With the release of GTAIV still months away, what are bored geeks to do but analyze the hell out of every scrap Rockstar throws our way? That's exactly what the folks at GameVideos have done, posting a nine minute analysis of the two minute trailer that was released yesterday. Naturally, we're not going to learn too much more than we already knew, but there are a few interesting points made. In particular, we get a look at some of the recurring characters in the story through some careful scrutiny of the footage in the trailer. Other than that, we get a closer look at some of the graphical effects gamers may have missed on the first viewing. You know, things like pasties covering stripper nipples. We totally missed that the first time. Check out the video to see what else you might have missed.
the new trailer actually turned me off a lil bit cuz of the corny rap music & corny dialogue...the game itself looked real good though...if you gonna put some gangsta sh!t in a game do it right & dont guess...holla @ scarface, pastor troy or dr dre for a track or two!
First of all, here is the song and the reason that it is in the trailer, from ign interview, "The track is called King Ring by Serjoga. He's the most popular rap artist in Russia by far, and we chose it partly because we felt it captured the spirit of the game"
Second, have you ever played any of the GTA games? All the dialogue in these games is corny, but in a good way.
Third, I think you are thoroughly confusing "gangs" with "mobs."
sounds like u had something to do with the game so I won't disrespect your game making skills cuz there damn good...but why would you get russia's most popular rapper for a game based in new york & how am I or anybody suppose to know this dude is from Russia, he just sounds weak & CORNY as does the beat...go get somebody that can rap not who is da hottest
Sounds like you have no idea what this game is about so I won't disrespect your common sense skills "cuz" they aren't damn good... but in the trailer "Niko", Russian name, is greeted by his cousin who, in a Russian accent, says "Welcome to America." Now I can see how all these blatantly obvious clues could have gotten past your excellent powers of perception, so I will forgive you. In fact I personally thought he was Hispanic until someone else set me straight, so now I am just passing along the news.
pandlcg is right, that character in chinese is wo it means I/me, the character for war (zhen) is different on the left side and the right side is not connected to the left side like that character.
Am I the only one who thinks the part when the guy gets chucked off a crane and into the SUV is a Saints Row reference? I mean, it's so similar to Tanya's death scene in SR. The guy's even packing an AK47!

What's the difference between a gang and a mob? Aren't they both organized crime?

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. That looks like "Wo", meaning "I". As in "I am an American" (Wo shi Meiguoren)

When we watched the trailer, my girlfriend, my dad, and myself all noticed the stripper pasties and it was the only thing we commented on. >_>

For anyone wondering, the character is also used in Japanese and is read "ware". It means "me", just like in Chinese.
Anyone wants to copy it for some reason, here it is: 我
