That's why R* doesn't release a second trailer

Statistics from the first trailer on Youtube. Views, ratings, and favourites are still on steady rise since 11/2, with no sings of decline. Which means that the first trailer is still gaining popularity without losing interest. Pretty amazing. So, Rockstar knows that the first trailer is still enormously popular out there and they want more and more people to search and see it, before releasing a second one.

 

I'm not saying that' we won't see a new trailer anytime soon, but imho this is an obvious marketing strategy from Rockstar.

Possibly, but I doubt that's the real reason. I think R* released the trailer to stop some of the bitching (even though it would come back very soon), and it brings them attention (especially when trying to market Max Payne 3). Some might disagree, but I'm pretty damn sure R* will get Max Payne 3 out of the way before we get the next trailer. We can, however, possibly expect the second trailer to be released within June or July. The release of the second trailer will most likely be released on R*'s site (just like the first trailer). It's not going to be released at E3 or any other video game convention.

Could be the reason, but I have 1 question. Does YouTube count multiple views?

 

Also it looks like they hit 10 million mid December, meaning they have a steady view flow of a little over 1 million a month. If they count multiple views then I'm responsible for at least 3.

@Tilemaxx - It's true that the numbers are high, but you also have to take into account the fact that at least 3/4 of the views are from repeat viewers.

 

When the trailer first released, I watched it about 200 times in November, and maybe 40 times since. (This is only counting the RockstarGames Youtube. I've watched the HD version that I downloaded from R* at least 1000 times)

 

Off-topic fun fact.

Everytime this screen pops up, I hear the "Why did I move hear..."

I can see where you're coming from here. R* probably will release a second trailer eventually, and may already have plans to do so, but there's no need for them to do so until this trailer starts to decline in popularity. The only reason for them to rush would be if the release date is in the very near future, but they're not doing that, which shows that we still have a while to wait. How long is a while? I'm not so sure. You'll have to work that one out yourself.

Rockstar released the trailer to lure stock-holders back in to 2K games after they reported huge losses, you guys never saw that? :S

Yeah, we know that. The OP is trying to say that the views are still increasing at a good rate considering how long the trailer has now been out for. Most popular videos would be increasing at a much slower one, but this is still clearly gaining a large number of views after being out for so long.

So MP3 trailer has just under 1,000,000 views and GTA V has over 13,500,000 views. Well that tells you GTA V is more popular than MP3

After all this promotions of Max Payne 3 the views are 998,436 lol.

Well.. Did you expect Max Payne 3 Trailer to have more views or something??? you cant compare the mighty GTA to Max Payne 3, sont get me wrong MP3 looks like a really good game but GTA V will still be better.

 

@OP good point, but i think the reason R* didnt release a 2nd trailer for GTA V is that they are busy marketing Max Payne 3, i think we will have a 2nd trailer in june or july.

Just my 2 cents

If i were a gaming company and released all this information about the game and promote it like hell make 3 articles in one day about that game on the main page of my site i would expect more views then 1 million, and no i didn't say Max Payne 3 is better than GTA V.

It all comes down to R*s marketing plans. Nothing else.

So releasing an advertisement for your product is a marketing strategy? WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED THAT?

I'd say many people watch this like about once a week or something. that duplicates views.

I don't think it's racism, it's just a sh*t country.

 

Went there in 2009 to Athens, the whole city was caked in a thick layer of pollution, there are feral cats all over the place, and there were people clinging onto the bottom of our tour bus hoping to get a ride back to Italy to escape the sh*thole economy and country that is Greece/Turkey etc.

For f*ck sake. Stay on topic. This isn't about Greece you idiots. confused.gif

 

Anyway this probably isn't the reason. The 2nd trailer will be released when it's ready.

That's not the reason why a 2nd trailer hasn't been released yet, it could be a factor in their marketing decisions but it wont be the major deciding factor. They already know when they're going to release a 2nd trailer, we just have to wait and see.
