The countdown says 9h for me. :lol

Since the XBL marketplace stuff is 10am pst, I think it is safe to assume that the counter is for 9am pst.

For those hoping the "OMG EXCLUSIVE ON YAHOO" interview with Dan Houser would give us new info, prepare to be disappointed:

http://videogames.yahoo.com/xbox360/grand-theft-auto-iv/preview-520443

Seriously. I didn't know about this, though:

Niko claims to have left Europe simply for the adventure of America, but he is also looking for someone... and running away from some recent mistakes.

Intriguing.

Me too, my friend is taking this countdown as religion and is just going to make a fool out of himself.

Their video quality sucks though...

 

[kassatsu]

Guys it is based off the clock on your computer... it launches at 9am pst.

US: 12 PM EDT
Europe: 6PM
UK: 5PM

Xbox Live Marketplace will get the trailer either at the same time, or one hour later.

 

[kassatsu]

The counter resets to a countdown to the game launch after the timer runs out.

Mine says 36 minutes to go (in Sydney) :lol

Nice of them to write a script that assumes you're living in NYC

Thanks for the info about the time - and that's awesome that XBLM is getting the trailer as soon as it comes online again!

EDIT: AND free theme with pics that are also possibly free? This is why I love XBLM...

 

[Zombie James]

Alright, 12pm EST.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Alright, 12pm EST.

Really? Perfect timing for when I get off of work.

Everyone: Don't break the internet for me.

Don't break it for me then -_-

 

[gimmmick]

So.... wheres the trailer?

 

[rollingstart]

i should sleep now to wake up on time, but so conflicted to play games instead.

I kinda too want to be awake when the trailer goes live...

I remember for the last one, it took 45 minutes after the time just to download, and it was going so slow that it took another hour to download, I remember durring that time I dashed out my room and ran to the nearest place to buy dinner, which happend to be a bad chinese place, then I ran back up and it was still another 40 minutes. Sometimes its better to wait for the initial surge to be done.

Yeah... but I don't think it will be as bad this time. Last time I skipped the surge because I knew it would be bad... this time... I have a feeling it won't be too bad.

From the Yahoo civilian interviews:
"I like the ice cream truck, with the clown on top"

Mmm did I miss something in GTA or did he basically just praise Twisted Metal instead?

New Screens?

edit: nvm saw them on the last page

 

[Jel0man]

The music that will be used in the second trailer is: The Boggs with "Arm in Arm".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCmkrR3dVUc

"The new trailer is scored with "Arm In Arm (Shy Child Remix)" by New York City-based band The Boggs. The idea was to show a real street-level view of Rockstar's version of the city with a band that belongs there...

...While Rockstar is reluctant to discuss the details, time is a big factor in GTA IV. The new trailer indicates in subtle ways how the passage of time might affect the game, and there are clues that indicate some missions, or mission elements, might be time-specific."

I just want to see some meat.

if the hand to hand and meele animation is above pathetic

if shooting mechanics really are something more then holding R1 and tapping R2, L2.


Just no more fly by's ffs.

 

[luffeN]

sry for "my" mistake yesterday, the trailer will be available at 7 pm gmt +1...

we got a new press release stating that there was a miscalculation concerning the time conversion..

 

[Stat Flow]

Oh, new Picture Pack and Theme for download on the XBLM for free are up.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Oh, new Picture Pack and Theme for download on the XBLM for free are up.

just grabbed em

...and they're excellent to boot!

 

[painey]

i got the IV logo as my new gamerpic.. first time ive changed it in a long while

 

[SapientWolf]

Oh, new Picture Pack and Theme for download on the XBLM for free are up.

Hooray. Because I don't think I'll ever pay for one (except maybe to help out the indie devs, like The Behemoth).

 

[HomShaBom]

I hope I get home from work in time for the chaos.

 

[guise]

Hopefully the internet doesnt collapse tonight, i mean at least now people have seen the game so hype isnt as ramant as with the last trailer, fingers crossed the demand on servers wont be so high this time.

 

[BlueTsunami]

4 Hours bitches! YEOW!!! I'll probably be asleep though (3rd shift)

I hope its just not a video of the cityscape changing from Night to Day. The music sounds badass, I can imagine Niko walking around NY to it and various scenes of character interaction within the game (no voices just overlayed with the music).

DAN HOUSER'S BALLS, I WANT TO TOUCH THEM

 

[buckfutter]

Is it really only 4 hours to go? I'm totally confused by all the screw ups with the countdown.

 

[rollingstart]

right now it should be exactly 4 hours, give or take a few seconds.

so, we go to the yahoo site link or the rockstar one for the trailer?

 

[evlcookie]

4 more hours would make it 2am (AUS) time. I aint staying up that long to then wait another hr while the internet crashes.

If this thread isnt 15 pages long by the time i wake up, something went wrong.

 

[brandonh83]

I seriously just woke up in excitement, and I never wake up at 8am during summer break. :lol

I do think I could sleep another couple of hours though... later bitches.

 

[M3wThr33]

Well, I think I'll sleep now...
That way when I wake up the Internet won't be DEAD.

 

[nelkon and parker]

Friggin awsome, this shit will be on live when I get back from work. YEA BOI

 

[Buttonbasher]

If Red vs. Blue episode 100 broke the internet last night, I'm getting worried...
