Rockstar made the gta community turn into LA noir detectives with each post they make😂
@@FatalDyZr yes and I love it hahaha
That's why i love this community, Every day without new information, more and more bizarre theories emerge, They are all fun and keep the hype going
@@FrancyStyles yes!! Totally
I can't wait to see trailer 2
@@THEOFFICIAL1520 if you look closely and count all the bricks in the building and divide that by how many days have past since the last trailer was released it reveals the next release date for trailer 2.
Haha you say that as a joke but what if its true🤯 what do you know? Tell us🤣
@@YorkReacts Do you perhaps know inside info?
I have been chasing these conspiracy thoughts ever since GTA 3. The secret hints of the next game hidden within the game.
For example the large billboard saying “see you soon” flight to Miami, and a pager message on one of the missions from ray saying “see you in Miami”
I loved that stuff and still hunting these 20+ years later.
january 2025 release day for trailer 2
I don't like the people who try to tell everybody to stop speculating and stop with the crazy theories. But honestly the speculations and the crazy theories are the best part of it I love reading them
Those people are foolish. People only speculate because we get fed scraps of information and have to wait an entire year without any other info or updates.
And that’s what Mr boss has been doing and people hate him for speculating
But you already know it’s bs
@@Rude_Boi “foolish” lmao, it’s fans speculating about a game. Not a big deal but of course you don’t seem to be a fun person 🙃
It builds up the most fun type of hype that’s engaging imo, I really like it although kinda disappointing when they are way off
The wait for GTA 6 is unexplainable, I got GTA 5 when I was 13 years old in 2013 so lucky for me I have been here the entire ride and I can say , at least from my perspective, it’s the most anticipated game of all time
Biggest game on the planet,Nothing and no one can derail it
@@jbbeats2042 imagine all of us old ass gamers. I’m still hyped even though I keep it low-key nowadays haha
Turning bullet holes into braille is insane, the community is too far gone 😂
@@blacknight0003 hahah yeah this one is the best lol 😂 and if you look closely each one is a far stretch to actually match the brail lol
"Bullet holes to braille" sounds like a game title 😂🤣😂🤨🇬🇧
Only thing to mention about the bullet holes is that there are exactly 6, obviously because it's GTA 6 😅
This has gotta be one of the biggest joys you guys had as a creator. Your joy is contagious, I love thinking about the joy all of these creators are getting to fans having fun and speculating (especially when they go ALL-IN like some of these). Thank you so much for sharing this insight, i’m genuinely never going to not think of this with these kinds of discussions now
If R⭐ delays the GTA 6 trailer 2 any longer, people are gonna start looking for it like it's a hidden collectible in GTA V. Next clue: Mount Chiliad mural confirmed! 😂😆
I haven't seen a game community as hyped and demanding for an entire game as I see the gta community for just a trailer :))))
4:39 That's EXACTLY true about the "Mount Chilliad Conspiracy". A developer has come out and said it was place in game as an easter egg to be fun, humorous, and mainly, as a troll. There is no explanation or "hidden message" to decode. It was all for fun and confusion I guess, lol.
@@BrandonThe1nr do you know of the article or video where that is in?… that’s what I was referring to sorta and heard a while back
@@BrandonThe1nr I found the article yeah I knew this came out a while ago I’m shocked everyone is taking n what I’m saying as news and something never been said before lol another dev came out and said this already and this is what I was referring to in my video hah
@@YorkReacts "GTA VI O'clock - Episode 47"' here on YT around the 20 minute mark! He interviewed Ben Hinchliffe who also worked at R*.
