Grand Theft Auto IV Trailer Discussion

[Crimepunisher]

Anyone hear about this yet? Apparently Rockstar is going to unveil the Grand Theft Auto IV trailer on the 29th. Official site is up as well. Certain news reports list this as kind of old news but I just heard the news today and didn't see a mention of it in earlier posts.

Official Site: http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/

[Project-Cooper]

I saw the about 2 weeks back... but nobody posted it here, I dont think.

I check everyday, im not sure why... but I can't wait untill March 29th (I believe its 10pm GMT it will be on the website... I WANT IT NOW!!!)

[PicoDeath]

It was posted on 360m.com website the day it was known.

Can't wait though and not too long till the 29th.

[WACCOE]

As it stands - 11 days, 20 hours, 33 minutes and 3 seconds!

[PicoDeath]

Are we there yettt?

[Ryan]

Can't wait!.

[Project-Cooper]

9 days - 4 hours - 31 minutes - 45 seconds

[Kalou]

They will probably show bugger all and piss off millions, it better be worth it anyway or the ----s won't be getting a penny out of my pocket.

[Blaze Lord]

If the trailer doesn't blow you away you won't buy the game months down the line?

[PicoDeath]

They will probably show bugger all and piss off millions, it better be worth it anyway or the ----s won't be getting a penny out of my pocket.

That's bull----, you'll be buying either way, there's still months till this game is even out, you expect them to give alot away in the triler? It'll only be about 30 seconds long anyway.

[GW1488]

Well that link went straight in the favourites!

You just know that in no time it will be a best seller by a landslide.

Best book a month off work because I know it will take at least that long before I will be able to drag myself away from the controller! lol :p

p.s. has anyone seen any screenshots or artwork for it???

[WACCOE]

I don't believe there has been any.
They're keeping very quiet about it all.

[Dcontrol]

Well I've been playing GTA Vice City Stories lately and I've been bitten by the GTA bug once more. I'm anticipating this to be one of the few must have games. I'm awaiting the trailer, patiently too I may add.

[HotFish]

Well I've been playing GTA Vice City Stories lately and I've been bitten by the GTA bug once more. I'm anticipating this to be one of the few must have games. I'm awaiting the trailer, patiently too I may add.

GTA Vice City stories is a real cracker and at £14.99 in Tesco's/Online stores you carnt get a better bargin at the minute. It is up there with Vice City, the music is class and the games seems huge! - nothing negative to say about this on an old gen console!

But yeah im looking forward to seeing anything regarding GTA IV - anything as you know it will be good! - anything looking like Saints Row and i'll be a happy bunny, only the gameplay will rock.

:)

[PicoDeath]

If it's like saints row, I'll be kinda dissapointed. =/

[WACCOE]

He means looks Pico, me thinks.

[Project-Cooper]

Will any of you be waiting for the website to count down to zero?

Then watching it or you watching it the day after.

I know what ill be doing... watching it over and over again.

[PicoDeath]

Ah, so he did but i the only thing i like on saints row is the cars and explosions.

[fazyninja]

should be a good game.

[xXDuBzXx]

this game will revolutionize the 360.

[PicoDeath]

7 Days remaining boys.

[Crimepunisher]

Really just hope it goes back to a Mafia-like setting, liked San Andreas and all but playing in a street gang just felt a little odd.

[Kalou]

I wish it would go to Russia and be proper mafia style instead of this black gangsta ----, plus a game with some snow would be good it's not often you see this.

[Tomshi]

Ye it was fun but me didnt think it was real enough(No not the graphics) SA just ripped the factor right out of it. It needs to be real'er like one shot pop your dead, i'll still buy it though =D

[PicoDeath]

I wish it would go to Russia and be proper mafia style instead of this black gangsta ----, plus a game with some snow would be good it's not often you see this.

Hopefully they'll add some sort of snow in the weather system, it would just be... wow, the whole game would look kinda different and it would just be amazing.

[fazyninja]

i would love it to be set in tokyo. bright lights and tall buildings, along with the japanease mafia could be something different!

[Daniel 89]

They had the japanese mafia in GTA 3 they were called the yakuza

[WACCOE]

Yeah, them Triad ----- did my head in on it.

[fazyninja]

only a few hours left.

[Royston Vasey]

Yeah, them Triad ----- did my head in on it.

Wise words.

[PicoDeath]

Only 7 or so hours to go, no doubt the most anticipated trailer this year.

[RiLu@]

They had the japanese mafia in GTA 3 they were called the yakuza

be careful talking like that about yakuza, you can wake without hands!!

[fazyninja]

just under 2 hours left!!

i can not wait to see what it will be like, do you think you will be able to watch it off the offical site, or would i have to go to something like gametrailers.com or ign.com to see it.

