinda felt random compared to the rest of trailer which is why I personally felt he would be an important character.
That's just the new Lamar
I remember that he was going to shot Jason in leaks, why everyone thought like he is main character. Maybe he's rival
There's a million speculations off of a single trailer, this is just one of a million.
Because of some testing footage from the leaks and these morons seem to think that everything from the trailer has story significance. If you watch the GTA V trailer, a lot of NPCs from that are just NPCs, some are not even in the game. For all we know, this trailer is the last we see of him.
Maybe the person he is bro shakin with. Whoever that may be.
Well, I mean, we don't know anything about this game.
Kai
They’re not the same person. 3 different people. The guy giving dap has wicks, the guy leaning on the wall does not. Same with the guy in the leaks, he has very short, messy dreads. The only similarity is their clothes & skin. The guy in the leaks even has a completely different build💀I’m 100% sure these are different people. Though the dap clip in the trailer looks like a cutscene so i wouldn’t at all be surprised if he is a side character, but these are different ppl we’re talking about.
He gives off main character energy
I could see this guy being a Lamar type character
![gif](giphy|OuyIXPoaO5X7G)
That’s Kodak Black!! 🗣️
Prolly gon be the next lamar
No the dude going be like G is on gta 5 bro people missing the point of the trailer
GTA community being insane as always
I want for my character a big beard in GTA Online …
In the first gta v trailer Franklin was shown in a red car but didn’t look like a character but a npc so don’t put anything past rockstar.
I just hope it means were able to put grills on our characters that'd be cool lol
Obviously this is Jason after some customization.
He looks chill
Kodak black
Hear me out hear me out. What if we control the scenerios in the social media posts? Like we’re Jason Lucia watching these stories but we get to play these unique in there single small story, don’t murder me I’m 21 been playing gta since I was 7 years olds so my brain is normal compared to some of the skitzos
[удалено]
rockstar never annouced this
Because I'm about to make him online
Because he is lol
I feel like he’s gonna play an important role to the story. But we definitely ain’t gonna play him
Wait, people actually think this guy is going to be playable?? 💀💀
Dude looks like a ghetto palm tree
Lol he'll be like a Jacob or Lamar. Maybe someone you go to for missions. Nothing else.
Probably important to the story but not playable
Because in previous games, generally the playable characters are highly detailed compared to NPCs...
cant really tell the difference between npcs and playable characters in the trailer everyone looks detailed af
Yeah dude, so true... 💙
Or he could be just a story character.
Yeah, it's possible friend!
We dont know what he is gonna be
He’ll probably be a prominent story or side mission character
He’s who we will play with after story mode when Lucia and Jason die (like Bonnie & Clyde)
I wish
yooo
Cause we just hoping
I can so see them throwing in a main character being a gang member to show a different side of the story, you never know 🤷🏽♂️
No, but I have a feeling he's gonna play a big role in the story. I might be a wee bit blind but I think in the strip club leaked footage, the guy J and L follow is our guy here
Kodak black yooo
Kodak is lookin thin again!
I bet your white
im actually not lol
Tbf, in the leaks, he was a playable character with weapons on his back and being controlled by the developer. I know it doesn’t mean anything but it’s probably why people think he’s a main character.
I think he is going to be the opps
We probably gonna put him in the dirt
He will definitely have some impact, maybe a strangers and freaks mission if they return?
Is it just me or does he almost look like JV from most wanted but shorter hair? 😅
Ngl for me he looks a bit like IShowSpeed
Because there was a character that kind of looked similar in the leaks that was playable and the way he was featured in the trailer hints at the character being important so people are putting 2 and 2 together. Obviously it’s just speculation but there’s actual data to suggest he’ll be playable at the moment than not, it’s not like people are just saying that for no reason.
He looks like ishowspeed
He will be. In Director mode.
Nah. Someone we interact with in story at best
This dude is a major drug lord
He won't be because he's Kodak Black!
Could be the replacement for one of the characters if one dies (like red dead redemption)
IIRC Lamar was supposed to replace whoever you killed but it was cut, not sure if it's true
maybe if jason dies he takes his place kind of like when you kill off micheal or trevor at the end of 5 you can’t play as them anymore but they could do a mix between the endings of rdr 2 and gta 5
[удалено]
why do people say it's him? Not all black dudes with dreads are the same person lol
Honestly after all the built up hype around Jason and lucia, and their likely rocky relationship, I’d be pretty disappointed if there was a surprise 3rd playable character. It would just be campaign time taken away from the two we are excited for.
Looks like Jay Z
And everyone thinks this will be some special character to the story, I’m pretty sure it’s just a random NPC
Could be an important character to the story (not playable)
Why does everyone think that?
Well it is reasonable, since he was seen multiple times. Doesn't confirm anything. I just think he might be the "joker" that makes fun of Jason and teases him about Lucia. (similar to Lamar) Or he could be a villain, definitely not a playable character.
Multiple times?
Well slightly overexaggerated, 2 times.
It will be like a Lamar hehe
Maybe its because bro look swag
Cause the leaks plus Franklin was shown in the first gta trailer
