Looking for “Trailer 3”? It’s the Launch Trailer

Rockstar never used that name: the October 15 video is called the Launch Trailer, and most of the press counts it as the third trailer because the August 27 Extended Look was a 27-minute gameplay presentation. Both are below, each with its breakdown.
