The Day Before devs under fire after being accused of copying GTA 5 trailer script FntasticThe Day Before developers have been accused of ripping off old GTA 5 trailers, with Reddit users accusing the creators of copying the scripts and narration from the latter in new content for the upcoming game. When it comes to video game trailers, developers use these promotional videos as a great way to market new content ahead of release. These trailers take on many different forms, whether that be cinematic, actual gameplay footage or the more narrative-focused videos. However, one video game has found itself at the center of controversy after fans pointed out that a new gameplay trailer bears a striking resemblance to an old GTA V piece of promo. The game in question, The Day Before, is set to release in December 2023. The upcoming game is set to be a new multiplayer open-world survival horror title and is being developed by Fntastic. One Redditor took to the platform to accuse the devs of \u201cusing the same script\u201d and narrator as an old GTA V trailer. The post includes both trailers, with users commenting on the thread that they too see the similarities. One user wrote, \u201cThe Day Before trailer really reminded me of Rockstar\u2019s gameplay overview trailers, but this takes the cake. You\u2019re right, they\u2019re actually astonishingly similar. The speaker is virtually the exact same and for the one-minute comparison I made, the script follows the same structure.\u201d Other players also claimed the UI in The Day Before is \u201chighly reminiscent of GTA 5\u2019s PC UI.\u201d Not exactly helping Fntastic\u2019s case in the argument. \u201cI would usually call the above extreme nitpicking, but given the similarity in the trailer you just pointed out, I honestly think it was deliberately done.\u201d Another added, \u201cYou can look up previous trailers and how they copy trailers like The Last of Us and Call of Duty shot for shot. So copying GTA was definitely their intention with this one,\u201d one user claimed. And while some fans have come to a consensus that The Day Before and GTA V trailers are very similar, not everyone has a problem with it. \u201cI don\u2019t mean to sound smug\u2026 but so what? Rockstar\u2019s trailer style isn\u2019t copyrighted and it makes perfect sense to copy something that was successful before,\u201d one player fired back. \u201cMore power to them, actually, because those narrated trailers are the best.\u201d The Day Before is set to release on December 7, 2023.
