A Look Back at Grand Theft Auto Announcement Trailers

The first trailer for Grand Theft Auto V will be released by Rockstar Games today at 12 noon Eastern Time. To help get you ready, we’ve assembled a collection of trailers from each installment in the Grand Theft Auto franchise.

Now the traditional trailer format that we know today wasn’t employed much back in 1997 when Grand Theft Auto was first released, so the video for the first GTA is a fan made trailer (uploaded by Youtube user HitokageProduction) while the video for GTA II is an official 8 minute live-action trailer that Rockstar produced.

The rest, however, are all of the first trailers produced for their respective titles. Not only do they provide for a nostalgic look back at Grand Theft Auto’s history, but we might also get a rough picture for how the GTA V trailer will appear when it’s first released.

Enjoy and be sure to leave your thoughts about Grand Theft Auto’s past, present, and future in the comments or the forums!