[Fusion]

about 5 minutes left people!
head on over now!!!

[fazyninja]

my comp is not letting me watch it, i will just wiat until i can see it on another website.

[Fusion]

Mine isn't letting me either!
Gah talk about an anti-climax!!!

[GW1488]

Connection timed out!!! Mother Clickers

Come on Rockstar.....Expect the site to be inundated and add some extra bandwidth!!

Boo Hoo Whaaaaaaaa!!:'(

[fazyninja]

if you go to www.gametrailers.com there is another countdown, but its an our extra after the rockstar one, arh, why o why!

[Tobes]

You want to know whats really funny?

The files are not even on the server/linked yet. I got to the page where you can download the trailer in HD. Yeh the file cant be found. Error 404!

[Fusion]

[Fusion]

[fazyninja]

i thought this might happen so i kept all the major sites like gametrailers, ign etc up already, muhahaha, now i just have to wait another 40 mins.

[CHAPPERZ360]

yeah. same for me. Looks like it's the same for everyone. I reacon they're going to have some problems getting the rockstar website back up and running whilst so many people are trying to access it.

[Superbean]

[CHAPPERZ360]

/IV/trailer_splash.html

Add that to the end of rockstar games website.

I've got a video player up. No video loading as of yet though. Keep trying that link. I reacon that will be the one.

[Tobes]

Or just use this link when the video gets put on
http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/trailer/GTAIV_trailer1_640x360w.html

[Project-Cooper]

I just saw Screenshots of the trailer, I tried refreshing and checking the page out... and the site is now down.

It was TeamXbox.com

I wont ruin it for anyone, but it looks amazing.

[fazyninja]

[Fusion]

this is a joke!
all the hype for nothing. just a page cannot be displayed screen and a video that isn't playing.
we also find out we have another 7 months to wait for it! (Y) good stuff rockstar!

[Superbean]

I just saw Screenshots of the trailer, I tried refreshing and checking the page out... and the site is now down.

It was TeamXbox.com

I wont ruin it for anyone, but it looks amazing.

That link isnt working for me either?

[Project-Cooper]

[Tobes]

[Project-Cooper]

Here...

HIGHLIGHT TO SEE...

SPOLIER DONT READ OR LOOK AT THE PICS IF YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW....




























































The first trailer of Grand Theft Auto IV has finally put an end to the guessing game involving the city where the next generation installment of GTA will take place.

Well, it seems GTA IV will take place once again in New York City, the most frequently featured fictional setting in the GTA series.

The trailer shows a few well known landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, the Flatiron building, the Brooklyn Bridge and the Empire State.

END SPOLIER!




I got some pics before the TeamXbox went down again...

Im Sorry

[Project-Cooper]

King Wtf Some People Havent Watched It!

Im Sorry


I did spolier warn people.

Is that better?

[Tobes]

Yeh those images sure dont stick out...

[fazyninja]

thanks for the link tobes, but i am not sure if its in hd, anyways, those pics above are not in the trailer, b/c that trailer is set in the 50's.

[Project-Cooper]

Yeh those images sure dont stick out...

They didn't look real at first, but then i've been seeing them on lots and lots of sites.

Sorry, to anyone that did see my post before my edit... k?

[Tobes]

thanks for the link tobes, but i am not sure if its in hd, anyways, those pics above are not in the trailer, b/c that trailer is set in the 50's.
Yeh its a bit like Chinese whispers. I got shown the link and started downloading it too.

[GW1488]

50% downloaded Mwah ha ha ha.

Dang my 1Gb broadband connection :s

[Tomshi]

Looks ----ing amazing

http://www.eurogamer.net/tv_video.php?playlist_id=2512&s=l watch it on there

[Tobes]

Well that trailer sucked ass.

/Goes off to watch the halo 3 trailer.

[GW1488]

That link to download it was for LA Noire not GTA IV.....

Noooooo..... Why Why Why

Time to Check out EuroGamer.

[fazyninja]

:'( yeah, tomshi has the correct trailer (when i say correct i mean the one that has the pics in it) anyways, its not all that great looking, needs loads of polish on the graphics and there was no action so i could not see anything new or inovative, it looked very similar to liberty stories. bottom line was it worth the hassle to watch the trailer, NO, but will the end game be awesome, i fricken i hope so!!

[Superbean]

Looks ----ing amazing

http://www.eurogamer.net/tv_video.php?playlist_id=2512&s=l watch it on there

yes brilliant tomshi, that loaded np for me thx.

good trailer, cant wait for the full game. (bit dissapointing)

now time for bed, nighty night all.

