New GTAIV box art video, new trailer dated

No, it's not really a new trailer for GTAIV, but it is new and it is related to GTAIV. The video above showcases what we assume to be an an example of the normal, everyday process of creating box art for video games. This process apparently involves the use of several skilled artists, ladders, scaffolding, a brick wall, and a helluvalotta paint. If box art really takes this much work, it's no wonder so much of it sucks. You'd think they'd just use Photoshop. Oh, and while this isn't really a trailer for GTAIV, the video does mention a new trailer entitled "Move up, ladies," which should debut December 6. Wait a minute ... that's next week! And it's when the Fall Dashboard Update is due! Coincidence? ... Yeah, probably.

Not like the release date of the trailer will matter anyway. The entire Internet stops working when a new GTA trailer comes out.

Not sure why you can't see the "reply" option (tested in IE and Opera), but it's possible Safari or Firefox may not play nice. Anyway, I agree ... nice stars :)

I wish they would've dropped GTA4 when they should've. We could've been upto GTA4:Puerto Rico coming out this summer already.

Wow I thought you guys were joking in your description. It seems it does take dozens of artists and scaffolding... who'd have known. I really just thought they photoshopped it
