Fan-made docu-series on Rockstar's road to GTA 6 just dropped its final trailer
Stumbled on this one and figured it belonged here. There's a fan docu-series called The Long Road, three episodes, and it's all about the history of Rockstar and the long wait we've all been sitting through to get to GTA 6. The final trailer just went up on YouTube. It's made by fans, for fans, which is the kind of thing that either turns out great or turns out like a two hour slideshow. Worth a look either way.
who's in it
The lineup is stacked with names a lot of you will recognise from the community side of things. 12th Hour, Any Austin, Badger Goodger, Clicked Tazer, Dr Mod, GTA Men, Mutahar, nkjellman, Saukko505, Sav, Swegta, TGG, The Professional, Xin and ZacCox TV are all listed.
Obbe Vermeij is in there too, which is the bit that got my attention. Hearing from someone who actually worked at Rockstar back in the day is a different thing entirely from another creator doing a retrospective off Wikipedia. He's been popping up a fair bit lately talking about the studio and the industry, so it tracks.
why it's interesting now
We're nine days out. Nine. After all the years of waiting, the delays, the endless speculation threads, someone went and put together a proper look at how we got here. The history of the studio, the buildup, the whole circus around the most anticipated release in the medium. That's a decent way to kill an evening before the thing actually lands.
I haven't watched the episodes yet so I can't vouch for the quality, but the trailer alone has me curious. Fan projects like this live and die on how much actual research goes in versus how much is just vibes and recycled talking points. With that guest list I'd lean towards it being the former.
Anyone here planning to watch it before launch, or are you all going dark to avoid spoilers and hype overload until the 19th?
