Grand Theft Auto IV

[Dibs]

Ok guys, here it is. The true sequel to one of the biggest games in recent time: Grand Theft Auto III. And I'm not talking about pish posh add-ons like Vice City and San Andreas. I'm talking about a full blown makeover. Well, at least that's what I'm hoping for.

As I type this the trailer is due to come out in less than two hours as the Rockstar countdown clock is showing.
Countdown Clock

If you change your computer's clock, it will change this clock, but you'll only get a 404 error by doing so. So don't try it.

So the trailer hasn't release so nothing is known right now. But we will know soon enough.

I'm not really a fan of GTA but I'm interested in seeing what they do with the series.

Finally...I loved GTA III and was a bit disappointed with Vice City and San Andreas. I'm sure GTA IV will set things right.

Disappointing that it's in Liberty City, though.

It seems GTA has taken a more somber tone, which I like. When you look at this one it doesnt scream "sex" and "substance abuse."

To quote from gamespot.

At first glance, the trailer, titled "Things Will Be Different," shows what appears to be New York City. Landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and the Brooklyn Bridge are all clearly shown in vivid detail, thanks to the new RAGE graphics engine, which was previously used in Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis.

However, the devil is in the details, and a closer look at the trailer appears to indicate that it is set in a totally revamped version of Liberty City. A ship registered to Liberty City is shown docked at a wharf. A derelict "Liberty Ferry" is shown, as is a skyscraper with the logo "Liberteen" in front of it. During a shot of a Times Square-like plaza, a sign for the Liberty Tree newspaper can be seen, as can a small banner that appears to say "Welcome to Liberty City."

Darn it Chill. Why'd you have to show me that?

Downloaded the trailer in High-Def on my 360 and enjoyed it. I'm personally glad it's in Liberty City, as I never played GTA3... and here's Liberty City waiting for me to play it now, and it's the next-gen version, built from the ground up to be super impressive.

The next Game Informer has an exclusive 10 page look at the game. There should actually be information in it, whereas from the trailer we only get the location (and who knows, there could be more locations), what seems to be the main character... and that's it. The past GTA games have been revealed in Game Informer issues though, so I have high hopes for the issue.

Vulpine, you can just pretend it's New York because it looks the same anyways.

Just when everyone expects London....

But still, the trailer isn't half bad, and I hope San Andreas get wiped away! Not that it's a bad game or anything.

I, for one, am looking forward to the next release in a great series of games. Grand Theft Auto has always been a good series, since the release of Grand Theft Auto III. The last two releases, however, were very disapointing.

Sure, some of us would like to live back the good olf GTA days, but the games were a complete disaster.