We are a true cult to the franchise. What makes this franchise arguably one of the greatest video games EVER created is that they have tremendous replay value! You can go back to GTA 3, Vice City or San Andreas and STILL find little easter eggs you never came across. Rockstar is definitely their own entity at this point man it's such a beautiful thing and i'm so proud to say i grew up on Rockstar's masterpieces. They also were responsible for other legendary video games as well not just GTA which is incredible. The dedication they have had over the years needs to be studied. They sure know how to please their fans and i love to see it. RDR 2 is almost an 8 year old game and the amount of exploration you can do in RDR2 is astronomical. The immersion and the way they make you feel like you can live in the worlds they create is so impressive. Nobody can do it like them! Here's a wonderful idea by the way, i'd love to see REMEDY, ROCKSTAR, AND NAUGHTY DOG collab on a few projects! These 3 companies will absolutely demolish the gaming industry if they collabed together! Because Remedy is so so fantastic as well and naughty dog is legendary as well. They just all know how to create phenomenal games and stories that really captivate their fans! With that being said GTA 6 will be a generational game changer once again! That is no surprise and im so happy to be alive for it. We are at the verge of finally playing GTA 6 and im so excited! Ive been playing GTA since GTA 2 all the way up to GTA 5, even the spin off titles i played! Every single one. I played GTA 3 at about 8 years old lmao and i am now 29 waiting for GTA 6 🔥🙏🏻🐐
I’m in tears with some of these theories 😂 the guy who counted all the holes in the prison window is a legend
Interesing to hear this from Yorks pov

this game is giving people mental problems
@@RODNOOGLIZZY facts

I got pulled over with a gun doing 130 in miami. They asked why I said gta6 lol.
Derek let me tell you something I've never had metal problems in my life ok I'm a good builder
conspiracy: world building in GTA revolves around raising and encouraging a dystopian hellscape - having a direct correlation to the reality we are continuing to perpetuate. the games/stories/music/media/art we *collectively* consume have so much influence on the paradigm we want to be in - except nobody knows they are contributing to the problem hence the genius name 'Grand Theft' Auto. I interpret the 'Auto' part as our minds, like our minds are literally being hijacked...just a conspiracy tho ;)
random fact: san andreas 'zero RC' mission with the bombs attached to drones was actually brought to life in the war in ukraine by the help of the ex google ceo whose name I forgot
Video length is 10:41? One of the best subtle hints there's been!
You seem like a very nice person, i wish the best for you.
Love this guy , so down to earth and chill guy , with amazing perspective on R* Games

I remember people was speaking about Doomsday 3 heist with MK3 flying chairs. Thats why rockstar gave us Bunker, so we will hide underground :D
GTA VI -> Grand Theories About Videogames on Internet
The trailer gained a lot of views just from being 1 year anniversary people are starving 😂
Only thing i hope, Is that man who made RC mission in gta vc , train mission in gta sa, bunker shot range in gta 5 Online, didnt make any missions for gta 6...
2:15 i think another word is tantalizing allure because Gta 6 in general is a colossal tease for our minds.

@kaleb7636 I believe you
I said this in a livestream: The designers over at Rockstar must be having a field day with all of these theories linked to their marketing.
Watching Mike getting tickled pink as he relays some of these theories is absolutely hilarious!
Greetings from London, England 🤓🇬🇧
I would search gta5 map speculation videos after the game got released. You would be so surprised how much they got correct.
Trailer 2 tomorrow , one year of radio silence from rockstar that’s nuts but I agree with you that this type of selfmarketing makes people even more hyped for the game but it’s been so long
it leaked early remember it was actually 12/4 according to YT
Your gay and kid , nope
No tomorrow
@@KingRoyale_ Why don't you present your arguments instead of just cursing and neglecting?
@@ruimesquita6743 wouldnt they at least announce it? And last time even die announcement got leaked beforehand?
@@LchtSomeonethere will be no trailer or any information tomorrow. Rockstar is butt hurt that they got hacked and all the “wheres gta6” comments they get on their socials. They are withholding information from us out of spite, its not because they are “working hard” or “cooking” or “dont have time to give info or trailers”. They are hurt and embarrassed about being hacked and have decided to punish the gamer because there are now a bunch of sensitive women and dei freaks working over there and you cant convince me otherwise. Give me a reason we have no info and I will open your mind of why what you think makes no sense.
This might be the first time I've seen an ex rockstar games. Cheers
*It's really kinda interesting, for a lacka better word , that the announcement for Trailer 1 took place on December 1 , 2023 / 2x3/ at 6:00 am , Trailer 1 and it 'posed to drop on December 5 /1+5/ at 9:00 am /'nother "6"/ , so there clearly was a pattern, December is also the 12 month/2x6/ , or I'm reaching.*
*Grand Theft Auto VI*
Thank you my friend for giving us a fun game. Respect.
Without you guys we don't have games. 👍
Wouldn't it be cool if Rockstar added Trailer 2 to GTA Online theaters or a countdown leading to its premiere? Something like in-game event 😁
This is a great idea 💡
Have you ever talked or met the houser brothers or Lazlow back when you worked at rockstar?
