Hooray! Ill stay up until I'll see it
Crying
well i got through the age verification now its buffering or something..
Wow, wow, wow.
I was not expected it to look that good. Looks like a return to Liberty City after all. The GTA main site is running a bit slow(really slow) and I found a high def version at gamevideos.
HD http://gamevideos.com/video/id/10301
SD http://gamevideos.com/video/id/10302
Totally worth the wait. Way to go Rockstar.
Trying (and failing miserably) to access this. Damn rockstar, shoulda known this would happen... Can watch it at school tomorrow if the worst comes to the worst. (cries into hands)
Jesus! Hammered aint the word.....
I got a pretty fast connection so was probably among the first few thousand to see 'internet explorer cannot display this page'
Heres hoping your servers dont get raped before i see it
The GFX is shit!!! That dude is russian or something??? And NY? WTF is up with that?
OMFG!OMFG!The trailer is absolutely insane!A Russian/Balkan guy kickin' it in Liberty City!YES!YES!Thats positively genius!And the graphics(If they stay the same as in the trailer)will give the game even more style.Thank you R*!Thank you Take-Two and thank you GTA pkace for the Mirror!Can't wait for October 19th! :thumbsup:
Why is it in Liberty City again?? I told you all it wasn't going to be in london... You all owe me an apology
Why is it in Liberty City again?? I told you all it wasn't going to be in london... You all owe me an apology
If you made a bet with me, I'd give 200 bucks.
Sorry, But I find GTA IV absolutely awesome. Russian guy, shiit,I'm imigrated from Russia, so its great.
WRONG its Actually LIBERTEEN!!!! lol I WheelMan101 Have Said the GTA4 City Name
LIBERTEEN!!!
Looks to me as as improved SA, look at round shapes man!! They stiil are angular, like the line in the middle of a street!!! And i dont want a f***ing russian lowlife asshole who is wearing sweatpants and a leather jacket!!!
I'm not convinced it's in Liberty City. Where the trailer sites looks nothing like the Liberty City we know. It doesn't say "Liberty Tree" on that building, it says "Libertee" which isn't enough proof for me.
oh contrare my friend, it also said "LIBERTY FERRY TERMINAL"
IT IS in Liberty, and dont even try proving anyone here wrong.
I think now they're just making a remake of liberty city, it would be like GTA 3 never existed... you know?
I'm not convinced it's in Liberty City. Where the trailer sites looks nothing like the Liberty City we know. It doesn't say "Liberty Tree" on that building, it says "Libertee" which isn't enough proof for me.Edit: It could just be in New York, though.
It IS in Liberty City. There's familiar buildings and look at my second screenshot. It clearly says "Liberty Tree" on the left of the screen.
Nooo wtf were rockstar thinking.new york ffs...those c*nts said it was gonna be in london.now im pissed off.Actually they didn't say it was going to be in London, they haven't even officially said where it is.
So there still could be hope yet that it's in the uk...like that other guy said about the trailers.everyone had their hopes up about it being in london.seriously this is gonna be crap if it's just a remake of gta3.But hey it's only march.

Keep your "f***ing russian lowlife asshole" accent to minimum. DONT LIKE IT?? Well go cry about it to your mom.
While the rest of us will play the game, and enjoy it.
I hate f***ers who try creating opposite shit of what is real.

Oh crap, I never saw that. It looks amazing how Liberty City has changed.

I agree, Rockstar would be really gay to go back to liberty city, i mean come on i don't think i would buy the game if it was.
I hate f***ers who try creating opposite shit of what is real.
What ? Whats your point?
Fine i wont bitch about him being russian, but the rest stuff is disappointing. I mean were is the snow?
I don't understand how some people are complaining about where it is or who the main character is. It's GTA4! You know it's gonna be awsome no matter what.
At least you've got the GTA spirit. I dont understand what they all want from R*?? The russian guy is perfect, IT IS time to change. C'mon, all previous guys were american.
Venon07 will you shut up about the london thing, just because you live in london doesn't mean it's going to be there, I hate to break it to you, but it ain't going to be located in london... just get over it.

I wasn't trying to. I was just telling what I saw. I was probably looking at a different part of the trailer than you and chris82. chris82 posted the screenshot and saw that it is indeed in Liberty City.

