Looks fun but I'm going to wait until I see some in game footage.

The level of people in the comments section who seem to think they'll be getting all of what they're seeing in the trailer is alarming.
- I imagine everything you see in the trailer is in-engine footage, even if it's not being controlled by the player. This has always been the case with GTA trailers since GTA3.
  
  I don't mind the way the actual trailer was done, but I'd definitely have preferred to see actual gameplay given they gave a release window. It telegraphs a rushed release, because if it was feature-complete they'd show gameplay
- Is it? Doesn't seem unrealistic to me at all.
- Rockstar have a better track record for giving us what they show us in their initial trailer. We're not talking about Ubisoft or CDPR here.
- What's the in trailer that you couldn't expect? I didn't really see anything GTA V didn't already have.
Leak is more shock factor than a real release nowadays so they just say that 😂😂
- It was officially scheduled for tomorrow at 9am.
  
  Pretty sure Rockstar didn't intentionally jump the gun screwing up their media partners on announcing a $1-2 billion media product in order to release it initially in potato quality on Twitter with "Buy BTC" superimposed on it.
  
  Gross, someone seriously leaked it with a trashy watermark?
  
  Or this is exactly how you would fake a leak? (Minus screwing the media partners who are already in on it.)
Do I still have to tap X to run?
- You'll have to lick the touchpad
  
  The hot coffee mod overheats the cpu so you burn your tongue.
I'll watch the trailer 2 years from now, when the game is nearing completion. Until then this means almost nothing.
As someone who grew up with block graphic games and sprites on a 320x240 pixel screen in 16 colors, this looks impressive. Not my kind of game or genre, but still well done.
Vice City was my favourite, the soundtrack alone was amazing. I have literally skipped V after IV was too big, and never finished rdr2, depsite rdr being one of my favourite ever games. Hoping for a tighter, tastier VI, not just "more"
- We seem to have similar tastes. I beg you to finish rdr2. OMG, best game of my life.
  
  Does it improve towards the end? I was playing it and got about half way but stopped. The world is beautiful but the quests are boring af. It’s a movie with repetitive actions from time to time.
  
  Nobody who wants a “tighter, tastier” experience is going to like RDR2
  
  What was your favorite part?
- same here, it already looks full of crowded places and tons of cool stuff jammed into this huge city, but most of them were animated cinematic Instagram looking stuff so I guess we have to wait 4 years to see.
Vice city was never even close to my favorite, and I was really hoping for something else for gta6. That said- I was completely wrong and this looks amazing and I am fuckin excited for it
Man, hearing the first second of that Tom Petty song had me super excited for a game set in the 80s or 90s...
- Looking at all the instagram/tik tok like sections in the trailer, and the twerking, our hopes are probably futile.
- If GTA 6 is set as far in the past as GTA: Vice City was, it would be set in 2009.
