There's a mirror of the GTA IV trailer here. The Rockstar site bit the dust bang on 11pm.
I was prepared to be 'meh' but Rockstar hooked me once again. They have the knack of these cinematic trailers, which are every bit as natural and well done as the in-game cut-scenes always are.
Pretty sure this is going to be the quality of the in game graphics because, just like the Zelda trailer, Rockstar have never used pre-renders in trailers or in-game, it's always been done with the engine.
So excited, and I didn't want to be. =D

Fecking lush.
Apparently the trailer heavily references Koyaanisqatsi. An arty 80s film with lots of that kind of stop-motion stuff going on, and the exact same soundtrack (Philip Glass.)
ReplyDeleteLooks like modern-day Liberty City done how it was almost meant to look. Some nice details in the movie if you keep hitting pause and examine the screen.
This looks excellent, such detail.
ReplyDeleteThis would make me get a next gen console.
