New GTA IV Commercial

The long-foreseen flood of GTA IV media has begun and soon there's going to be no way to stop it. Gamestop is even getting into the action, partnering with Rockstar to produce a commercial seemingly designed to to get prospective players to associate GTA IV (and it's collectors edition) with shopping at Gamestop. The commercial is a parody of common travel ads and features a fake celebrity giving a positive voice-over while a video with an ironically negative interpretation of his words is played behind it. The video does its job, showing off the whole vertical slice of the game and being just funny enough to remember. Except for those last seven or eight seconds, which we really just couldn't be bothered to remember.

The more I see of this game the better I feel inside. I literally don't plan on buying any other games this year as between this and COD4 I don't really need much else.

I get exhausted of the GTA titles fast so I'll buy it, love it for a few weeks and grow bored as I always do. I've never finished one, either.
I'd love if '4' could change my mind..here's hoping!

As far as spring gaming goes, I'm planning on buying GTA IV and Alone In The Dark. I'm assuming that'll suffice until July or August (although I'll rent a few more in there.)

Agreed. I have been looking forward to this for a long time. I am still interested in Fable and Fallout and Gears 2, but other than that I plan on keeping this one in the box for a long time to come.

So I'm confused... who's the main character? This Jeremy guy or the other guy we've seen in all the trailers? or is this an optional guy we get to be?

I believe that may be Michael Rappaport hamming it up aurally in that commercial.

I'm having a hard time deciding between special edition and regular. I'm so hyped up for this game.

I hope it looks better and isn't as choppy in the final build! Not incredibly impressed in that regard at all.
