GTA 5 News: Gameplay Videos Leaked Before Release Date [Video]

Grand Theft Auto 5 has been accidently leaked ahead of its Sept. 17 release date, and intrepid players who received the game early have now taken to Youtube to provide an early glimpse into the game for everyone else. Based on these early leaks, the game looks as impressive as expected.

One leaked video shows the Fame or Shame mission for the game, and can be seen right here as well as below (note: video has some NSFW language). The mission centers around Michael's daughter and Michael's attempt to make sure she doesn't embarrass herself auditioning for the reality television show Fame or Shame. The mission begins at Michael's house, where the character and Trevor depart from Michael's giant mansion. The two characters banter back and forth about various things, such as kale, Michael's disappearance from Trevor's life, and the bitterness that Trevor feels towards his former friend. The gameplay here reveals that the controls for the driving portion for the game are a little bit suspect, at least for the car the player uses. The player has to constantly veer in awkward angles and hits a few cars along the way.

Once the player reaches the place where the auditions are happening, Michael and Trevor storm into the building, demanding to be taken where the auditions are held. Michael and Trevor walk in when Michael's daughter Tracey begins her audition, and she is much happier to see Trevor than her father. She begins her routine, which consists of some risque moves as Michael looks on in shock. Things turn ugly when the producer dances with Tracey, and the player is soon chasing after the producer through the building and in the streets of Los Santos. Players then steal a production big rig to give chase. The 18-wheeler manages to get stuck in several spots along the chase, as the massive truck can take down cars and street lights but not power lines.

Eventually Michael and Trevor catch up to the producer in the Los Santos riverway. Michael is fine with just threatening the man, but Trevor takes things up a notch, making the producer dance about in his underwear as he films it on his phone. The mission ends with Michael and Trevor parting ways as Michael goes to meet a character called Dave.

Overall, this brief glimpse gives a good indication of the types of characters Michael and Trevor are, as well as what to expect from the driving portions of the game. While the driving gameplay may look a bit shakey, the dialog and tone of the game is fantastic and should highlight the experience of the single player portion of the game.
