GTA 6 trailer looked meh

[🆂🅾🅻🅸🅳🆄🆂 🆂🅽🅰🅺🅴]

Can someone explain to me the hype for GTA 6 and that trailer, because I can't see it or feel it. Everyone is saying how the graphics looked mind blowing-ly amazing, when to me they looked no better than GTA 5's. It showed no new gameplay footage, just cutscenes of overweight women twerking on top of cars. It just looked like a degenerate America simulator. I would've been more hyped if we could play as an Italian, Russian or Cuban immigrant rising to the top with a premise similar to Vice City in the 80's or 90's. Instead, the main characters look uninteresting and boring. And playing the game will only remind me of this awful time period we live in. People are jumping in the air in excitement acting like it's the best thing to ever possibly be made when it was a 1 minute trailer that showed literally nothing of value.

i cant believe that's what they released after people have been waiting for years...how uninspired and random...wth...maybe they asked chatgpt to make it...pls tell me gta vi will have chatgpt integration...

Well i guess the time for satirical reimagining of America is over, cuz there is nothing to reimagining its a joke country at this point.

[Jessy]

it was good but the date of the game omg thats long

[ULTRA]

The graphics are far and away better than GTA 5, but as for the actual content of the game, there's "no shot" (as the target demographic says) that I'm going to care about that

Degen. American Sim is the best word that really describes that trailer for sure.

We are in the era of great graphics, bad gameplay. I expect this to be the case with GTA 6 too. BF 2042, Modern Warfare, CS2 etc

I'm going to have to agree with this. I watched the video , yesterday , saw all the rave comments people gushing.

It's a bunch of cut scenes spliced together.

I honestly don't get it. How is any of that remotely representative of the game?

Exactly what I thought, but then I realised that we were all being taken for a ride. They wanted to hype people for the pre-order date to get pre-release sales regardless of releasing the trailer early or not. The hype manipulation is the control over the consumers I was talking about before. Social engineering. All they had to do is show off some flashy eye candy of the game's cut scenes and knew people would get a good dopamine fix to suck them in. What I don't think they counted on was the backlash over the woke and PC culture vibes their trailer depicted.

This is all one dirty mind game. What's making it worse is content creators and social platformers are literally acting how excited they were / are and mind blown while freaking out with over exaggerated excitement. Clout. Some were chill, but they still had a WTF hidden underneath their praise and excitement. Body language is important to observe.

Much of the likes on the trailer have been more than likely been artificially inflated to further hype the game. People need to remember not everything is as true as it appears to the eye. Companies and content creators can literally buy YouTube likes relatively cheap. There's lots of websites that offer such a service. Now, do the math and think about how fast the video likes soared within the time frame they did. They can inflate likes to 80 million in no time if they wanted to. For Rockstar, that that cost to them is like a price a hot dog bun for us. Peanuts. What better way to drive interest toward your game than making it appear that the masses are all sold on it? When you're company is skeevy, it's the best way. So, When people see those inflated likes (unknowing that they're artificial), they figure oh hell yeah, this must be freaking awesome, watch the trailer and the eye candy earns their like. Why? Pre-established self hype, viewership hype, nostalgia hype and lastly, eye candy hype. So it's not only inflated artificially, but there are authentic likes that pour in as a side effect of the inflated likes.

penguinz0 (YT content creator) was dumbfounded just how many likes poured in so quickly in such a short time. He too though, got hooked by the graphics. Gotcha!

Maybe I'm wrong, but maybe I'm right. We will never know because we don't see what goes on behind Rockstar's closed doors. Some may think the artificial inflation is a whole lot of hooey, but truth is, companies and content creators do use those services so it shouldn't be dismissed that Rockstar is playing a lot of mind games with us all. They've been no stranger to playing mind games with us all in the past to present, so imo, it's not an unreasonable postulation that this actually occurred.

degenerate America simulator

HAHAHA OP is so correct

[dprog1995]

Yeah, the trailer was kinda meh for me.

I like the idea of the female protagonist and her boyfriend as the main characters.

But the trailer forcused too much on NPCs making some live videos or sth.(Which is something I don't care about in a game where I play as some evil terrorist/mobster person)

It was just an introduction to the game and setting. They did exactly the same with the very first GTA V trailer.

The trailer didnt grab my heart like the others did. Not hyped at all for GTA 6 but we have a long way to go with more trailers. And if it doesnt seem appealing to me at release, I just will play something else.

There’s always going to be that one lame guy that attempts to rain on people’s parades because they are sad individuals/incels

Im gonna love it.

Someones opinion differs from yours so they must be bad right? Come on guy.

Because it was teased with 80s look of Vice City, something that a lot of people were asking the next GTA should be. Personally, my favourite GTA are the 80s Vice City games but I don't expect Rockstar can recapture the magic. It's probably gonna be a 80s-look reskin version of GTA online and swap the location name to Vice City.

There's no point in having a game in Miami that's not set in the brief period of the late 70's to mid 80's where it was cool to be in Miami.

Watching the trailer didn't make me want to play their game. Watching the trailer made me need to take a shower.

It's like Rockstar watched the early trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 where V crawls out of the slimy garbage dump and said to themselves "what if our ENTIRE game WAS the slimy garbage dump?"
