Niko wears a helmet while riding the bike now. Nice touch.

 

[Zenith]

I ask this question again; how does GTA4 graphically shit all over nearly every other game out there yet it's far larger in scale then said games?

it doesn't. question answered.

 

[jet1911]

I will kick your balls for what you've done.

And what's all this crazy talk about Euphoria physics? If this is true there will be no reason to play another game EVER. Hitting people with cars will never be the same.

Have you played Saint's Row?

 

[Razoric]

Have you played Saint's Row?

You mean the game where you tap into someone, they go flying away and have the weight of a feather?

 

[kylej]

Ragdoll is not the same as Euphoria.

 

[X26]

Cars too. Sometimes you'd be in a small sedan or whatever and hit a much larger car and that car would go flying. It was a surprisingly good game, but defidently broken in a lot of areas.

I AM THE ONE WHO SURRVIFT!!!

Niko's starting to grow on me and I was glad to see him on what seems like the new PCJ edition. They were making it sound like he wouldn't hop on anything but a chopper.

 

[p3tran]

wow for euphoria!
if a game should try to use it, gta would be my wish for it.
I think that rockstar has all the prerequisite qualities to make awesome use of this beautiful engine.

 

[John Dunbar]

Could have used some age variation, but looking pretty good overall.

 

[MercuryLS]

A little reminder of what Euphoria brings to this game:

I can't wait to play GTA4. It's going to be revolutionary.

 

[starchild excalibur]

Awesome, awesome trailer. Totally gets me psyched. R* once again shows they know how to put it down not only in the gameplay department, but also in the music one as well.

Did anyone else notice the guy on the phone at the end sounded awfully similar to Donald Love?

 

[BlueTsunami]

Euphoria!

Props to R* for implementing it into their game!

 

[buckfutter]

You're the second person to say that - I don't hear it myself, but I've got my fingers crossed. We need more Kyle MacLachlan in our games.

 

[ice cream]

I thought it sounded like Samuel L. Jackson .... weird .... :S

No, I said it was Clancy Brown.

 

[buckfutter]

No, I said it was Clancy Brown.

Someone other than you.

DONALD LOVES VOICE AT THE END???

I may be in love with you, Benjamin, but my world does not revolve around you.

 

[knkng]

Wow, I really think this game will have a great storyline. I'm already more interested in this game's story after only seeing the trailer, as opposed to San Andreas which was just terrible. The mood and atmosphere created here is also exceptionally well done (especially for a GTA game). Good stuff.

BTW, Xbox 360 cellphone confirmed?

 

[jetjevons]

Looks stupidly great.

Hope the main story is like 20 quality hours and not 80 diluted hours.

 

[starchild excalibur]

I went through all the threads and searched 'donald' before posting that, but found nothing. >;\

:lol

Oh, I didn't mean the other person was me, I only meant that I was right.

Same here

20 Hours of the main story (as you stated)

and lots and lots of side missions that allows a "Rags to Riches" scenario (like in past GTAs)

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Humn, the graphics aren`t as nice as in the last trailer (Which we can now see was pre-rendered) and the framerate sucks monkey balls (Hey, it wouldn`t be GTA without a crappy framerate!) but the helicopter action looked cool!

Personally, I`d rather have a graphics downgrade and a smoother framerate but hey, that`s just me!

 

[disappeared]

Anyone complaining about the visuals should first consider that this game is going to be ridiculously massive in scale and has no load times whatsoever.

Regardless, the characters still look great.

what?

 

[newsguy]

Have you played Saint's Row?

Yes and I enjoyed it. But Euphoria is not Havok, it's on a whole new plane.

I know but when you'll run over people I don't think they'll react that differently than in SR

Someone in the industry told me that animations take up a great deal of time, money and disk space. Procedural animation systems like Euphoria can free up resources that can be used on other parts of the game.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Sorry, I meant that it was pre-rendered with ingame assets. Now with this trailer it`s running in real time which is why the framerate sucks, even with the graphics downgrade.

I don't think we can save this one...he's too far gone.

 

[Zombie James]

True, but it's way more processor intensive than just playing back an animation. Its definitely a give and take thing.

 

[Humphrey Bogart]

is this game still being made in europe?

 

[buckfutter]

True, but it's way more processor intensive than just playing back an animation. Its definitely a give and take thing.

Plus it takes a huge amount of effort to make the results look right when you have a lot of forces/percepts acting upon the characters. SotC and GTAIV appear to be excellent examples, whereas Uncharted and that Star Wars game are promising but clearly need more work to appear seamless.

 

[RiskyChris]

I'm going to conveniently ignore the framerate dips in that trailer. Rockstar, don't let me down.

 

[newsguy]

True, but it's way more processor intensive than just playing back an animation. Its definitely a give and take thing.

I feel like once these physics are implemented properly (I'm sure there will be some bugs in the first few games they're implemented in) it will be a large step forward for games. Many genres can benefit from it, and it will revolutionize sports games.

Will Lazlow make a return?

I've been saying that for years. EA doesn't read GAF, obviously.

I really thought we would be getting Half Life 2 style physics in the majority of next-gen games... but alas we barely have any games with the good realistic physics.

Makes me sad.

I hope so.

_Leech_, I and others are the originators of this mentality on GAF

~*PHYSICS DEFENSE FORCE*~

 

[buckfutter]

EA is too busy making piles of cash by releasing the same game over and over again to worry about revolutionizing anything.

 

[Deus Ex Machina]

I hope so.

Cosign.

 

[UncleGuito]

Amazing trailer, my hype for this just rose considerably.

 

[travisbickle]

Do people still say this shit?

 

[Nervous Hamster]

WOW, looks great! Do want.
