GTA IV Trailer

Here is the Grand Theft Auto 4 Trailer, enjoy.

[techie]

The lighting looks great. SOunds kool. I'm not satisfied as didn't see enough.

At least its ingame.

They've come a long way since the ps1 days that's for sure! But being so realistic...might it take things too far? Going around a realistic new york and killing people with a machine gun? Putting bombs in cars and blowing vehicles up...? ...hmmm

Will be a nice contrast to the Getaway set in London.

[GaMr-]

OMG The main character looks like a terrorist..

This game will be banned in less than a week. Get your copy ASAP. lol

[Lyberator]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Caxtus750]

that looked great! iv missed GTA! CAnt play other sandbox games...they just get boring compared to GTA (Crackdown anyone?)

and thank god the "gangsta and gang" phase is over!!! sheesh! Saints Row!!! ahhhh so lame!

ANyone notice the ALan WAke likess to their trailer?

[InMyOpinion]

And what does a terrorist look like? Sounds a bit prejudice.

[dissectionalrr]

have you ever seen a terrorist that WASN'T middle eastern? not counting the unibomber or timothy mcvey lol. sorry, but terrorist = middle eastern male. this is one case in which racial profiling DOES make sense. americans don't want to blow up american, towelheads do.

[N4G_FANBOY_CRAP]

Yeah just a little bit prejudice

[InMyOpinion]

I've seen a grayhaired fundamentalist christian terrorist named George. He manipulates his country through massmedial brainwashing to justify his cause - to steal other countries natural resources through war. Do you ever think "Hmmm, I wonder WHY they are attacking us?" Check out a documentary called Jesus Camp. Christians aren't any saner than muslims, it's all about interpretation. George W is an evangelist (one of the insane interpretations of the bible), almost goes without saying. Do you still feel uneasy when you're around people from the middle east? Muhammed Ali is muslim, does that make him a terrorist threat?

If your president isn't a terrorist, explain Guantanamo Bay (concentration camp). I'm sorry to say this but as long as you (yes you ,the people who voted for G.W.Bush) keep starting wars with countries for no legitamite reason (instead of using diplomacy) innocent people will have to take the blow, in both countries. Seems like you don't question your governments actions; As long as the president ends his speech with "God bless America" you're all for it. Scary indeed.

Your shady perspective on other cultures isn't helping.

[dachiefsman]

This is a gamer board and forum take your political BS elsewhere cause some of us really don't care about your political opinions.

The trailers shows potential but I would have liked more.

[Keyser]

Jenzo, I was with you till you said the "God Bless America" part. Every President ends there speeches with God Bless America. It's actually a historical part fo America. Whether we practice it, we are a Christian nation. Doesn't mean we're better than a Muslim nation but most people in the United States are Christians.

We're not going to get in to a religious or a idealogical debate on a gaming website but I think GaMr was being funny. He looks like a Eastern European underworldling.

To dissectionalrr comments, you may not have lived long enough to remember the IRA terrorists. The most populated Muslim nations are in the Middle East but in Indonesia. They don't look like Middleastern men. More Fox news for everyone...

[BIGBAER]

As has been said: this is a gaming news site, not a political soapbox.

Two points:

Your gamer pic of a grossly overweight female shows YOU to be prejudiced yourself. Mocking another person's condition with a gamer pic and then having the balls to call accuse another of 'prejudice' is the high-point of hypocrisy.

Obviously you know very little about Christianity, Evangelical or otherwise, and almost nothing about Islam.

Keep the replies and topics on point please.

Now... GTA IV --- I can't wait! I am looking forward to a deep storyline. I do wish that the setting would have been in Chicago however. It's a great city to explore.

[techie]

APprove this one god damn!

Thank god for that! Well done Jeb. You win this time...

[Ps3007]

Im more interested in gameplay, whats going to seperate this from the others I played besides graphics?

[OldSchoolGamer]

skin kittens in a minigame, make a furcoat, which can be sold on Ebay to the guy whose kidneys you just removed and sold on Ebay, who is actually the new born, who you are the father of (which you sold on Ebay), through a coffee-esque mini game, where you knocked up the $10 whore, by missing too many buttons and the condom broke, only to have said kitten-fur coat, kidney less, Ebay sold, condom-leak son hunt you down for 10 years of missed child support. Man these things have so much to do in them now.

[DrWan]

I know i will probably be bashed till I hit the 18th level of hell by everybody..but really, from the depth of my heart..I think this trailer sucked.. It didn't excite me alot about this game at all. (i have played the previous GTAs). I didn't see alot of action in that trailer, the graphics didn't "wow me", although very nice architectures. What are everyone's thought on this...

