After more than a month, the wait is over: here comes the one and unique Gran Theft Auto 4 trailer. I won't say a word to avoid any spoilers, except this: it looks frackin' awesome. Really. Rockstar's blockbuster will be available on October 16th simultaneously on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
Update: 720p version added
Update2: MP4 versions added

We saw a very beautiful car, we saw water, too. We saw that GTA finally gets rid of its close-to-cartoon-style and looks much more 'real'.
However you are right about the speed-up scene. Note that the speed-up was in the only scene where pedestrians could be seen. I'm quite sure that they still have problems with making 30 pedestrians in a street look 'real'.
1) the way a single person walks <- looked sometimes stupid in gta3
2) the way the crowd behaves <-
real pedestrians: walk / stand and talk / look at shop windows
gta3 pedestrians: walked and looked straight
EDIT: I just jused the pause-button viewing the vid. The pedestrians still walk like they shit in their pants. When they make a step they bend their knees too much and their bodies centres of gravity is unnaturally low then.

Commented on 2007-03-30 11:12:29Still looks like they are using the same character animation as before =/
Poor textures on the character still make him look cartoony.
I wont mention the obvious drop in frame rate outside the themepark, opps I just did, its forgivable still early days.
Immigrants taking over New York, possible Russian Mifia involvement, I'm still hyped to play this game.

Commented on 2007-03-30 15:17:34If this video showed our main character moving around these environments I would be a lot more impressed, but theres no way to gauge what this game is truely like otherwise
I dislike GTA games as well actually, I think they exploit a cheap form of entertainment
Perhaps it's just being an older individual who remembers playing games because they were fun without being over the top violent and extremely sexual
It is probably more appealing to the generation after me

Commented on 2007-03-30 15:41:01I'm sure they'll nail the gameplay as always.
Also in the vid; "America's next top Hooker" hahaha.
And the building called "GetALife"
Another one I noticed "I've slept with your mom" as a movie poster, heh.
Rockstar, you've done it again!

Commented on 2007-03-30 19:16:28And didn't you people see the LIGHTING? I thought the lighting looked really nice.
I'm interested, if they show some innovation game-play wise, and some very high density of actual environment and not just empty buildings;, like i heard the last gta was, I might consider buying it.
Unless of course, Mass Effect still has me interested by the time GTA IV releases, which it probably will.
Commented on 2007-03-30 19:31:07 In reply to josefI'm very glad that they're back in New York / Liberty City. I just don't like Miami and LA all that much. Graphically it looks solid, certainly a notch up from Saint's Row. And the art looks appealing, unlike Crackdown.
I think that visually The Getaway is going to be better, but we'll just have to wait and see about that.
Anyway, can't wait to see more. I'll be grabbing this one on day 1.
