TheGTA 6trailer hasn’t even been out for a week yet and already has 140 million views and ten million likes. ‘Hit’ doesn’t even cover it. But looking deeper into the statistics, we know just what those 100 million people looked at most. Surprise surprise, it was the girl on the balcony dancing in her bikini.
You can probably guess why. I won’t spell it out for you. We’re all grownups here, unless you’re not. But there might be a… more logical reason.
As highlighted by the GTA 6 Trailer Countdown Twitter account, the other most-watched shots include Lucia in prison looking out at the yard, the Miami (Vice City) beach full of people, the strip club, and two guys shaking hands.
Ever since the trailer dropped,fans have been trying to decipherwhothe woman in the bikini is. Some think it’s just a random generic NPC hanging out at a party, while others are adamant that it’s Lucia. We can’t even agree at TheGamer (I’m firmly in the it’s-Lucia camp).
So, it might just be that people are pausing and replaying this specific scene over and over, juicing the stats, to try and answer the question, ‘Is it Lucia?’ After all, fans have highlighted some very specific details, like a missing mole. The kind of details you have to watch the shot over and over again to notice.
Even sharing the stats has drummed up the conversation again, as everyone does their best Charlie mailroom impersonation as they put together boards of evidence, obsessing over every single minute difference.
Cracking the case will net us… er, something. What will the two being the same person matter? Get ready for two years of this, gamers.
But of course, many don’tbuythat it’s the main reason people are replaying this scene. “They ain’t tryna figure out who it is mf they’re just horny,” @SpursIad said.
“We all know why the community is so eager to click that moment,” @BlunderAdam quote retweeted.
@ValleyBoyOnEm, who clearly wants to watch the world burn, threw out another theory on the woman’s identity - it’s Lucia’s sister. Speculate away.
At any rate, the GTA 6 trailer has been a resounding success for Rockstar, even though it leaked early. It’s no surprise that people are pouring over it for a crumb of information.
