So it's set in New York, and you play an eastern european type. And it looks nice.

Meh.

Actually looking at the trailer a second time the meh comment is a bit harsh, it does look very very nice...

 

[HMD]

do you have a link?

 

[Stan Bowles]

The whole world seems to be trying to view it, so it's a bit slow...

[HMD]

it doesn't give much away. When is it due out?

 

[Stan Bowles]

October 16th I believe.

set to the music of koyaanisqatsi.
looks cool.

 

[pete]

looks nice. would rather have seen some actual gameplay.

 

[THRILLHO]

Well, it's certainly next-gen. I mean, jesus, it's almost unrecognizable as a Grand Theft Auto game. I really like the little Koyaanisqatsi touches, but the whole thing seems very... I dunno... serious?

 

[Johnnyc]

No doubting it looks impressive. The footage actually looks in-game to me. The lighting looks especially beautiful.

 

[RSJ]

Did they announce what systems it's out on?

 

[Gambra]

Are we really sure its a GTA?? It just says IV at the end of the trailer...

 

[THRILLHO]

Well, the URL for the quicktime trailer is "GTAIV_trailer1_640x360q.html"

 

[Gambra]

Does it? I downloaded it from another forum that just said 1280x720.wmv, my mistake. Carry on.

tis 360 and ps3 at the moment, heard nintendo were circling the waters for it as well, but m$ might be buying take 2 so might become a 360 exclusive

That = almost certain death for Sony and the PS3. The GTA series was one of the major reasons people bought a flipping PS2.

looks great. very well made trailer. although computer game timelapse is weird.

One of my mates is a 3D artist for Rockstar North (which is the best job ever by the way!), and I'm fairly sure that he said it's being developed for both. As for the death of the PS3 - don't you believe it.. it'll take time but I can see it happily building up in sales. I also see it screwing up HD-DVD. It's already got blu-ray in far more homes than HD-DVD, and is much cheaper for a player that does a lot more than just play dvds.

I thought it was a bit pointless. Any game would look deadly if you just showed snippets of cut scenes. Except for halo 3 of course.

well i thought it was good in the sense that it was like a movie trailer. and games are becoming more and more like films.
oh youre damn right that it doesnt make me want to buy the game. but it makes me wanna see in game footage.
just creates a buzz really.

 

[CitySickness]

All the cutscenes in the GTA series since it went 3D have been in-engine – so you can expect the game to look pretty much like it does here.

I just hope they sort out the ropey framerate problems that plagued Vice City & San Andreas - you don't really feel in control of the vehicles when everything's moving like a slideshow.
