Rockstar has suffered yet another leak. This time, a Manhunt style guide from October 2000 has surfaced online. The document was shared by GTAForums user IAmNotToniCipriani, who previously leaked an early build of GTA Liberty City Stories, a GTA Vice City build, and the GTA San Andreas source code.
The document mainly consists of photos of slums and wealthier neighborhoods, used as references for designing in-game locations;
One page includes guidelines for level design, suggesting that the poorest districts should feature empty streets, broken neon signs, and piles of garbage;
The document also contains early renders and details on the game's first gang, The Hoods. Inspired by American hip-hop gangs, the faction was to be led by a tattooed bruiser wearing a skull-like mask, codenamed Skullfaze/Bone D, who was planned as a boss character.
Manhunt launched in 2003 and later received a sequel, which garnered mixed reviews.
