Its about a minute long. We see the main character, a coloured russian mobster who looks like Jean Reno (Leon) Its actually set in a real life version of New York. (Liberty city was a fictional city based on NY)

It shows very nice visuals, real time lighting and shadows, higly detailed pedestrian activity, some landmakr buildings, the lot.

Very impressive.

it says Liberteen so was just a sign i think!

defo new york though, looks good but i wonder if any of that is in game footage and not the start story bit!

 

[samg1988]

is liberteen not the liberty city newspaper tho?

 

[Geddes]

I've got a blank screen still, the pics look amazing it does look like new york can't wait to buy it

Not sure it looks pants. I think it looks great..much more detail than before and the frame rate is 100% better than the jerky old engine. The story bits were always ingame engine so I reckon it will look like that in game...I'll definatley be buying this!

[ifigureditout]

wasn't liberty city just based on new york anyway....

so looks like it could be liberty city again i think

 

[Andy]

Ooooooo s**t. That looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. Hopefully the environment will be destructible .

 

[Brad182]

Looks Class, can't wait to play it...

 

[Dafthead]

I'll definitely be buying it, get so much play out of the GTA games, well worth it

 

[Scutch]

This is going to be HUGE. :approve:

I think it looks superb. The rumour I suggested was correct, New York City. Its alleged that you can go in most of the buildings too, which must have took some time to map and plan out. How long does it take in reality to get from one end of New York to the other? I'm pretty sure it will be accurate in the game. More trailers needed!

 

[Scutch]

Double Post.

eyy?!!...could it look any more like new york?!! statue of liberty, time square, grand central...

 

[Clart]

Its not overly impressive dude. The graphics etc look spot on, I mean the trailer as a whole. Only just over a minute long, and only seems to be story footage, rather than in game.
The game itself, however, from what was shown on the trailer, looks to be another cracker :approve:

Gamespot Update :

After weeks of anticipation, the trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV has premiered on the game's official Web site. The preview, which can also be downloaded below, offers millions their first glimpse of the eagerly awaited game--and some clues about its setting and characters.

At first glance, the trailer, titled "Things Will Be Different," shows what appears to be New York City. Landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and the Brooklyn Bridge are all clearly shown in vivid detail, thanks to the new RAGE graphics engine, which was previously used in Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis.

However, the devil is in the details, and a closer look at the trailer appears to indicate that it is set in a totally revamped version of Liberty City. A ship registered to Liberty City is shown docked at a wharf. A derelict "Liberty Ferry" is shown, as is a skyscraper with the logo "Liberteen" in front of it. During a shot of a Times Square-like plaza, a sign for the Liberty Tree newspaper can be seen, as can a small banner that appears to say "Welcome to Liberty City."

When questioned by GameSpot, a Rockstar rep played coy. "We would like to let the trailer speak for itself," he said. "However, we can confirm that all footage in the trailer 'Things Will Be Different' was captured directly from 720p gameplay running real time in our RAGE engine on a next-gen gaming console." The latter comments make it unclear if the trailer is for the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 version of the game.

One thing that is clearly present in "Things Will Be Different" is the series' traditional wicked humor. Re-creations of various landmarks had parody names, including the MetLife Building, which sports a giant "GetaLife" logo. The Times Square replica contains a movie poster for the fictional film I Slept With Your Mom and a billboard for Top Hooker, an apparent parody of reality show America's Next Top Model. The trailer also shows that several faux brands from San Andreas will return, including Sprunk, Cluckin' Bell Chicken, and BurgerShot.

The trailer closes by introducing what could be Grand Theft Auto IV's protagonist. A swarthy man with short black hair and a beard is shown in close-up looking around. "Life is complicated," a voice-over says with a pronounced accent, possibly Eastern European. "I've killed people, smuggled people, sold people," the voice continues, "perhaps, here things will be different." Given the series' signature violence, that prospect appears unlikely.
