First look at GTA4. (Official trailer debuts today)

[Chrono]

I know a lot of you don’t care for the GTA series, but I love them. The first trailer and screens debuted today at the GTA4 site. It is scheduled for an October 16 release date. It looks like they’re keeping that almost cartoon look for the characters. Looks really good to me.

I had fun playing GTA3 and San Andreas. I'll be there.

I like GTA. I haven't played them much but enjoyed what I did play. I liked Bully even more though. Anyway, not sure what to make of the trailer.

I'll be sure to get it when it comes out. I like the details I see in the pictures. I hope the missions are more varied.

Re: First look at GTA4.

Holy ****. A real-world locale?! And it's New York City?!

I may have to play this one.

You can see my dorm. {:3

edit: lol I don't believe it.

I'm impressed even more. Just saw the trailer.

That music? The sped-up city footage? That's a take on Philip Glass and his soundtrack for Koyaanisqatsi.

I believe it's Liberty City again, which is based off NYC.

Re: First look at GTA4.

So they are going the whole "release a bunch of games after #3 then make a #4" route. Oh well, I might have to check it out, I rather liked causing mayhem in the others. But it really just should be called Run Down Pedestrians and Shoot Cops 34.

Re: First look at GTA4.

Yes, I saw the boat: PLATYPUS and underneath it "Liberty City."

Makes sense. Like how Metropolis is New York in the Superman movies.

Are you kidding? Of course Gotham City is New York.

But look at Richard Donner's Superman and the new Superman Returns. In that universe, Metropolis is undeniably New York City.

Re: First look at GTA4.

Metropolis is New York in Superman. Gotham is New York in Batman. And Vancouver is New York in the movies.

After Mercenaries GTA seems like a flamboient big brother. I find launching tactical bunker buster bombs much more fun

GTA has it's moments with good scenery and large cities though.

According to the DCAU, neither are. I heard Metropolis in the comics was modeled after Toronto and Gotham was modeled after Chicago.

Thanks for bringing that movie up. I had watched it a couple years ago but completely forgot the name, and would likely have never remembered it. Not my cup o tea, but certainly a well filmed movie.

As for the trailer, pretty empty, but man the detail. GTA might finally not have crappy graphics, and if it keeps the gameplay, and maybe even improves on it, best GTA ever would certainly be in store for this one. Since it's supposed to be out in October, hopefully we'll get some gameplay footage soon. I'm glad it they're not going for the 'urban' theme this time. Wasn't a big fan of that, but they did pull it off pretty well.
