So come on who's going to say it first? It's all just pre renders right? The game can't be as good as that....blah blah blah.

no way is it pre renders, GTA has always been all in game so why would they change. If it wasnt in game it would look much better than, you can tell by the character and the trees.

Ok, now that i've calmed down.

Really looking forward to it. The city really seems alive and rockstar did want us to notice the real-time day-night cycle, etc. The music, and the russian dood talking like he wanted to redeem himself, really made me enthusiastic ;_; I can sense a nice story :D

Looks HUGE but structured. The graphics aren't bad either.

Time to start saving up those pennies / days off work.

Oh, and is it me or does 'the guy' look like Lucas Kane from Fahrenheit? Rockstar could have a law suit over unlockable 'iced tea' content on their hands (waits for people to get it.....)

Seemingly theyve redone the city of GTA 3, but bigger and boosted the graphics. Nothing known about gameplay yet...

Its blatantly not pre-rendered. Looks promising, lets hope it can meet expectations.

You know it's not the same team doing this right? The names have changed, only the company remains the same. So this could indeed be pre-rendered.

Why would it be a render? Looks quite nice, but doesn't look as good as the new engine Frostbite engine or UE3 or Avalanches engine.

As such I am 100% positive it is not a render. It Looks VERY nice for a GTA game which lets be honest have never been visually cutting edge.

Yea sorry I watched the low quality one first. It's not pre-render it's simply scenery stuff with shaders. The main character looks stupidly blocky though and animation is sub Saint's row. In fact I hate to say it but, this doesn't look much better than saints row at all.

I think this is one that will sell on the GTA name rather than any gameplay merits. Let's predict shall we. I bet your guy ends up killing people, smuggling people, selling people oh and being forced to work his way up the russian mafia while buying safe houses and stealing cars. You get to kill cops with impunity and hmmm I know! You can haul anyone out of their car and drive around until you get really bored.

If I'm even half right, this is a series that simply needs to die.

Well I will wait to see what how "Uniquely different" gameplay will be in GTA4. Personally I wanted a different setting. Why NEW YORK again?

Is this the patch that adds the fun?

Really....that's it?

If they're not going to do anything special, remind me why I shouldn't stick to Crackdown?

Am I the only one, who senses, that there may be a change in the mood of the game? Like it's gonna be something a bit darker, than the previous GTA games?..

I'd comment if I could actually find a source of the video that works.

And lo the video suddenly works...

Looks nice, but as said before, this will need a massive gameplay revamp of Resi Evil 4 magnitudes to make me excited. Hopefully the new engine will allow realms of creativity and variety we haven't had for a while in GTA games.

not much that's actually got that WOW!! factor about it though to be totally honest, i think the setting looks more interesting and the character for a change appears to be sum1 who holds a natural edge about him but if they don't radically change the gameplay or mission structure, then this isn't going to set the world alight come release i feel :(

Certainly looks interesting, just not groundbreaking. It gives me the same kinda feeling Fable 2 does though, that it actually might deliver.

Looks great. Will be interesting to see what they do with gameplay. Hopefully this will mark the start of some actual assets and information on the game.

Strange that no one has made any comments on how the trailer is either a tribute or a ripoff (depends how you see it ;) of one of the greatest movies ever made! Koyanisquatsi and of course the use of Philip Glass music...

couldn't be more rockstar, like the trailer for table tennis using minimal electro used by Richie Hawtin.

Anyone noticed how there isn't really that many people around in this, and that they have used time lapse effect to try to make it look like there is loads of people in one section.

While very clever in manipulation of imagery I hope it is not an indication of the whole place being a bit spartan after seeing Dead Rising throwing loads of bodies around the screen so to speak.

Dug the Koyaanisqatsi nod. Glad they did something different with the trailer (more footage of some dude beating on cops with a baseball bat *yawn*.)

I was excited to see it first time but on reflection am I excited at the trailer itself or do I just want GTA to have halfway decent graphics?

i.e. There is a mod being made at the moment where some guys are rebuilding Half Life from the textures up in Source (not like the pointless Half Life:Source conversion). It looks cool but I'm really just excited because I'll be replaying HL in nicer graphics. It's still the same game I've been through a few times already.

If this was a brand new license you had never heard of would you be as impressed?

Bit of an assumption I know to assume it will be all the same gameplay style but lets face it, if it ain't bro.... sorry, if it still sells, why change it?

Still I like the GTA way of things and I'll likely be a buyer. Nice to have a Russian (or eastern europe?) feel to things.

I've been getting a bit cynical over the series in the last few years, but even just looking at this short trailer has got me mildly excited. I'm sure R* North will do it again and pull another corker out of the hat.

Why set in NYC though? I like the made-up GTA cities. Why not set it in Manhunt's Carcer City (or is it Carson?) and make it just like New York?!
