Rockstar Games have just released the second official trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV!
Grab it from the official site, Yahoo! or YouTube while you can. Direct links to the trailer files including the HD version can be found on our trailers page.
The trailer shows more gameplay and animation; including speech, driving and weapons fire - the characters also appear to have fingers for the first time. Some of the new effects include Niko holding onto the back of a truck, and hanging from the skids of a helicopter. Also, some of the trees in the trailer appear to be brown, another indicator that seasons will play a part. Reflections can also be seen, including in a wing mirror.
Several references to previous GTA games can be seen, including a Binco clothes shop and graffiti of El Burro. A remodelled Stallion can also be seen being driven in the trailer.
All footage in this trailer is captured in real-time on a next generation gaming console, so it is a true indicator of what playing GTA IV will be like. It is running on R.A.G.E. (Rockstar Advanced Game Engine) using Euphoria - a fully procedural animation package created by NaturalMotion. As we found out yesterday, the song in this trailer is by New York City based band The Boggs and is titled "Arm In Arm (Shy Child Remix)"
A transcription of the trailer is available on Grand Theft Wiki. You can also discuss this trailer in our forums. A total of 50 screen captures have been uploaded, see them here.
Stay tuned!
yay i've seen it yeahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad to see the Clover has returned.
we're all looking for that special someone
Yahoo is fine, only R* server is down right now.
Just saw it too. a few secs after release.. on the original R* server.
It defenetly looks like there has been some changes. Lots of it though looks like cutscenes.
The view from inside the car getting a few bulletholes in the front window for instance.
And the cellphone most certainly has an importance.
A bit sad that it will be a game of finding your place rather than rising as a mafia boss ( yes i was a bigger fan of VC than SA )
Sweet! Saw it on Yahoo. Some details were awesome! Like those bullet holes in windshield .
aah, you guys are stupid enough to try to watch it right now, try like me, watch it after you guys(kidding)
but seriously, i didn't watch it now. the longer i hold, the easier it gets to watch it
i mean the site could be crashes right now, or maybe my connection will be down instantly
either way i'll get pissed off, so i think i'll hold
i think you could hear romans voice cause someone says "dont do anything stupid cousin"
Goddamn, just watched the trailer and it's everything I wanted and much more! It gave you lots of gameplay footage, mission previews, insights into the street life, in short - it's amazing. When is the trailer going to be up for download, Chris?
Gimme I NEED TO DOWNLOAD. NEED YOUTUBE POPULARITY!!
HOLY SHIT! New GTA Stunting!~ Epic!
Niko goes through a checkpoint, I wonder where is that at?? It looks like the border of Canada (I doubt it)? Looks like there is standoffs also, in the trailer it looks like the police are all over the church and waiting..... I can't wait for this game....
The Video is Great, He is looking for someone, but it doesn't say who? Maybe its Roman??
Theres a Police chase, and the Swat look way better and much realistic, the 1st Bike is there. The cops look way Smarter
10/10 Video
the Video is running great, I watch it at 11:59am EST
it looks badass when niko is walkin down the street and the background is changin
Gycu LINK DOWN!!! GIMME A NEW 1!
im the one who survived, i wonder what that means
pause it on 24-23 and theres a guy fighting in the basketball courts lol
im the one who survived, i wonder what that means
Yugoslavian war...maybe...
kool i just saw a binco store
niko's phone looks like a sidekick 3
O M G

Now thats what i wanted to see in SA! Finally EDIT: meaning his fingers are detached
Larger video guys: 1280x720.wmv
A smoker
A second? Every frame would be good, cause the scene where the smoker appears is like 1.5 sec. Anyway he drives a stallion
Larger video guys: 1280x720.wmv
Thats the first trailer.
Ive seen this guy before (GTA3 btw)
lol one guy kicks another (basketball yey )
"Dont do anything stupid cousin" Roman lol
Thanks for puttng the trailer up, I know Jared meant to do it LOL but he posted the wrong one - this'll go straight onto my iPod
I saw a Binco shop, a Sprunk advertisment and 2 cars with opened trunks.
EDIT: that cell phone in his hand in the end looks HUGE! Too big for 2007. btw I like your avatar Bossman
That new stly stallionn owned..... a reflectio of the trailer overall, that was awesome..... OH YEAH!
Now thats what i wanted to see in SA! Finally EDIT: meaning his fingers are detached
What about GTA 3?
Close enough. May not be all five fingers, but be lucky it ain't one.
Wow, forgot about that, and thats not from cutscenes cause in GTA3 vc and SA cutscenes all characters had a glove-like hands. I remember that in GTA3 he did this hand sign when a car was about to run him over, but yeah thats as far as it goes, 2 fingers.
his phone looks like an iphone or sidekick 3
The reflection changes but looks like the mirror doesnt reflect everything - wheres the sky and stuff? Its not a tunnel hes driving through its just a bridge with some metal construction over it.
Hey! where can I download it? Is it up on google video yet? I wanna download the MP4 so I can put it on my PSP.
There is only 1 thing that I'm worried about... I read somewhere that when you are driving a car, you'll only be able to look out through the windshield over the hood.... I don't want that... I want my 4 camera angles while driving .... Close, Closer, First Person, and Helicopter view... I want to be able to see my damn car when I'm driving, all of it... That part is just takin the realism way too far.. Someone tell me I'm lying or that I heard different, because I really am worried about this

The game is'nt done yet. Not every thing will be running perfect right now. Sharp eye though.

Thats not true... Whoever said that is obviously a moron. In the trailer that are some gameplay shots of Niko driving, and its not in first person view.
Is there any links to both trailers converted for iPod? The program I have doesn't seem to want to convert them...

