New GTA 5 Source Code Leak Is Uncovering A Ton Of Cut Content

New GTA 5 Source Code Leak Is Uncovering A Ton Of Cut Content https://ift.tt/xV73s8L A huge batch of previously leaked Rockstar files has resurfaced online, giving players a new look at Grand Theft Auto 5' s canceled content, including a surprisingly massive Liberty City expansion and the long-rumored Agent Trevor DLC. The files reportedly total around 192GB, dwarfing the roughly 4GB collection of GTA 5 source code material that surfaced publicly in 2023. GTA modder TJGM has been digging through the newly accessible files and has already highlighted several discoveries, including cut dialogue, canceled missions, development tools, and assets from Rockstar's planned single-player expansions. One of the biggest discoveries so far is a look at the Liberty City expansion that Rockstar had planned for GTA 5, but ultimately was canned.

Dawntrail Takes New Jobs And Stories Where Final Fantasy XIV Has Never Been

Dawntrail Takes New Jobs And Stories Where Final Fantasy XIV Has Never Been https://ift.tt/qWhuZHp

For the first time in 11 years, the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV is embarking on an entirely new era for its story arc.

The development team at Creative Business Unit III is digging deep into Mesoamerican inspirations, drawing from cultures of pre-colonial Central and South America. It's easily seen in the architecture of the buildings, the topography of Tural's various zones, and the names for all the locations. In the same way Endwalker drew from Indian and South Asian culture to create the Thavnair region, Dawntrail's rich, real-world influences are being reflected in nearly every aspect, and on a much larger scale.

I spent a lot of time walking the streets of Tuliyollal, the new main hub for Dawntrail. Going through the marketplace full of vendors, seeing the textiles and structures that make up the town, and watching the NPCs go through their animation sets, establishes a sense of place that has deep roots. It's not so much pulling directly from those real-world inspirations, rather a blending of them with the development team's own imagination to make something wholly unique for FFXIV, yet so familiar to those who know a bit about the indigenous peoples of Mesoamerica and Latin America. But this wouldn't have happened without the help of several groups who had the insight to help craft Tural in all its detail.
