So we hating on trailers now huh?

 

The character trailers before GTA V was released were great.

 

So were the two PS4/Next gen trailers imo.

I just saw a post that said the exact opposite thing :p

 

that the new trailer today was the best since Vice City

 

and another person said that today's was "just as bad as IV's" and that the second Strangers & Freaks trailer was the best one of the HD era

 

 

so..... it's subjective :D

 

 

for every person that agrees with you, probably at least one that disagrees haha

ROCKSTAR MANIC

IDK what you guys think But 3rd Era Trailers are the best. its a conjunction of action, theme, what its going on (in the trailer), and the music. And that is what makes them so memorable.

 

Today's was great. But i didn't catch a Whole San Andreas Vibe to it. or Lack there of.

That ''amazing'' clip doesn't really seem that ''amazing'' at all.

 

Of course it doesn't really seem that "amazing" to you because you hate IV, we already know that. :sigh:

Maybe you just aren't very good at recognizing quality?

 

The ONLY reason these new trailers seem "meh", is because R* has spoiled us with trailers like the ones we got leading up to the release of last-gen.

 

Those trailers were godlike. These new ones are still great, way better than what any other publisher is putting out, but they simply cannot stack up to the likes of Trailer 1, Trailer 2, or the character trailers.

 

Only R* can make R* look bad.

Thing is back then GTAV wasn't out yet, we didn't know that much about it so that's why the old trailers for it were more exciting, this time around we pretty much know the game, so that's why a higher % of folks are like "meh". Still these trailers ain't so bad.

Honestly what do you expect? Its a basic release trailer of things we've all seen before. It wasn't meant to be a spectacular trailer...

GTA V Is On PC

I actually agree somewhat with what your are saying. I honestly did not like the "Picket Fence" trailer at all, as it felt like a last minute put together of random strangers and freaks missions. The very first GTA V trailer was pretty darn good, and pretty much all of the pre release V trailers were of good quality as well.

 

The official trailer was alright, showing off some of the graphics and such, but I would have liked another E3 type trailer.

 

I'm hoping we will see a pretty neat PC trailer.

The best gta trailer ever was a fan made one before GTA4 launched. It was like 4 minutes of pure awesome in it and i think it ended with "Don't Stop Believin" as the music. Anyone remember that. Was better than anything rockstar has ever put out as a trailer.

I taught the trailer was great it reminded me of the way R* made some of the old GTA trailers , its just a launch trailer after all..

As always, we're all entitled to our own opinions, thoughts and beliefs. I for one really liked The Official PlayStation 4 and Xbox One Launch Trailer for Grand Theft Auto V.

The game is already out, so Rockstar probably stopped caring about the quality of them. Just throw in random clips with a random song and a trailer is made. Won't lie though, the E3 Next Gen trailer was amazing.

But that's the thing, I played EFLC multiple times and that trailer still gives me tingly feelings. It's that good. All the old trailers were incredible.

 

It's these last 3 main trailers that have been terrible. Picket fence is easily the worst but this official launch trailer is weak too and the ONLY reason the first trailer from E3 was so exciting is because it was the first official acknowledgement of next gen GTA V.

 

They all lack the power and hype that the pre-release trailers had, and much less than the past games trailers.

@ OP. GTA V's Trailer II was way better than that! I think the reason some people hate on trailers (albeit not the only reason) is because of the song used in it.(The post above this tells all, if that'd trailer used some slow country or R&B song you think he'd like it as much) I mean its kinda obvious, if you like old school/80's rock you're gonna watch Michael's trailer and then mind blown but then you might watch Franklin's a be like meh. IMO that's probably a big factory, if you're more genre diversed this won't ever be a problem for you though.

The game is out in only 1 week, of course people have to find something like this to nitpick, lol.

 

I am amused

Welcome to the jungle ladies. NOTHING WILL EVER TOP THIS. EVER. ever.

 

I would say this isn't just the best GTA trailer but one of the best video game trailers ever made.

For me it's this:

 

On the heels of San Andreas, New consoles, reboot, this trailer was mind blowing at the time. Anyone who was here around then might remember.

For me the "picket fence" trailer that came out in September my least favorite V trailer. The music, the theme and what they showed just didn't click. Honestly a rare misstep for R*. Every other trailer however has been alright.

Of course it doesn't really seem that "amazing" to you because you hate IV, we already know that. :sigh:

 

No it doesn't seem amazing because it looks quite dull in most action shots and the music doesn't help, it's not that I hate IV. Infact I play IV once in a while and it somehow manages to feel new and fresh, other GTA games apart from IV and V almost seem like a guilty pleasure now. So f*ck off, would you kindly?

I just realised this was introducing the brand new HD GTA and the trailer is called "Things will be Different." I JUST GOT IT :O

we'll just have to wait for a proper PC release trailer. People in charge with pc release actually knows how to edit a video, unlike those in charge with consoles, cause they obviously play too much console and no edit skills, amirite?