I really hope they still have the original driving views in there, because i like to see my cars backend slide when i hand brake and so much more details and stuff I'd like to be able to view... First person driving never impresses me, it's too boring... If I wanted to look out over a hood while driving i'd jump into my own vehicle... But thanks for that bit of hope Andrew... It raised my spirits a bit... The new trailer rocked ass and I can't wait for the game
In GTA III, that little backwards peace sign means gently caress off in Britin, Englend or some where like that. Be looking at that you can also tell that the majority of the game was made over there.
Well I guess I'm late, but the trailer is very nice!!! Excellent!!!
But I get some felling that his cousin work for LCPD.

If Roman is that guy seen in trailer (smashing the door with Niko), he does look kinda shaky.

What program do you have? 3GP or what?

fatalgamer, WinAVI MP4 Converter. I don't know if the files too big and I need to split it or what...
@ MrLlama, shut up, it won't let me
Wow dont get pissed guys over a small thing like this. Look fore some freewares on www.download.com to convert or hit me up on MSNM (check my profile for details) later if you still have difficulties.

It has to be an optomised MP4 but the ones on the GTA IV site don't work very good. I don't think it even gives an open/save opion with a loading bar. It think you just gotta sit there till it gets done. That does'nt work for me, cause I have freakin dail-up. I need to see the progress.

Quit yo' bitchin' It works fine.... If not, use 3gp converyer or something like that, don't frolicking have a cow at me cos i treied to help. gently caress you, last time i give you advice.dick.
I was able to get onto the official site at exactly 12:00(EST) to watch it while I was at work. I was really surprised that I got it up so fast. I liked this trailer a lot more than the first.
I think that guy could be Roman too, he says Don't do anything stupid cousin so he does sounds a bit faggish and Nico is all mad at the same guy first shot you see them.
The other thing I want too know, Who is that black guy pointing something at Nico and saying You want my word, you got my word..?
Edit: I think he says: I'm the one who survives to the same guy (probably Nico)
You know how peolle said the 2nd screen shot R* released looked like a bank. Look at the trailer. after the quote 'dont do anything stupid' the cops are swarming a bank, the bank of liberty. Sorry, had to get this out, so the post was a little rushed:P
Ok so I tried watching at R* but it went laggy so I got bored and pressed pause and randomly put the thingie somewhere to get a new screenie thing (the search timer indicator), and I got this screen
Wtf is this? Lol
Edit: Nvm I see it now it's that door getting bashed when they zoom it in at the start

Is it becuse it has actual gameplay? That's what made me like it so much. I like the fact that it shows some driving, shooting, hints a at the story and missions and a little stealthy element. Like when he is sneaking around peaking around corners with his gun drawn and such. Yeah, it's cool. REALLY COOL!!!!
yea i saw that. really real. it poses the question to me that if it is so real is it real enough to include graffiti writers? maybe you can see them in back alleys at night. it would be cool.
for the first time the game might have actual youths instead of the age limit of 20+ like in the previous game.
the characters also appear to have fingers for the first time.
There were fingers in Vice City Stories, but they were really noticeable in cutscenes.
Anyway, it was better than the 1st trailer, definitely. It seems the Stallion, Sabre, and motorcycles are back too.

Speaking of motorcycles. Do you think he puts that helmet on when he goes to ride on a motorcycle or do you think it's something you buy?
First of all, that's not a Sabre. Good guess, though. Sabres and Clovers look alike. There's some badges that probably say Clover on the blue car Niko drives, but I'm not too sure. But the hood is a dead giveaway. Now, what's the name of the bike Niko is riding? Or the Blackhawk-esque helicopter he's holding onto?
EDIT: I'm a fuckin' idiot. Looking closely at the trailer on a bigger screen, yeah. That is a Stallion. Whoops. At least the Maverick returned.

Maybe the motorcycles have the helmets on the back or something and he can put it on.. Or he jacked the bike and stole the persons helmet too. Since they won't be needing it anymore.

Fine - howabout "real hands for the first time" since it will be the first time they've been used to this extent?
lol yay, now we can pick his nose!
lol yay, now we can pick his nose!
It'd be pretty funny if there were an option like that.
shouldn't chris make a poll in the front about the impression of the 2nd trailer?

I've been meaning to change that for a while now, couldn't ever think of a relevant question...
Well we have gone over the limit for internet. And the trailer wont load probably . Ill have to wait till next month now. Crud
Cheer up, it's only a few days away
But yeah that must suck, upgrade to a plan without download limits
LOL
yeah only 2 more sleeps. This is the first time its happended in years and i think we got around 10-12 gigs so im wondering how it all went??? <__>. Lol and i get accused for the downloads. And what make it worse is that everyone says its great...Only more tempting.
he said "diddley daddle" lol wtf does that mean
Does Niko say "I guarantee that you will find this man" or "I guarantee that we will find this man" - it doesn't make sense to me how you could guarantee to someone what they would do (although you could enforce it, you wouldn't say it like that), but it does sound like "you".
See: Transcription
I hear 'You will' but I think 'We will' because in the next scene you see Niko + Possibly Roman walking through a hall way and then kicking a door. And it would be more logic if it is 'we' because Niko came to LC thinking he would live the perfect life and then he will hear Roman is in trouble and he is going to help him..
Have you guys started to break the trailer down yet, analysing it in detail? Jordan from PlanetGrandTheftAuto has started to do a breakdown of it, but he's only done 19 out of the 50 screens so far, so it's still a work in progress:

A mate of mine worked on one at RsW which I'll be updating with some new content soon, apart from that most of TGTAP's dissection has taken place in this very topic.
