In Preacher's reply he says that Kojima and him (or Rockstar) "have more in common than you could possibly imagine" and also posts an image which, I think, is a reference to Jacob's Ladder.
Below is what I could find that establishes a relation between Rockstar and Kojima based on Jacob's Ladder.
- Jacob's Ladder (source):
Jacob's Ladder (Hebrew: סֻלָּם יַעֲקֹב Sūllām Ya‘aqōv) is a ladder leading to heaven that was featured in a dream the biblical Patriarch Jacob had during his flight from his brother Esau in the Book of Genesis (chapter 28).
- 'Jacob's Ladder', 1990 film:
Wikipedia (source)
Jacob's Ladder is a 1990 American psychological horror film[4] directed by Adrian Lyne, produced by Alan Marshall, written by Bruce Joel Rubin, and starring Tim Robbins, Elizabeth Peña, and Danny Aiello. In the film, Jacob Singer's experiences before and during his service in Vietnam result in strange, fragmentary visions and bizarre hallucinations that continue to haunt him. As his ordeal worsens, Jacob desperately attempts to figure out the truth.
Legacy
Jacob's Ladder greatly inspired the horror franchise Silent Hill, including the video games Silent Hill (1999), Silent Hill 2 (2001), Silent Hill 3 (2003), Silent Hill 4: The Room (2004), and Silent Hill: Homecoming (2007), as well as the series' 2006 film adaptation by Christophe Gans.

My take on this:
If this is related to GTA 6 then Carcer City (source) might be one of the cities included in the game - and a certain leak circulating the interwebs *** might *** be right. And if it is - like I've said in the other forum - I wonder how much survived the final cut?