[Tomshi]

No Problem Buddy

[Superbean]

I gave you some rep tomshi(Y)

[Achilles06]

360monster.com now have the movie in our grand theft auto media section go check it out no wait time.

[Tobes]

Seems we have some retarded people on the internet.

IT'S LIBERTY CITY, NOT NEW YORK :D

[JoshD182]

is that 8ball??? he has bandages on his hands???

[phatmuther]

Well that was a ----e trailer.

And Toby, its New York, unless your refering to the fact that no.3 was Lib city.

[Steve]

Toby its New York ya tard. This time they announced they aren't doing Liberty City, this time they are actually recreating New York with the five boroughs. Don't call people retarded when you haven't been paying attention.

Great this trailer was.

[Steve]

Oh and btw. Sorry for double posting but didn't the fricken Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Crystler Buidling, Grand Central Station and fricken New York City Harbor make you think that it was New York City?

[Steve]

Triple Post- Sorry tobey. It looks like its unclear whether its a close recreation or whether it is New York City or not. So we'll find out whether or not soon.

[Tomshi]

FFS Steve kk we get it.

[HotFish]

Forgot to watch it last night!...watched that Wedding Belles on C4....anywho's it's New York, though i did see a ref to Liberty City? It also looks very very nice...roll on October!

:)

[Dcontrol]

Yeah I was a little worse for wear last night so I didn't watch it then, I got up this morning and watched it. Looking good so far.

[Truplaya83]

Its Liberty City - based on New York. Looks moe like NY than it did in GTA3.

I cant wait for the game, looks awesome. 16th Oct the website says

[Tobes]

Everyone who said New York... I forgive you. Apart from Steve. He can kiss my ring. (I don't wear jewellery)

[phatmuther]

Why do you forgive us?
If that isnt New York and they're calling it Liberty City they really need to ----ing sort it out, whats the point of making it a carbon copy of NYC and naming something else? Thats right no fecking point.

[Tobes]

Hey I never said there was any point.

http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/777/777070p1.html

Jeremy Dunham, Editor in Chief, IGN PlayStation Team
"It's good to see that the location has shifted back to Liberty City"

Hilary Goldstein, Chief News and Features Editor, IGN .com
"Seeing a Liberty City revealed to look almost identical to NY (it fooled me!) with numerous identifiable landmarks, including the Chrysler Building and Grand Central Terminal gave me a bit of a charge. It's about time Rockstar gave up on pussyfooting around the idea of real places, buckled down and gave us free reign in over as close to a representation of NYC as possible. What better place to debut a true GTA adventure than in the city that never sleeps (or its closest representation)?"

[Bigcon100]

that is THE worst trailer EVER! wtf??? it's a bearded Russian guy...

[WACCOE]

http://www.360monster.com/media/0000000238/screenshots/0000000238-L-3a7acac.jpg

[Sean]

It does resemble NYC alot though Tbag, maybe they didn't call it NYC because they didn't want people running around causing chaos in NYC copying the game.

Or people flying planes into certain buildings.

I rekon Liberty City would be the safest option.

[WACCOE]

ROFL
I can't wait to fly a plane into everything going on the game.
w00t

[PicoDeath]

ROFL

w00t

Loved flying planes in the last series, can't wait for this game and you know what the time is? It's time to pull out the old ones.

[Fusion]

Finally Rockstar are making the game pretty. It's always looked like it was running on an N64(not that thers anything wrong with N64's it's just the graphics look old and outdated now).
Nice looking, sounds good. roll on release!!

[Outlaw]

http://www.360monster.com/media/0000000238/screenshots/0000000238-L-3a7acac.jpg

Haha lol that owned anybody who said Tob3z was wrong

[phatmuther]

---- me, what is the point.

[Uriel Septim]

Well from what i seen it looks a lot like New York, and the fact the liberty statue is in the trailer

[Blaze Lord]

Wait. Have none of you ever played GTA1? Of course Liberty City is NYC. It's right there on the map.

[phatmuther]

Yes, I have. Why not call it New ----ing York?

[HotFish]

Yes, I have. Why not call it New ----ing York?

Yep i know what you mean but its like all GTA games and the citys they are made from. Vice City - Miami, San Fierro - San Franisco, Las Ventruas - Las Vegas etc etc. Its prob how they can get away with a guy running around a famous cited landscape running over people whilst listening to Rage Against The Machine's ''Killing in the name of''.

I just want my hands on this game now...(Y)

:)

[Bigcon100]

statue of LIBERTY it just outside of New York. SO LIBERTY city would make sense for NYC. or manhatten...

[WACCOE]

Well.
Liberty City. Statue of Liberty.
Geddit?

[Bigcon100]

yep. but obviously some dont!