These are some "rapture is coming on this day" level theories lmao
Its hilarious and i am here for it
I appreciate rockstar so much for doing what they do. Cause even tho it’s insane and ridiculous that someone counted squares in a window. All the breakdowns and trying to find out what rockstar is up to is very entertaining. I just can’t wait for the next trailer
The second GTA 6 trailer will release the day before the day after the trailer is launched after the night before too between those two midnights.
Love your vids but I find it hard to believe Rockstar’s silence is part of a deliberate marketing strategy. Only the most hyper invested, terminally online fans follow these theories, as fun as they are. They don’t compete with the hype generated from an actual trailer (just look at how T1 broke the internet last year). The reason Rockstar hasn’t released the next one is because they aren’t ready.
Not saying it is for certain just that it might be and if it is it clever
Also because they aren’t ready for sure
2:35 The more silent [Rockstar is], the better it is"
It definitely creates intrigue!! But also look at TES VI: years of silence, and now people just stopped caring.
Spent years hunting for this Chiliad mystery mostly through the reddit group made for it. My theory was about the "meta" aspects of the hunt itself. As I was getting more and more IRL references, reading books, watching films or learning stories about ancient tribes of America/California etc, I ended up saying "Wow that's my jetpack its metaphorical". Like I'm dropped into this fake world, from above like players come from the Gods skies or world, then explore and go up again, coming back to reddit with a new "story" to "complete" what's unsolved lol. Some people didnt like it in the community lol, but that's still how I defend this mystery, just a pretext, to search and learn, think about also the evolution of religions, cults, beliefs through History, the game (V) gives something special from the world design, from North to South etc. Anyway, I loved exploring this game so much because it gave so much "from outside" the game, by using tons of cool and rich IRL references. And a mystery wouldnt be a pleasure if it was solved, as simple as that, I love reading people and their theories. Same thing with IKZ in RDR2. Even If I'm sad I know we (I) will never find "a special trigger" and "be the one", such a smart motivation to add in every gamer's mind, through these unsolved/unfinished content.
The ultimate conspiracy was the ufo. Chilliad we spent hours trying to solve that bs
Great channel! We need more devs like you and Tim Cain doing RUclips
Funnily enough a ton of people thought in rdr2 there was a secret ending where arthur lived and went to new austin
Rockstar: Hey York, here’s a hundred dollars get on there and DEFLECT DEFLECT DEFLECT, THEY CANT KEEP LOOKING AT THE MOON
Im still waiting for LA Noire 2
Same here !!
Thanks, I really have the same thoughts about it.
I’m gonna guess than Rockstar don’t tell all the employees the hints and stuff, but if you knew something no one knew, do you remember anyone having conspiracies that was 100% correct?
funniest part about the Lucia’s door thing is that the 864 was just a troll guess - someone THEN really calculated how many holes were there with precise math it’s amazing 🤣
Gta fans aren't gonna have any braincells left when gta 6 release 😂😅
No, we will have one brain cell left, and purely for the jiggle physics lol
@@akathenugget oh yeahhhhhhh let's goooooo
I feel like someone saw that video and was like " oh sure, hey guys push the date back to December 1st. No it'll be fine, take an extra couple months"
Im gonna lose it if nothing will happen until january. I will need to rent hospital room.😂
Did you look in the comments of the Instagram posts? Everyone is posting that fridge gif. 😂
I had a GTA Online ad before this video 😂
My story theory: “Gone in 60 Seconds” meets “Infamous”
Mid-game “rug pull” event: hurricane decimating area in which we rebuild.
I really hope to see flamingo-napping, more in-depth weapon, vehicle & homestead customization & unlikely-but I’d really love to see a character progression/skill tree mechanic.
Love your videos & attitude! So wholesome & enthusiastic 🙏🏼🔥
Id love to see a play through from you when this game finally releases yo
Ohh for sure it’s going down live on stream
The moon theory turned out to be true last year. Probably will happen again. December 17-22 is the next waning gibbous phase.
Just found this channel. Interesting indeed! I loved hearing about the comment, "I'm throwing money at the screen but nothing's happening." I've always wondered who came up with the Dump Truck sim? Who pitched this at the idea table and how would that go? Who was stuck designing it into game play? Who gets to claim, I made a dump truck simulator. 😆I've also often wondered if they have a master map that shows player traffic across the map. Is there a square foot of space anywhere on the map no one has stepped? We are all such creatures of habits and routines. How many players have no idea Lamar's often in the Agencies breakroom with Chop? Never even look over there. Snacks, ammo and go!