Hey f*cker i hate to break it 2 u but i dont live in london.And if it's is gonna be in new york,if it REALLY IS! then rockstar have missed a gr8 opportunity.
The birds are pathetic! Their wings looks like made from wood or something, pidgeons in Hitman BM looks more realistic. And were are dogs and stuff? Birds but no dogs? Ill be fine with the GFX if whole ( or biggest part) NY will be in GTA4, but if theres only some part of it that is about the size of SA - then excuse me but that GFX is piece of shit!

Im SuRe ThAt Is GoNNa Be In LybErty CiTy BecauSe in ThE BaCk Of ThE Big BoaT it SayS LiBeRTy CiTy
It Iz GionG 2 Be In LyberTy CiTy If U Put ATTenTion 2 Da Boat U Will See LiBeRty CiTy In The BaCk
"I killed the people, smuggled the people"
Does that mean you smuggle people??
There We Have A High Quality Trailer On Youtube!
Thanks GodFather
What the hell does he mean by selling the people??? I think this guy is a kidnapper or something
Have you noticed the sign that says '' IBER Y FER Y TERMINAL'' ? Obviously Lyberty ferry terminal.
It looks sweeth,but Liberty City again oh well I got much love for GTA still.
It Iz GionG 2 Be In LyberTy CiTy If U Put ATTenTion 2 Da Boat U Will See LiBeRty CiTy In The BaCkDid you see the post above you? Don't post like that, please.
Anyway, tell me how much seconds that it in the video, I probably missed that part.
its on second 24 in the back of the boat it says platypus liberty city
Also it look like its in 2004 2005 around that year what do you guys think?
Ok i was hoping for GTA4 to be in London,but im not complaining, the game looks ACE. I'll just pray fot GTA5....
First to mention GTA5?! hope so....
I hope Claude or Tommy will be in the game. And i'm sure that Fort Staunton will be done by now.It HAS to be, I mean,by 2000nds, absolutely.
Did you notice Chrysler 300c???
yea there was a chrysler 300c ts on second 32
I think this guy is an illegal immigrant, he probably came from russia in a boat and he probably used to work for russia's corrupt government and wanted to escape from that
"perhaps here things will be different" that's when in it came to me, but that's just my opinion
Heck it looks more like new york than liberty, I mean I noticed what looked like the empire state building.
yea there was a lot of stuff from new york the umpire state building,the chrysler tower the statue of liberty
another way to prove that is liberty city is on second 47 there's a train that says liberty on the back
I was watching the trailer and I saw the guy, and he freaking looks like CJ but in a white version, he even walks like him too, just check it out...
So now that we know about GTA IV, let's talk about GTA 5
So now that we know about GTA IV, let's talk about GTA 5
you got to be kiddin me we dont even have gta iv in our hands yet and you want to talk about gta 5 LLLLLOOOOOLLLLL
Perhaps on the next trailer "things will be different"
Hey guys I thought it wasn't going to be a teaser,
what's up with this?
"Rockstar has promised that it won't just be some infuriatingly quick teaser. Instead, it'll offer up the first substantial look into what the game is all about"
Yeah, I hope they will, because really, there wasn't much in it. Let's hope there will be more. Although what I did see was very impressive. It wasn't a teaser, but it could have had more substance.
Well, yes it was a bit of a teaser but... It's biased sorta for them to say it's long because they made it. I'm sure they showed just key parts sorta all around the video and since they know everything about the game they see how those tiny parts are deffinetly showing what the game's about. They just didn't realize that we wouldn't see it extremely clearly. That's my opinion though...
So now that we know about GTA IV, let's talk about GTA 5
You know I was actually thinking the same thing! xD
What I think is the coolest thing, but also scary, is that it's like this game was MADE for me and my best friend. Why? Because we're obsessed with Russian people. Like, make jokes about it, wanting to take trips there, and talking about it ALL THE TIME! She wants to even learn Russian that's how obsessed she is! It was just so weird when we watched it we were like "OMG!"

