Yeah, this guy is right, this was the first trailer. But then again, gta4 was a huge jump visually from gta3 so this kind of trailer made sense. GTA5 can't have the same visual jump since it's still running on 360 and ps3, so I don't think the trailer will be purely "look at the city!"

If it IS San AN, I wouldn't mind a pure scenery jump trailer, and with a closing shot of our character. Then again, I have no idea what to expect. I just want my mind blown.

So traditionally, how long between these trailer premieres and the actual release of the game?

I think that we'll see this game in stores between April of and October 2012.

Rockstar, when it comes to marketing GTA games, tend to err on a tight adverting/pr ship. Vice City was revealed in July 2002, came out October 2002. San Andreas was revealed in May of 2004, and released October 2004. GTAIV was announced in 2007, and was supposed to have a 7 month marketing campaign until release but was delayed, but this still put it just a year shy of its initial reveal.

Whenever Rockstar unveils a new GTA game, it's coming soon and they make a huge deal out of it because they have to get their PR machines a turnin'.

Even with the same gen engine as 4 if the environment is huge and varied they will get away with a scenic trailer. I really can't imagine story or characters being featured that much.

Yeah, this needs to be a regular feature in every Rockstar game. I was so disappointed I couldn't catapult my horse into the stratosphere in Red Dead Redemption.

They seriously knew how to turn a few months of waiting into feeling like a year plus long wait. San Andreas was the worst up until a few weeks before launch, it made the wait so unbearable.

There used to be a launch glitch you could do by crouching by a hitching post at Bonnie's ranch but I think it got patched out.

I would say anything that shows game content = trailer.

Now if it was just black bg and text with some music saying "Coming 2012" then I wouls say teaser.

A GTA set in one of Europe's most sightly city with a somewhat significant criminal underground? Doesn't sound all that ridiculous to me. Tbh I sort of wanna play that now.

I hope that this time, Rockstar isn't so into hyping this game up that they refuse to show anyone but the press what the gently caress the game is like until it hits shelves. They didn't really post ANY raw gaemplay footage at all for GTAIV.

One of the comments in that video reminded me GTAV needs to bring back "GOURANGA" for running down the Hare Krishna. With Euphoria physics that would be hilarious.

I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.
