Forumites across the Atlantic have been reporting that a GTA teaser trailer was shown from 2am to 2.30am EST on the FX channel's infomercial slot.
What's intriguing about the ad is the way it mimicked the holding page you see at the official site and then... well that's it. It did nothing else. According to those who saw it (insomniacs and night shift workers by the sound of it) it displayed the GTA IV logo and a countdown ticked away in the background. At the end of the half hour the usual 'Not Yet Rated' voice was heard and the trailer ended.
Rockstar Games in the UK have confirmed it was an official trailer but couldn't comment on whether a similar ad would appear on British TV. That's not going to stop us skipping through all the late night Sky channels at 3am in the morning just in case it shows up, though.
In the meantime, to get an idea of the experience, head over to the official site and see if you can stick it out for half an hour. And don't forget - to see the real trailer you'll need to be sat at your computer at 11pm UK time next Thursday. Cancel everything and be there. You know it'll be worth the wait.
As we have all been graced by the release of Grand Theft Auto 6's trailer, we're ranking the best and worst GTA trailers to date.
We be getting these posts All week now lads. Someone noticed a number plate ... Someone noticed a billboard... I can see it now
Just go on YouTube and watch one of the many videos dissecting the whole 1minite 30secs worth.
This site supposed to be for news.
These updates on N4G are going to ruin whats rest of this site. Unfortunate since I was one of the first members.. The site shows unsecure when i login as well.
Grand Theft Auto 4 is an important game for Rockstar, not least because it was the first title in the franchise to use the newly created RAGE engine.
There’s never a bad time to relive its magic, and with rumours of a potential Grand Theft Auto IV remaster making the rounds, why wouldn’t you?
Not really
Overrated
Boring
Liberty City despite being a reimagined version for the HD era lacked any variety
Lacked the GTA fun charm overall
Niko was bland compared to past protagonists like Tommy, CJ or Victor
Like hell it is. San Andreas was far better, much more fun and a better game overall.
Nah, it's a masterpiece in attention to detail and the amount of immersive systems at play. But it really isn't very fun, ESPECIALLY when compared to the previous games in the series. Like tons of things are just wonky and actively kneecap lots of experimentation, or is just lame. Like why do I take huge damage when falling into water, why can I only stand in very specific large trucks when they are moving but not smaller trucks and vehicles, why is the melee combat such a massive down grade from GTA SA and GTA IV, why is the euphoria nowhere near as reactive, why is being drunk using a rasterized animation of staggering rather than the far more entertaining euphoria GTAIV and RDR used when you were drunk, why do npc vehicles barely react to you popping there tires even at high speed, etc etc.
I've always loved playing around in GTA games world. Like the campaigns are great but the majority of my time was always spent just playing in the open world. Yet GTAV is the only game in the series I never really returned to after beating it, it just lacks that fun factor the others have, I spent more time in GTA SA remastered than GTAV
It's one of my least favourite GTA games. It's clunky, the ai is exploitable, it's far too long and the writing is absolutely awful.
if I had watched the whole thing thinking they'll show something good at any second... then BAM! "This game is not yet rated", next infomercial. I'd be uber pissed.
COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME
Wow that's great Rockstar are the greatest at playing games, just that ridiculous useless commercial got EVERYONES attention, that's all they gotta do...It's like when you go to the theater to see star wars and the second you hear that "Bum bum bum bum" you get all excited and start clapping like it's the greatest thing ever and nothings even on screen
up urs rockstar. This is total BS.....we wont put up with it.
ok. Take my 60 bucks and give me that crackrock, im start to itch
