Some thing to prep you guys for the new trailer tomorrow :smile:
 
No GTAIV love? :cry:

The trailer just came up a couple mins ago. Surprisingly, there was zero crash (wtf?) and the trailer itself is 2 mins long.

Nothing much to see, just some footage and cutscenes. It definately rekindled my interest in the game though :D
 
I just watched it, and my interest just dropped further down. My god, these characters are just not inspiring. It would have been nice if some of those bits had stepped up this gen, but clearly not. Look forward though to small surprises, they always have some cool stuff in there. But overall, this game really doesn't appeal to me.
 
The good.. the framerate has gone from "u gotta be kidding" to "ohh i guess that will do".

It looks alot cleaner and has some nice touches like the water, the characters are still primitive if way better than what we saw on the PS2. Maybe i hope for to much?

The thing is, it leaves me stone cold, i am so underwhelmed, i cannot connect. I don´t get the "i wonna be there" feeling. The characters, i just don´t feel anything for them, why should i want to play "them" when they seem so uncool and the enviroments even less interesting.

Unless a miracle happens Vice City will still stand as the peak in this series.

Yes, i expect i will end up buying this game but not as a preorder, i am not convinced.
 
Looks fine and about what I expected based on the last trailer. But Ugh the animations :cry:.
Edit: I don't think they should bother to make this game,but I understand the cash in factor.
GTA was revolutionary,this game will be..... good.If I were them I would try and do another game that has the impact the GTA did.
This reminds of how I felt early about Assasins Creed. Sound like a great idea on paper,but may end up feeling generic in 2008.

Looks to have more actions than older trailers, which is good. But do the characters have facial expressions implemented properly? Sometimes they look like wearing a stiff mask with only eyes and mouth moving, not good for dramatic storytelling.

This is supposed to be the last GTA, so I guess they agree with you.
 
You would assume someone else is going to buy the rights though. Just hope it's someone actually capable of doing it justice (Not that Rockstar North really are to be honest, every game barely hits 20fps on console)

Actually, now that I think about I hope someone else does do it, might be the best/most enjoyable GTA of all time :LOL:

Maybe Real-Time Worlds (Crackdown)...?

They're not that far away location-wise either..


EDIT:

Anyways I think you're all putting too much focus on graphics.. We haven't seen anything of the gameplay so far yet & from what Rockstar have announced so far they're really looking for a deep and richly immersive gameplay system (as usual..)

I wouldn't write off the game purely because it's not visually comparable to other kingpins like GeOW & Halo..
 
I would settle for a slight improvement over San Andreas if they did it at 60 fps to be honest with you.
 
Why would they spend all this money to develop a next-gen GTA and then stop?

They should be leveraging the engine for at least a couple more games.

Given GTA's history, why does your interest lie with GTA4's graphical prowness? If the was an award for "Best Ugliest game that Rocks", :LOL: the GTA franchise would win every time.

They will probably leverage GTA until the wheels falls off and then someone will probably come and buy the rights and try to resurrect the franchise.
