Quantcast



As we patiently wait for the Internet to completely explode over the new Grand Theft Auto IV trailer that will go live tomorrow, Rockstar sent us some new screenshots to keep you from wetting yourselves in anticipation. 

In these new shots we see GTA IV's anti-hero Niko Bellic in his natural habitat. Like many New Yorkers (or Liberty City residents, as the case may be), Niko enjoys long jogs, chatting on the phone, and enjoying the various sights of the city. He also enjoys blowing up cars, hanging off of moving vehicles, and shooting bald dudes in the face. He hates bald guys.

Be sure to check back tomorrow when the trailer goes live, and hopefully we'll get even more insight into the exciting life of our favorite favorite import, Mr. Bellic

im excited about Niko being from eastern Europe but ive heard more than one person in my store complain about it (gamestop) it might be because i work in a town with a high population of Russians, and these asshats are just racist.

I'm still unimpressed with the character models in most console games today, GTA IV included.

Screen #5 has the protagonist running away from the police (set up in the street behind him) but also features what I would call an homage to Cell Phone Addicted Idiots. To the right (our left) and behind the the protagonist is a guy running and talking on the cell phone.

Why did you guys tag your images like IGN? I'm not really complaining (kind of) but I'm curious since I don't recall you doing this before and it looked so much better without that.

Looking good. Except for the tags. Seriously, tags FTL.

I didn't realize people were going to hate on the tags. We've tagged images for quite some time now. The reason? Who wants another Web site jacking images we receive from Rockstar? We sure don't.

I'd like a more subtle way to tag our screens. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!

The tags look really bad. I haven't seen them on anything else or I would have noticed...I must have missed those posts. The font is small, blurry and red. I can whip something up when I get home if you want that I think looks better...not sure if you guys care what I think though. :)

Dear R*,

I've actually stopped looking forward to this game. Don't worry, it's probably just because I've got so many other great games to play right now. I'm sure I'll be craving it by the time it comes out.

<3, Buck