Lol. Coincidence, yes. Made for you, NO. Pretty intresting though, why you obsessed with russians?
i think they're based on real life cars you could see a 300c and some kind of ford
Even though the graphics are great, I still want it to be a lot bigger than just Liberty City. I want to get lost like I did in San Andreas
BTW Nate10, I think the Xbox Elite it supposed to be 9, not quite 600, but still a rip off for black.
Yeah,Hopefully its big like San Andreas.Im going to get for the 360 for DLC and some PicPacs.
Even though the graphics are great, I still want it to be a lot bigger than just Liberty City. I want to get lost like I did in San Andreas
I'm sure it WILL be bigger. You see GTA III wasn't like an exact copy of NYC, so in GTA IV, they added lots of buildings that weren't in GTA III, and some of their own I'm sure. The point is, It is very likely to be bigger. One thing I AM worried is GTA IV no having country-outback like area, you know, like Red County in SA, Whetstone.
A variety of familiar fictional brands from earlier GTA games appear in the trailer, including Sprunk, Kronos, The Liberty Tree, Cluckin' Bell, MeTV, Logger Beer, Bank of Liberty and Burger Shot. New to the series and shown in the trailer are Fleeca, Whiz (mobile phones), Liberteen, Max Renda (makeup), E Cola (soda) and Bean Machine (coffee house). America's Next Top Hooker (parody of America's Next Top Model) and I Slept With Your Mom (stage show) are also advertised on billboards in the trailer.
Yeah for some reason I wanted like a country side like San Andreas it felt spooky at night and fun to explore.
Rockstar also revealed that all the trailer's footage is generated real-time via the game's RAGE game engine, running on an actual game console, and that it was not pre-rendered.[9] Whether the footage is running on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 has yet to be specified so that means the graphics are going to be just like that
With 120gb 360's and 60gb PS3's I feel no doubt it'll be bigger than SA. Either that or it'll be around the same and we can walk in EVERY building. EVERY SINGLE ONE.That would be Nice. But how possible? Some buildings could be pointless.
Not if you can buy all the properties and have a wider variety of building an empire like it sorta had in VCS. I can't even say all the possibilities they could have for all the houses. But I'm sure there'd be some point for it.

It's ruinning on the 360 for sure considering it says XBox team or something on the bottom right screen while watching the video. But that means a little better for the PS3 graphics wise.
Sorry for double post.
Thompson's campaign seems to be solely focused on the Xbox 360 release of the game, making no mention of the PS3 version at all............................im reading that off wikipedia
The trailer version isn't watermarked with Xbox team. I just think it's from wherever you got the video.
Edit: Chris! You beat me to it.
A watermark is where an image or word is superimposed onto a video for advertising or copyright. The image or word stays in that place for the duration of the video
That's right. Has anyone else found any more easter eggs in the trailer yet?
I just watched it in HD and wow blown away.Look at the water it almost look real.
And so the source can be tracked... and other sites are less likely to steal it, or add their own watermark.You should all download the HD trailer though, it's way better watching it in high quality.
Ya, I downloaded it and just watched it, amazing really.
edit: Ya, I saw the church in GTA 3 and LCS. It's the church in LCS where you do missions for that priest or something, I think that's the church.
That Church looks like the Church from Grand Theft Auto 3 and LCS.
coughcoughJUSTSAIDTHATcoughcough
JK but ya, sure does.
My mom said the first time she watched the vid she said the guy looked and sounded mexican but she now thinks ya, it's russian since she watched it again. I made her lol.
I also saw the "Liberty City" on the back of that boat, just below "Platypus", could Australia feature in the game??? I hope so.
Edit: Does anyone know why they didn't include swimming in gta's up to san andreas
I also saw the "Liberty City" on the back of that boat, just below "Platypus", could Australia feature in the game??? I hope soNo, I don't think that's a big clue that Australia could be in the game. It's already seen to be in Liberty City already.
I know that, it's just because I'm Australian, It'd be pretty cool to know the road I'm driving along etc. although it definitely hope over reality.
Edit: Yep, Platypusses are from Australia.
Hey, when do you guys think the second trailer(if there's another) will come out?
i really hope that there's another one
Wouldn't have a clue, hopefully as soon as possible, I need more........
Edit: Didn't Rockstar say there would be screenshots?
I dont even have an idea i just hope asap
edit-Whoops some asked that question allready.
i just wanna know that guy's name and if he is really from russia
and what do you guys think about the chapters that are gonna be via x-box live
Those are going to be awesome and so is GTAIV! Everything is so cool, a bit disappointed about the Liberty location but they redesigned it and expanded it so much which makes up for it! It looks phenomenal The Russian protaganist is also cool because I'm sorta Russian... Long story Still can't wait for more trailers and the game itself!
Screen Captures of the trailer which I took earlier are now online!
I'll post up analysis of them tomorrow, I'm a little late with these I know.
Nice pics,cant wait for this game.Well it looks like im going to be a daily member here preety cool site.
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this already, but did anyone notice that the main character in the GTA IV trailer looks a lot like the antagonist in Behind Enemy Lines?
Looks really similar to me. Looks like they switched the color of the pants and the jacket though, if you watch the video (the picture of the GTA guy is really unclear) you'll see that he's wearing track pants that are the same color as the antagonist from Behind Enemy Lines' jacket.
Honestly guys, I`m really dissapointed.The graphics are amazing, the character look like a motherf***er, I mean I don`t wanna play that guy, he looks like shit.Why isn`t a 18year-old teen-ager not this 40 dude.I`m dissapointed by the city too.I mean I`m tired of NY, if it doesn`t have other cities I think this game`s sales will drop...
Hey guys don`t be dissapointed, R* said they don`t make sequels that have 10%, so they probably know what they`re doing, I just hope that guy is not the main-character he ennoyed me when I fisrt saw him.
Hey guys have you noticed something?At the end it shows the russian(or whatever) but when you see a guy in the car there is a blonde dude, I mean I`m not fool, I dunno what to believe.I`ll come with a screenshot.
Lol guys, I got something that may prove the russian isn`t the protagonist.Just check out when you see a guy driving a blue car just look at his hair, it`s blonde(just watch the first 10 seconds of the trailer)!!! And the russian has black hair.I`m not sure but I just hope that is the main-character.Probably I`m wrong but I just hate that russian.
Yeah, new online record for TGTAP. I couldn't see it at it's release, stupid server just wouldn't come online and then I just had to go to bed.
The graphics are awesome. Notice that when the car bumps a small metal cap you really heared a metal sound.
It just didn't look like GTA. Like how the old engine rendered stuff. I'll get used to it.
Also R* has kept the good old cluck'n bell in the game and also Sprunk. They also had a hotel name "getalife". A little add for a movie titled: "Slept with my Mom". And one more little add: Top Hooker.
The boat states, Liberty City. So although this is a new serie, they still have that name in it.
Now let's hope R* manages to get the old GTA feel with the the new gen of graphic. It was far better then I expected.

