I wonder if it's a medical game, like a doctor's IV.

For some reason I find the trailer strangely appealing even though most others I've talked to think it's boring. I guess that's what you get when your a non-GTA fan.

I found the trailer really boring until I saw that the main character would be of MIDDLE-EASTERN DESCENT! SCORE! I love how Rockstar is always pushing the social and cultural envelope and exposure of those otherwise ignorant, violence-loving kids who play their games.

Yes, kids need to learn that not all people of middle-eastern descent are law-abiding citizens, and some commit horrible acts of violence.

Since when is Russia in the middle east?

Kairon · « **Reply #11 on:** March 30, 2007, 08:32:54 PM »

Darn! So the character is Slavic? Bosnian? Serbian perhaps?

Man this game is going to be so awesome. I really hope the environments are more interactive this time around. Even simple stuff like shattering windows. The car damage better be all sorts of mind boggling awesome too. BETTER BE. Oh and a stable frame rate of some sort, nothing worse than being chased by the cops in bullet time.

The trailer is fantastic. I...uh...I'm not plugging my blog or anything...but I wrote an article on my blog about why I think the trailer is fantastic.

No one has mentioned yet how the opening minute of the trailer is a direct quote of the Godfrey Reggio film Koyaanisqatsi. It's recommended viewing, and if Rockstar is deliberately invoking the perspective of that film, their satire and cultural critique may reach new levels. We'll see.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #14 on:** March 31, 2007, 03:42:37 AM »

No one mentioned it because it's a pretty stupid quote in the context...I mean...He says he used to kill people, and "maybe this time it'll be different"? Uh, this is Grand Theft Auto, so just how does that work? Unless they are pulling a film-type cliche, where a character says he hopes something doesn't come and the viewer already knows it's there...

"MAN, I SURE HOPE THERE ISN'T A PIT OF SPIKES BEHIND THIS DOOR!"
Viewer: OH GOD THERE'S A PIT OF SPIKES BEHIND THAT DOOR! WE'VE SEEEEEEEN IT!
*opens door, falling into pit*
"AW, THERE WAS A PIT OF SPIKES BEHIND THAT DOOR!"

Oh yeah, I would like the game to actually be more than a tapestry put over a wire mesh...That is, I would like to be able to enter a good bit of the buildings, not have the game be a maze of streets...

Just when I thought that I was out they pull me back in!!

ShyGuy · « **Reply #16 on:** March 31, 2007, 06:13:46 AM »

Remember when Clint Easwood had to go back to his killing ways in Unforgiven? That was an awesome movie.

It's nice to see they're not wasting their time on art direction.

Kairon · « **Reply #18 on:** March 31, 2007, 10:31:58 AM »

They have a sense of art direction. A good one. It's quite subtle.

I sure hope you are joking, GTA games have no art direction besides "Pretty, realistic buildings". Anyway the game looks impressive visually, but then again Rockstar is known for chugging framerates, so I'll wait and see.

There are many things about the GTA series that are impressive, but their graphics are most certainly not one of things things.

That is what I seen in the trailer, the GTA has zero artistic value in its visuals.

You misunderstood me. I said the opening minute of the trailer is a direct quote, as in the images and music prior to when the character begins to speak.

We're not watching the same trailer, then.

Or you're easily impressed by crap?

GTA3 / SA look amazing to me. I hope this game sucks so I don't have to buy a 360, but all signs are pointing to no.
