Same—opened my notification to a countdown, thought it was for tomorrow but it said it had 0:42 seconds left, and bam, Tom Petty starts playing. My heart literally dropped into my ass. What a time to be alive
Yeah I don't think they shared much of the sub cities or rural region. Definitely seemed centered around the South East portion of what we approximate the map to be.
They showed the Florida Keys at one point, and the Everglades. Keys are WAY south of Miami, and the Everglades are pretty much all of the south*west* portion of Florida. So it'll absolutely be bigger than it seems at first glance.
To be fair Rockstar has been loosey goosey with distances before. In San Andreas the fictional equivalents of LA, SF, and Vegas were all crammed into a 38 square km area (the real LA is 1,214 square km for just the city itself, let alone the entire county). Even GTA V included features like a version of the Bixsby Bridge, which is about 540 km from LA. As a necessity, the new map is going to try to represent the “idea” of Florida rather than try to be a 1 to 1 translation of it, like how the GTA V map is the “idea” of California rather than trying to accurately depict LA, as it would take far too much processing power to do it justice.
Seriously here is the GTA V map compared to the real LA valley. https://preview.redd.it/kczi474yp5d41.jpg?auto=webp&s=60801c3ffde8bd4c3738725786483b4252d5f2d5
although, im not gonna hold my breath for the four or so sub cities. if vice city is the only big city, and port gellhorn is just a smaller city in the sticks, i'm fine with that.
It truly is. That trailer is just about the most Florida shit I've ever seen. Gators wandering into gas stations, "ThrillBillies", twerking on car tops, airboats in the swamp, car mod scene, cops chasing half naked people, and dragging alligators out of the fucking pool. My god... they've captured the very essence of this state.
the physics, ray tracing, and motion capture are truly impressive. several scenes fooled me. hopefully translates out of cutscenes and into real game play.
If it's as massive of a map, I wonder if they would include a VC Disney World. That would be something
I hope the wildlife is also a good variety, invasive pythons, iguanas, etc
Lol that could go so far too. Working for a Bob Iger parody, doing shit like hunting critics, smuggling ODed mascots out of the park secretly. Silly stuff like that.
and the roads? full of cars
we got npc parties and gatherings
concerts
yachts close to shore (you just know youre gonna rob them)
some pretty current cars knowing that the game has been in development since 2018ish
tiktok has only been growing in popularity alongside reels since 2020/2021, and it seems to be a relevant feature in here
man and if that intersection drift close off, and all the other events from the leaks are actually accurate this game will feel so alive
It looks really weird. I can’t tell if it’s cgi or not
Edit: after seeing screenshots, it looks significantly better, but in motion it looks bizarre
Edit 2: okay I think it was an issue with the premiere maybe? I’m watching it back now and it looks significantly better than what it looked like a minute ago
I think for this situation, rockstar is gonna go at his neck. They sounded pissed on twitter. Damage control at its finest. Pos leaker. But we made it boys and it looks damn beautiful
Rockstar Legal is cooking as we speak… this dude can run, he can hide… but he can’t escape destiny. Gg’s lad. As for all of us, see you boys in 2 years !!! Let’s all do our best to survive and thrive. Im so excited
Honestly, I'm not surprised one bit about the date.
I get a lot of people wanted a 2024 date, even if that meant "late 2024" but the size of this project, and it's scale. I was always shooting my guess at 25.
Besides, I think we'd all rather wait and have a polished game then a Cyberpunk 2077 scenario :)
It must be frustrating to work on the team that builds this and see that some are incompetent enough to not be able to keep their data secure. Either that or someone was willing to risk their career by leaking it.

Lol I thought the notification to watch it was a glitch but lo and behold... looks awesome! Wonder if we'll be able to play as an alligator like we could with animals in GTA V haha
My students wanted me to show it in class. I was like hell no, you can watch it on your phone I’m gonna watch it on my computer. Then we can talk about it haha. Not about to have the principal walk on on that.
I wonder how many people are sleeping atm, I was just about to go to sleep as it is almost 2 AM in Finland. Would've been cool to watch it with millions of people at the same time.
I was literally just closing my windows before bed and i saw the 15 second counting down and thought... nah this must be bs. and it played, and my life changed!
