New GTA V video flaunts series humour

4.7
New Grand Theft Auto V footage has been released via a Rockstar 'Epsilon' screensaver.

Viral marketing kicked off on the Take-Two owned website for Epsilon - a fictional religious cult across a number of GTA games - last year alongside a related Twitter account.
"The cult first emerged as a teaser site for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and [was] later referenced numerous times on radio stations and by pedestrians in the game itself," according to the GTA Wikia.

"The cult is an obvious scam, intended to gain money by brainwashing its followers into paying large sums of money, parodying the real life Church of Scientology."

WizardNinja I cannot wait for this game, but this video hurt them if anything.


How did this video hurt them. It talks about a cult inside the GTA universe. It's just a little teaser to the long term GTA fans that know everything about the game.


Barely anyone knows everything


the long time fans will get it. the new fans will not.

Seems, like they are parodying the Catholic church more than Scientology.

Vampiric Dafuq was that heap of crap?
Hardly done anything good in terms of promoting the game...


It's not crap it promoted the game for long term GTA fans. It talks about a cult in the GTA universe. It's for the people who know everything about the game. You never know maybe this cult is a huge part of the story. This cult originated from GTA SA it was also used to promote the game for GTA SA too. Actually read the text before commenting..
