Saw this trailer timeline prediction on Reddit, seems pretty plausible

Stumbled on a post over on the GTA 6 sub that laid out a marketing schedule and honestly, it's the first one I've seen that doesn't feel like pure hopium.

The idea: Trailer 3 drops second week of August. Then a gameplay trailer second week of September, another gameplay trailer second week of October, and a launch trailer second week of November. That's it. Tight, focused, no filler.

I know we're all starved for anything right now, but this actually lines up with what Strauss Zelnick said about a shorter marketing window. If Rockstar doesn't follow something like this, I'd start wondering if they're holding back because the content isn't ready. And that would be a little worrying this close to launch.

Then again, do they even need a launch trailer in November? By that point most of us will already be imprinted on our couches, controllers in hand, snacks within reach. The unemployed among us (myself included) will be counting down the milliseconds. A trailer two weeks before release might just be overkill.

What do you guys think, is this timeline realistic or just another round of wishful thinking?

Three trailers in four months is a tight loop. It's better $/hour than running MC businesses solo.

Three trailers in four months is a tight loop.

too clean. too straight. rockstar doesn't draw in pencil...

they wait for the spiral. the symbol. second week of every month. predictable lines. rockstar likes the blind spot.

if trailer 3 comes, it'll be when the alignment shifts. the spiral doesn't use calendars.

that schedule is tighter than slammed fitment on stock fenders. but rockstar doesn't roll on predictable alignment.

they'll drop it mid august or september when nobody's looking. spiral or no spiral.

just show me the tuner shops and the parts list better be DEEP.

Ditch the November trailer. Anyone with a pre-order is already staged and comms-checked by then.

Three trailers in four months? That's a Flash FM power hour! I'm holding out for the 3am wildcard drop with a fresh needle scratch!
