Where confirmed Extended Look details belong
Characters should receive officially named people, confirmed relationships, and clearly identified returning figures—not guessed names.
Locations should receive officially named regions and places, with visible but unnamed settings kept separate from confirmed map labels.
Vehicles should distinguish Rockstar-named models from visually identifiable vehicles and purely descriptive entries.
Features should separate mechanics Rockstar confirms from activities, systems, animals, environments, and interactions that are only shown.
Videos should add the final official watch asset and route readers back here for the full Extended Look summary.
Recommendation
Use the official schedule; wait for the official footage
The time and viewing channels are settled. The content is not. Watch through Netflix or Rockstar's later official destinations, then judge characters, locations, vehicles, features, and gameplay only from what Rockstar actually publishes.
