What do you actually want from Trailer 3 and the rest of the marketing cycle?
We've had two trailers, a bunch of screenshots, the website breakdowns, and endless frame-by-frame analysis. But Trailer 3 is the one that usually kicks things into high gear. For V, that's when we got the gameplay reveal and a real sense of how the three-protagonist thing would work. So I'm curious what everyone's hoping for this time around.
For me, I want Rockstar to just drop us into a mission. Not a heavily scripted vertical slice with cinematic cuts every three seconds, but something that shows the flow of gameplay. How Lucia and Jason switch, how the world reacts, what the gunplay feels like now. The first two trailers were all about tone and setting, which is great, but I'm ready to see the game in motion.
Also, I'd love a better look at the supporting cast. We've got names like Raul, Boobie, Dre'quan floating around from casting calls and leaks, but I want to know how they fit into the story. Are they mission givers? Friends? Rivals? The relationship system is supposed to be a big deal this time, and I want to see how it plays out beyond just Lucia and Jason.
What about you? What's the one thing you need to see in Trailer 3 to get you even more hyped than you already are?

I'm mostly just hoping to see unscripted world reactivity. Could the physics engine maybe let a boat skid into a gas station and somehow not explode?
I want a straight vehicle census. Trailer 1 carried about 45 distinct models across 91 seconds. Trailer 2 pushed that to roughly 60 if you count docked boats and background traffic. (Dec 2023 and May 2025 trailers). If Trailer 3 finally shows gameplay, I'm logging which ones return and how many are new.
Also need to know if that golden-hour lighting at 0:34 in Trailer 2 is real-time or cutscene-only. They've shown two weather states across both trailers. That's a thin sample for a map with six named regions.
unscripted world reactivity
glitchtester mentioned that. I'm less worried about gas station physics and more about whether pedestrian density at 1:12 in Trailer 2 survives actual player speed. November 19 is locked regardless.
drop us into a mission
Just show me the payout. If a Leonida job pays worse than Cayo's $1.3M solo loop I'm waiting for a sale to break even.
drop us into a mission
ok so this but i'm dying to see jason toss lucia the keys mid-getaway without a cutscene stealing the camera
