The internet hasn't collapsed under the combined weight of millions of concurrent F5 keystrokes this time, so we can bring you the newest Grand Theft Auto IV trailer, titled "Looking for That Special Someone," without the need for torrents and other such nonsense. Tucked away safely after the break, watch as Niko Bellic hangs from helicopters, hangs from moving trunks, and just hangs out in general (with a gun of course). We're sure internet sleuths are already busy poring over the trailer frame by frame, but until they hand in their report, is their anything notable in this trailer? Us? We're fans of Niko's accent, it's adorable.
Update: Rockstar just sent out some additional facts on the trailer. Facts like:
All footage is captured in real-time on a next generation gaming console
It's running on Rockstar's RAGE engine, also used in Table Tennis
The game uses euphoria, a fully procedural animation package created by NaturalMotion
The music -- titled "Arm In Arm (Shy Child Remix)" -- is by New York City-based band The Boggs
@58 who gives a fuck about hands?!?! seriously when have you played a game and said "man look at those hands this game sucks"and you stop playing?WHEN!??! its a nice touch but not even close to a priority.
There are so many improvements over past iterations of the series that I am just giddy... Giggity giggity.... Nothing major like making it look like gears but the physical interations.. (bullets into cars)....
The hand designs look great. I think I'll actually buy this game now. My 7 friends also decided to get the game now based on the hand modeling. Hopefully the PS3 can pull them off with its gimped RAM and GPU.
Xbox 360. Everyone with multiple platform games demos it on 360 because it's usually more stable and less tweaking is needed to get it running solid a long time before release. (Hell, when Assassin's Creed was supposedly a Ps3 EXCLUSIVE, they were demoing on 360).
"who gives a fuck about hands?!?! seriously when have you played a game and said "man look at those hands this game sucks"and you stop playing?WHEN!??! its a nice touch but not even close to a priority."
I've never stopped playing a game because the hands look bad, but it really, REALLY pisses me off when they look like shit. I'm not a graphics whore by any means, but when I am judging a model of a person I always look at the hands first. It's where a lot of people cut corners, and it shows.
"The hand designs look great. I think I'll actually buy this game now. My 7 friends also decided to get the game now based on the hand modeling. Hopefully the PS3 can pull them off with its gimped RAM and GPU."
One can only hope. If Rockstar doesn't pull something magical out of the hat for the Ps3 version, and if the Ps3 version doesn't look at least on par with the 360, fanboys will whine and bitch that: A. Rockstar is now "lazy" cause they couldn't take advantage of teh cell. (Like they say about every non-Sony-2nd-party dev that say's the 360 gives them more power) B. That Rockstar now favors Microsoft so now they're a crappy developer.
Utils i never said i couldn't play them, but when i get certain videos in Qt its not the simplist thing to convert them into files to readily burn them to DVD.
@Utils "But then I have to jump through hoops! (See my point? Hurts, doesn' it?)"
NO IT DOESN'T. It's 10 sec install - 100times faster than 5 minutes full of spayware/shitware install of this system/RAM/CPU hog of QT - with security holes and making system unstable shity always on drivers.
And as it was shown with nice pictures you CAN use frame-by-frame in WMP.
Also you can run WMP 6.4 typing mplayer2.exe in "Run" command.
But I suppose it's too hard for one mouse button user... Does IT hurts, mate?
btw, wiki grabbed a segment from a Rockstar interview which states: "it has [been] stressed that "there is no target console" and both versions will be technically very similar"
To all those pessimistic people: You act like R* failed everyone with GTA, San Andreas! Maybe if you pulled your heads out, you can get a better look at what R* is trying to provide with the teasers. Oh yeah, all you boobs fighting over which console is better, grow up! Every body has their own preference.