Sorry for the negative comment already, but that's how i felt after seeing it..its weird..i was so excited during the last minute countdown too..(u probalby see me repost this in several thread since u guys made so many of these posts)

[TheFamilyGuy]

yeah i agree. especially with the whole countdown thing i expected to see a lot more.

The game is coming out in October, so it isn't like they aren't far enough along in the development to show some better footage.

it was better than nothing i guess...

[Sexius Maximus]

Whats funny is, some people say Halo 3 will be the most overhyped game ever, but I see GTA IV being more so. The game looks fine, but nothing mind blowing...but then again, GTV 3 wasn't mind blowing either. Whether we all agree or not, "next gen" is based on graphics, otherwise it would just be a Xbox/PS2 game. I'm just not impressed graphically...yet (mind you, Rockstar still has plenty of time to work on it)

[FordGTGuy]

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/g...

[vidoardes]

I must admit, I wasn't wowed liked I thought I would be, but those graphics do look pretty damn stunng, when you consider what the size of the playing field should be... I guess we will have to wait for ingame shots

[silent ninja]

since when did gta franchise have mind blowing graphics

[AseBoogie4132]

gtaIII was mindblowing during its release, i remember buying every magazine with gta in it. i was fu**ing amazed!

[TOM]

GTA has always been know for less that stellar visuals,as well as half assed controls. Not sure where you would get the idea it was considered pertty. Fun as hell?yes.Pretty?hell No

[FordGTGuy]

http://xboxyde.com/news_415...

[vidoardes]

Thanks, the gametrailers version was downloadign at about 6k!

[DG]

If the environments are destructible then Ill say WOW!

[PSN Starfleets]

Some of the screens, like the one of the Empire State, look last-gen but I suppose you'll have to lose some textures in some areas in order to make up for areas where you'll actually notice it (and not at the top of a sky scrapper).

6/10 for me based on the video.

[PS360PCROCKS]

haha wow could they make it any more obvious it's liberty city again? Geesh if nobody caught the trains, the statue of liberty, the time square, the sign that says Liberty Tree, the boat that says "Platypus Liberty City" on the back and the two tunnels where it reads above " IBER Y FER Y TERMINAL" cool tho big game big city works for me...I thought the trailer was cool tho

[vidoardes]

It shows how popular it is though, Gametrailers racked up over 45,000 downlaods in 50 minutes

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

Wat a cop out...They shoulda tried a new city like chiacago...atlanta.......anywh ere but new york again..

[SmokeyMcBear]

wow some harsh critics. Yeah, I have seen better graphics on games, but these look damn good, considering you have to mimic an entire city, one the size of new york. Time square looked pretty sweet, but as someone said, gta has never been about having the best graphics, its about, I can do whatever the hell I want and have a blast doing it gameplay, and just looking at the scenery while im plowing a hooker or commmiting drive bys, its just gets the mind racing on what is going to be possible. I just wanna hear some examples of the commentary of the people I walk by, that stuff is hilarious. They didn't show a lot of gameplay, or any actually, but just thinking of the possibilities, I wanna ride that roller coaster, I wanna jump from the empire state building and land on some pedestrians, I wanna take a harrier underneath the brooklyn bridge, I wanna nade yankee stadium, I wanna go swimming in the east river and find some bodies with concrete shoes, I wanna be able to take an old ladies purse and beat her with it, granted rockstar needs to show me more, but that trailer got me thinking about the possiblities, and isnt that what trailers are for. Aren't you disappointed in seeing a trailer and wanted to see the movie, only to have the trailer have every single good part of the movie, and you wish you hadn't gone. naw, this trailer was perfect, gets people thinking

how can you not go to new york, the perfect place to see next gen graphics. Everyone will recognize new york, what does chicago have, the sears building, what else, no new york is perfect to start off the new generation of gta. Get back to the beginning

haha geez, didnt mean to get you riled up, I can understand you live there, or near by, and would like to see it, its just that pretty much everyone in america knows about new york, and when seeing something, can say, hey i saw this in a movie, or hey ive been here. I'm not dissing chicago, in fact i love the bears, but its not as recongizable, take it back to the beginning, im sure there will be many more cities done, but fore the first, I can see anything better than a remake of a classic.

[HuntingYou]

I am sick of hearing about newyork...its not that great. the only thing its got is that it is huge but its also so cramped. i have been there planty of times...chicago and miami are the best places.
LA sucks!
chicago is beautiful, for starters its got wrigly field, comeski park, soldier field, hancock building, sears tower, ton of other cool building, badass clubs, badass river running through it, navy pier, great zoos, milwaukee is close by and so is indy,its got a lot of things on the out skirts and if they would devolp the expressways in the game you would get the best skyline view of any US city, o'hare airport, buckham fountain, daley plaza, has a great lake and tons of other stuff....oh and not to mention a great history...espacially with the mob. so don't dis chicago man.

