Rockstar have ALWAYS shown gameplay footage or screenshots of a GTA game.

There, fixed.

Best trailer so far, look at the reflections on the chopper, and the...... Everything. Even the music is awesome. I know its wierd as fuck, but DAMN it fits well! Hope that song is in the reggae radio channel ingame, would give me 1 reason to listen to it :)

Rockstar has NEVER shown gameplay footage or screenshots of a GTA game. I don't see a reason to be surprised.

Even if that were the case (which it isn't), it's not an excuse - show us what the game actually looks like, not just cutscenes!

What were you guys expecting the game to look like? Gears of War? Your in a city, there are lots of cars, pedestrians, stuff being blown up, buildings etc and this is the reason GTA has never been known for it's graphics, this part is always sacrificed for the good of the gameplay which is what matters and why millions of people love the games so much, that said i don't think the graphics look bad at all, but even if they did i couldn't give two hoots.

san andreas, bad? 14million people dissagree...lol

Not everyone who bought the game was perfectly satisfied with it. Oh well. I guess anyone is expected to have his own taste and preferences.

Holy Shit! Look @ these jaggies!!!

I bet it will come-out that this game is running 640p or less. No game should have these kind of jaggiez with AA enabled, unless it's on PS3. Just makes no sense.

God I'm happy about my standards for graphics. I can't even remember the last time they've been a problem for me on any format.

My reaction to this is that the characters are well animated and realised and that I still regard Rockstar THE developers when it comes to cinematic vibes. That's not just because the trailer reads like a movie trailer, but because they so casually throw themes around that other games are too busy hand picking to appeal to the widest possible audience.

Vice City was an awesomely bold move, to just blast people with the 80s motif and edgy contemporary-in-hindsight humour, and San Andreas cut through the GANGSTAH crap stream with something effortlessly clever, surprisingly ungratuitous and genuinely absorbing.

I think the games have been varying degrees of rubbish if broken down and looked at as separate mechanics, but much like Jonathan Richman's less-than-beautiful singing voice doesn't hurt his charming and heartfelt songs, likewise I reckon GTA always somehow come out better than the sum of their parts.

Of course, if the parts were better that wouldn't hurt.

But yeah, this trailer is my favourite since theeee... um.. second trailer I think it was. And I actually think that this GTA looks to be the most interesting so far. :O

If you look at the date the pics/videos were posted and then look at the release of the games, you will see they are pre-release ingame.

clearly that isnt the case. their simply cinematic angles of in-game scenes. yes a lot of it is cut-scenes. but there is a lot of in-game elements too. they've just unlocked the camera and placed it somewhere else for cinematic effect. the guy falling down the stairs is clearly an in-game scene. as is most if not all of the car sections.

What I'd like to see what it looks like when actually playing the game.

Trailers are often too quick and flashy to really get a proper look at the game. Infact, more than often footage in the form of a trailer looks underwhelming compared to actual gameplay footage mainly due to awkward camera angles.

Also, I'd like to see what the framerate's like when actually playing the game. Trailers can have resources like A.I and such disabled, allowing better performance. Atleast, I assume that's how it works but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

i dont think thats the case with GTA4 trailers. i mean, they've ALL had framerate hickups, primerily from the fact they're using angles that you otherwise wouldnt ever see.

i think it looks awesome!!!!

but synce said the only thing he liked about the game was the trailers, and what my reply was supost to mean was 'how can you know its the only bit you like about the game if the trailers are the only thing you have to go by until you play it for yourself'

dont get me wrong, i think the trailer was amazing and im really excited for this game.

Okay.. i forgive you :) Gratz :) I like you, you arent bitchy. Come lets hug.
(no, im not my avatar, im a hairy guy making fun of stuff :) )

Jato, i have to disagree.. While trailers can have AI and stuff disabled, most games i can remember had pretty much the same preformance in trailers as in the "real" game.
All we gotta care about, is if this runs better than Saints Row, if so. Im happy.
