The full trailer of Rockstar's new next generation franchise is now up on Game Videos. The lighting looks spot on for this kind of noir title, though the music is curiously lifeless. Given how much amazing jazz is available from the period, available for practically free, I have hopes that this title is going to take a Grand Theft Auto style approach to licensing jazz and big band numbers from the 30's and 40's. Some Louis, some Duke, some John Kirby, some Jimmie Lunceford, some Peggy Lee, some Glenn Miller, some Django and Basie: now that would be an in-game radio playlist that would get this little jazz fan's wallet dry-heaving in anticipation of imminent regurgitation.