I am just gettinbg tired of seeing NY. that first bridge remided me of gta3...remember. then the is spiderman which looks just ike this and i bet the new one is excatly like this.

EDIT: for the game the river cuts through the city so i would be grat for the boats in the game, the streets and expressways would be perfect for chases and more then one airport for getting to milwaukee, indy, springfield or the quadcities.

[Premonition]

Hopefully more will be shown at E3.

[JIN KAZAMA]

my type of game. I never really got into GTA series. I'll give it a shot once this comes out, probably rent it first. Hopefully they'll have some demo of it before then. But, for the GTA fans, it seems like it didnt give you guys that "WOW" factor either.

[THAMMER1]

Gta is GTA. The scope of the environments and the story will be better than Saints Row and that is all I care about. Just out do the comp. I still like Saints Row but lets not be too hard on GTA. We have only seen the 1st lil bit.

[GaMr-]

WOW.... Hype 101.....

Im sorry this was not and I repeat was not worth the countdown. Yeah it looks better... well duhhh its next-gen grand theft auto. "next-gen". But after a countdown you figure you would get some gameplay details or here about some new options or whatever. ohhh well. the trailer wasnt worth much. I belive official details on the game will be alot better. Besides GTA has never been about graphics.

[Scrooge]

I was blown away by that trailer!

[Caxtus750]

agreed! NO other sandbox have i enjoyed as much as GTA and dont get me started on the dire Saints Row...Its GTA.....father of sandbox gameplay.....get excited!!

:D

[GaMr-]

WOW.... Hype 101.....

Im sorry this was not and I repeat was not worth the countdown. Yeah it looks better... well duhhh its next-gen grand theft auto. "next-gen".

[kewlkat007]

If you have been playing this series since on the PC, try to remember where this game has been and where it is going. This game I'm sure is not near completion. This franchise has come a long way.

Ok I like the trailer, I know the game is not polished an dup to par so why bash the graphics. This game will sell millions I think. Should be interesting to see where the install base for both console are when it hits. Hopefully they don't make this for PS2, then you really can't enjoy the HD.

[SmokeyMcBear]

serious, if they could do an entire state with the ps2, then I can't even comprehend the world of gtaIV, maybe the entire eastern seabord, if liberty city is going to be the focus, i really hope they have atlantic city on there, maybe boston.. oh man this trailer just got me thinking, this game is going to be so fun

[DrWan]

the cars and stuff, this is present day now i assume? instead of in the 70's ish?

[FFVIIFan]

but when you think about the scope of the game and all the calculations that go into running this small real world, and compared to Saints Row, I think it looks pretty f'n good. I want to hear more about load times and things like a new fighting system.

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

I wonder how many disc this will be for the xbox 360.....?

[vidoardes]

ha ha, ha ha, ha.... jackass

[kingboy]

puufff!! i guess 9 gigs max on both consoles..too bad the ps3`s larger Blu Ray capacity advantage wouldn`t stand out as a factor here because of xbox 360`s limitations

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

1

[nice_cuppa]

to duplicate data so the loading is as fast as on 360.

[power of Green]

I wonder how this game could have looked if it was built from the ground up for the 360, PS3 is holding it back graphiclly.

[Mighty Boom]

So dissapointed...

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Its as good as Grand Theft Auto III and better than San Andreas with good online.

[GEV1L]

Ive been playing since the pc and still miss being able to get a goranga by running over all the joggers in one pass. Fond memories of playing it with my frinds while getting all pied and competing for the largest criminal record. I was awestruck by the leap of gta3 and cannot even imagine what is in store for us next

[milthaar]

it is set in the 1960-1970 cause the main char is polish i thin it takes time during the great migration

[TheExecutive]

looking at the cars I would say its a little closer to modern day...

[deathtok]

Maybe I'm wrong but the character sounded Russian.

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

Kz probably will drop before this game comes out yet..we have seen more of this game than KZ...and for the record the game looks like crap yet its gta..Looks like a cut scene for San Andres...Not too Bad I hope they dont limit it just make it multiple disc for 360 or install it

[hulk_bash1987]

Was it jus me or did anyone else feel like during the first part they were watching a trailer for a Spiderman game??

[techie]

http://www.n4g.com/NewsPend... 25 screens there

[tethered]

It looks amazing!

[Boink]

dissapointed.

I'm now down to a rental for this one, unless they do some serious work on it.

it looked so last gen...

[Droidbro]

that trailer was lame

[omegaheat]

I would think that after having competition from games such as Saints Row, GTAIV would at least be on par with Saints Row in the graphics department. I guess the devs didn't learn much after developing for the PS2 for so many years. Graphics have never been one of the strong areas of the GTA games, but with the capabilities of the 360 and PS3 they could at least try. Hate my comment or whatever, but the GTA games are all the same with a different coat of paint. I bought both games for the PSP and they were exactly the same. It's time to stop milking the cow, it's time to move on.