People after each Rockstar Games post on X: "I had a heart attack! Thought it was GTA 6 news!"
Rockstar at the same time: 8:14 "Keep doing it, cause it's really fun =)))"!
Silently watching from far makes sense because they can pick and implement which theories they believe will be successful (if they haven't of course/implement in a future update). I just hope they bring bsck story mode dlc's.
Heck yes! #ChikisGang checkin in! Hyped for GTA 6! btw Im the chihuahua in trailer 1..🐾🐕
Whenever someone uses the term “conspiracy theories” now days, it’s hard to take anything that they say seriously after that. It has become a tactic for the most part.
IV is still the best entertainment product of all time
Could you please give some hint as to why they are being silent for straight one year with no mention of VI? Does that mean its delayed?
This whole video is about that
Watch the video🙂. But basically it's marketing. If they give information every three or four months it wouldn't be hyped as much in the end
Silence is because the game sucks, Rockstar are panicking and trying to course-correct. See Take-Two's E3 live stream in 2021, nothing but activist DEI.
@@iambored9872 cringe af its just marketing stop with ur dei woke crap u cringe me out
@@aiIeri Don't stop defending the company that destroyed their own games' modding community because they made better mods than the original company.
at this point im more hyped for trailer 2 than the game itself
One day it’ll be day 1 and we will be playing GTA 6. For now let’s enjoy the ride and excitement till that day comes 😇
Hi York, do you think GTA VI / Rockstar is doomed by wokeness and DEI hires?
this a dumbass comment
you can just tell R* are having the biggest laughs at work when they see these things like you said it’s gotta be comforting knowing the fanbase (no matter how long between trailers, etc) will always be there. Rockstar can essentially do nothing to promote the game and the fanbase will still find ways to do it themselves. It’s a great community regardless of how silly it gets lol thanks for your contributions on two legendary games bro!
I just don't understand how not a single dev leaks any info. Surely they could use an alt account on a VPN and give out details. Crazy there hasn't been a single case of that over the years.
becaue of nda
I think it's cool for a little while, but when I'm now on my 2nd marriage and have a grown baby in the house, I have aged 12 years, and still no new GTA... it feels a bit silly...
Given the fact that rockstar games wants to release the game next year they’re massively behind with the marketing … they would need to upload all the other trailers within 9 to 10 months
Hey man, I hope you do a full playthrough once the game releases. I'll def watch
So what was the drawing on the side of the wall on top of Mount Chiliad showing the guy with the jet pack all about? Was it just a “mystery to nowhere” as you said? My friend and I spent way too much time scouring that damn mountain for a cave entrance.
That’s one I don’t much about but I heard people been chasing it for years. Let me know if you figure it out
@ Now you can just buy the jet pack 😂 But it would have been fun to find one “in the wild.” These little mysteries, like the ghosts and UFOs, are some of my favorite things about the games.
Im ready to see these new radio stations and songs that’s going to be in the game.
Dude yes one of my favorite things in the game hands down
And all the talk shows ect
@@YorkReacts yessir the commercials in between too.
That's why I will only wait until I hear something from Rock Star or Take 2 Interactive.
These theories could be giving rockstar more ideas for the game, allowing them to make it better
Good vid bro! Conspiracies are an iconic part of the GTA community haha. Goes as far back as San Andreas (Bigfoot/Aliens). Honestly, that game is probably the reason I’m into conspiracies 😳
gta4 was so good but gta5 absolutely blew expectations away for the time
Yeah same here can’t wait for 6 we are in for a treat
Rockstar is like the hot chick that never texts you back and then a month later responds with literally anything, you freak the fuck out and respond back right away.
Lmao
Rockstar can spend 0$ on GTA6 marketing and would still get a world-record number of preorders just because of the community
Yeah isn’t that wild. Lots of companies spend millions on marketing and they don’t have to spend a penny lol just make a tweet hahah
Main topic aside,hi i have subscribed you for a while,and the way you describe rockstar and react things impressed me a lot,i love your channel,recently i am preparing the Master degree exam for software engineering,this stresses me a lot,been prepared for whole year,everytime i gloom i remember you,remembered how i should behave to try catch rockstar.17days left,let's get the master done!
