What happened to Rockstar's trailers?

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.

I like Welcome to the Jungle better.

Welcome to the Jungle is the best GTA trailer, then I Ran. :r*:

 

Sleepwalking, Ogden's Nut Gone Flake, Arm by Arm, and this new Let's Go All The Way can fight for third place :miranda:

They obviously had a larger advertising budget running up to the original release than they have for the next gen re release. The trailers don't seem to have had as much time put into them and seem less polished. There also seems to be a general lack of advertising. In the month running up to the original V release I saw TV adverts, billboards, adverts on buses and bus stops. I haven't seen any of that for the next gen release.

 

The picket fence trailer was bad though. They just picked random footage of the weirdest cut scenes in the game. Can you imagine if we saw that trailer before playing V? Our reaction would be 'WTF is this? Some saints row stupid sh*t?!'.

This last trailer contained at most maybe 5 seconds of actual gameplay? It's clear that Rockstar is all about cutscenes, machinima, scripting, and cool cinematic camera angles that have nothing to do with the actual game we see on our screens.

 

I have been saying with great sarcasm and snark for the past 3 years that Rockstar fancies themselves to be junior move moguls. But they keep proving that this is actually true.

 

Games? We don't need no stinking games. Just give us 2 hours of cutscenes that add up to a mediocre machinima movie and they think we'll lap it up. :bored:

The song in the new trailer is terribly monotonous. I can't see why people like it.

I think having the launch trailer focused on the biggest douchebag in the game is just... I dunno, weird.

First and only time I've ever gotten wood from a video game...

 

Not that great of a trailer but when it got released I was totally mindf*ckd. Anyone who played the the topdown versions and saw this for the first time probably knows the feeling.

OT: Only trailer I disliked was the S&F trailer. It seemed like it was just thrown together really fast. Since this is a re-release then i think they want to focus on most of the tech.

OMG TRAILER IS NOT CONTENDER FOR TRAILER OF THE YEAR AWARD THAT DOESN'T REALLY EXIST.

 

Who cares? I mean, really, who cares? Get your knickers fizzing about something that actually f*cking matters, yeah?

 

Or is this just another excuse to compare to IV and say how much better everything about IV is?

 

IF YOU LIKE IV'S TRAILER SO MUCH WHY DON'T YOU MARRY THEM?

Everything new is always way worse than everything old.

 

The trailers are fine. Obviously they won't have that sense of news and discovery because you've already played the game and know the ins and outs.

 

Whenever Rockstar releases a trailer for a new game, even if it's Table Tennis 2 and dudes will be fawning all over rockstar trailers being more art than the Mona Lisa.

I feel that the quality of the trailers pertaining to GTA V have been on a steady decline in quality. I still feel that the trailer we recieved on November 2011 is still the best, in my opinion.

 

Cheers.

What could make them better? gameplay? all the new features shown? different music?

 

Nothing because if they did that the complaints would be there is to much gameplay, new features and music isnt up to standard blah blah

 

lol 7 days then these cry babies can psycho analyse everything and whinge to themselves.

Do ever actually contribute to anything? Ever? You're like that little guy who hangs out with a group of bodybuilders and thinks he's all that=if you weren't in co-hoots with the mods you would have been banned already. Edited by Wayne Daniels

No he's just pissed with the in constructive negative posts made by kids who don't realise that a umpteenth trailer for a game released over a year ago doesn't have the same impact as an announcement trailer.

 

Nothing wrong with being negative about the game. But it's becoming silly and predictable and I haven't read a decent argument in weeks.

"but im not going anywhere, I am allowed to go into each positive post and put a downer on it. The developers are money grabbing c*nts and i hate them but i spend all my time on a forum about their game that i hate eughhhh .. why cant i order fried chicken, why are the wave molecules unrealistic, why arent the police uniforms specific, omg the bumper width on this car isnt correct waaaaa waaaaaa, I will be sure to remind you of my hatred for this game in every thread but im allowed my opinion waaaaaa waaa" :panic:

Yes, I do. I have been here for over 10 years providing insight and commentary. Have a look through some of my old posts, you'll see that I've been very actively providing my vision of GTA for a long, long time, and have been engaged in some of the most interesting discussions here. Bear in mind you've only been here for 2 years and have no clue as to what I've contributed.

 

Likewise, I don't see what you're contributing around here beyond swathes of negativity and argumentative posts. I've just had a skim through some of your posts and you are an objectionable, argumentative poster. Back the f*ck off.

Correct. The negativity around here has moved on from constructive criticism to continual baseless complaints about the tiniest little things, because there's a contingent of moronic, moaning fools that think finding something trivial to complain about, every single day, is impressing someone other than themselves.

 

Now, back to the matter at hand.

 

The trailer, at this point, doesn't need to be anything special, really. The majority of people buying this game already have it, or have already played it, or have seen tons of stuff about it already. What's the point in releasing a 3 minute trailer with loads of stuff in it, when they can just release a 1 minute trailer that recaps what we already know?

This topic is about the recent GTA V trailers in comparison to previous ones, the OP was disappointed with them as of late. It's something to talk about.

 

I just watched the first GTAV trailer and then the newest one in another topic. The new one just rushes by in a blur, and I keep expecting something badass to happen, and then the trailer is over with Devin's chest bump, and nothing badass happens. I guess that's what the game is for? I dunno, the trailer has weird feel to it. :whuh:

The first trailer was for a game which we knew nothing about. Of course the hype is going off the scale. New city, new vehicles, new characters, seemingly endless possibilities.

 

The latest trailer is for a game we have been playing for over a year now, but with better graphics and some added features. Don't expect the same hype. The trailer could be the best yet, but it wouldn't feel that way as we already know what to expect.

 

You are going to be more excited about getting a new car than getting a new set of shiny alloy wheels for that car a year later.

Because the characters and situations are already known, established. Giving us a brief recap makes more sense than going... "GUYS, check out this brand new game! LOOK at all this stuff in here! OMG you are going to love this!".

 

They've already successfully marketed this game once. All they need to do at this point is remind people it's returning. And that's what the last few trailers have done. They don't need to release a blockbuster trailer, they've done that.

They don't need to try, so they're half-assing it? Well, sh*t.

 

In your opinion. Its a minority view on a tiny forum but it is what it is. You should be allowed to say it, Like was mentioned i get most annoyed at the people complaining about stuff like "the police uniform badge isnt the right shade of silver, the water current isnt legit, traffic lights should change every 18 seconds not every 19 seconds, there should be 1.3 miles of extra sand to make it a realistic desert" etc etc lets boycott the game because rockstar are greedy and its all about money. The reality is they are self entitled over analytical anal nut bags. I cant imagine them growing up during the days of the nes. MARIOS MOUSTACHE IS NOT 3D, duck hunt birds fly unrealistically, The dogs laugh is not legit for a hunting dog!!! nintendo is all about cutting corners to save money boycott boycotttttttttttt.