[techie]

Hence the complete overhaul of graphics and the title of the trailer being "things will be different"!?

[Caxtus750]

ye saints row looked nice...but it felt to me like another wanna be "gangsta" rip off of GTA.

I cant believe so many people are moaning. Its exciting stuff! the trailer looks awesome....and for people saying its not "next gen" please boot up or play an original xbox or PS2 game eg SAn Andreas....i think yu have forgotten what last gen looked like *remebers haze*

[Lazyman]

The main character is sweet Russia for life man.

[troylazlow]

Looks gay to me! Unless I can fight a 50 story marshmellow man I don't want't to play another NY game!

[jonnyjd1]

Can't wait for it to come out.

[jwatt]

The graphics were nice but like many said I wasn't that excited for the trailer. At first I thought it was in London it kind of reminded me of the Getaway but I hope the mood is not as serious as the Getaway.

[CaliGamer]

I am really shocked at the reaction of some of you, especially the ones that call yourself gamers. Its funny but when looking at this trailer, I kept in mind a few key facts about the GTA series when assesing the quality of the game so far.
The first is the scope of the game, this game is huge and the only other game I can say that I have played to compare to it on a "Next Gen System" is Oblivion. I saw a level of polish at times superior to Oblivion in terms of lighting and the sense of size of the world. Second, the effects that I see all seem next generation, I see reflections on windows, I see reflections on the water, there seems to be a genuine attention to detail in the world that was not seen in the last generation of GTA.
Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion but I would stop short of judging the developers, if you really want to be efficient in evaluations something then at least use the information you have about the subject matter to come to your new conclusion. This is only the first trickle of info that has come out, as such it would be ridiculous to jump to any judgement at this point.
IMO the effects used so far give the city a realistic look, and I am hopeful from what I have seen so far. The subtle effects are what is on showcase here, I would suggest that many of you take time out again and view the trailers subtle details rather than seeking some huge revelation.
May I remind you we don't know how old this footage is, this could be a current build or something from a few months ago a la Heavenly Sword. Just a thought.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Its called an (opinion) if they like it good, if they don't so what get over it. So anyone not liking a specific game you like game isn’t a gamer but a loser? Please dude not every one likes all games, I freaking hate most RPGs the ones I hate the most are FF, Fable and Zelda games (what are you going to flame me now because I don’t like these?) Guess what some people like the color blue over red "uh oh we should hang em" (sarcasm)

[DJ]

But I've got high hopes for the gameplay. I do agree that there's some dissonance in the graphical quality. Some parts look really amazing (the car driving through the neighborhood with the sunset in the background, while the skyscraper segment looked semi-lastgen. What I want to find out is where the main character's story heads. Hopefully it's not mafia related 'cause I've had enough of those stories for one lifetime.

[FeralPhoenix]

I was never into GTA but eventually I bought San Andreas....it was OK, but I still never really liked GTA, I actually liked the comic type "sand box" games like Spiderman and the Incredible Hulk:UD alot better. I guess thats why I bought Crackdown instead of Saints Row...but I think I will at least give GTAIV another try just to see if it really is as good as everyone claims.

[hells henchman]

not to offend anyone, but does the character look middle eastern, or is it just me? it wouldn't be unlike R* to stir the pot. like the guy said at the top of this post, would seem a little uneasy in the fact that you'd have a character of this nature running around New York blowing things up. again, if i offend ANYONE, it was not my intention

[AseBoogie4132]

like russian or albanian something close to that to me..

[Lyberator]

Hmm...wonder what everyones favorite lawyer has to say on the subject of the trailer.

[Legionaire2005]

GTA 4 looks like that game 2 days to Vegas Look on this Attach Image.

[AseBoogie4132]

i cant wait to play that 2 days, it sound so flam..

[Torch]

I'm not a big fan of the GTA series (I've tried but I always lose interest at around 4% completion), but if THAT's in-game, then my God have they come a long way. Take into account the incredible number of detailed and animate objects...and the awesome lighting.

IF that turns out to be in-game, and the story is as intriguing as the music makes it sound, then it's pretty definite that I'm going to give GTA another crack.

[Legionaire2005]

it is in-game!!!!!

[AseBoogie4132]

i dont want to "have to" eat and sh't like that again, i wanted liberty city, this better be a good city, i better be able to sell smack..