[Steve]

It's called ----ing bull----. I wanted NYC, not liberty city. I wanted the actual city with people calling it New York City, with a Yankee Stadium in the bronx, and an Empire State Building in midtown. Not replicas with different names; its fun the first four games but now I want a real city in a real world.

-------s.

Did love the trialer until all this liberty city garbage ...except why do I want to be a soviet -----?

[Killer 57]

I'd take a communist over a native New Yorker any day of the week.

[phatmuther]

Aww, I wanted a hillbilly yokel redneck :(

[Bigcon100]

mabye the games involves the russinan mafia :/

[Truplaya83]

They should have made a choice of four or five characters, then all the people you meet treat you different because of your race/look/personality. Would have made the game replayable loads, but we can always dream.

[rydo-uk]

Bet ya in GTA V you will be a woman.

[Jimex]

WTF? Just because the city is named something other than the real name you think its crap? Since when have R* named the game's city after the real name (apart from London)? Thats such a stupid arguement, its a game my friend, you wanna go run around NYC, get a feckin plane. If R* make the world fun to run around and complete missions on, they can call it whatever the hell they want in my book.

[WACCOE]

He doesn't need a plane to go to NYC in real life. ;]

[Jimex]

He doesn't need a plane to go to NYC in real life. ;]

All the more stupid that he actually lives there. I think really he just wanted to try and find his house in GTA :P

[Soundworks]

GTA4 is one of the three main games that has convinced me to get an X360. I'm really not bothered about the location, like many have already said, Rockstar will make it as fun as possible. I can't wait to feel fully immersed in a next generation GTA city!

[Nially]

Hopefully is is a lot better than the 'stories' versions, they were pretty poor.

[Bigcon100]

thye were made for psp, and then flogged to stuid people/gtaddicts with a ps2! my point is, that they were not proper games.

[JoshD182]

They should have made a choice of four or five characters,

how do you know we wont have a choice? this could be just the first of a few trailers, from different characters perspectives, but i agree, we can dream!!!

[Dcontrol]

thye were made for psp, and then flogged to stuid people/gtaddicts with a ps2! my point is, that they were not proper games.

I had it for the Psp and I bought VC stories for the PS2. They weren't proper games? they were more like spin offs granted but I don't class myself as stupid or an addict just for buying a game. People buy the GTA series as they like the games style of play.

[Project-Cooper]

Rockstar said, GTA IV wont be like we expect it will turn out... nothing like the other games.

They also said, to check out Game Informer when it hits shops April 18th (I dont know if England get GI... :().

[Jimex]

It is being released with added, almost episodic, content. So its more than probable that different episodes may have different playable characters.
Plus, is it 100% confirmed by R* that we play as the guy in the trailer? Personally i think R* put that guy in the trailer to make people think we play as him, but on release everyone is amazed to find out he's just a character u do missions for.

[Blaze Lord]

Dunno about more than probable. You really think episodic means "start over fresh for these new, isolated missions"?

[Griffin54]

it looks pretty sweet but i wonder if your going to be able to change cloths and apperance like in saints row and san andres

[JoshD182]

it looks pretty sweet but i wonder if your going to be able to change cloths and apperance like in saints row and san andres

I would have thought so yes..

[WACCOE]

Probably.
That way they can charge you for new ones.

you bought teh same gam for psp + ps2? why? i had it on psp, it was great for a psp game, but for a ps2 game it was below par (from a 20 min sesh at a mates).
Rockstar said, GTA IV wont be like we expect it will turn out... nothing like the other games.

They also said, to check out Game Informer when it hits shops April 18th (I dont know if England get GI... :().
and GI is.... a website?

there better be DLC :@. good idea bout the mission(Y)
I would have thought so yes..
samo
Probably.
That way they can charge you for new ones.
they wont charge you for clother... they're not EA. better content, yes, but surely not clothes?

[phatmuther]

and GI is.... a website?


Read the sentence you quoted again.

[WACCOE]

It's a magazine, shag.

[Bigcon100]

ah, "When it hits shops".

[Griffin54]

does any body think that this game will make it at blockbuster and other retalers because of its content... because san andres did and that sucked

[Blaze Lord]

Will make it?

[Project-Cooper]

Ah, well... i've checked WHSmith and stuff... and couldn't find it. So it looks like we dont get Game Informer here.

...but we get OPM (Offical Playstation Magazine), and supposedly when its realesed on May 2nd... its got exclusive content in it on GTA IV.

Im sure we have some kind American here, that will buy GI, and scan some images in for us... :P

[Bigcon100]

there are quite a few. i think blaze buys game mags (either that or he hates them, there was a thread on mags a while ago...)
