Grand Theft Auto V’s first trailer
Released: November 2011
“Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather.”
It’s odd how ingrained this trailer is in my brain, to the point where I remembered that opening line before I even watched it ahead of writing this list. But GTA V’s first trailer (which mixed gorgeous shots of Los Santos and vignettes of its citizens with GTA-like chaos happening between) was a huge step up from Rockstar’s past GTA teasers. I remember being so excited to play this game and the year of speculation that followed as people dug through every little frame, trying to piece together the game’s map, story, and more.
