While the official page has worked for some of us here at Fanboy Towers, we have another alternative for you to check into. Xbox.com just added the HD trailer to the Game Detail page. After verifying your age you can check the quick teaser for Rockstar North's masterpiece. Taking place in
The narrator (whom we can only assume is the character you play) appears to have a Russian accent and is looking for a fresh start in the city that never sleeps. Graphically speaking, the lighting and character models look light years ahead of any previous GTA title and the score was very foreboding and somber, adding the perfect mood to the teaser. Simply put, we're stoked. What say you, fanboys?

Wanna know what I say? I say that trailer was WAAAAY to short for a one month hype. Still gonna be a kick ass game tough.

"Graphically speaking, the lighting and character models look light years ahead of any previous GTA title"
but GTA is notorious for bad character models.

This does look so much better than any prior GTA game. I just hope the story and gameplay are as good as the graphics.

Looks pretty damn good. We'll just have to wait and see if it stays this good, but at least the GTA series has been using in-game footage as cutscenes for a while now.

Lots of advertisements in the game. is that "spending money makes you happy" on the street tickers sprunk soda? e cola? weapons x movie? whats the "I had your mom" movie "I slept with your mom" I think is the name of it.
the 6 slices of beef burger from burger shot? cluckin bell. was that a starbucks atm? bean machine? maybe I just read it wrong. I wonder what the activities are? the roller coaster looks interesting.

Ok, first of all, whats with the choppy motion? Secondly,the grahics are barely on a par with Saints Row. Pretty sad when its had almost a year more development time, probably more when you consider its such an old franchise. Lastly, I'm not too keen on playing as some Albanian thug.

I was anxious for the game, now after the trailer I'm histerically desperated to know more!!!
Damn this is fine for a GTA game and the immigrant PC is too good to be true in the way it's gonna annoy the hell outta the retarded right wing extremists like Thompson and retarded vigilantism lovers!
GTA IV is gonna be FUN and not only to play but to see the extremist right wing go NUTS on it! LOL
I LOVE YOU ROCKSTAR!!!

I thought it had kind of a Matrix look and feel to it. Very cool!

Killroy: It's on-par with Saint's Row now, and they still have until October to polish it. I'm pretty sure even if the graphics stay at this level, though, I'll be happy, I mean we're talking a HUGE city to go through, and GTA's always have a way of being time-consumingly fun.

Ummm...
Am I the only one who wanted this to be more like Vice City, and less like San Andreas?
I dont like games set in dark and grim locations.....thats why I liked Vice City (and Crackdown), cos they were nice and bright!
Oh well, still gonna be good by the looks of it! ;)

it was short, yes. and it was choppy, yes. but who cares?
the two most important questions have been answered (kinda); where and who.
i don't mind it being in new york one bit. it is slightly cliched, but you can't ask for a much more diverse area, real or fake. its going to have everything and its going to be enormous. just think about the possibilities for gangs.
and the main guy is eastern european or something like that. that was a curveball i don't think anyone saw coming, and needless to say, i think its brilliant.
wow am i pumped. i'm sure i'm not the only person that has already reserved this game.

Even if there is the Liberty Statue, I think it's Liberty City instead of New York.

To #9: The choppy motion was there because that part was done like a timelapse movie, to show the sun moving throughout a day. The music was from Koyaanisqatsi, a movie known and loved for it's timelapse sequences. Also, the first thing the narrator says is "Life", which is what koyaanisqatsi means.
On topic, the game looks awesome!