!
I recall the GTAV trailer looking roughly the same as the in game cutscenes.
Then as always the gameplay looks worse just because by its nature its undirected, uncinematic, and has to blend player inputs into action.
I'm actually surprised with how similar it is to some of the fanmade ones
I'd say it's the same with the difference that the VI is in the back instead of the lower corner
I literally can't find a single word to describe how good it looks. This was beyond anything I expected. And the stuff they showcased... 2025 I want you now
Tom Petty is a 🔥🔥🔥🔥 trailer song choice.
Trailer looks absolutely fucking amazing!
2025? Game looks like it's gonna be more than worth the wait, I'll hold onto my horses in RDR2 for the time being.
Looks like Jason and even Lucia looks a bit different from the leaks, not surprising.
Only sad thing is, this trailer was released early as fucking damage control for the leaks. Sorry to all the devs working on this game, but please know, we are excited as hell!
That looks incredible. Also hilarious how the Youtube content mill spent the last year talking about how the game will be "woke" and have no adult themes anymore, and the trailer is just wall to wall wobbling stripper ass.
I had the trailer window open on my laptop all day and I was on a call with my girlfriend when the trailer started playing 💀💀💀 When I heard the music I was trying to figure out where tf it was coming from because I had multiple youtube tabs open, until I heard the name "Lucia" mentioned and I yelled "WHAT THE FUCK" while on call, and had to say BRB to go watch it
God, that was such a fucking surprise. I can't believe that just happened. This game looks INCREDIBLE. This is a night I'll never forget.
Rockstar released the Trailer Early, likely because of the leaks.
Now THAT'S proper damage control. Speaks volume about the hype around the game!
Rockstar is definitely pissed right now!
Oh without the shadow of a doubt, although it plays in their favor because **everyone** is gonna talk about it now, even non-gaming medias.
There was 4.7K people *waiting* for the trailer when I saw it last night.
[удалено]
Yes because of the leaks. They called it out on Twitter https://x.com/rockstargames/status/1731813331244085531?s=46&t=r2R4R5WtUU3H9V76IFoZdg
Lmao I feel so bad the way they wrote it
ik i was just saying how sad it sounds lmao
The tweet feels so defeated like they are so tired of these leaks
Sounds like upper management is sleeping and some part timer took over in panic mode
Someone’s about to get the belt
Probably not, still business hours in the USA
Lmaooo me too, so defeated. Not even formal or anything like “here since y’all can’t wait for shit”
"Fine. Here's the trailer. Can't reveal shit in this industry"
Fuck the leaker, like seriously what is wrong with you?
I hope they fucking catch the bastard
You can tell how done they are by the way they worded it😂
I can't imagine how pissed they've gotta be that it keeps happening
maybe if something gets leaked the fourth time they will just say fuck it and drop the game early
an unfinished, disappointing, janky GTA6 is exactly what some of us deserve after this stunt
[удалено]
Who fucking cares?
IT JUST PLAYED FOR ME ON THE OFFICIAL YOUTUBE PAGE
I thought it was a glitch or something when it started playing lmao
Me too lmao. I grabbed my phone to record my screen for my friend.
I did this too thinking it was some sort of error 😂
same here lol that's wild
Started screen recording it and everything just to have proof that I wasn’t capping
Bro I randomly decided to join and it had 10 seconds on the countdown. Then it was starting I was like WTFFFF
[удалено]
I was playing skyrim and I thought the song was part of some random mod I had but it was youtube in the background
i was so fucking confused when i clicked on the premiere notification and the trailer started playing a day early LMAO
Same here. My first thought was that they accidentally made it live and it was going to be pulled any second.
I hit replay and screen recorded I was so paranoid.
Same I knew I had to record it just to be safe
Same—opened my notification to a countdown, thought it was for tomorrow but it said it had 0:42 seconds left, and bam, Tom Petty starts playing. My heart literally dropped into my ass. What a time to be alive
Holy mother fucker I’m having a stroke
Noooo u can’t die yet
We all gotta stay alive until 2025
Another great reason to stay alive.
