As the wait for GTA 6 slowly but surely gets shorter, curiosity grows for more content such as a fancy new third trailer. A former employee of Rockstar Studios is also looking forward to new images along with the waiting fans, but reminds that they should be consumed with caution.
What does the former employee warn about? The former Rockstar employee and Environment Artist David O’Reilly has worked on projects like Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA 5, and the highly anticipated GTA 6. In an episode of the podcast “KIWI TALKZ” on YouTube, he spoke about the next trailer for the blockbuster title and that he is just as excited as many fans.
“I can hardly wait for the next trailer – all the things I still have no idea about, the characterization, seeing this city that is so much more detailed than the last time I roamed through it,” explains the developer on YouTube, but adds an important warning:
“When making a trailer, you pay attention to where the camera is positioned, and that shot is refined down to the smallest detail.”
Here you can see the first trailer for GTA 6, which was probably at least as refined as the third one will be:
Trailers often rely more on vibes than on an accurate representation of the game
Why does the developer warn? O’Reilly warns on YouTube about false expectations that could be fueled by a fancy trailer:
“What isn’t shown won’t be perfectly prepared either,” he says, “That’s not what the whole world looks like, at least not by that time. One focuses on the areas that are shown in the trailer.”
O’Reilly addresses this consciously due to his own experience with reactions to previous titles, to preemptively address these statements.
“It’s unreasonable to criticize the differences between a trailer and the final product, as so many people do. Just like with GTA 5 and RDR2, they make comparisons and all that, and you think: Chill out, man, it’s a trailer. It’s not finished yet. It’s a polished work-in-progress version.”
Does the developer reveal more about GTA 6? The Environment Artist states that he does not have any further details available since he was only involved in the artistic area. In response to many people’s inquiries about the story, he could never provide a satisfying answer:
“I worked on it for five years, but I have no idea about the storyline, except that I knew there were two characters, and that was about all I knew.”
The CEO of Take-Two, the publisher of GTA 6, probably knows a little more, even if he reveals just as little about the story. Still, he gives a hint about who GTA 6 will truly appeal to: The head of GTA 6 knows which gamers will play it: “You still listen to the same music as you did when you were 17”
