We're just a handful of days on from what is easily the biggest Grand Theft Auto 6 leak yet and Rockstar Games has been hit hard by it. While the developer is undoubtedly "disappointed" with the leak, studio leads believe it won't impact the ongoing development of the title. While this statement has stolen the spotlight in the last 24 hours, we still need to talk about the actual gameplay footage because it makes GTA 6 look more like Red Dead Redemption 2 than GTA 5 - and that's not a bad thing.
It goes without saying that we know that the next GTA game is going to be quite a bit different from Rockstar Games' 1899-set Red Dead Redemption sequel. However, if you look past the unfinished environments and the unpolished graphics (after all, this is still a game in active development) it looks like GTA 6 is going to play much more like the slower open-world western than it does the Los Santos-based sandbox shooter we know and love, and that's because of a thing called RAGE.
RAGE is the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine - something that Rockstar Games has been updating and adapting for well over a decade now, and the game engine that both GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 are built on.
