I assumed there must be a new trailer or something from this post so went and watched it... and it just feels like, sorta nothing. Ambitious crime power fantasy - check. Sizzle reel of action moments - check. But nothing else.
I went back and looked at the second trailers (traditionally the more story focused trailers) for the other 3D GTA games and all of them have more plot hook, more characterisation, more vibes. This one doesn't feel like it has any humour or satire (despite GTA's usually being pretty ropey). I have no idea who the protagonists are as people, in terms of personalities or conflicts or whatever. Hell, the one sentence video description has more plot detail than the trailer.
I'd go and eat food and do shots with the Matty Matherson character, but I don't think anything else caught my attention at all.
yeah gta v character has interesting hook (like Trevor being pretty much the stereotype of how GTA players actually the game) meanwhile gta 6 protagonist so far feels like blank slates based on the trailers.
