Rockstar Games developers disappointed with premature GTA 6 trailer release

A few Rockstar Games developers have predictably expressed their disappointment with the prematurely released GTA 6 trailer.

I understand what they must have felt but cat is out of the bag now and the trailer is the best thing to come from this gen, so that should make them happy I guess.

Here's a cool thread breakdown from a game director gushing over some of the development details in the GTA VI trailer.

Oh no. They can cry in the money they are about to make.

[-Foxtrot]

Maybe next time just say “trailer coming tomorrow” rather than a month lead up. Less chance of people overthinking within a day and leaking it.

[NotoriousWhiz]

Leakers going to leak. Doesn't matter what if any lead up they have.

[-Foxtrot]

By the time they did though you wouldn’t have to wait long before the actual trailer

These leaks have been going to on for a few days now

[DarXyde]

I would personally just say "announcement".

Wouldn't even specify a trailer.

It really does suck though. The anticipation of having something huge to show after a decade of silence, and it gets leaked. I get it.

[RAFTECH26]

The trailer was meh….. to be honest.
I’ll wait for the next trailer

A lot of youtube content creators are trying to hype up the game with reactions to get views… I get it…. But c’mon it was mid …. At best

[Jin_Sakai]

Meh? GTA6 trailer was fire. Visuals are incredible and the amount of NPCs on the beach was crazy. Best looking game the gen by a mile.

[badz149]

THAT! He was trying to highlight just THAT! People are overhyping this like the 2nd coming. And by a mile? Sure...if you have been limiting yourself to only game on the Series S this whole gen.

[NotoriousWhiz]

I don't know about best looking game, but like GTA V (on the PS3/360), this will probably be the game that pushes these consoles to the limits. Not just because of graphics, but the huge number of NPCs, the open environment, and who knows what kind of physics we can expect.

[RaidenBlack]

People are actually anticipating the new advanced simulation(s) from the density in the trailer & experience from RDR2.
Not entirely the visuals alone.
I get your point. Its not super-jaw-dropping from the visuals alone. But the R* trademark simulation & scale will surely wow us. (but its pretty good-looking, ngl)

[KwietStorm_BLM]

It's the exact type of trailer #1 we always get with GTA, an overview of the location with small story elements and lots of pedestrian clips. The reason this one looks so good is because they really captured Miami and don't seem to be filtering out anything. And we can already tell the civilian depth is a whole lot higher than what we're used to. The animations and the color grading also looks great, and it fits the theme. YouTubers react to everything anyway. Why do you feel this is any different? And what else are you going g to do but wait for the next trailer? We all have to wait for it.

[LightofDarkness]

I would want to see massive changes in quest design and emergent gameplay in order to be excited at all. I do not and will not ever understand the hype behind these games, they’re just edgy teen bait with poor gameplay fundamentals and ever more restrictive quest design. Big fat MEH.

[EazyC]

How does this actually happen? I assume someone in the inner circle at R* did it?

[dumahim]

Rockstar disappointed. I'm guessing 2K is going to come down hard on the guy who didn't secure his computer.

[ReelBigMike]

The GTA series is possibly my favorite of all-time, and I would feel bad for just about any other dev if there was a leak like this. But as far as I'm concerned, after spending over a decade milking GTA V with low effort online content and microtransactions with zero single player content...this is simply R* reaping what they've sown.

[Zombieburger638]

Pc gamers have to wait year again and have everything spoiled for us. I’m glad things got leaked and I hope it happens again. They care so much about leaks but f**k pc gamers getting spoiled.

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

The Master Race being treated like second-class as always.

[Babadook7]

It's probably because of piracy. Thats the reality for PC. You get to play everything for free (or just try it if you're more honest).

Don't expect it day one though.

[Walalon]

To be honest, after the Sony incident taking out things that you bought digitally without giving you a refund and just saying "I'm sowwyy" make piracy a more honest way of thinking if companies are gonna take out the things you buy just for the sake of it.

Now Rockstar it's afraid of Pc? I don't think so to be honest, because even with pirates GTA V sold like hot pancakes... Probably they are fixing their platform Rockstar Games Launcher and release it only there for X months before jumping to Steam, GOG and Epic.

[maniacmayhem]

Considering a release in 2025, who cares if it was a day early

[Elda]

The trailer should have been released a year from now, knowing the game is not releasing well over a year from now.

[shinoff2183]

I don't think it's that big of a deal. It still got mad views.

[moomoo319]

Boo hoo

[S2Killinit]

PS5 slim growing on me. Similar to prior slims , they grow on you.

Sorry wrong article. This n4g new design is confusing, and the ads moving my page up and down doesn't help.