[xav0971]

How can you guys not be impressed by the graphics??? If you compare that with San Andres, San Andress looks like a cartoon in comparison. I'd say its about 10X better in graphics especially where the lighting is concerned. I will guarentee that there will be no destructible environments in this game...no way

[nicodemus]

since I was really looking forward to finally seeing GTA4, but I can't help but feel disappointed. The graphics are nowhere near what I was expecting (on top of which, apparently you don't play as an American).

Since the trailer gave no hint as to the differences in gameplay, the only thing to go off was graphics. And the reason they were disappointing, is in comparison to something like 2 Days to Vegas:

http://media.xbox360.ign.co...

[tethered]

Is there any 2 Days to Vegas gameplay vids out that we can compare GTA to?

If there are I would love to see them.
Until I see those I am sold on GTA4.

I think this will set the standard again as far as this type of game goes.

Looks better than:
Saints Row
Crackdown
and any other game out right now on any system.

I am not disappointed at all!

[Sevir04]

"Looks better than:
Saints Row
Crackdown"... I agree with you there

"....and any other game out right now on any system." If you mean in the same genre as this then yes but on a all game basis for for the ps3 and xbox360 then you need your head examined.... and even though they came along way in graphics they could have done better especially if what they are showing is a 360 version of the trailer, because they should have the learning curve with the xbox360 because of the RS tennis that was released last year. which to me looked more polished than this... it has a some what last gen feel in some parts. but time will show more, the game is 6 months away from completion so it's bound to get a graphics over haul if the develop right, but what counts more is game play and story... nothing mundane, please it's always the same Mafia BS and gang related framing Stuff that gets recycled year after year with every release. if this game is to be the best GTA ever then Something new and Drastic has to change and graphics should also be apart of that factor.

and PS. the getaway and today to vegas looks much better than this, and that game 2days to vega is by them and sony so go figure.

[tethered]

Sevir04-
“"....and any other game out right now on any system." If you mean in the same genre as this then yes but on a all game basis for for the ps3 and xbox360 then you need your head examined....””

- Haha! I should have my head examined regardless of what I post here.

Sevir04-
“”……..and even though they came along way in graphics they could have done better especially if what they are showing is a 360 version of the trailer, because they should have the learning curve with the xbox360 because of the RS tennis that was released last year. which to me looked more polished than this...””

- Well this is the first (or second with the 360) generation of games on the next generation hardware. I agree it should look as good as the tennis game but there are a lot more things going on in this huge world so I tend to cut them some slack.

Sevir04-
“”…..it has a some what last gen feel in some parts. but time will show more, the game is 6 months away from completion so it's bound to get a graphics over haul if the develop right, but what counts more is game play and story...””

- I agree with the 6 months thing and the game play and story.

Sevir04-
“”……nothing mundane, please it's always the same Mafia BS and gang related framing Stuff that gets recycled year after year with every release. if this game is to be the best GTA ever then Something new and Drastic has to change and graphics should also be apart of that factor.””

- I for one enjoy the Mafia BS and gang related stuff. That’s just me tho. We really have no idea where the story will go because so little is known at this point. There could be a drastic change. And again I think the graphics look great.

Sevir04-
“”and PS. the getaway and today to vegas looks much better than this, and that game 2days to vega is by them and sony so go figure.””

- Well I hated the game play with The Getaway so graphics can be better but as you stated before its all about the game play.
I still don’t know much about 2 days to Vegas. Yes it looks good but will it have fun game play? Its too early to tell but I hope so.

[troylazlow]

Looks gay to me! Unless I can fight a 50 story marshmellow man I don't want't to play another NY game!

[Sevir04]

but it still looks good. for me... i'll most likely rent this game becaus e i've never been a big fan of GTA, still it's a big game for the people who love it and like it and thats a hell of alot of people. it looks good, and at leats we know it's in game. NYC, not a bad city to do GTA in i wonder if this is a more modern one because all of the GTAs thats been release always seem to be 1980-1990s.... something taking place in a more modern time line would be nice, and what more could they do to help the series stop suffering from mundane gameplay, thats while fun and addictive still, mundane... waits to be seen. and this will surely sell very well. Sony and MS will reap big ones for this game... A next gen GTA, who wouldn't want it... still for me I'll rent. E307 people, E307, expect it to blow our lids off, PS3, xbox360, and Wii gamers alike be prepared for the utmost best year of gaming yet.

[Havince]

would like 2 have tually INGAME PLAYING footage as in someone controlling the character (yes i realsie the trailer WAS INGAME).

But the russian looks sweet, and makes a difference, and he should be interesting

[MikeGdaGod]

can't wait for this one

[lilwingman]

I'll pick up this game eventually when it comes down in price a bit. I personally am not a big fan of the GTA games (probably the only one) and play them strictly to use codes and get a tank, and see how many cops I can get following me. Or fly around town in the sweet Lamborghini wannabe cars :P . The storyline does absolutely nothing for me, but the gameplay is super fun.

