GTA IV trailer on EGTV now! News
Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
Rockstar has released the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV, and you can watch it now on Eurogamer TV.
It will be set in New York and the main character appears to be of eastern European origin, Russian perhaps, sporting a heavy frown and suitable stubble.
"Life is complicated," he says, walking over the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan. "Perhaps here things will be different."
Lots of impressive lighting is on show in the trailer, especially the movement of the sun through the buildings, and it appears as though lots of civilians will occupy the screen with you, in the busy Times Square area – or anywhere in Manhattan for that matter.
Special things to look out for, the "Get a Life" sign on top of one skyscraper.
From this evidence it seems Rockstar has a lot of game behind those locked doors, showing what is almost certainly game footage rather than pre-rendered cinematics.
Grand Theft Auto IV is due for release on PS3 and Xbox 360 in October.
Yes, we're excited. Even though we promised ourselves we wouldn't be.

Please show us some montage gameplay footage, even if it's only 10 seconds worth. Pre-rendered cut scenes (or even cut scenes using in-game engine) don't really tell me anything about the game.

What planet do you come from where writers get paid overtime? |

Shouldn't be much of a challenge. |

With every other series I would agree with that statement. With GTA though, they tend to show you the tone, humour and setting of the game. Which in my opinion is so much more important than sandbox gaming. |

WHAT!? The unveling of a GTA *TRAILER* in a few hours is headline news? That's a little unfair...

I think it'll be set in modern times, on a crappy council estate. You play a kid in a hoody and have to earn 'respek' by selling weed to other children, happy-slapping other children, having sex with other children and stabbing other children.
You also get a choice of 100 happenin' hip-hop choons to play through your character's mobile phone - there's even an option to really turn up the volume to annoyingly high level when you're on a buss, which earns even more respek from your idiot mates giggling on the back seats. Oooh, I can't wait! It'll make your proud to be a gamer. |
