What Was Revealed in the First Trailer?
Rockstar's commitment to realism is evident from the initial GTA VI trailer. The game world is incredibly lifelike, showcasing stunning visuals, from Vice City sunrises to dynamic weather and intricate transportation systems. The trailer also hinted at social media integration, diverse wildlife, and even alligators!
A key fan observation is the seemingly reverse chronological storytelling. For example, Lucia's handcuffed state in some scenes contrasts with her freedom during an earlier heist, suggesting her arrest followed a failed escape. This subtle detail adds narrative depth. The trailer also suggested consequences for leaving certain areas, a potentially groundbreaking addition to the series.