I think this game is going to be the end of Rockstar games until RDR 3 saves the franchise
Hahaha this comment should age well
I am literally aching to finally see Trailer 2 and gta 6 marketing and promotional material. I was on cloud 9 when I got my hands on gta 5, the map added to the standard edition, not even Special or Collector's Edition was so GENIUS and gold ❤. Thank you for working on GTA 5 and RDR2 no matter the scale or length ☺️👍🏾it's highly appreciated, thank you.
If people still think this game is coming out next year, I feel bad for them. A whole year and not even screenshots shared on this game lol. Yikes.
The problem with those wild fans is that they always think that rockstar leaves next reveal/release date, but I bet when they were revealing first trailer, there was no date planned for the next one. But it is indeed funny to look at how far imagination of some fans will go😂

No, it won't. And you all will be dissapointed
Hope you’re right.
Hey York , I ‘ am inclined in some way to agree with you regarding marketing and keeping it alive . But I do feel R* should open up more instead of keeping ultrasilence , as a fan back when even the first GTA ever came out , I do find myself not checking news regarding the game because of all the shitty clickbaiters on RUclips and I don’t believe it unless I hear it from R* themselves . I totally agree they shouldn’t spoil anything but letting out a little more legit stuff is what would drive me more to follow it more closely , because I do think they lose interest by keeping quiet and not keeping us updated . It’s been more than ten years since GTA V and I’m not saying I’m not hyped but I just will see it when it gets out , I even don’t care anymore if it gets out tomorrow or over a year of two, that’s how disconnected I feel about the game
I literally just got this theory that trailer 2 is coming out in December 22 and I'm only at 3:41 in this video. Finally I'm feeling genius.
@imnotoula feel the force within you!! Hah
RUclips deleted my prior comment, love your videos and I play both games you worked on daily, and see your animations and it would be more than an honor to interview!
Yes, it's fine that you call it a special method of mystery, but let me argue.
Rockstar used to release trailers as early as possible, there were a lot of trailers and a lot of different promotional materials despite the mystery - it satisfied the audience's attention even though it was the 2000s when people had less access to the internet, now when we are online every day all this silence looks like ignoring especially when you develop a game after 10 years of waiting (if you lose that time you lose the audience's trust).
Trying to show that silence is a special approach is generally a pretty stupid idea very similar to the idea when in GTA3 Rockstar refused to do voice acting for Claude, trying to call it something new where the player has to voice the character himself, later they themselves admitted that they just didn't have enough time and resources for voice acting.
The mystery approach looks good when you did regular releases and didn't spit on your players in favor of milking money, but I think this company policy just became their old symptom rather than anything special. Especially when this side has negative consequences in the form of hiding reworks, harassment of workers and developers, terrible attitude of management to their employees, not to mention the fact that players do not get any information about the development of games it is simply afraid to publish although the developers would like to tell about them. And when developers start to share - they are banned and canceled by their own company, it's hypocrisy, especially considering what Rockstar were in the beginning, they were studios that promised creative freedom to others and then after a few releases turned it into a nightmare for some of them.
Out of curiosity: why'd you leave Rockstar?
People keep saying it will be woke, but they put a latina character in without making her a lesbian. This is almost unheard of in this day, so saying it is woke is ridiculous.
At this point, I think the GTA and Gravity Falls communities have a lot of overlap…
Happy Holidays, York! I hope you and your family have been well!
Hopefully we get trailer 2 soon! Also I thought since you worked on the Batman, I’ve made a drawing of him, it’s my profile picture
honestly the first moon theory was just pure coincidence. r* knew they were dropping the trailer in early December, as they announced that to us. why wouldn't they announce the trailer date early, or like how it happened, the first day of december?
What are y’all’s thoughts about the woke concerns in gta 6? GTA always made fun of everybody…will this game be toned down? Personally I think a lot of the “woke” criticism is overblown in games, but it is a valid concern in some cases.
Man working at that place must have been cool
Would be cool to see you react to some of Rscent interviews done by Lazlow taking about RDR2 and there was Recent Ex Rockstar Dev on GTA 6 O'clock which would be cool to see your reaction to there experience at Rockstar compared to your own.
The rockstar community can legit solve crimes if rockstar tied GTA 6 trailer 2 into a murder case.
Love your positive vibes man!
Please tell your friends at Rockstar to include Cougars in missions to piss off DarkViperAU
