3 Hours Until the Trailer for GTAIV: Updated with NEW trailer info

[exitspeed]

Grand Theft Auto IV (http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/)

3 Hours and counting.

I'm really excited to see what it's gonna look like. The other big question is whether it's going to be a MMORG or just have separate online games. I'm hoping for the latter. I don't really wanna play and MMORG style game.

This is the first I've heard of it?! I'm guessing it's going to be exclusive for PS3 initially eh?

NOPE. Comes out for 360 AND PS3 the same day. Ouch for Sony.

Oh cool, I don't have eithier of them. BUT it is an incentive to finally break down and go get one or the other!!

[Yuri]

I'm really happy that Sony is learning that it can't treat it's customers like crap.

That's why I got a 360...

I have no love for the PS3 after everything that's happened.
Can't wait for GTAIV, I'm with Mel on the whole "please don't let this be mmporgy whatever."

[exitspeed]

^
Sony hasn't exactly learned yet. They lost the exclusivity of GTA series because they literally can't afford to keep it. The budget for a game like this is so great now that Rockstar NEEDS to sell it on multi-platforms to make it profitable. So it's either Sony forks over an insane amount of money to keep it exclusive for 6 months or they forfeit it. They forfeited.

Metal Gear MAY be in the same boat.

And Final Fantasy is also.

Sorry Sony.

2 hours to go!

[kdashy]

1 hour, I havent heard anything about this til now.

[ManoNegra]

I have no love for the PS3 after everything that's happened.


lol... used to hear the same shit about XBox when it first launched.

[SNC240SX]

[exitspeed]

I'm looking forward to going to the top of a skyscraper and jumping off and pulling out the parachute. One of my favorite things to do in San Andreas.

[Havok]

It's alot funner when you DON'T open your parachute.

[exitspeed]

It's alot funner when you DON'T open your parachute.

Yea that's fun too.

I hope they fix the controls in this one. Make'em nice and crisp. Us smurf members need to form a gang online when it comes out.

how the hell would you play online? thats the stupidest thing i've ever heard...

[Matej]

That song is siiiiiiiiiiccccckkkkkkkk.

I needz to find it, ASAP.
The song is Arm In Arm by The Boggs.


how the hell would you play online? thats the stupidest thing i've ever heard...
Big online city, thousands of players, most pedestrians are real people, start gangs with friends, parachute on people, jump out at strangers from behind corners, buy homes, drive around, total mayhem, better than real life.

They would have to make it harder to get a car, you'd have to save up money to buy one or something, otherwise everyone would just drive around in cars like crazy, and there'd be a few other things like that to work out, but I'm sure Rockstar Games would take care of everything. I've always dreamt about an online GTA world.

Here's a good article with a few GTA secrets and in which Sam Houser, the President of Rockstar Games, actually hints that they want to make an online GTA game in the future.

[Z_Spool]

well they have patches for PC versions so you can play online. They have gangs and everything. I've contemplated it for a while, but now that I can't find my SA I might just buy it for pc and get the online going. :)

[exitspeed]

Quick update:

New trailer comes out tomorrow at noon.

Oh my bad. But yea it comes out today at noon...

[BustedS13]

NOPE. Comes out for 360 AND PS3 the same day. Ouch for Sony.

yeah, i reserved it for 360 in june. hope i can find that reciept in a few months.

....and as for the sony bashers in this thread: the ps3 sold about as many units in its first year as the 360, and it's picking up major steam. in the near future, its visuals will rape the 360.

of course, xbox live is still the best thing ever, and i'll be enjoying my pswiisixty combo once the new gran turismo rolls out.

[BustedS13]

Y'all are freakin out over a trailer

I can't imagine when it really comes out...

i'll be calling in sick for at least two days.

It's Out Now! And It's Hot!

Interview on IGN:


IGN: Having just seen the trailer, is there any more insight you can provide on the story of GTA IV?

Rockstar Games: Obviously this story has a heavy focus on Niko and his relationship to his cousin, Roman. Without giving away too many details, it's the dynamics of that relationship and the motivations and mistakes, past and present, that each keep hidden from the other, that drive the narrative for most of the game. Their story is about the immigrant experience of two different personality types - those looking to the future and those running away from the past. We don't like to give away too many details because we want people to experience the story the way it was intended - by playing the game and getting sucked into the game world.



Click through to our video gallery to download or watch the new trailer.


IGN: Is there anything in the trailer that people might overlook?

Rockstar: The level of detail - look at the wheels of the motor bikes, the details in the faces and light reflected in the river. This same level of details exists throughout the game - not just in terms of art, but also mission design, animation, physics, narrative, audio, AI and world atmosphere. Creating a detailed but still consistent and believable game world has always been one of our aims with any Grand Theft Auto, and for Grand Theft Auto IV it has led to an amazing amount of life and detail in every aspect of the production.

IGN: The stories in the past three GTA games all had their own feel (and were inspired by different eras). What is the vibe of the new story? Is it comparable to a popular movie or era?

