Grand Theft Auto 6 Trailer 2 Gets Hilarious GTA 5 Remake
Rockstar Games dropped the second trailer for their highly anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6 on May 6th, 2025, giving fans another glimpse of the game’s protagonists, Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos. But one creative fan has taken things a step further, recreating the entire trailer within Grand Theft Auto 5, replacing Jason and Lucia with the familiar faces of Michael De Santa and Trevor Philips.
A Hilarious Swap
The two-minute, 37-second video, created by YouTuber Gu1maz (@guimazr), has already racked up over 57,000 views. It cleverly uses GTA 5 assets and locations to mirror almost every shot from the official trailer. The recreation opens with Michael's iconic line from the original GTA 5 trailer: "Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather." But the real fun comes from the unexpected casting: Trevor, in a surprising role reversal, plays Lucia.
- Creative Liberties: Gu1maz takes some hilarious creative liberties, making the most of the differences between the two game's animation and character styles.
- AI Voiceovers?: The dialogue appears to be AI-generated, mimicking Michael and Trevor's voices. This extends even to the background music, an AI-rendered version of "Hot Together" (the original trailer's song) sung in Trevor’s voice.
- A Message to Rockstar: The recreation ends with Michael leaving a playful message for Rockstar Games, urging them not to delay GTA 6 any further.
The official release date for GTA 6 is currently set for May 26th, 2026, a significant push from the initially planned Fall 2025 launch. While the delay disappointed many, the new trailer (and accompanying screenshots) offered some consolation. This fan-made recreation adds another layer of entertainment for eager fans.
This isn't the first time GTA 6 trailers have been recreated using GTA 5's engine. The first trailer, released in December 2023, also saw similar fan-made remakes across various games.
A Matter of Timing and Ethics
While Gu1maz's creativity is undeniable, the use of AI for voiceovers and music raises some ethical questions. Many voice actors are concerned about AI's potential to replace human talent. While some clever modding uses existing voice lines to create new dialogue without resorting to AI mimicry, the distinct AI feel to the voiceovers in this video is hard to ignore.
- Impressive Visuals: Despite the AI voice concerns, the video's visual recreation is impressively detailed. Each shot has been painstakingly recreated with GTA 5 elements, showcasing the creator's dedication.
- The Debate Rages On: As with all things GTA, the online community is buzzing, sharing their reactions and opinions on the recreation and the ethics of using AI.
The Verdict?
Gu1maz's GTA 5 recreation of the GTA 6 trailer is a testament to fan creativity and the enduring appeal of Rockstar's flagship franchise. While the AI-generated audio aspects may be divisive, the video's comedic timing and impressive visual recreation make it a fun watch for any GTA enthusiast. It serves as both a testament to the fanbase's passion and a reminder of the intense anticipation surrounding the upcoming release of GTA 6.
