The Final Countdown

[sirdavinator]

lol it crashed.

[Buford Ripley]

Hmm. I'll try again in half an hour.

[Ruki]

Wow....just wow....I couldn't connect to the site a min before. But...shit.

[Guest Kou]

And what I predicted to happen, which is the site completely crashing, happened. It'll be out tommorow.

clicky

[destroyed]

Iv'e had the site minimised for 2 hours nearly, but as soon as the clock stopped counted it started to load then timed out after putting in my DOB

You would think they'd anticipate a problem like this after a month long countdown clock and buying time on FX.

EDIT

IGN has first impressions up though...

We're back to Liberty City

That's fantastic news, as Liberty City needs to be fully fleshed out. It also makes sense since it's GTA III to GTA IV so it can be seen as a progression of sorts for the numbering. Hopefully nameless guy's name will be revealed and 8 Ball gets to play a part in it again.

I didn't care too much for Liberty City. It's an alright city. It's a lot better than San Andreas though.

Though Vice City is superior to them all.

It's good to see that the location has shifted back to Liberty City. I was really impressed by the lighting and the level of detail in each of the buildings; the animations and activity shown by the passers-by was great too, and the new Jean Reno lead character certainly looks different from past protagonists. Of course, he's not really Jean Reno, but it certainly looks like him only with a Russian accent. It's great to hear that everything shown in the trailer, according to Rockstar reps, is all in-game as well. I'm left highly impressed.

The problem with building month-long hype for a trailer is that each day leading up to the trailer grows fan expectation. There's no way the GTA IV trailer could give fans everything they wanted or reveal too much about the game. But I liked what I saw. Seeing a true New York revealed -- with numerous identifiable landmarks, including the Chrysler Building and Grand Central Terminal -- gave me a bit of a charge. It's about time Rockstar gave up on "impressions" of real places, buckled down and gave us free reign in over a real city. What better place to debut a true GTA adventure than in the city that never sleeps?

The trailer showed a day/night cycle, some swanky next-gen graphics and revealed one character who apparently belongs to the Russian mob. If Rockstar uses real gangs, as Erik Brudvig suggested after seeing the trailer, GTA IV could be pretty brilliant. I expect nothing less than a full-scale New York City with functional subway system, a true blue Yankees Stadium and lots of innocent pedestrians to endanger. Though the gameplay remains a hidden secret, I am still slightly apprehensive about falling in love with GTA IV. So far it looks fantastic -- but if Rockstar doesn't fix its controls and give me something more than what's come in past GTA games, I'll be disappointed. That said, following the trailer debut, GTA IV is definitely a game that is high on my wish list.

After watching it, I can say this is gonna be the first GTA game with good graphics. It looked pretty good, though I've seen a lot better from next-Gen.

I wouldn't mind playing this game, the trailer is pretty good.

[The Kraig]

I love the detail involved but...why do Liberty City, AGAIN?

[Timmoru Suzuki]

GTA returns to my favourite GTA city, the home of my favourite GTA game? This might actually hold my interest.
