now thats a GTA Intro.

I cant wait.

I cant wait

so tempting to click...

I can't bring myself to watch it.

Man oh man I can't wait to play this game. It's already paid for in full, and I am picking it up first day.

I should be able to play it sometime in mid-May. :(

NOT GOING TO WATCH.... arghhhhhh

It like a moth to the light.[granitegrok.com]

Great! Nice!

Cant wait!

This is torture! Do want!
Do not want to press link! *dies from exhaustion trying to resist clicking play*

Not going to watch it.

seems like the typical story of the immigrant with a bad past with the mob that wants a new life in another place but cant seems to let the past go, or trying to get a new life and just get sucked back in, just in another place.

I was tempted to watch it, but the terrible quality turned me away. I will wait to see it in person.

Seriously though, they could have piped it through a dvr of some kind instead of giving us a bad angle cam.

or revenge. w/e.

Heh, I got as far as the R* logo and had what is commonly known as an epiphany.

I'm resisting with all my might.
All my life I've given in to drugs, cheap liquor and easy sex, but this time I'm staying strong.

Can I get a witness?

@phatseejay: *grabs the defibrillator and tries to resurrect phatseejay *

Guys just skip through the vid until you see gameplay, then no story ruined. It looks very cool!

i just hope that the shooting mechanic is better.

<-- also stayed strong. It'll be all the sweeter when I finally see it on my shitty 27" SDTV.

@Cruithne: AMEN, SIR!! They might as well post a picture of a giant red button that says "DO NOT PUSH!!". All buttons are made to be pushed...... so difficult to resist.....

I was hoping for a 90 degree top down scene like the original, but not bad. It is nice to know that even though they let you beat hookers and kill random people, they are still against drunk driving.

Finally Sweeet PS3 Footage

Clicked on it but stopped it bout 30secs in, gonna wait to watch it when I get the game.

Also I love bush, why is that guy sorry for me? Oh he was talking about President Bush.

this was so boring, I started fast forwarding.

best part of the intro: the font/placement of the credits.

My anticipation for this game is astronomical

Wow.

I love being at my job, where they block all streaming video, when anxiously awaited video is released.

(yeah yeah, I should be working.)

GTAIV FTW and I hope I remember to watch this when I go home!

Man, opening credits are such spoilars.

WATCH OUT!!!

I clicked Play, then close browser for five times now...

wow, he has a illuminated stand for his wii.

Clicked play....stopped it with intention of waiting.....clicked play again....no, have to wait....clicked play again. Damnit!
Ok, I watched it all the way through.

want to click.... must resist... AHHH!!!
can we just delete this story. The temptation is about to get the best of me!

Mustn't watch... willpower fading...

If your conflicted it is literally just the opening credits to the first minute your driving thats it. so i say just enjoy it.

Im tempted to click................ wait "mind over matter". Ill wait. :)

Not watching it..I can wait(for a while at least)
Today is company porkchop/ribs day so I can stay occupied.

Pretty great intro.

I'm saving that for Tuesday. I've already read way more about GTA IV than I would have liked!

My brother's much stronger than I am. I've read nearly everything that's been posted on Kotaku....

WHAT THE HELL WHY DID YOU SPOIL THE INR FOR ME WITHOUT WARNING WTF!!!!

Kidding.

Looks amazing, I must say Im ridiculously excited to play this.

Looks pretty nice, and I'm glad they're changing it up a little with the main character. I'm a little surprised to see so many people refusing to watch, though. I didn't realize people played GTA for the story.

I was expecting more SHAZAM!

Ah well I suppose the experience will be better once I have my own copy when its released.

Once again please 360 version dont be fucking region locked x 100000000

Saw this earlier today, I LOVE IT.

Pay attention at the part where the car swerves and hits the parked car and light pole. You can see a guy getting out of his car, probably pissed off, no doubt.

Then the light pole falls right on top of him and his car - you can even hear his startled cry. Truly awesome.

@enewtabie: I do hope you arent eating while typing lol.

Ribs are not a keyboards friend. ;D

@Mr.SithNinja:

I want to hit play on that bad boy sooooo bad. Must..resist...

a nice intro, set in classic GTA style. Can't wait for this game!

Wait wait wait... are you telling me the PS3 Version got hacked too? I thought they wouldn't be able to duplicate bluray for a while?

To everyone so afraid of it ruining their GTA experience it's not THAT bad, story line wise

Just watch with the sound off. It's a cool intro but it didn't spoil anything for me.

After the part of the guy at the very beginning....I stopped it. If it starts out like this, I don't want to see any more until I can really devote myself to it (gawd is that funny).

@CaptLtrl: Meh its a GTA intro they all have been pretty average :P

Like this one

Not really a spoiler at all - intro's are for dweebs.
I wanna see full on game play - show me the money! - or at least someone kicking it out of a prossie!

I'm not watching that. I do need that game, though. Like, right friggin' now!!

@Witzbold:
Nah,I just feel sorry for anyone who hasn't ate Southern food..So...good.
But,it'll kill ya.

theres even more gameplay!! on youtube!!! check out my favourites on youtube! www.youtube.com/users/Maxilicious95

@Cruithne: TESTIFY!!!

Looks okay, but in a way just more of the same (and that's probably great for GTA fans, but as only a casual fan of the series it didn't really do anything for me). Definitely doesn't get me itching to open my wallet and make a $60 purchase. But I'll probably check it out when it hits $29.99 or less. The ONLY way I'd pay $60 is if I managed to score one of those face plates from GameCrazy at their midnight launch deal. And only then cuz I know I could eBay the plate for the price of the game and play the game for free.

LOVE the music. Like a synth sytle godfather. I had my hopes with the music on the official site and it looks like I won't be disappointed.

like anyone that watches here is not going to watch it when they get the game home. hah.

I dig the music. Or I did, until what's his face pulled up and started blaring his crap.

@okenny :): Its a legit disc. Someone either was able to purchase it early, or an employee took one home for "testing"

The last minute or so is gameplay - I skipped to that to avoid the intro. :)

@Maxilicious: Wow, I thought you were kidding.

Thanks! I'll watch all I can until Youtube pulls it down.

Head explode.

I just came...

I don't want to call it ruined just more exciting. The video and sound quality sucks but the intro is pretty good. Can't wait to pick this up at midnight.

Was the drunk Russian character the most obnoxious, over-the-top character ever put into a game or was that just me? By the end of the video he did more damage to my ears than Jar Jar Binks -- and that's saying something.

Before I watch this, how do we know this one is real?

All the videos have been taken off youtube for copyright infringement. Is this the best thing for Kotaku to be hosting a video you don't have the rights to host knowing full well Take 2 doesn't want this footage available until next week?

It seems like it could hurt your relationship with them and also lead to civil lawsuits since you are making a profit off having the video on your site because it increases readership. Just some food for thought.../overreacting.

gameplay damage physics more than introduction...someone make a news post out of this....

+ Watch video

I admit it... I was weak :(
