Ok watched the trailer

Definitely set in Liberty City (New York). Graphics look amazing but then most graphics do. Main character seems to be guy who's just after after moving to America. He seems to be Eastern European or Russian judging by his accent. No real hints about gameplay. Just a teaser trailer really

Having watched it a few times now, I must say I can't really see anything to be excited about... Yeah the graphics are nice but until we start to hear about what we will actually be able to do in the game, thats all the hype will be set around. And please god no eating system this time...

These are pretty much the only games I play so it better be good! Graphics do look tasty but not much else to go on from the trailer as mentioned.

Yay NYC

LookingFor

The graphics leave me underwhelmed. Some nice lighting, but otherwise this isn't take the leap I had hoped for.

Gameplay wise, obviously they give us nothing to judge by. But I'm worried that some 'last gen' characteristics are already making a return - like streets that just aren't busy enough for a city like this. Parts of those scenes just lacked business, a pet peeve of mine with the previous GTA games. I really thought they'd sort that out.

Uff. I want to see more if only so I can restore some excitement, because this leaves me a bit disappointed if I'm honest

(I do like the idea of a Russian protagonist, though)

Call Me Jimmy

it's painfully obvious they are playing it safe. They know if they give us the same thing with updated graphics it will possible be one of the biggest selling games ever.

Royale with Cheese

Russians - cool
Liberty city - meh

I'm just hoping it's not all set in Liberty City, there should be other cities and countryside like in San Andreas. One big city the size of San Andreas or bigger would get very boring. A city the size of Liberty City in GTA 3 would get even more boring.

Sinfonia

Think there'll be another Vice City and San Andreas after this one then?

Was underwhelmed by the trailer tbh, although it was pretty short, so the game could be great

Alter-Ego

Not the biggest liberty city fan but it does look pretty.

They'll have to come up with something good, gameplay wise.

Black_Venom

That means it is out

*searches through thread for link

Black_Venom

Looks awsome tbh..

Holsten

Wow... looks incredible... always a fan of Liberty City.

DarthWraak

oh. my. ****ing. god.

Reptileboy

I cannot believe some of the negative vibes I'm hearing from some of the people who claim to be GTA fans on the web right now.

I've been blown away by the trailer. GTA has never been the best looking game on the street, and likely by the time GTA4 arrives, the graphics will have faded in their elegance. But the thing that makes GTA so great is the gameplay.

I cannot wait for this game to come. And the trailer was done beautifully.

Best start saving for a console to play it on.

I know it was already posted, but mine doesn't have a silly watermark...

Pacifico

Wow that looks ****ing class!!

philologos

That looks brilliant. Playing as a russian mobster I take it too. Wasn't expecting Liberty City but it's welcome. The graphical overhaul is brilliant, we'll have to wait and see for features but it has given a lot of information so far.

tba

Draw distances look great, I hope there is no magic appearing cars this time around.

philologos

We can only wait and see

The scale of the city seems to be a hell of a lot bigger than LC in GTA3, so I'd say chances are there's only the one large city...
Time will tell though...

Anyone else think the trailer seemed alot darker than what we usually get from GTA, but trailers from previous GTA's set more of a scene. I am thinking particularly about the trailer for san andreas with welcome to the jungle blarrin.

JohnK

Its not the gangster crap . Woohoo!

Basq

Bah.. impressed enough with the trailer but we needs some in-game footage!

JohnK

See this link http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/13134/And-Grand-Theft-Auto-IV-Takes-Place-In-UPDATE-/ (orig posted by ciano1)

"We would like to let the trailer speak for itself. However, we can confirm that all footage in the trailer "Things Will Be Different" was captured directly from 720p gameplay running real-time in our RAGE engine on a next-gen gaming console."

tba

It does seem a bit darker, I suppose that Rockstar have realised that their core market are a bit more grown up now. That music rocks.

projectmayhem

impressed with it alright. i like the new character. it'll hopefully bring a new story to fold... city itself looks stunning. october, here we come!

I agree with what was said earlier about cant believe "true" gta fans slating the trailer. It was amazing, Planetgta.com have a great breakdown of the trailer. And it is ingame footage. Very impressive, very very impressive.

NunianVonFuch

Graphics look good all right but I'd expect nothing less. Frankly unless they improve the gameplay, which has long gone stale by now (GTA 3 Brilliant! Give me more! Vice City awesome music - copters! San Andreas, meh same again? I know all these songs.) I'll be giving it a pass.

They need to improve the gunplay, thats what let the rest of the game down. Take either Max Payne or Gears of War for example, use the slo-mo dives or cover situations or both and elevate GTA to the ultimate in freeform shooting.

The driving was fine in the last, just a bit tiring. Everyone likes jumps also use physics to knock things down+into path of cops (NFS). It'd be nice if even tho u can't go into every building through the door you can crash through the window of the shop. They could limit it with you getting stuck on the display at the front so u cant see the rest of the shop.

I assume they'll give you more ways to damage the cars but also maybe go the burnout route and allow you to ram people off the road/flip cars etc.

Its a lot to ask but if they do any of these things it'd be a much better game and keep it fresh (by copying others!) imo

Stephen

Awesome. I spotted the following real-life New York City landmarks in the trailer:

MetLife (PanAm) building - signposted “GetALife” in the trailer
Chrysler building
Brooklyn bridge
Empire State building
Flatiron building
Statue of Liberty
Staten Island ferry terminal
Coney Island amusements
St Patrick’s Cathedral
Times Square

I feel somewhat glad i bought an xbox 360 now. It has been gathering dust lately! This and Burnout 5 ftw.

You mean when it says "Liberteen" on the building.

Right so for a next gen it looks ****, its a another re hash of a over killed city 5 times its been used), There is still barely any ppl and cars on screen in the screen shots (isnt this meant to be New york?) and Rockstar can go die if they think i am buying it. FFS can they not come up or use a different city. Didnt they see LCS and VCS were flops, Stop making crappy games Actually no ppl need to stop buying these crappy games!

Oman

unless liberty city has a statue of liberty then its new york also there was a building that looked something like the empire state

faceman

Just a teaser, nothin to be excited about yet. Some of graphics was dodge in parts. (The car didnt look like it was on the road in one part)

Im sure it wont be the same liberty city map from the first one, it better be bigger than SA!

Plug

Some dirty romaian selling roses.....great:(

Smurfpiss

statue of liberty.
Chrysler building.
Metlife building.
Flat iron building
Times square
Grand Central
and st patricks cathedral.

Looks like New York to me.
I know liberty city is based on NY but let's call a spade a spade when they have that many landmarks. So bsaically New york with liberty city as its name. wonder how faithful it'll be to its layout.
Not all that excited tho..

Pedro Monscooch

I can't think of a better place to set it tbh. I'm just wondering when it's meant to be set? If it's nineties, the twin towers are bound to be there. GTA games have always let you control planes so that could start yet another media storm but might explain the city name change.

This is early stuff so the final graphics and physics are going to be amazing. It's just over 6 months to go and I can't wait to get it on launch.

Stephen

Any word on a PC version yet? I know it'll inevitably be released later than the console ones but are they even doing one this time?

Either way i'll be picking it up for 360 on launch day

With Vice City and San Andreas I did this for the PS2 versions and then traded them for the PC one when it was available.

JohnK

If they dont do a PC version then I'll never play it. I played SA on a PS2 and I've never been so disapointed in a game or console in my life.

have you no hands or something? Thats a bit melodramatic.

shortys94

kinda surprised its set in new york, i know its ahwile since 9/11 but the idea of multiplayer madness IE flying planes at each other or maybe into the empire state seems a bit errr i dont know