Nah, it's the Russian guy for sure. The guy with blonde hair in the car was probably just some rich ped, I bet R* just wanted to show off the car. I know the protagonist is... old but imagine a young Russian guy, that would just sound a bit weird. I like that it is a Russian protagonist, almost definite re-appearance of the Russian Mafia! Told ya guys they would go into more detail about it. Bring out the AKs lmao!
I saw it about 12 times now. I like very much the graphics, everything I like at this trailer. The think i like is the character, the russian guy, very nice. Me too, Jace, I could not stay till the trailer, because of the server, so I saw it in this morning. I think i had sleept for 4 hours and now I have to go to school.
I cant wait for the second trailer to appear, or new screen shots....
I cant stop watching it.Im just watching it over and over again trying to look at the cars and wat not.
Yeah I think they'll call it Liberty City, but you never know. Anyway man, that trailer was amazing, absolutely amazing, I'm speakless. The main character seems great, the graphics is awesome, the shadows is totally great, fckn realistic. The trailer is great, BTW I also like cold and gloomy places like NYC Seems like R* has done it again, oh yeah.
Apparently, the server crashed ONE MINUTE after releasing the video. I think millions of people clinked the link at once and it just couldn't handle it.
Yeah, New York again, well it's OK, and graphic is grate, man, and looms like the main player is white Russian guy says: "Thongs will be differed".
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this already, but did anyone notice that the main character in the GTA IV trailer looks a lot like the antagonist in Behind Enemy Lines?Looks really similar to me. Looks like they switched the color of the pants and the jacket though, if you watch the video (the picture of the GTA guy is really unclear) you'll see that he's wearing track pants that are the same color as the antagonist from Behind Enemy Lines' jacket.
Yeah actually you could be right. I've seen the film a couple of times and he does look quite similar. I think I might research some other films that had Russians in them.
Thongs will be differed".
Best. Typo. Ever.
Of course, all thongs are differed, they differ in size, colour etc.
However, I don't think we'll be seeing our protagonist wearing a thong. See, this is why you should look at what you're typing
Honestly guys, I`m really dissapointed.The graphics are amazing, the character look like a motherf***er, I mean I don`t wanna play that guy, he looks like shit.Why isn`t a 18year-old teen-ager not this 40 dude.I`m dissapointed by the city too.I mean I`m tired of NY, if it doesn`t have other cities I think this game`s sales will drop...
I'd personally not prefer playing as an 18-year-old after seeing how good he trailer was. We don't even know if he's 40 years old. Plus, the game might be New York based again but that doesn't mean the sales will drop. Come on, this is GTA IV. It's supposed to be another revolutionary GTA.
Well as I looked the trailer a few times and started pausing/playing it I noticed a few things:
- Obvious it's located in Liberty City with some New York City tints.
- First screen with the metro/train in the top left u see flyUS or maybe flyU6 I don't know
- Then at the Ferry thing at the water; you see a boat at the right. (In GTA 3 there was a ferry too in Portland..)
Btw. I love the water flow.
- Then the music goes faster and the screens too and u see Liberteen standing. (LC, High Buildings = NY)
- The statue and you know the name..
- Then u got the fast going lines, now I paused really fast and all that stuff and I found one interesting thing, at top bar it's saying African Markets ... and the guy says at the end of the trailer; I've killed people, Smuggled people, Sold people.
- Funny thing middle bar is saying Cheese Crisis.. (Maybe some can help figuring out more in those fast going text lines?)
- Then 2 screens later orso you see a beer thing at the left (just to regcognize it) and there is standing 360 and I slept with Mom on signs.
- At the big road thingie with all the stuff you can see Liberty City coming back many times and Liberty Tree.
- At the screen with ME TV and the weapon and burger thing a police car drives by with LCPD standing on it.
- A boat with Liberty City on it.
That's all I got to say. Mutch of this is already mentioned but I just like to list it for you all.
I like the trailer so much and the Russian Guy gives the GTA Series a good new look. "Things Will Be Different" Eh
Really makes me thing about getting a new console, is something I have been thinking about, specially Xbox, I am not much of a gamer anymore but companies keep releasing new games that really make me want to play again.
Really good trailer, I liked almost every aspect of it.
Yep it's definitely set in LC, you can see advertisements for the Liberty Tree and theres the boat with Liberty City stamped on the back. Theres also this Screen i took of a Police Car with LC written on it.
http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/5159/111jh1.png
Im liking the shadows and the cars, especialy the people carrier Taxi.