[vidoardes]

There does seam to be alot of speculation as to this characters nationality, or even if He is indeed a playable character or a protagonist.. the acent is very hard to distinguish, and they are not givign alot away with His apperance... could be Russian, Eastern European or as suggested Middle Eastern (although I'm not convinced by this one) I'm guaging more to something like hungarian than anything, could prove to be a much more in depth story than we have seen in a GTA game before, as opposed to 'little fish in big town making His way to top dog' all over again

[miasma]

After a countdown, that was dissappointing. Need to see some game play footage.

[marcellizot]

Wow talk about being a tease

[Gamer13]

Then pow it is NYC where the game will take place, this is 1 of the best city in the world can,t wait to play this game.

Some part of the trailer seems last gen.

IM OUT...///"""

[OutpostCommand]

NYC, eh ?
Hmm, game is looking excellent.

The trailer itself...yeah, it was...ok...
I just kind of expected a tad more after such a countdown, and all that.
Still, its not too bad.
The lighting is brilliant I must say.

*crosses finger*
Please please please let there be destructive scenery !
And I dont mean a box or two...I mean buildings !

[Armyless]

I loathe myself when this thought taunts me, "God, please don't let me die before I play the next Grand Theft Auto..."

(Shudder) Now how long do I have to wait before I can jump out of another airplane?

[Armyless]

Can I PLEASE have a real-estate minigame that doesn't involve save spots? Let me buy and sell property like the Trump. I'm an older gamer, but still a gamer goddamnit.

[PG29]

it looks good

[tom1595]

i dont think this trailer is only about graphics. showing the people moving, the day progressing, the busy city life and especially the "life is complicated" thing suggests that the trailer is hinting more at the idea of a real world existing in the game. the complications of actions and what-not. not necessarily just trying to showcase some purdy grpahics. what do you guys think?

[Gamer13]

To bring it to life when the game is in play we need to see people taking taxi people drinking a bottle of water + people walking into store in and out etc plus more.

IM OUT...///"""

[Maldread]

a bit too much jaggies at the beginning, which could be because of the video quality, but as countless others have said before me here, GTA is about the gameplay, not graphics, although i would want a better framerate than in the previous games.

It would be cool to see what actual changes to the gameplay they have made. The targeting system should be better i would hope. Well,for me this was just a teaser,and maybe we `ll get to see more gameplay specific stuff at E3.

[zonetrooper5]

I downloaded the 720p version of the GTA IV trailer on my Xbox 360 a few mins ago and i gotta admit the graphics are very good, they remind me of Alan Wake. Rockstar are like Bungie, they like to give you hints and tips on their games, they like to tease you. It just parrt of building up alot of hype.

[Retard]

Yeah, cept Bungie goes for more of the limits of the system ability and Rockstar(GTA) goes more of a maximum size limit.

So they're doing this game in sections right? The initial game, and later add ons to the city like the suburbans and stuff which will come at a price most likely(10$ an area?) - makes me feel as if the hold back is kind of the DVD player for Xbox 360 which is no problem but still... does anyone want X360 to be able to run HD DVD games for cases such as this?

[PSN Starfleets]

I dont know which version to get. The PS3 version or the 360 version.

I feel the 360 version will have a more richer online resource and stable multiplayer..but I feel the PS3 version with its blu-ray discs will somehow offer a better gaming experience offline.

Hmmm

[vertigun]

it looks like a piece of $hit
sounds like a piece of $hit
its a fokkin childish piece of $hit

[JOLLY1]

Speaking of childish. We have a winner!

[makingdamage]

I really like GTA but this time I´m really worried that the limitations of the dvd-disc will make this a not so good game as it could be. I´m mean, Rockstar said that they used the dvd-disc to the fullest when they did san andreas. I just hope they really take advantage of the bluray-disc and make a big AND beautiful game...

[Boink]

dvd will not be a factor in how good this game can be.

pls don't buy into sony's size = better games BS.

[RAM MAGNUMS]

Only xbox can do this game properly. Its great to see a russian in new york. I live in new york and when i saw the rollercoaster ride I knew it was coney island! then I saw the brownstones I knew it brooklyn. TIMES SQUARE!!! oh my god and cant wait to crusie thru there and get some hits done. This is going to be a cult classic the first next gen GTA! Xbox versions are going to be the best graphics ever and everyone knows you can get anywhere in a hour from the city. Brooklyn, bronx, queens, staten island and money makin manhattan.

[Armyless]

The GTA series is not the least bit famous for it's "graphics", even though the trailer is pretty damn impressive.

I think we're all commenting here because we're fans of the game, not because we're fans of the particular console the game plays in.

