Ahead of last week’s PlayStation Showcase, eternally optimistic fans of the Grand Theft Auto The franchise convinced itself that Rockstar would finally drop the trailer for the long-awaited sequel to GTA V, which will celebrate the eighth anniversary of its release on Xbox 360 and PS3 later this week.

When the event kicked off, we were treated to trailers for upcoming follow-ups to The Incredibly Enjoyable Spider Man and the last installment of God of the war. When you consider that these two sequels were announced three years after the fall of their predecessors, it didn’t seem unreasonable to expect Grand Theft Auto news, which we finally got in the form of … yet another trailer for GTA V.

GTA V was originally upgraded in 2014 to what were then the next generation of consoles and got an even more impressive facelift when it dropped to PC the following year. However, there weren’t exactly a ton of people clamoring for the next-gen version due out on PS5 and Xbox Series X and S in March.

At this point, it’s clear that Rockstar is more than happy to milk the title (and the savagely lucrative Grand Theft Auto Online) for all it’s worth.

That of the Sony chain is currently leading the pack with 123,000 negative reactions, Rockstar Games coming in second with 117,000 and Xbox leading with relatively paltry 6,000.

Hell has no fury like despised gamers.