I guess it will definetly be called Liberty City then.
But I still think that Moscow could be another possibility for another city in the game.
Well the trailer was a day ago and im still watching it,im just so exited when it launches.Ill be on this forums everyday when it comes out.Cant wait for the Easter Eggs.
i think it's one of the coolest trailers that rockstar ever made
and that quote saying he killed, smuggled and sold people and perhaps things will be different
maybe it meant that our bussiness is more legit than other gta, you know that word came from someone who look like he is going to quit or something
or maybe it could mean something else?
we'll just have to wait for some answers!
but hopefully after this, rockstar will give us more and more information including screenshots!
the boat says "platypus liberty city" it is liberty city noobs!
Just before it goes to the building "getalife" you see a electronic board. On that there is written "Dutch" and then the next scene comes. Wonder what it was..
The scene cuts too early to read the entire line, but what we can read is:
Energy prices up following long decline
Dutch markets
And then it cuts to a different scene. It's nothing important, if anything it's just going to be a little joke.
Hang on, nobody has mentioned anything about what will be in it!
Firstly the city is much larger than liberty city was in GTA3. (More resemblance of New York -Times square, empire state building, Statue of "liberty" etc...) I bet the statue is called "The statue of Liberty City" or something though. -Im basing this on the fact that the layout of the city is completely different.
Secondly, there could very well be a fully operational Rollercoaster, "Screamer", featured in the game. Should be good if it was ridable.
Peds interactions have dramatically improved, with smerks and even waving at people while driving. Paths have also been improved (birds too).
Water physics has been improved drastically, and a (working) ferry port is featured. Shadows and Lighting has also been improved.
More realistic cars instead of the usual fantasy cars. Also features telecabinas (dont know what it is in english).
Maybe the statue will be called "The Statue of York"
