Yes folks, the first video footage of Grand Theft Auto IV is hitting teh internets today. Sometime between 2-3PM PST. So given the popularity of this series and  the possiblity of a forumsplosion, here comes this thread! Use it for all of your trailer-discussing needs. Remember that all of the normal forum rules apply, including those relating to bashing other consoles. And don't make your own threads you crazy kids, we do crowd control for a reason.

Now commence speculation, as the thing won't actually be arriving for another sixteen hours or so.

Having seen the trailers of GTA before, I would say that this will be disappointing for most.  The only thing you will get out of it will be the location  and possible protagonist.  I doubt it will have much on the story and new features.  Most of that stuff has come from interviews and company lines.  But it is cool that it is coming out because they usually come out with the first trailer in June or later.  The info doesnt start rolling in until August or September.

High expectations inevitably lead to disappointment. That being said, this will probably be tremendously disappointing,

A lot of people seem to think that the trailer isn't going to live up to the hype, but I'm most intrested in seeing what city it's going to be in, and the graphics on the new systems. You've got to think it's going to at least attempt to be a big leap forward since it's part 4 and not just another title. The only thing that could make it suck for sure, is if it's in the future or the wild west.

The thing we are going to get out of the city which could be the most important update to the game. Is weather or not they have created a city that feels alive. With hundreds of unique people interacting. Alos why cant the just give the game fps controls already?

It'll probably set in Tokyo and the game spans all of Tokyo, which would be cool, a whole country. You're character would probably a Japanese-Chinese hybrid that got booted out of the Yakuza and working for the Police to get into the Chinese Triads. You will run around with airsoft guns because firearms are banned in Japan but you hack the cops and enemies up with your Samurai sword blade that you found at the Sony Headquarters and combining the blade with the hilt and handle found in Nintendo headquarters. You ultimately reach ninja status. I really hope they don't set it in the future. A sci-fi GTA? Uugghh! A Central and South American influence would be cool. Running around with a Tony Montana Scarface accent trying to push and move kilotons of drugs. Driving through the rainforests and such. But I don't think its considered GTA to have your car stolen in that part of the world. Cops would call it "Sh!t outta luck".

That site is so going to overload later on. I'm still looking forward to seeing the trailer but I think I'll wait til the morning to do so when everyone has calmed down. Either that or Gamespot or IGN will hopefully have it up.

Instead of several sections of one city, it would be cool if the sections turned into several cities... Paris, Tokyo, Rome, London, Rio, etc... and you must go out to the airport and fly between them... (imagine getting to the airport in time to make your flight out of town as dozens of police cars are chasing you!). GTA IV International... GTA IV Jetsetter... GTA IV Global.

The first official trailers of san andreas and vice city gave away a lot about the plot, main character and scenery. I think they will do the same for GTA 4 just to spark the interest of people.

Yea well it not that I entirely hate GTA

Vice City was ****ing Amazing!! However San Andreas was complete crap.

I don't give forgiveness to developers. In the 21st Century its not about what games you've made, its about what your last game was. Even though Vice City was good, we know they can never pull it off again.

GTA is no longer just a plain Action/Adventure as it was with Vice City, but a RPG/Action/Adventure as with San Andreas.

They definitely need to breath some new life into the series and come out with something that is not just another GTA style game.

Even though there are 8.5 hours to go till the trailer's release, don't expect to be viewing it in 8.5 hours. First of all, it might be delayed, as was the return of Xbox Live on Tuesday (well don't think that way cause perhaps they have already finished the trailer). Second of all, there might be such a high volume of traffic on http://www.rockstargames.com/IV that you might be waiting for a long time to connect. True I'm sure it will be posted in many other locations but it might take a while for it to make it on YouTube.

1) I hope that the servers are good. They will have a hell of a day/night

2)I hope that GTA IV won't be a MMO.

I agree with Shinian, it shouldn't be a MMO. it should be a third person action/adventure with the special GTA atmosphere

That's a really good idea. I would love to see a world where you could fly around regualarly, and then goto the airport and pay to take a plan that fast ravels you to different cities. I could only wish.

Seeing as it's using the Rage Engine, the same graphics engine used for the Table Tennis game, there should be a definite improvement to the graphics. No more shovel hands :)

it'd be cool if they fully let you customize your character..voice done with xbox mic...picture done with xbox camera. That'd be kickass...i doubt we'll see much in this trailer...trailers never seem to show me anything about the game.