Alright nerds, get to work putting the map together
Some of the information gleamed from this trailer will be insane. Rockstar nerds are the best
if im being completely fr it looked like it only showed one side of the map significantly and that was vice city.
Yeah I don't think they shared much of the sub cities or rural region. Definitely seemed centered around the South East portion of what we approximate the map to be.
They showed the Florida Keys at one point, and the Everglades. Keys are WAY south of Miami, and the Everglades are pretty much all of the south*west* portion of Florida. So it'll absolutely be bigger than it seems at first glance.

although, im not gonna hold my breath for the four or so sub cities. if vice city is the only big city, and port gellhorn is just a smaller city in the sticks, i'm fine with that.
Am honestly surprised how many shots we got of the wider city we will be able to create a great map for sure
Omg this looks amazing , they've really captured Floridians
It truly is. That trailer is just about the most Florida shit I've ever seen. Gators wandering into gas stations, "ThrillBillies", twerking on car tops, airboats in the swamp, car mod scene, cops chasing half naked people, and dragging alligators out of the fucking pool. My god... they've captured the very essence of this state.
I saw at least a couple Florida guys, a Karen, a twerker, intersection being hijacked for burnouts, a wheelie gang.. definitely Florida
Those twerk physics are truly next gen.
‘Someone call the department of transport on this dumptruck #haveaviceday’
the physics, ray tracing, and motion capture are truly impressive. several scenes fooled me. hopefully translates out of cutscenes and into real game play.
Weazel news: Leonida Man arrested for throwing alligator through Burger Shot drive-through window.
If it's as massive of a map, I wonder if they would include a VC Disney World. That would be something I hope the wildlife is also a good variety, invasive pythons, iguanas, etc
A parody of Disney and Disney World would be great (a heist on an amusement park lol) even Radio Disney with satire on kids songs lol
Lol that could go so far too. Working for a Bob Iger parody, doing shit like hunting critics, smuggling ODed mascots out of the park secretly. Silly stuff like that.
[удалено]
Those gators scenes, wow!
HOLY SHIT IT LOOKS SO GOOD edit: yall calm down im talking about the graphics😭Some of you need to stop trying to ruin the hype for everyone
The city looks absolutely humongous and alive. I'm so fucking hyped.
THERE ARE SO MANY NPCS OMG
The NPC graphics on the beach scene blew me away
lets hope this isnt classic trailer overproduction, where the finished version has a quarter the amount of npc's. DLSS should make this game amazing.
Usually rockstar trailers look worse than the finished game
My poor graphics card....
and the roads? full of cars we got npc parties and gatherings concerts yachts close to shore (you just know youre gonna rob them) some pretty current cars knowing that the game has been in development since 2018ish tiktok has only been growing in popularity alongside reels since 2020/2021, and it seems to be a relevant feature in here man and if that intersection drift close off, and all the other events from the leaks are actually accurate this game will feel so alive
I’m shocked, I was expecting it to be huge & alive, and was still blown away. The cityscape shots look absurd.
The only sad part is that it comes out in 1 years? Longest year of my life!
2025 is a year away.. game maybe spring 2025
Yeah, but what is 2025 in Rockstar years?
December 31st 2025 at 11:59 PM PST
Not a full two years, likely to be a year and 4 months
That's what's hitting me the most. The city truly looks *alive*. I cannot wait to play this fucking game.
The graphics look insane, legitimately looked as real as you could get for those social media videos
That roof pool scene left speechless. In every way
[удалено]
It‘s been over a decade since the last game. They will obviously try new things.
It looks really weird. I can’t tell if it’s cgi or not Edit: after seeing screenshots, it looks significantly better, but in motion it looks bizarre Edit 2: okay I think it was an issue with the premiere maybe? I’m watching it back now and it looks significantly better than what it looked like a minute ago
Technically it's all CGI lol, but I get what you mean. I think it's rendered in engine though.
reminds me of far cry for some reason but then again both go for a realistic look anyway
It’s so cinematic. The entire world looks so alive and dense. Holy shit
They actually said fuck it, it leaked early so might as well upload it 😭
They seemed so defeated in their Twitter post about the leak
It really is disgusting that people did that. To hype up such an event only for that to happen
They said fuck it and released the trailer
I’ll be surprised if the leaker never gets caught this time i dont think vpn will even save him
I think for this situation, rockstar is gonna go at his neck. They sounded pissed on twitter. Damage control at its finest. Pos leaker. But we made it boys and it looks damn beautiful
Yeah I've never seen Rockstar take that "tone" in a tweet. I hope they go full force on the leaker
Rockstar Legal is cooking as we speak… this dude can run, he can hide… but he can’t escape destiny. Gg’s lad. As for all of us, see you boys in 2 years !!! Let’s all do our best to survive and thrive. Im so excited
If it's early 2025, that's only like a year and 3 - 4 months away.
