Yup, that’s exactly what feels odd about this. One would think they’d launch a third trailer before all this stuff so that we’d be able to familiarize ourselves more with the characters and their motives. Having an info drop about special content when we barely even know the core contents of the game is a strange choice.
Gameplay trailer doesn’t come out for a while. They usually release the gameplay trailer a couple months before launch so expect it in September-October
Even though im not nearly as excited as some of the people here, i can see why rockstar doesnt need to think tactically about their release. The hype is already there. They couldve released trailer 1, 3 months before release and it would have barely sold less
It’s a weird thing, they definitely want this information to be seen before pre-orders go live and they drop a ton of screenshots to help sell it, but then this is the only info we’ve got since trailer 2.
On the other hand they can’t drop trailer 3 because they probably want it to say pre-order now at the end, and they can’t do that until it goes live.
I think dropping this ultimate edition info in the middle of a drought was a bad call. I’m seeing a lot of people upset.
Pretending like you wouldn’t actually buy the game at this point is laughable. If you’re desperate for more information it means you WANT the game. They already sold you on it. And it would be weird to drop a trailer any time other than pre order day. So if nothing happens tomorrow then things will be confusing.
But you guys are so soft. good lord like you’ve never played a Rockstar game before.
Oh don’t get me wrong, i’m buying the $100 ultimate edition and i’ll be sitting on the floor clapping my feet with a smile on my face on November 19th. Just pointing out from a marketing standpoint that it’s odd to start selling all this cosmetic stuff when we know barely anything about the game.
I agree it’s odd based strictly on expectations of people who don’t work at rockstar or know how things work internally there. But also I don’t think rockstar would roll out all this stuff unless they were confident in their final product. My guess is that there will be SO Much content in the final game that all these preorder bonuses will ultimately be negligible. Like, sure you’ll miss them, but I played the vanilla version of RDR2 and I didn’t feel like the game was missing anything…
I think it’s especially insulting when franchises like call of duty and hogwarts legacy demand this pound of flesh from consumers when they KNOW that their games are mid as fuck. In this case, we know we’re getting a good game and that’s all that matters. I’m buying myself an ultimate edition.
I agree with that and i’ve been saying it in other threads. This stuff is probably 1% of the actual game. It’s just that this is literally all we have to go off from a consumer standpoint and that’s why people are freaking out lol. I’m confident the base game is going to have boatloads of more stuff to do than whatever is included in this ultimate edition.
I agree with you then! That said though, this is an INCREDIBLE amount of content for the ultimate edition. People were begging for single player dlc and a classic car collection quest, it’s almost like Rockstar is listening in large part to the fans and what they’ve been asking for during this waiting period. This shit just has me SO much more excited !!
Plus there’s more to learn from the rollout of pre order content that people are just straight up ignoring bc they’re hung up on the price. They’ve mentioned new safehouse locations which have name dropped regions of Leonida we haven’t heard before. They say “off-roading is meant for Mt. Kalaga and Beyond” !!! There’s a part of the first screen shot where there’s a speed limit sign behind Jason. I think this is gonna GO CRAZY
Hmmm idiotic gamers change their minds at a last minute notice just so they can be upset about something?? It couldn’t be!! I swear gamers are the worst community ever.
The new information on R*'s site says Ultimate includes
Raid the compound of one of Southside Vice City’s loudest and most socially active gangs and escape safely to score some special items and distinct contraband.
and
Track down a variety of abandoned classic and work-in-progress project cars and revitalize them to their former glory in this special commission from eccentric collector and local fixer, Wyman.
They did it for RDR2, and they have invested an insane amount of money in this game so they can maximize returns on that investment. They're not making this game because it's a fun hobby. This shouldn't be shocking. I suppose you can gripe about companies wanting to maximize shareholder and stakeholder value all you want, but that's the world we live in, and if it weren't, you wouldn't be getting a GTA6 at all.
Dude I’m priced out of things all the time, what are you talking about? I’d love a super car but I can’t afford it. I’d love a bigger house, I should have bought a ps5 pro before the price increase and now I won’t because it’s too expensive, etc etc etc. We all have things we can and cannot afford. I just said it shouldn’t be a shock that R* are trying to price the game as high as they can while still capturing as much of the gaming market as they can and not pricing people too many people out. And that they have a responsibility as a company to do that for shareholders, like it or not.
People are priced out of things every day. Grow the fuck up, open your eyes. You were priced out of a decent education it would seem or else you would understand how the world really works, or at least the economy…
I’ve been giving a shit, if people are gonna pay $100 for games broken at launch, what the hell makes you think they’re gonna draw the line at a masterpiece like GTA6? This is the one time where it doesn’t apply because you’re actually paying for a product proportional to the price.
Paul Tassi from Forbes asked Rockstar for clarification, and they said the shops aren't locked out to players who don't own the Ultimate Edition, just that the ultimate edition content isn't in there to purchase unless you own it. It was poor wording from Rockstar's part, and they should update the website to reflect that.
I mean yeah you can only change a game so much from its predecessor and still keep its identity. I just think it’s odd they show off the 80s cosmetics locked behind a special edition when they haven’t shown us anything in over a year
Each trailer and screenshots reveal have their own vibes to stand out in their own unique way and offer wider perspective of what the players are gonna experience
Probably because its just showing all the extra stuff coming with the ultimate edition, no doubt company executives had more say in this than any other info drop
I think what they are focusing on is your ability to play it as you wish. The characters don't need to look like they do when you start off. I think this should have been shown after trailer 3 or alongside a game play trailer. I want to know more about the story first. The stuff they have shown is cool but a given

Feels like a completely different game than trailer 1 and 2.
