What happened to Rockstar's trailers?

Op is right. The recent trailers are good, but they lack the artistic quality and vibe of those of the past. I agree, however, that the most recent one wasnt intended to be anything groundbreaking.

Where'd the quality go? These last 3 trailers have been awful. Compare it to this amazing clip:

 

What does this trailer have that the last one doesn't? Apart from the DLCs.

 

I loved the yesterdays trailer. It was dynamic, funny and rises excitement.

You are drunk with hype and over-excitement, that's y you are not seeing the quality xD.

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.

Me too, I was mind blown when I saw this trailer.

For me I think this trailer was great:

 

The first next-gen trailer, 1080p, major changes being shown, no bullsh*t.

To all those complaining about the quality of contemporary GTA trailers: You're getting old, that's all :D

Sad but true :(

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.

 

I agree, I can't get the game soon but I admit it's amazing and I really hope I can get it again.

but this "MARIOS MOUSTACHE IS NOT 3D" Loooooooooooooooooooooooool

All the trailers were good in my opinion, the best for me was the first one for The Ballad Of Gay Tony (You'll always be the king of this town) and the second from GTA Vice City stories, overall GTAV trailers were all amazing, Picket fence was different but great and yesterday's was good and I'm still re-watching it

but hey.. everyone with his opinion

I think you're missing the point of the new gen trailers compared to trailers for the games that weren't already released.

 

The trailers before the new gen reveal trailer were different because they were meant to be a glimpse into a story that you haven't played yet, and they did it very well. The new gen trailers are meant to be a showcase of what is new and why you should buy it again, and they have done that very well.

 

They aren't story trailers like before. They are showcase trailers.

Not well enough. The user made videos of the game will showcase why I should or should not buy it again.

Umm.. What new things did the latest trailer glimpse at?

Graphics was done in the E3 trailer.. FPV in the FPV trailer.. this trailer shows... the same with a slight story glimpse?

Let's yeasterday i said a same thing about that last trail-crap which R* released also picked fence and dog name skip, fps were tottal sh*ts. But i liked a lot that pc/ps4/xo prewiev trailer with that song from mirror park.

 

Definetlly best were TREVOR, MICHAEL trailers, and of course second with skeletons by Stevie Wonder. Quality comes rapidly down, and we can only hope that PC trailer will be much better than this mess.

I think Rockstar creates the best trailers in the game world imo. They have action, music, humor, and they look fantastic! Sometimes, they're dark, like a lot of the IV trailers, sometimes they're upbeat like V.

Launch trailer was the worst yet in my opinion. Besides the music and scenes which does not correspond at all, I could not feel that usual vibe which mostly all GTA trailers had in the past.

I think for a lot of people, anything showing video of GTA is enough, even it it was just a few bits, i watched thinking ohhhhh myyyyyyy gooooodddddd. Being critical though, 7 to 10.

This one is my favourite.

Same here. It's a personal preference, but I always prefer trailers that showcase the environment.

 

Another great one:

 

 

It was great at the time because it brought back a lot of features fans wanted.

 

Man I love that scene where is switches between explosions and the club

I would agree that Rockstar makes great GTA trailers. They are wonderful scripted machinima with great camera angles and tight editing. Score +1 for Rockstar marketing's trailer creation team. It's just too bad they don't represent gameplay, or animations that we can control, or camera angles that we can achieve. Well, at least the gameplay trailers contain

part of the time.

It would be funny if rockstar made a pre-rendered trailer, like some other devs do. 'Not actual gameplay' on the bottom of the screen in tiny white writing. It would be a kind of joke.

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:

You're f*cking kidding me, right?

Yes, this statement was meant to be sarcasm. But what I'm on about is that Rockstar continually uses custscene video and cool developer camera tools to fill their trailers, which misrepresents the actual game. I don't buy a game to watch cutscenes.

 

As I said in this thread further above, Rockstar does make masterful trailers, but the trailers are a product in their own right, not honest game advertisements. Of course, all movies do the same thing, and making great trailers is an art form in itself.

IV's trailers decimated any of V's, even the debut one.

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?

Can you just put that condescending PC ''master race'' arrogant attitude aside once and for all? What makes you think the PC release will even get a release trailer? And if it does, it's most probable that the trailers are put together by a certain team and not those who are tasked with actually developing the game like the programmers or modelling artist and sh*t. There will most probably be only a few screens as they've promised.

And, the PC version won't even be that much more different than the next gen version so yeah....

PC won't get even a trailer, let alone a full blown launch trailer and comparison trailers like the f*cking consoles.

 

But that's a topic all by itself, the sh*tty treatment pc players get from Rockstar. This topic is about the general decline in quality of Rockstar's trailers over the last year.

IV's trailers were pretty bad.

But PC will get so much more! the mods, imagine playing gta 5 with them really realistic graphics mods! You and every PC gamer everywhere can rub that in the faces of console gamers everywhere. Can you not take solace in that sir?!

New trailers are meant to show off the visual and technological improvements to the game, not show off the game itself.