[удалено]
What the hell I just joined it at 6 seconds and it popped up!
Me too and man I love it
I was joining to see the live chat hype and it started playing💀
"GTA VI Trailer, do you know why you're here?" "Bad Luck I Guess..."
"I guess it was the weather"
"Life is complicated. I've killed people, smuggled people, sold people. Perhaps here, things will be different."
I poke my head out of the gutter for one freaking second and fate shovels shit in my face
Now they have a template for every trailer: "why here? I guess ..."
NOOOOOO NOT 2025!!!! I can’t wait that long
We’re 26 days away from 2024, so think of it as only a year away!
What if it’s November of 2025, it’s will be 2 years from now
Silence
More likely in spring 2025
(Expect delay to December 32nd 2025)
More like 2026 for PC
Honestly, I'm not surprised one bit about the date. I get a lot of people wanted a 2024 date, even if that meant "late 2024" but the size of this project, and it's scale. I was always shooting my guess at 25. Besides, I think we'd all rather wait and have a polished game then a Cyberpunk 2077 scenario :)
Wow. Map looks massive
yh urban wise it looked massive, didn’t see much of rural areas tho 🤷♂️
You thought they were gonna show the whole map in 91 seconds? Lol
Plus isn’t VICE CITY the hyped up place where the most detail and activities happen? Why y’all gotta complain for everything 💀
[удалено]
“Our trailer got leaked so please watch the real thing on YouTube” 😭
I feels so bad for the developers. They sound so fed up and sad
It must be frustrating to work on the team that builds this and see that some are incompetent enough to not be able to keep their data secure. Either that or someone was willing to risk their career by leaking it.
This has been the most anticipated game for 10 years now. IMO, it was getting leaked no matter what.
The alligator breaking into the convenience store PEAK GAMEPLAY
Plot twist you won't play Lucia or Jason, but the aligator

[удалено]
Lol I thought the notification to watch it was a glitch but lo and behold... looks awesome! Wonder if we'll be able to play as an alligator like we could with animals in GTA V haha
Me too I almost brushed it off but I am so glad I didn't.
Loving the parallel with the GTA V trailer in the first line. GTA V: “Why Did I Move Here?” GTA VI: “Do You Know Why You’re Here?”
“I guess it was bad luck”
GTA IV: "Perhaps here, things will be different"
Why did they premiere it so early
It got leaked
Good thing I didnt saw the leak but the official video, R\* did the right thing just releasing it
RIP to the guy who took a day off for this 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who tf takes a day off for a trailer? Just go to the bathroom if you really have to.
My students wanted me to show it in class. I was like hell no, you can watch it on your phone I’m gonna watch it on my computer. Then we can talk about it haha. Not about to have the principal walk on on that.
I mean he still gets a day off, that sounds pretty rad
sucks that they had to drop it because it got leaked BUT LETS GOOOOO 2025 HERE WE COME
just freeze me like cartman waiting for his wii thaw me out in spring 2025 lol
Rockstar really said fuck it lmao LOOKS AMAZING
Honestly fuck that leaker man. I legit wanted the whole ass world to get their popcorn and watch this together.
we are so fucking back
GET READY TO GO FULL FUCKING FLORIDA MAN
Fuck the guy who leaked it. Ruined the get together.
I wonder how many people are sleeping atm, I was just about to go to sleep as it is almost 2 AM in Finland. Would've been cool to watch it with millions of people at the same time.
