French journalist wants to talk to the frame-by-frame trailer obsessives among us

Stumbled on this over on the GTA 6 subreddit. A journalist named Simon from Le Parisien is putting together a big video about the wait for GTA 6 and how the community has kept itself going all these years. He's especially interested in the hardcore detail hunters, the ones who freeze every frame of the trailers and spin up wild theories from a blurry reflection in a car window.

He wants to do quick video chats with fans who've gone deep on analyzing the trailers, mapping out the city from a two-second aerial shot, or just obsessing over stuff Rockstar probably never intended anyone to notice. The angle seems to be explaining to outsiders why some of us pour so much energy into this, why we're so hungry to know things before we're supposed to.

I figure a few people here might fit that description. The extended look is right around the corner, so the timing makes sense, he's probably trying to capture the final stretch of the hype. If you've got a folder full of trailer screenshots and a notes app full of half-baked theories, this might be your moment.

What's the most unhinged detail you've spotted in a trailer that you'd want to tell a journalist about?

I'm mostly stuck on whether background NPCs are running full physics or just canned cycles. There might be a pedestrian clipping through a bench in the May trailer for a split second. It's probably just compression artifacts. Has anyone else tried mapping hitboxes from the trailer geometry?

I replayed that part ten times. Still not sure if is artifact or real.

I’m over here ripping trailer audio to catch what’s bleeding out of passing car windows! While you lot stare at benches, I’m trying to ID whether that two-second rumble in the May trailer is a licensed needle drop or a brand new track for Leonida. Tell Simon I’ve got a whole playlist theory ready. Way more fun than hitboxes.
