This summer, the “Grand Theft Auto VI: Extended Showcase” presentation took place. Rockstar Games showed a lot of gameplay footage: it was possible to see mission walkthroughs, as well as various activities.
However, some players expected a traditional trailer: a short video with a compilation of gameplay moments and narrator's comments.
Ben (@videotech), a well-known blogger in the GTA and Red Dead Redemption communities, drew players' attention to a retelling of Rob Nelson's statement.
The head of Rockstar North studio previously spoke with Andy Cortez from the Kinda Funny Games podcast and explained why they didn't make such a gameplay trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, and instead held an extended showcase.
According to Cortez, Nelson explained that Rockstar Games didn't want to make a video with a narrator because they had done similar things before, and GTA VI is very difficult to showcase — it has so much in it.
Cortez retold Rob Nelson's statement during the podcast:
We didn't want to do something with a voiceover. That's been done before, and this game [GTA VI] is generally very difficult to showcase because there's so much cool stuff in it.
Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for release on November 19 this year on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles. Rockstar Games and Take-Two have not officially announced anything about the PC version's release window.
