[QUOTE="Admin, post: 61591, member: 1"] The Grand Theft Auto series continues to heavily influence the industry, as many have been quick to parody the colorful teaser template Rockstar used last week to announce the date and time for the first trailer for [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/grand-theft-auto-vi']Grand Theft Auto 6[/URL]. Specifically, game development studios have hopped on the trend, posting images using the same sunset-esque colors to announce when to expect new information on a game they are working on. 343 Industries was [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/halo-infinite-parodies-gta-6-trailer-teaser-cue-confusion-and-amusement']among the first[/URL] to parody the template, borrowing the same vibrant color aesthetic to announce a new trailer for Halo Infinite drops on December 4. Sea of Thieves developer Rare [URL='https://twitter.com/SeaOfThieves/status/1731659677555896553']also used the template[/URL] to announce that new information will be available on its pirate-themed game on December 7. While it did not specify what time exactly, given [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/the-game-awards-2023-air-date-announced']The Game Awards falls on this day[/URL], it may be one of the many announcements set to appear during the show. Studios under the Activision Blizzard umbrella were quick to strike while the iron was hot. The official [URL='https://twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/1730756551861002593']Overwatch X account[/URL] used the template to announce and tease the time and date for a trailer for Overwatch 2's eighth season. Raven Software took advantage of the trend to promote the launch of Season 1 for Call of Duty Warzone. Mediatonic, the studio behind Fall Guys, [URL='https://twitter.com/FallGuysGame/status/1730643986258227592']replicated the template[/URL] as well. While it did not use the same colors or anything akin to a sunset in the background, the image did replicate the format and structure that Rockstar used to tease info on a new trailer, along with the date and time for when it will be publicly available. Indie developer Whatboy Games [URL='https://twitter.com/stellarisnexus/status/1731674769773281615']parodied the image[/URL] to announce that its upcoming multiplayer game, Stellaris Nexus, was getting delayed. The game was supposed to be released in Early Access tomorrow, but to avoid clashing with GTA 6's trailer, the studio announced it was pushing the release date back a week. According to [URL='https://store.steampowered.com/app/1983990/Stellaris_Nexus/']its Steam Page[/URL], it will be released instead on December 12. I'm merely scratching the surface, though, as developers are not the only ones using the template to create their own parody images. For example, [URL='https://twitter.com/WalmartCAGaming/status/1731009977307832699']Walmart Canada Gaming's X account[/URL] used the template to remind everyone that its retail chain sells games 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not to mention, gamers and fans of other franchises have taken it upon themselves to parody the GTA 6 teaser trailer image. One user on the Manhunt subReddit, for example, [URL='https://www.reddit.com/r/ManhuntGames/comments/18959z3/manhunt_3_poster_teaser_a_reference_to_the_gta_6/']made a Manhunt 3 poster teaser[/URL] inspired by the GTA 6 aesthetics. X/Twitter users have also had a field day, using the template to reshare news, such as [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/phil-spencer-shouts-out-banjo-kazooie-while-talking-about-bringing-back-older-franchises']Phil Spencer name-dropping Banjo-Kazooie[/URL] in a recent interview or confirmation that [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/destiny-2-the-final-shape-officially-delayed-to-june-2024']Destiny 2: The Final Shape was delayed to June 4, 2024[/URL].
