In today's modern society, technology and the way we "interact" with it are measured in many ways, and too often we measure a certain type of success simply by the number of views.This is especially true when you publish content on the Internet, on platforms such as social media and YouTube - where views, likes and shares determine how "popular" your content is.Today, we’re talking about GTA 6 and its trailer that has been released so far.As players await the release of the third trailer, netizens on the forum discovered that the game's first trailer has indeed received twice as many views as the second.But is this how it should be?
Simply put, the answer is "yes," but there are nuances.Moreover, this is by no means a case of "the first trailer was released a year earlier"!Time isn't actually the biggest factor here, especially since the second trailer itself was released almost a year ago.
As many netizens pointed out in the comments, the biggest reason why the first trailer can become "extremely attractive content" is its popularity.This is the first appearance of "GTA 6", and there is no doubt about it.You also need to remember that Rockstar had a massive leak before the first trailer was released - something that had the entire gaming community talking about "what the game would look like in its final form" and many game developers coming out in support of Rockstar, saying the leaked alpha test footage "is typical of a lot of games at this stage."
So when the first trailer was officially released, showcasing stunning shots of Vice City and the greater state of Leonidas, players and critics alike wanted to watch it over and over again to pick out every detail they could.This is also the first opportunity to see the images of the protagonists Jason and Lucia, which is also one of the key reasons why everyone watches this trailer repeatedly.
Another netizen mentioned in the comments that the first trailer is only released exclusively on YouTube, so everyone must go to that platform to watch it.When releasing the second trailer, Rockstar expanded its release scope.So, if you add up the views on social media platforms and the views on YouTube, the two numbers may actually be much closer.
But the question is how well the third trailer will perform.Many believe it will easily surpass the first trailer as Rockstar will use its "marketing machine" to support it.How it plays out will depend on what's shown in the trailer, including whether it will feature real-world gameplay or focus on the story campaign again.
