Big news everyone, we're going to be seeing some Grand Theft Auto IV footage in an official trailer set to release on March 29th. GTA IV's official website has been updated with an iconic "IV" logo, with the word "TRAILER" below it and countdown timer. Excitement for the trailer should be high, because we've been a sheltered bunch when it comes to GTA IV goods. Rockstar has kept a lock on any GTA IV related media as we have yet to see any video, any screenshots, or any information other than an October release. As the countdown to March 29th nears, any speculation to how visually the game will compare to its predecessors, or will its success hinge on its gameplay?[Thanks, to everyone who sent this in]

Hopefully they show something at GDC :D I doubt it but a man can dream since I'll be there.
Either way, I can't wait to see how it looks.

I'm reaaaaalllllly praying for the best possible outcome. But truthfully, I think a let-down is inevitable. Mainly because the GTA series has never substantially improved graphically due to the fact that its animated. That realism effect will never be a part of GTA. So, my guess is.. it will be Crackdown without the amazing leaps over buildings and kicking of trucks across the city

Well, considering they said that they'd be using the same engine from Table Tennis, but they're going to tweak and update it (obviously), I'm going to say this is going to be the prettiest, most realistic GTA we've seen yet. Just look at Crackdown, great draw distance and great graphics, don't you think Rockstar can work their sandbox magic and make that puppy scream "awesome"?

I bet everyone $5 its going to be a sequel.
Thats what I think its going to be or somehow spun off from a character from one of the last three games.

I heard somewhere that the stars of GTAIV will be the characters featured in Table Tennis... Forgot where I heard it but it doesn't sound too absurd.

GTA3 was a huge hit because people love open cities.
I got Crackdown last week...that game is excellant, nothing like picking up a car and throwing it at a group of people. hehe
Hopefully this trailer will make it to Live in 720p.

Hoping it takes the sandbox genre into new, unexpected territory. Doesn't give me the tingles like most upcoing A-list titles tho. It will come when it comes and I will play it.

Why do people care about GTA's graphics? The graphics have always merely been sufficent. You don't play GTA for graphics. No one does. I bet it doesn't hold up to everyone's "standards".
I would rather the game leverage the processing power of the 360 and the PS3 for something mind blowing to play, not just to look at.
