@-MoarPlz-: Nevermind, the video works now. I personally don't give a shit about ruining it for myself. It's only a GTA game for God's sake. They've not exactly been known for their deep and thrilling stories, more so for zooming around the countryside on a motorbike and listening to Depache Mode... :)

@thekoopatrooper: I was thinking the same thing, until I watched. Skip the intro, go right to the gameplay.

It's like eating ice cream before dinner. Sure, you may eat less meatloaf, but you got ICE CREAM!

The video isn't down, it's playing fine for me. Maybe it's been put back up since you guys said it was down.

Anyway, looks great but I only watched a bit and then skipped to the gameplay. I'd rather watch it in full quality :-)

drivenstorm — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 11:34:17 MDT

I watched a flv of this. I'll probably play the game but nothing that I'll experience will be "spoiled" by merely watching it first.
I think my relaxed attitude is due to being older than the average Kotakuite. Some things just don't matter after a while.

If you've watched the beginning of the Blues Brothers with Elwood picking up Jake you will have a good idea what's contained in this clip.

Check out the gameplay footage, though, instead of the intro footage.

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.

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.

I love how in the transition to the next-gen GTA, they improved the graphics, but it completely retains the GTA style, even more so now

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).

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

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

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 like the blue screen of...disclaimers. I want to click, but I won't. I've really avoided details on GTAIV so far, so to ruin something this late in the game would be a bit dumb.