Rockstar: The game is set today, so we wanted a story, world and set of characters that felt very contemporary. We don't feel the story is comparable to any particular movie. For one thing it is obviously much broader in scope than a movie script, as the game is far longer than any movie, and for another, we felt that the power of the new hardware gave us the freedom to tell stories in a more detailed and engaging way, so we no longer need to take prompts from movies and instead could take inspiration from the world itself. The game is very much inspired by the realities of living in New York in particular, and the world in general, right now. The story is long, more like a TV series or epic novel than one movie and has several major twists and turns in it.

IGN: Is there anything you can tell us about any of the locations in the trailer? I've noticed we see quite a bit of the interiors, are we going to be able to explore those?

Rockstar: Yes, the Liberty City that Niko will experience has a lot of interiors, and yes you can explore them in lots of different ways... Obviously, it depends on the location as to what happens there and what you can do or enjoy there.


Niko is always the last man standing.
IGN: About midway through the trailer something has Roman scared. Any hints you can give about what has Roman so shook up?

Rockstar: Roman is more of a lover than a fighter and he's made some very nasty people very angry. He's right to be frightened. We have tried to give all of the characters their own motivations, ambitions and needs, so that the narrative develops naturalistically as a result of the interplay of its characters.

IGN: Is the extended hand-to-hand combat sequence a sign of things to come?

Rockstar: We have worked incredibly hard to develop the hand to hand combat - as we have all of the key mechanics of the game - so the fighting in the game feels very powerful. Certainly in the first section of the game when Niko is a dirt poor immigrant scrabbling around to pay off debts, he has to use his fists a lot. Luckily, he's pretty adept at it.

IGN: You guys have gone with another obscure track for this trailer. Is there a reason for this? What is the song in the trailer?

Rockstar: The track is called King Ring by Serjoga. He's the most popular rap artist in Russia by far, and we chose it partly because we felt it captured the spirit of the game - Russian dance rap maybe epitomizes the melting pot mentality of Liberty City - but mostly because we felt the track gave the trailer a unique feeling and energy. The soundtrack (and the radio it is played on) has been expanded and developed for Grand Theft Auto's high-definition debut.

IGN: Thanks for your time.

[Bobafreak]

awww jigga! jigga! yeah preview 3 was crazy. Im really looking forward to this. man the release is so far away.

[Z33dori]

Wow those new features sound so sick. That Mafia Work mission should be great. Hope they don't fuck it up :p

I can't wait until the 2008 hits start getting released...
GTA 4
Soul Calibur 4
Gran Turismo 5
Metal Gear Solid 4
Street Fighter HD Remix and SF4

There is at least $300 gone haha... oh well

[BustedS13]

god... i can't wait. i need to get all the COD4 out of me while i can, because once that's out... done deal

[exitspeed]

Hope they don't fuck it up :p

l

When is the last time they fucked up a GTA game?...

[BustedS13]

When is the last time they fucked up a GTA game?...

liberty city stories and vice city stories were kinda junk, but... still better than most games

[exitspeed]

liberty city stories and vice city stories were kinda junk, but... still better than most games

That's cause they weren't really 'new' games. Read up on NaturalMotion's Euphoria Technology and you'll realize how awesome this game is going to be.

[BustedS13]

i've had it reserved for almost a year, i'm up on how awesome it's going to be. it's so awesome it might kill me.

[HyperTek]

glad im gettin a ps3 for my bday

[Grendel]

When is the last time they fucked up a GTA game?...

I'm just jaded :p Assassins Creed was so hyped, then it came out and it was just decent at best.

But yea rockstar hasn't let me down yet :)

[playthe_part]

trailer 4 is out on the gta 4 website.

http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/#?page=videos&content=trailer4

looks pretty cool, good thing i pre-ordered it.

[fliprayzin240sx]

So question now is, what platform are everybody gonna be buying this game in???

PS3 or 360?!?!

Im torn cuz i got both...but PS3s been getting shafted. Most of the games they get run on a slower frame rate than the 360. 60 fps for the 360 and 30/40 for the PS3. No clue why thats been the trend the last year for multi platform games...

[theronin]

ill get it on my 360

[Grendel]

I have both too but I'm picking it up on 360. #1 reason is DLC, I heard the 360 is going to be the only one getting downloadable content (not sure if that is true though) #2 reason is achievements :p I'm such a whore haha

[playthe_part]

well i doubt gta4 would be capable of running 60fps because of everything going on, i would give it 30-40fps tops, 60 is generally used for first person shooters like call of duty. i think more people will get it for 360 because of the exclusive download content, and i think sony needs to step up to the plate and start getting exclusive content as well, because if they keep up what they are doing now there is no way they will win the console war. as for me i have ps3, so that is what i am getting it for, i don't really mind about about the dlc, i just want to play online.

all i know is i want to steal the pagani/lamborghini mix car in that video. there was also a leak of the map that is floating around the internet with images of the controls for ps3 as well.

[exitspeed]

Wow that trailer looks awesome. Can't wait til the end of next month. Luckily I have a busy month ahead of me to keep my mind off the wait.

[LeftNutOfGowd]

This is the only thread I found on Grand Theft Auto IV so I'm going to use it lol


Has anyone download the new context for it a lot of sites say its really goes I'm thinking about getting it but there goes 1.3 gig of HD and 1600 points
