Rockstar Games took the wraps off the teaser trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV yesterday afternoon, giving gamers their first look at the highly anticipated sequel. While only about a minute long, the trailer offers some key details about the new game. The graphics have gotten a big next-gen upgrade, the setting is clearly a skewed version of New York City, and the game puts you in the shoes of an Eastern European protagonist. Tor Thorsen over at GameSpot offers some additional details, but the big news is that all of the footage in the trailer was captured "in game" running at 720p high-definition. In other words, it's not a prerendered cinematic cut scene; the game should look exactly as shown when it hits the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 16.
After hitting some arbitrary level, will it provide entry to a "Private Party" starring Bill clinton and an unknown girl, and Ted Kennedy, Chris Dodd and an unnamed waitress?
I like the guy on the talkback that can't tell the difference between Eastern European and Middle Eastern. A fine shining example of how people beat on the GTA series without actually knowing what it is. Looking forward to this one.
I was just getting ready to dust off my copy of GTA III again last week cause I was looking for a game to play but didn't have anything new.
So glad IV is coming out, time to offend the mrs. for another 100 hours :)
