Game Forum / Action Games / Grand Theft Auto / March 2007GRAND THEFT AUTO IV - Trailer coming on March 29

By Tor Thorsen, GameSpot Posted Mar 1, 2007 3:59 pm PT This afternoon, Rockstar sent out an e-mail blast centering on a black, monolithic Roman numeral "IV." It announced that the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV will unspool in exactly four weeks on March 29. Since all GTA games from Grand Theft Auto III on have used the in-game engine for cinematics, it is likely that the trailer will contain the first glimpse of the game in action. GTAIV will use the RAGE (Rockstar Advanced Game Engine) previously seen in Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis. Also today, the official GTA IV Web site launched, sporting a countdown clock that will end at 3 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time. That is, if it accounts for the early implementation of daylight-saving time on March 11; if not, it will end at 2 p.m. PDT. As announced at the 2006 Electronic Entertainment Expo, Grand Theft Auto IV will be released domestically for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on October 16. Europe will get the game three days later. It will presumably have an M rating and $59.99 price point. > http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/769/769410p1.htm lhttp://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/12910/Grand-Theft-Auto-IV-Website-Launc...http:// ps3.ign.com/articles/769/769363p1.htmlhttp://tinyurl.com/293jcr > > GTAIV trailer coming 3/29 > first glimpse of the series' next chapter in four weeks. \o/ I am very much looking forward to this. Now cue lot's of tiresome folk all going on about how they can't see what's so good about GTA. > I am very much looking forward to this. Ditto. > Now cue lot's of tiresome folk all going on about how they can't see > what's so good about GTA. I'm hoping that GTAIV will finally put these people in their place. The RAGE that Rockstar used for Table Tennis was nothing short of amazing. If you look closely you can see it even plots individual hairs on the player's heads! I'm trying to imagine what a free-roaming 3d game will look like using this. Hell, I can't even wait for the trailer let alone the game!

It would have to be pretty sparsely populated...as in you and one bad guy. I'd imagine all the cloth dynamics would be turned off for the most part as well. I'm fingers crossed that Jesper is one of the villains though.

Remember in Table Tennis they only had two characters and a very closed environment to worry about. No way that GTA IV will look even remotely like table tennis. I'd be happy with Saints Row with a smoother framerate! >>>> I am very much looking forward to this. >>> Ditto. [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >even remotely like table tennis. I'd be happy with Saints Row with a >smoother framerate! well, i expect theyre aiming a bit higher than saints rown, which looked distinctly last-gen at times. besides, it was a totally different dev team that did table tennis too, people forget that Rockstar isn't just one team :) Signaturegamertag: Chrisflynnuk http://live.xbox.com/member/Chrisflynnuk Current eBay auctions: http://tinyurl.com/hutcb 360, DS, PS2 and Saturn Games For Auction.

I can't see what's so good about GTA. I mean, sure, it gives you total roaming freedom. And lots of in-game humor. Interesting story lines. Great vehicles to play with. The best in-game radio ever. Countless missions and side-missions. Many hours of replay-value. But other than that, what has GTA ever done for us?

[quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > Bram > --http://www.stack.nl/~brama/gtastats.html If you want a good laugh, check out the website "Game Pilgrimage". There's a whole section about how GTA sucks, and how the media conspired to brainwash everybody into thinking it was a good game. I've never seen such a bad persecution complex in the video game website world. The webmaster seems to associate GTA with the "forces" that killed the Dreamcast (he's the world's hugest Sega fanboy), as well as the death of "old school gaming". I find that funny, because I get the impression that the GTA series has its conceptual roots in the days of 8-bit computing; if anything, games like Resident Evil and Rebel Assault did more damage to old-school gaming without providing anything in return. They may have lost me, this time -- unless they knock a few hundred $ off the price of the PS3s. And I'm upset that they have two versions. And I'm upset that the lower-priced unit does not accommodate memory cards. I may join you PCers this time (if my PC meets the system requirements). If it doesn't -- well, I'm not moving heaven and earth to play, this time. I can entertain myself quite well, for some time, with the GTAs I already own. I bought my PS2 for a combination of reasons: First, as a DVD player for movies (the first player I owned); and it would play the new games; and it was compatible with the PS1 games; and it's price was within reason. Three of those four reasons don't apply this time. (Not interested in a Blu-Ray player. It won't play the old games using my carefully made collection of Saves (the "cheap" unit). Even the "cheap" unit is out of line in price.) This time around, I'm displeased with how things seem to be going. --cleve >They may have lost me, this time -- unless they knock a few hundred $ off >the price of the PS3s.

And dont even get me started on how we need to pay an extra £125 ($250) for a machine that is *SUB* standard vs the American and Asian versions in terms of hardware- didnt SONY promise backwards compatibility for everyone?..........and as for the delayed release........and crap online multiplayer......and poor game choice......... SONY can stick it up their arse.........XBOX 360 for me I reckon............... Funny but with only DAYS to release places like GAME, AMAZON, PLAY, TESCOS ad nauseum are still trying to get people to reserve a console............Wii and XBOX 360 were already sold out this close to their releases.......... Lets hope that the Europeans, Aussies, New Zealanders etc all vote with their feet and screw SONYs release.........that'll maybe make them take this market seriously.......

All the Europeans I know are extremely angered by this latest news. I don't understand it, why certain versions of the same hardware, won't allow the backwards compatability. Is it space-saving? 220Vac power supplies don't take up that much more space than our 120Vac ones. Maybe I'm missing alot here. Same with the different content, I think that is only [>>>XBox360Live - PS3 MP Online<<<<<<< based content. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the PS3 only backward compatable with the adaptor that used your old PS1 and PS2 memory cards? Glad I bought a refurbished XBox when the 360 craze hit. Cheap price and I'm learning the controller. Will take alot more practice though. To the guys who have a 360: Is the controller the same? > so why not get an xbox 360 and play it on that, then? Well, I'm pretty heavily invested in the PS series, as far as the games I own. (Actually, that's ALL I have.) > the PS3 is quickly becoming a joke. it's almost like sony are trying > to piss off their customers, frankly. Yeah. If that's what they're trying to do, it's working. --cleve >> so why not get an xbox 360 and play it on that, then? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> the PS3 is quickly becoming a joke. it's almost like sony are trying >> to piss off their customers, frankly. so? do you have to own a playstation?

Well it certainly worked on me, seeing as last summer I (despite having 60+ PSX & PS2 games) had enough of the fuckwittery surrounding the PS3 and bought a 360. Absolutely terrible hardware reliability aside, I can't recommend it enough as a gaming machine. And now with games like Mercenaries II and GTA4 also coming to the 360, there really is no justifiable reason any more to want a PS3. just 4 more days. AirRaid spoke these words: > just 4 more days. Will it come for pc later in the year? sf Torsten SignatureI think a nerd is a person who uses the telephone to talk to other people about telephones.
