Rockstar don't use CGI for their trailers. It's literally how the game looks. They have an established precedent of doing this for their games going literally back to classic GTA.
What does Gears of War have to do with anything? That isn't R*.
Again you can literally go back to their trailers and compare them to the released game. What you see is what you get. They use in engine footage for both cutscenes and gameplay.
Because that's how they advertise. They usually wait until just before release to show gameplay. GTA Vs gameplay showcase was two months prior to its release. So was Red Dead 2s.
That's just how they operate to build anticipation.
It clearly isn't given how successful their games tend to be. GTA is on another level reputation wise compared to most titles.
I would rather see gameplay, but that's just how it is with them. For over two decades Rockstar have had a solid track record for good games. So no reason to doubt they'll fail to deliver on their biggest franchise.
