Adriaan Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Who here remembers this number, and the craziness surrounding it over the years? I captured the above pic a couple of months ago. Laughed when I saw it. Hope everyone that was here during all of the craziness is doing well!

Racecarlock Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 All that bullsh*t and it was over the second trailer for the game. Now we have the game. I love the future.

The Odyssey Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Also the "Balcony Guy" AKA Ned Luke (more commonly known now as Michael De Santa), The "Red Car Guy", CJ was the black guy being chased by cops, people thought the guy at the golf course was Niko and Michael was Tommy.

Johan Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Yes, back when people took other idiot's speculations from numbers on a trailer seriously. Can't wait for their next game just to see what other dates these people can throw at us.

Shoumaker Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Oh I certainly remember, used to post in the V section all the time back then. Any section of a GTA game before release has a different feel to it and I can't wait till the next one is announced so it all starts again.

Racecarlock Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I'm lost, did I miss something? So, the first GTA V trailer was released at the tail end of 2011 and people were excited as f*ck. Then we heard nothing, then we heard more nothing. Almost the entire year of 2012 went by with nothing. Needless to say, you know what forum you're on, GTA fans, including me, went crazy. I started hounding rockstar on the newswire because they wouldn't stop marketing max payne 3 when they knew what we really wanted. Other people on this forum noticed the number "2405" in the first trailer as the address of one a random house they chose to look at for some reason. People took this to mean that a new trailer or a new screenshot or a new any god damn thing at all (we were desperate) would come out on may 24th 2012. Even I had a BIT of hope, but knew nothing would come out. And surprise surprise, nothing did. So, naturally, we took this in stride and learned not to glom on random numbers in trailers- HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Of course that's not what happened. Instead, both this forum and the newswire was FLOODED with comments asking where the news we thought was coming was. The news wire was flooded, this forum had more than one "I'm disappointed in no news today" topic, and even I sent rockstar a few messages on mouthoff saying "Look at what you did, rockstar. This is why you market games we want more". More or less. We were basically a CEO's wet dream, getting excited over not just a game, but the commercials for a game. It was insanity. And of course for all of those years including 2011 before the first trailer was out, we also had a "Will we see it at e3?" thread.

Capricornus Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Those were some epic ass days. Not to mention when R* pissed so many people off with that whole "in a few weeks or so" response.
