Someone claiming to be a friend of an ex-RockStar employee that was fired for misconduct.

Now, it seems that the he has the intentions of leaking massive details regarding the highly anticipated game Grand Theft Auto V.

The information was posted on Gamespot forums and has since been deleted by the forum moderators.

Some info about the game:

• The protagonist will be one character, and one character alone. His name is (as some rumors said) Albert De Silva. He’s a half Hispanic man who was once part of a crime family in Vice City. He decided to settle down and have kids in Los Santos. He has one son called Kevin De Silva who is your stereotypical CoD player. He’s lazy, useless and shouts racial abuse online and is really into FPS games. Kevin does admire his Dad though.
• Multiplayer will support up to 32 players on consoles, with PC to be confirmed. Just like in Red Dead Redemption, players will be able to form Gangs. These gangs are not ranked through XP anymore, but via Reputation. Instead of gang hideouts, you can do jobs that range from robbing a launderette to breaking into a military base and stealing state-of-the-art weaponry. The Gang leader has much more control over his or her gang by being able to rank members of their gang and setting more specific objectives to specific members of their gang. Gangs can have their own territory but this only applies to areas inside the city of Los Santos.
• The map is about 5x as large as GTA IV and the City of Los Santos takes up just under half of this area (so it’s a bit bigger than 2 GTA IV Liberty Cities). The map is (like most GTAs) divided into three different sections.
• A variety of planes will be available to fly, they range from World War 2 fighter planes to Private Jets.
• Cars and guns will be customisable to an extent.

Here’s some more ‘info’ posted:

• Police chases are now way more than either running or driving. Depending on how wanted you are, police may bring out riot shields and flash bangs.
• When someone reaches 4 star wanted level, there will be a radio warning on some stations.
• Radio stations now do traffic reports that are actually correct. So if you don’t know what route to take, you can check the traffic reports on your phone or the radio.
• The in-game TV now has many more channels
• The protagonist DOES NOT die unlike in the last two Rockstar games.
• The underworld actually has a working economy that you can contribute too by buying and selling drugs, weapons and illegal cars in single player.
• The protagonist can take drugs which will have some effects. But smoking weed on the street will lead to getting a one star wanted level.
• Police cars will go after you if you’re obviously breaking the speed limit. Having high speed crashes will also damage your health.

Wanted levels:

• 1 star – police follow you on foot and try to make an arrest. No sirens, no car chases (unless you are speeding).
• 2 star – police will still attempt to make an arrest. If a weapon is drawn then the police will begin opening fire. Police will use stun guns if a weapon is not drawn.
• 3 star – Chases begin and the police don’t care how they stop you, they just want to do it.
• 4 star – road traps, radio stations and much more hostile police. Even when you have evaded them, they will still search for 24 in-game hours for someone matching your description.
• 5 star – shoot to kill, arrest only if it’s made very possible. Even when you have evaded them, they will still search for 48 in-game hours for someone matching your description. Few missions become unavailable if you are wanted.
• 6 star – military vehicles come after you. Even when you have evaded them, they will still search for 72 in-game hours for someone matching your description. Some missions become unavailable if you are wanted.

Since this information is not at all confirmed, take all this with a pinch of salt.

Previously, Analyst group Sterne Agee predicted Grand Theft Auto V will launch during early 2013 based on retail channel checks.
