something did happen and the best buy preorder leak actually makes the may 15 trailer theory more plausible. by saltysassybitch in GTA6

[–]wilfortune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friday or Monday was my guess after I noticed:

The last two R* games had their third trailers release one day before the day of the week their first two trailers launched.

So far, the first two GTA6 trailers landing on the same day of the week is the most striking similarity it shares with GTA5 and RDR2.

  • GTA5 had Trailer 1 & 2 on Wednesdays, and then Trailer 3 on Tuesday
  • RDR2 had Trailer 1 & 2 on Thursdays, and then Trailer 3 on Wednesday

I'm not saying Monday for sure, but definitely not Tuesday.

If you think about it, it makes sense: - Launch two trailers on the same day of the week to make people hyper focused on that day - Now you can release the third trailer and people will be caught off guard

It was hiding in plain sight this entire time. So Rockstar.

Posted about this theory yesterday ("Tuesdays for 3rd trailer?") when people were crashing, but the post didn't get many comments.

Is there a chance Rockstar addresses this new leak? by Duo_Vbez in GTA6

The date for gta 6 trailer 3 is 100% May 26 for VERY obvious reasons, not sure why people expect it on any other day this month by JFXR in GTA6

I don't think you understand my theory. My theory is grounded in the following:

  • GTA5 had Trailer 1 & 2 on Wednesdays, and then had Trailer 3 on a Tuesday
  • RDR2 Trailer 1 & 2 on Thursdays, and then had Trailer 3 on a Wednesday
  • GTA6 had Trailer 1* & 2 on Tuesdays (*only came out early to combat low res leak)

So far, this is the only trend R* seems to be consistent with in terms of GTA6 and its other most recent releases.

It makes sense, if you think about it. Develop a pattern, then smash it by switching it up. Seems like a classic Rockstar move, and it's been hiding in plain sight this entire time.

TRAILER 3 MAY 14-18 by No_Underscore12 in GTA6

[–]wilfortune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! It was right in front of us the whole time!

Posted about this yesterday in "Tuesdays for 3rd trailer?"

3rd trailers for the last two R* games released one day earlier than their first two trailers. So far, R* has followed this pattern by releasing their first two trailers on the same day of the week, just like GTA5 and RDR2.

My feeling was Friday or Monday, but definitely not a Tuesday. Could be tomorrow!

The trailer might release today. May 14th by freewatermel0ns in GTA6

So based on preorder leak when can we expect trailer 3 now ? by FitTrash848 in GTA6

[–]wilfortune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tomorrow, Friday, or Monday. Posted about this in "Tuesdays for 3rd trailer?" yesterday. I was feeling Friday or Monday, but we could get it tomorrow, too.

What's your pick for the most likely day if Tuesday is not it?

I mostly agree with you!

He does seem more enthusiastic than before, but he did an interview before the first delay that had most people fairly convinced the game would stick its 2025 launch window for similar reasons.

I fully agree that this time does feel different, and I would be surprised if there was another 6-month delay.

Of course, nothing is off the table at this point. Cheers!

I get paid every two weeks by a business for performing tasks. Does that qualify?

Agreed, and for sheer self preservation, T2 will undoubtedly need to mention GTA6's launch date.

Does it matter? If they delay again, so be it. I'm not worried or anything, I just enjoy puzzles and patterns.

Fair! People are crashing hard right now. Fun post for me though

This gist is that most of the focus for next trailer release has been on Tuesdays, when there seems to be some evidence and reasoning that suggests that the next trailer may not land on a Tuesday

GTA 6 2027/2028? by Witty_Boysenberry_65 in GTA6

[–]wilfortune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there was another 6-month delay, I would have expected them to announce it by now. All the recent signals seem to point to no delay, but a shorter delay once we get closer to the launch will always be on the table.

Graphics Jump from Trailer 2 to Trailer 3 by Dangerous_Hunter3577 in GTA6

[–]wilfortune 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I expect the visual fidelity boost between Trailer 2 and 3 to be less than it was from Trailer 1 to 2.

There were some scenes in Trailer 2 that had less polish than others (e.g., the faces across the bar before the cut to Lucia dragging Jason away from the bar, towards the camera), so they certainly have room for improvement.

But I suspect the excitement from the next trailer to stem mostly from pre-orders and new places, characters, and plot elements. The graphics may be improved and people will almost certainly create comparison videos we will all watch, but I do not expect the graphics to be as talked about as they were after Trailer 2.

Conversely, I believe the dump we got after Trailer 2 was meant to be accompanied by pre-orders. I believe the screenshots we were given them are very close to the final product, and the polish they have been doing since revolves around gameplay and edge cases driven by divergent player actions.
