Pesent day, how disappointing. so true ..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlF6fbIFiCM

I'm not really impressed with the video at all.

A Russian main character? ... *sigh* ... not really digging it to be honest. The graphics look great, but you don't get a look at any people, or any destruction, so you still learn piss all about the game. I think doing a whole month-long count down to a trailer was a big mistake, builds up people's expectations way too high. As for Liberty City - AGAIN - hmmm. Somewhere else in the 1970s would have been far better, but now this is basically GTA3 all over again, that was present day Liberty City, now it's the same again...hmmm. First impressions aren't great, nowhere near the same mouth watering (if any) as I had with Vice City and San Andreas...still, at least they've FINALLY got it onto a NEW engine. ABOUT F*CKING TIME. Irrespective, it'll sell like hot cakes covered in glue that makes you into a sex god...

Maybe they have some dynamic new script that's really gonna blow away. It better had cos I too ain't diggin' the Russian. I just hoped that they would come up with something a bit more eye pleasing and epic. The game will probably be amazing anyhow but I wanted to know about the new features in GTA and that clip described nothing.

The fact that it takes place in modern day Liberty City again doesn't bother me considering the fact that it is complete different; not even remotely the same as it was in GTA3. Now it actually looks like NYC with Times Square, Statue of Liberty, Metlife building, Chrysler building, etc. Although, I am disappointed that it's not going to have country area's like San Andreas had. I'm not surprised there wasn't any gameplay footage or anything. They never show anything like that this long before release. Now we just have to wait for three screenshots to be released. Probably of stuff like the sun setting behind the State of Liberty, a newspaper blowing across the street in Harlem, and a guy holding a gun in a car.

who cares what the main character is? you'll blatantly be able to customise it to hell. also russians pwn. edit - although i have to say i was hoping for a "brazil"/"blade runner"-esque setting...

heh, guess im the only one that liked the trailer, i think the overall game looks way diffrenet than the vibe of 3 thru sanandreas, this looks like there trying to be realistic but the past games have allways been a little tongue in cheek, though the (get a life) bit made me laugh, i think it looks graphically impressive, kidna reminded me a little of half lfie 's style meets farentheits, shame theres no gameplay though, still i wasnt to bothered about thsi but now i think i may have to get it. -one thing occurs to me though, since this is rpesent day you know that companys like warner and gonna make em put loads of **** music on the radio stations just like in tony hawks american ****eland.

[MinionZombie]

The soundtrack will probably be like it was on GTA3, modern stuff and a lot of old stuff on stations that play that kinda thing, although I'm hoping for more variety in the soundtrack, as often is the case there are stations you just skip by completely as all the music sucks. Yeah the graphics look good, but in comparison to the previous entries, that isn't really hard to achieve the "wow" or even "ooh" factor from us punters ... I wanted 1970s setting, they haven't done that before, and I reckon that would have been riper for the picking. What next - GTA5 in a new Vice City? Even if Liberty City is going to look different, it's still Liberty City, which has been videogamed-up twice already. And typically enough, 1 measily minute and no hint at gameplay or features or anything, 30 day countdown for that? F*ck-the-piss-off. I'll blatantly get it, like you all will, it'll be a good game no doubt, but thus far I'm underwhelmed...

[bassman]

The look of it is enough to give me wood. I think it's going to be great. And I think I actually like the Russian voice or whatever accent it is. Reminds of a sort of "Leon" vibe. Any word on the voices?

lol mz did you get your council tax today or something? its like...over half a year from release, what did you expect? although i have to say that character model looked gash compared to the rest of the game. maybe it is actually new york, as opposed to liberty city? the city in the video looked like actual new york to me, with that slice of cake building & the statue, etc. i think the only indication it's in the pisstake gta world is the met life building being changed to "Get a life" (lol)

[Tricky]

I dont mind liberty city,it was awesome in GTA3,all it needs is the ability to go outside of it,and also to be able to go into most of the buildings,and not have them empty or sparse on the inside.And fill the world with tiny little details that you wouldnt even notice without looking (such as the newspapers in GTA3,i was impressed by how they were sucked along by the draught as a car went past,and how the shadows altered with the sun position)

[Danny]

it IS liberty city theres s hip in the trialr called the libverty ferry or something, a ship form gta 3 and theres a newspaper called the liberty city somethin' or other.

[CoinReturn]

For those of you dissapointed by the setting, look at it this way. Every GTA game ending in a number has taken place in Liberty City. GTA, GTA2, GTA3, and now GTAIV have taken place in the same area. BUT--their sequels have taken place in different time zones/places. You can always look forward to a new setting for this generation of consoles.

[MinionZombie]

Yeah, it's got Liberty City written all over it (like "Liberteen"). Anyway, I've rewatched the trailer some more now (I saw it when I'd just gotten up early and was all tired out and grumpy), I like it much better now, I just still wish they'd gone for a 1970s setting, what they could have done would have been soooooo cool. A new Liberty City, okay fine ... but if it had been in the 1970s that would have been good - can you imagine how many Saturday Night Fever references they could have whacked up in that bitch?! COME ON! Anyway, looks rather LUSH, but there's a lot of buildings that are just facias and nothing more, a nice looking block. When are we going to get windows you can break and buildings you can f*ck up and so on ... not all buildings, but some would be nice. And aye, I want more interiors that are more varied, not like in TC:NYC where there were types of buildings and they were all the same inside ... at least there were many you could enter anyway... So my feelings towards the trailer have increased since this morning's bleary-eyed-and-grumpy viewing, I just wish it was a 1970s settings - just think of how f*cking cool that could have been - you could have had a whole mission that was like Assault on Precinct 13 (yes I know that film was in LA, but still - 1970s)... Ah well ... they've FINALLY got a new engine for it - about friggin' time, I just hope they don't suck it dry like they did with the last one, there was not enough change over one engine, they should have changed engine sometime before this even, say mid-way through the previous run of games...I duno...anyway, new GTA ... 'bout time. Hopefully they'll release information on a steady flow from now on, give us some details to look forward to and such ... and I still maintain that a 30 day countdown to a 53second trailer (excluding end text) was completely gheay (yes, as in stupid) and pointless, just release the bastard and let folk not get their hopes up so high and start expecting certain things, geez! Never thought of it that way, Coin ... good point. Anyway, I certainly look forward to a new setting on the new gen. While GTA3 was good, GTA: Vice City was f*cking superb.

[capncnut]

San Andreas ruled it though... will it be as good?
