GTA IV trailer screencaps and analysis (56k warning)

Took these myself, and thought it'd be fun to share. Added comments beneath the screens.

View of Liberty City.

"We're all looking for that 'special someone.'"

Niko in the kitchen, 'bout to cook up some dinner. Small details: vegetables laying around, pots and pans hanging on the walls. Note that there will be no load times when traversing between interiors and exteriors in GTA IV.

Bustin' in. Wood chips on the door splinter off as Niko kicks it in. This hints at object-specific environmental damage (i.e. wood will splinter like wood, metal will bend like metal).

Nice lighting on the helicopter

Cop character models seem more diverse this time. Their uniforms are also more detailed.

New character?

Niko about to taste the box cutter

lol @ the dude getting his *** kicked in the garbage can

Notice how Niko's eyes scan back and forth as he walks down the street. This level of detail would have been very difficult to implement in last gen GTA's.

Check out the sparks and vehicular damage as the car gets ripped up. Bullets leave holes on car exteriors this time.

Looks like an AK47 to me. You can barely make out the curved clip.

I don't know where you're going dude, but it's a long way down...

Hanging off rear bumpers and helicopters? Crazy. I wonder if this is just a cut-scene or if it will be an in-game mechanic.

Shakin' up some pansy. Notice the skin's glow as the sun radiates onto it.

Another close-up

Bullet damage on the windshield. Does this shot hint at an in-car dash view a la PGR3?

Sweet ride 8)

Notice the detail of the car's brand located on the front. Note also the changes in color tone from the previous shots.

Bike helmets = 8) The bike itself looks like an updated model of the PCJ from Vice City

The diving-out-of-the-car mechanic will make a comeback.

Apparently gas stations will explode if you ram into them this time around.

The iPhone? Rockstar has said that in GTA IV, you will be taking more control over your mission choices. Instead of going to people and receiving calls all the time, you will be calling them.

Much more impressed with this latest trailer, but I guess that was to be expected. I imagine the trailers will get progressively more action packed, showing off more of the actual game. Good show!!

nice post

Thanks for even more pics. I got to see the trailer last night on TV. Pretty good.

But I still hate the look of the graphics.

I like how the world really seems to be alive now. With lots of little detail.

I just hope they don't put the old gun sound effects and other old annoying things in this GTA. It looks like the ugly yellow stream of laser fire is still in there (bullets).

Can't wait.

looks cool 2 bad we cant fly the coptersolidgamer

I believe they only meant fixed-wing aircraft in order to prevent the recreation of 911.

Hanging off rear bumpers and helicopters? Crazy. I wonder if this is just a cut-scene or if it will be an in-game mechanic.

Thats a Stallion, the car in previous GTA's. if you pause the trailer right when the show the back of the car you can see the word "STALLION" across the back above the license plate.

That would be cool. They need slightly more detailed car bits. Not more realistic, though. I like that I can flip my car and keep going. And going. And going.Jandurin

I hope they let you customise your car and bullet proof it. Not just change the paint to avoid the cops.

Maybe have a system like Saints Row. Store a car and keep it forever.

there've always been bulletproof rides in GTA's. You just have to steal them from certain people.
