Sweet jesus, I can't wait for this to come out.. seriously Rockstar, I am already excited enough... I'm going to buy the damn game, the rest of the world is going to buy the damn game... just stop teasing me with it already and release the damn thing.

[Thatz]

Thanks a lot, guys. Now you've got me hyped up again for this game. It wasn't so bad waiting for this before since I didn't have a new console, but now that I have my 360 I'm anticipating this game more than any other.

[abundant]

With this being the last trailer from them, and given their history of generating hype months before the game releases instead of years, hopefully this means that it will be released some time in March or before.

[Guest Kou]

Well it was already supposted to be out on the original release date. (I think) So I can't see it slipping too far into 2008.

[Ruki]

So the new trailer is up in about 2 hours. Just thought I'd let you know.

[King Ellis]

Real men wait longer and download HD trailers on Xbox Live.

[Clawson]

Oooh.. looks cool. What's the song?

[King Ellis]

WHY CAN'T WE JUST BUMP? WHY CAN'T WE JUST BUMP?

Ahem.

April 25th UK release for GTA IV

Senior industry sources reveal massive title will miss Easter release period

MCV understands that Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto IV will NOT be released in March as expected – and will in fact be held back until the last week in April.

Sources close to the game’s publisher have told MCV that the title’s UK release will miss the Easter period entirely, and will instead go on sale in the final week of Rockstar parent Take 2’s second financial quarter.

That would be in keeping with the company's latest financial statement, which revealed the title would be released in its Q2 period – which runs from February to the end of April.

A Rockstar spokesperson told MCV that the publisher didn’t comment on ‘rumour and speculation’.

If true, the rest of the market will breathe a huge sigh of relief – as they can enjoy the lucrative Easter period without doing battle with one of the biggest releases in recent years.

The news has certainly come as a surprise to the trade. One prominent member of the channel told MCV:

“The last I heard about GTA IV’s release was a couple of months ago, when all the changes were taking place at Take 2’s UK offices. Since then, they’ve gone a bit quiet on what’s going on with GTA IV.

“The way Take 2 work on GTA has always been very secretive. I’d expect some more concrete news from them two or three weeks before release.”

I can't wait that long.

For those that don’t know, if the 25th is the official release date for the UK, then the release date for the US will be the 22nd. If these dates turn out to be true, then I’d guess that sometime in mid/late February or early March, the floodgates will open with weekly updates from IGN & Gamespot, as well as the official site updating with pics and videos.

Does anyone else think that something about the faces look off? I don't know if it had to do with the lighting, but the facial models looked lifeless which is weird considering the progression from GTA III to Vice City to San Andreas.