Games first, and Rockstar sets the standard in this genre... not Microsoft or Sony.

"69.1 - lol

Excalty, i could make a game which is 50mb in size and it could be a hell of alot better than your 16GB pile of cr@p. Anyways, there are a few more months to go until we all get to play the final version of the game.

[truebego]

don't be stupid @zonetrooper5 your post like SPAM too me

[Halonator]

just like a guy to thnk size doesn't matter. just cause everyone tell you it doesn't, i still does.anyway,the first time i played gta was on a friends ps2 and eventually i bought the double pack on the xbox with gta 3 and vice city.
this game isn't really about the graphics, its about the gameplay, and and good missions. I think for this game both consoles are good, but it may be different for the next.
i think unless MS lets us play hd games, we will run into a size issue. GTA is getting bigger and bigger, and every compression means cutting corners and by the time next one is here it should me so big that it requires more space...at least 14-18gigs....which the xbox would be ok with if they just let use use the hd dvd for more then just movies.
so i definitly see a size issue. to say that 9 gigs is more then enpough forever is just being stupid or on MS payroll.

[PSWii60]

Do you think they'll port it to the atari 2600, maybe with slightly upgraded graphics. I hope so

[Rasputin2011]

Looking at the game did not "WOW" me but I will wait untill I put in some actually gameplay before stating if it is a Smash or Trash....and regarding the main character being a "Towelhead" is really a fukin dumb @$$ comment because 1) it's just a game 2) some people probably did some belly aching about being a "Black" man in San Andreas...so I think Rockstar should give a Racical selection for your character like they did in the first GTA so If one wants to be a "Black" male or a fat "White" male or whatever they can just choose so and then move the fuk on with the game.

[Halonator]

that type of sh!t makes the rest of us look ignorant as well

[bloop]

Gotta admit it didnt blow me away the first time, but after a few more viewings im getting excited. GTA was never renowned for having incredible graphics so i dont know why everyone is dissing the visuals, especially when you have to take to consideration of how big Liberty City will be in this one. Plus, GTA was always about the gameplay. And as for everyone going on about towelheads, he sounds Russian to me :/ Roll on October, cant wait.

[Icryo]

Gamers and Fanboys are SOOOO quick to jump on the attack bandwagon, but come on everyone! The graphics look sweet (and are a big improvement for a GTA game), the environments are fully detailed with nice lighting effects etc. But more importantly, we're forgetting gameplay. Until gameplay is shown, then you can't claim to be disappointed over a game where gameplay is absent. Rockstar still have 6 months to complete the game and i have great confidence in them that they will achieve their goals and blow us away!

[Halonator]

i just hope it has good missions and maybe this will be a continuing type of series. insted of three different characters in gta 3, VC, SA...it could be one character in three gta 4s. so maybe in the next one we goto russian and the third one includes the whole us and russia and we can go back and forth.

[CaliGamer]

Your post is the world's greatest proof of reincarnation; no one could get that dumb in just one lifetime. I suggest you hone your writing skills before applying borrowed glories as a mere typist.

Keep typing. Maybe, someday, you'll randomly type something semi-intelligent. You're just another Internet-addicted idiot suffering from diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the mind. A long period of non-posting would be most welcome on your part. I suggest you need Mark Twain's advice; "It is better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."

Most repair manuals are far more interesting than you, and far less turgid to read. Looking at you, Darwin would NOT be pleased to see how inefficiently evolution sometimes works. Maybe you wouldn't read like such a pathetic loser if you weren't so dense that light bends around you; if your weren't so fat that buildings bounce when you haul your Sumo Wrestler mass down the street, or if you didn't have a face like a bulldog chewing a stinging nettle while taking a constipated dump in a heat wave. Who am I kidding? You would.

In conclusion, why don't you go away and play Russian roulette with all chambers fully-loaded? JackA$$.

P.S. I have a picture of your girlfriend below for everyone to enjoy you degenerate. Get a life you D@MN TROLL.

Edit:
Rasputin, seems like you want some of what your friend with benefits Jason xg1 got. What's sad is that I was just responding to a flame he directed at me first but I don't discriminate so.
I see that you are fluent in Gibbering Moronese. Unfortunately, I'm not. You generate more waffle than the waffle making machine in a waffle factory. Try learning elementary grammar before attempting to inflict your next literary abomination on this message board.

I used to think that you were a gibbering idiot. Now, after reading your latest post, I have a much lower opinion of you. You wouldn't know Up from Down if you had three guesses. You've got a big hole in your head, now shut it. When you are at a loss for words, your loss is our gain.

