Boston (10:45 am): There are 50 days, 13 hours, 14 minutes, 50 seconds left until the release of Pokemon D/P!

My life depends on THAT game... Besides, that's a countdown for the freaking trailer for the game... weak dude, weak.

Mwahhaha GTA sequels and clones as far as the eye can see! BEAUTIFUL.

No, no seriously, I'm more waiting for pokemon. I need something to play at work, and a reason to buy something to play it ON.

~Tobe

I'll give you that I want pokemon D/P as well, but I always got more joy from GTA.

And Boston, the reason why it's a countdown to the trailer is because... It's so awesome. =O

>> No, No trailer to GTA is awesome, that's annoying. D/P 4tW

Ololz, I'm sorry, I clicked on this topic thinking it was important.

My bad.

At first I clicked the link and thought "26 days until GTA4 is released? Why did i not know this where is my money I must buy a 360"

Then I realised it was a countdown to the trailer =( Oh well, hopefully it will be awesome

Also pokmon has been on a decline since GSC I don't see why the new one will break the trend

GTA holds, as ever, no interest for me.

Hello, Gaming Academy. I would like to play a game with you.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Allow me to be one of the few voices of dissent in the thread by going "Woohoo!"

Well since the closed my thread time to resurrect this one.

GTA IV IN LESS THAN 2 HOURS

I see nearly 5 hours am I doing it wrong or is it timezone specific =(

I'll probably stay up for it anyway tho

I see 4 hours... Shadonic is... dyslexic?

No I am not dyslexic. When I posted it was two hours. Right the clock says 44 minutes before the trailer is reveal.

No I am not dyslexic. When I posted it was two hours. Right now the clock says 44 minutes before the trailer is reveal.

Edit- Whi do I have 2 posts?

I saw 3 hours and 40 minutes until reveal. Definitely NOT 44 minutes.

It takes your computer clock into consideration, that's why. Changing your computer clock to after the clock would go 0 gives you a 404 though...for now.

Mmm I live Puerto Rico. Maybe it has something to do with location beacuse right now the clock is a 34 minutes.

edit - See HSW explanation.

Well that's pretty dumb, now isn't it? There's only going to be one specific time that the trailer is put up, so shouldn't the timer correspond to THAT instead of my own clock?

It's utilizing the timezones too, but using the computer clock at the same time is kinda odd. The cool Rockstar kind of odd.

GRAND THEFT AUTOOOOOOOOO

Well the timer in my computer ran out. So anyone knows the real hour of when the trailer will be reveal?

11PM GMT, apparently. Adjust for local timezone 😯

I was almost impressed, until they showed the shot of the main character with his jilty animation.

I am still downloading it but so far it look awesome.
Btw Joystiq has You Tube along with several other links.Here the link if anyone is having trouble downloading it from Rockstar site directly.

Edit- I done downloading it. Look beautiful except for the main character. He look ugly as Hell. I some what dissapointed the game takes place in Liberty City again. I expected London or Tokyo.

It's not particularly revealing, but it sure does look pretty, and it being set in New York shuld be fun.

Don't you mean Liberty City? ::winkwink::

Indeed it looks lovely. Main character does look goofy. lol

Dude, Eastern European protagonist.
That's at least 11 secret flavors of awesome.

I THOUGHT THIS THREAD WAS ABOUT SUPER PAPER MARIO!

Oh GTA IV. You know, I never played any of the GTA games. The general atmosphere of the games don't really compel me to rush out and try them. Though I probably won't hate it seeing I'm fine with sandbox style of gameplay.

If you are talking about popularity and saleswise, then you are far from correct.

I meant in terms of game quality, really. Pokmon sells like Sonic sells 😯

As for the trailer, I think this looks damn cool. I have no gripes over the main character, and digital recreation of New York (Liberty, sorry.) looks awesome. I wonder if this will take place in the same/similar time frame as the GTA3 series, or whether it'll be a new plot entirely.

Speaking of the GTA3 series, I wonder if we can expect to see the increases in gameplay, graphics etc from sequel to sequel pass from GTA3 to GTA4...

Russian guy with possible mafia far more appealing than silly gangsta nonsense.
May be the first in the series I take an interest in. We'll see.

A new GTA with better graphics, a larger city (most likely), and the coolest main character yet. Sounds awesome. =D

I know I should be impressed.

But I'm not, really.

Main character looks waaay too gritty to actually be a main character, he seem to lack that sort of charisma. Sure, the graphics of New York City look stunning.

But it's still lacking something.

*Will rent.*

New GTA IV info released. Not sure I like the fact that they're taking planes out of the game, following GTASA they made planes just plain fun - bombing about in the harrier came something of a past time for me (or, failing that, turning on the flying cars trick and using one with Nitro. Man, they went fast.) Also, I'm slightly concerned about this 'less linearity' thing - of course, it's always nice not to play the game in one straight line, but I don't want to think I'll have to play through the game all over again to experience a different story that happens about half way through that I missed out on last time.

I also find it odd that the downloadable, episodic content is slated as '360 exclusive' - I'd have thought downloadable patches were possible on the PS3?

I bet the exclusion of planes is really all about not allowing people to fly and crash planes around a New York-like city, so people can't recreate a 9-11 in their own homes. GTA is already pretty controversial without that. Still, it's a shame.

Even odder is the fact that Game Informer scans only show the 360 version.Which makes me wonder if the PS3 version might get delay.

I find it totally awesome that the protagonist has the same name as I (Niko).

GTA IV to have 16-player multiplayer, and possibly a fully unlocked world from the start.

LMAO!

Grand Theft Auto... I had forgotten about this game amidst the hype of... damn near everything. So much epic news as of late. But hey, its good to know that this game still exists and will most likely be mad crazy awesome.