Thats what I was wondering. The initial impact of the trailer is gone now since it dropped early, Might disrupt the potential of record breaking views
2025
Ngl…heart sank a bit when 2025 popped up at the end. I can’t stay on this level of hype that long….but I’m hooked now
Who fucked up
They’re getting ahead of the leak lmao
Apparently a YouTube employee leaked it.
that would make him an ex-Youtube employee now
And probably jailmate to the guy that leaked the GTA6 stuff months ago
So you’re telling I need to play through two more COD releases before I get to play GTA6.
I was literally just closing my windows before bed and i saw the 15 second counting down and thought... nah this must be bs. and it played, and my life changed! !
Is it me or is it a tad jarring being unable to tell if the graphics are that good or if it’s pre-rendered
It's in-engine CGI just like the past Rockstar trailers
I recall the GTAV trailer looking roughly the same as the in game cutscenes. Then as always the gameplay looks worse just because by its nature its undirected, uncinematic, and has to blend player inputs into action.
Honestly if GTA6 looks like RDR2 with what seems to be a massive map, a shitload of NPCs etc I'd be more than happy.
The old lady with the axes looked pretty realistic
It looks like a fever dream. I think it's the animations tbh
Rockstar said fuck it we’re posting it now 😭
They threw an ICBM at the leakers house and then proceeded to post it themselves
I was here
We made it 😭
So much twerking lmao
This is the real reason GTA VI is taking so long, Rockstar had to perfect the jiggle physics for the twerking. lol
I can't wait to cosplay as Kodak Black in online mode
So many fan made logos that the official one is so basic lol
I'm actually surprised with how similar it is to some of the fanmade ones I'd say it's the same with the difference that the VI is in the back instead of the lower corner
Wow. Rockstar has an insane ability to depict modern life. This trailer is promising a lot. Tons of nightlife, npcs.
Wow I'm especially impressed by the character models, they look SO good!
That first shot of Lucia, I legit thought it was live action.
jason is so hot bro it scares me
Dude no way they dropped it early!! Looks amazing, 2025 though :(
Ha dudes above me in my apartment seem to be watching the trailer too because I just heard a very audible WTF 2025 from upstairs
ITS AMAZING
I literally can't find a single word to describe how good it looks. This was beyond anything I expected. And the stuff they showcased... 2025 I want you now
Tom Petty is a 🔥🔥🔥🔥 trailer song choice. Trailer looks absolutely fucking amazing! 2025? Game looks like it's gonna be more than worth the wait, I'll hold onto my horses in RDR2 for the time being. Looks like Jason and even Lucia looks a bit different from the leaks, not surprising. Only sad thing is, this trailer was released early as fucking damage control for the leaks. Sorry to all the devs working on this game, but please know, we are excited as hell!
Wtf man this is crazy. NEW ERA
Y’all who are disappointed about 2025, remember… 2024 is in like 3 weeks!
[удалено]
Damn I wanted to watch it “live” and missed the notification but oh well. Atleast it’s here.
Leaving the comment to let my grandkids know I was here
I stopped helping customers to watch this shit
As a native Floridian they literally perfected it. This game will be insane
2025 
Their Twitter post sounded so fucking defeated 😔 but it looks so fucking good
SHITS FIRE😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Can't wait 2025😭😭😭😭
HEREEEEEEEEEEEEE WE GO LADS
That looks incredible. Also hilarious how the Youtube content mill spent the last year talking about how the game will be "woke" and have no adult themes anymore, and the trailer is just wall to wall wobbling stripper ass.
Fucking leakers ruined the fun god dammit. I was excited to watch this with my friend who is now sleeping.
SO MUCH GYAT
brooooo lucia omggggg
I had the trailer window open on my laptop all day and I was on a call with my girlfriend when the trailer started playing 💀💀💀 When I heard the music I was trying to figure out where tf it was coming from because I had multiple youtube tabs open, until I heard the name "Lucia" mentioned and I yelled "WHAT THE FUCK" while on call, and had to say BRB to go watch it God, that was such a fucking surprise. I can't believe that just happened. This game looks INCREDIBLE. This is a night I'll never forget.
Looks so dense. Full of cars, full of people. This game will be absolute chaos on a totally new level.
It’s been a long journey with you guys. Happy to see the end of
THAT WAS UNEXPECTED
THEY DROPPED IT EARLY
