Are you kidding? When have we ever seen gameply for GTA games? Just part of rockstar's mystique. We go out blindly and buy thier games and they generally deliver. :) Im sure all we see in the commericals is the in game engine, wow. The crowds in bowling allys, comedy clubs, streets, can't wait to get that wanted level up.

These trailers are gameplay.
The last Trailer released "Everyone's a Rat" was something like 70% gameplay - you know that 180 degree reverse turn in the car, and that chase around the aeroplane? That was all in game.

Cutscenes in GTA always use the in-game engine anyway. The models aren't supposed to wow you; they are below par for the console like all of the other GTAs visuals were. The sheer size of the game world and the detail on everything is the impressive part. Modeling two or three characters and a handful of generic enemies is easy, doing GTA in scope is as hard as Nikko would be after picking up his first American prostitute.

Always the cynics in the comments.
Anyway, the most exciting part of the ad for me was the 360 logo at the end.
Truly a fanboy, or moreso worried that I might have to buy a PS3 at some point.

Heh, my point about the logo wasn't to say that it was a bad advertisement. I was just pointing out that the series is more and more being associated with the 360. That bodes well for Microsoft, and for my wallet.
For the record, I really like the advertisement.

I thought the choice of music was great, really sells the ad for me. Niko, the changing scenes, and that music really present an amazing package to the would-be consumer.

It's somewhat strange to admit.. But the most impressive thing to me was Niko's walk. That was a fantastic looking walk. Has loads of character to it. Hopefully the animation quality carries over into all of his other actions as well.

After watching this ad, I am wondering if I'll be able to make Niko run, as cool as his walk is.
....Nah, I'm too impatient; Sprinting FTW!

Very sweet ad.
Anyone know what the techno-ish/80s ish/Euro-popish song is? I hope it's on one of the in-game radio stations... sounded good.

This a really nice advert, great styling and a glimpse of the sweet looking cars, the one at the end reminds me of an aston matin (a good english car) which makes me very happy indeed.
