gamesradar says the extended look was worth the 13 year wait, their 76 year old mom is texting about it
Saw GamesRadar's piece this morning and it's basically how I feel after finally watching the Extended Look. The 26 minute video is beautiful, enormous, deeply impressive, according to them, and I'm not arguing.
The weird part is they're saying the Netflix arrival feels bigger than GTA alone. Like, a Rockstar deep dive premiering on Netflix before YouTube is a whole moment for gaming and streaming. I didn't think about it that way until I read it, but yeah, my non-gamer friends were asking me about it because they saw it on Netflix. That never happens with a Rockstar trailer.
The author's 76 year old mother texted them about it. That's wild. My mom still calls my PS5 a Nintendo, so I can't relate, but it shows how far this thing has reached. 13 years of waiting and now even people who don't play games are paying attention.
I'm still not sure if Netflix getting the first window is a good thing or just a weird flex. It definitely got more eyes on it, but I had to wait until 9pm to watch it on YouTube because I don't have Netflix. Worth it though.
Do you think Netflix premiering the Extended Look is a one-off stunt or a sign Rockstar is going to do more streaming partnerships before launch?