Calling you dull is a gross underestimation of just how tedious you are. You have the personality of a damp sponge and the appeal of a moldy sweat sock. Any friend of yours is a lousy judge of character. Seriously, I've come across decomposing dog carcases that are less offensive to the senses than you are. Maybe you wouldn't be such a Jerk-In-The-Box if you had enough brains to find water after falling down a well; if your weren't so fat that your clothes come in three sizes: Extra Large, Jumbo, and Oh-My-God-It's-Coming-Towards- Us!, or if you didn't have a face so ugly that your mom had to get well-and-truly drunk before she could breast feed you. Nah, of course you would.

You should give it up, maybe Jason's girl will give you some play since you and him seem to be so close.

[Rasputin2011]

"You're just another Internet-addicted idiot suffering from diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the mind"

"In conclusion, why don't you go away and play Russian roulette with all chambers fully-loaded? JackA$$"....hhhrrrmmmm Seems like the first quote has alot in common with the second quote...dont ya think?

[SmokeyMcBear]

haha, oh man that was thouroughly entertaining, those were some good zingers, except something tells me those are yo momma jokes in disguise, i had snaps 1 and 2, but they should be in the double digits by now, but damn cali gamer, you got em good. And I gotta say that the pic you got, its thourougly disturbing, 10 bucks says some of the young bucks on this site are taking matters into their own hands (pun intented) upon viewing that pic, and most em probably didn't notice that extra "bulge", truly disturbing

[Rasputin2011]

This man should be on BET with all that "lyrical Domination" going on but hey and the end of the day he can always get some loving from his SHE-MAN sister that he loves posting pics of.

[CaliGamer]

Wow, you sure can't come up with your own zings. Your like a parrot, either repeating or playing off what I say, that is a new low for anyone involved in an exchange. I am surprised you didn't know that was Jason xg1's girl, I don't know how you weren't aware "she" had a bigger package than yours when she gives you a pink sock every evening. Hahahahahahaha.
Your a joke, a heroic Knight coming to Jason xp1's rescue, ill-equipped with a butter knife. Rasputin, you should let people discuss their own business, I know he is your friend with benefits but let the man fight his own battles. Now you got involved, and your all verbally beat up for your troubles.
I should be on BET, I do have a very colorful way of putting things and a sharp tongue to match, plus it would be a perfect place to deal with people like you, who for all intents and purposes should have been shot or drowned at birth to save the human gene pool from being contaminated with the Jacka$$ gene.
If you can string together a cohesive sentence or even counteract anything I have said today, I will be glad not only to send you a congratulatory personal message, but I will tell you mom tonight when I get over there to give you and extra bucket of fish heads, and let you out of the basement for some fresh air for a change. hahahahahahahaha.
You should come up for some air every once in a while when giving Jason special attention in his crotch, must be the lack of air that makes you post material that is not only an offense to the English language but to good old common sense.
Read the whole exchange before you run your mouth Putin, it could have saved you the VERBAL MASSACRE that you got involved in.
I am a fair man, and I need entertainment so I will make sure and check to see if you replied real soon. Should be fun to read, but I have a feeling that I will be disappointed in your pathetic response. So sad this had to happen but it is a good lesson, know what the hell is going on, and if it doesn't involve you mind you GD business and STFU.
As for my zings, I would like to thank SDSU for helping me hone my writing skills in literature class, also, I would like to thank my friends for giving me the tools to hold my own against any verbal adversary that challenges. I would also like to thank Jason xg1 and Rasputin for being such willing participants in helping me keep my skills sharp by providing such easy targets to practice on.
I can see it now, the clenched fist, headache, dry mouth, cold sweat. These are the symptoms of Jason xg1 and Rasputin, two TROLLS who have gotten pwned on their home turf. Someone call Bin Laden and tell him the a VERBAL JIHAD has just taken place.

On a more pertinent topic:
The GT 4 trailer was good, can't wait to see more.
What up to all TRUE gamers out there, whether you began back when Atari was king or more recently good gaming to you all.
To all the PS3 owners who want to get handled on Resistance drop me a line PSN: Toshito.

And last and certainly least Jason and Rasputin. Good stuff today guys, nice try. Hone your skills and maybe you'll get better when it comes to insults. To all their friends, read the WHOLE exchange, and you will see that I was provoked. Though I can't say I didn't enjoy what I did, it wasn't random. Good evening.......

[Rasputin2011]

I don't care if Jason "provoked" you or not I just don't see the point in stating such things as "In conclusion, why don't you go away and play Russian roulette with all chambers fully-loaded? JackA$$" or "who for all intents and purposes should have been shot or drowned at birth to save the human gene pool from being contaminated with the Jacka$$ gene"...Like why wish death on strangers because of a difference of opinions over a GAME?...I don't even know Jason for christ sakes...for that matter I don't even know you and after all the trash you have talked about me I would never state that you should have been killed or even kill yourself....I guess its called being a mature adult.
