Here's the latest Grand Theft Auto IV trailer titled "Move up, Ladies." The trailer reveals a lot of the new characters and various gangs you'll be interacting with. We also get glimpses at the various story lines Niko will be getting involved in. The trailer is up for download on Xbox Live and you can download the Hi-Res version of this trailer over at Xbox's GTA IV page too.

This game just keeps getting better looking everytime a new trailer is released. What did you all think of the latest GTA IV trailer?

As I stated on BlueWolf's clog about this:

I sorta like what I see, but fear that the series has lost its level of humor and style.

I think it would have been much more fitting for the game to try and go for a look more akin to the cover art of the games rather than this realistic look. The characters do not look nearly realistic enough for me to suspend belief at this point. They should have embraced the style and caricature-ish nature of the titles and made everything much less "real" 'cause to me... this looks like a True Crime game, and that's not a compliment.

Hmm pretty impressive, gives a nice layout of the story. I thought it was going to be another 30 second quicky.

Meh

It looks good but I know the same thing will happen to me with every GTA game I get:

I'll buy it, play for a week, and never play it again.

Looks like a bunch of old GTA models that swam through bacon grease.

What happened? It looked like it was going to be different?

Dear Rockstar,

In the future, please place footage in your trailers that makes the game look finished and polished. Thank you.

Warm regards,

if they have decent controls, then i might look at it but if its the regular fucked up GTA controllers, then no

but it looks pretty, but don't most trailers look good?

wow this game is getting more realistic and serious. its almost scary. i can hear jack thompson and his army of parents charging in the distance (its never their fault). i call game of the year on this one. system seller for me.

I can hardly tell good graphics from bad ones, but the ones in this trailer still look off. Trailer itself was awesome though, I wonder what movie this game is based off of.

I think I'm going to skip this one, even though I freaking love gta, it seems to be taking itself way too seriously, and not being funny at all. I don't care if the graphics look more realistic, the story should get so far up it's own asshole.

Looks like Niko is Russian after all since theres Russian rap playing in the background. Or I guess he could be working with Russians a lot.
But the trailer looked decent, but the graphics looked like they could use some more polish. But if the gameplay is good no one is gonna care right? (No, because pretty much everyone is a graphics whore)

As far as trailers go it was decent, all cutscene from the looks of it. Gave a little more info about the storyline. I know I'll pick this up either way but overall it was a little underwhelming.

Can't wait to find out where Niko is from. I do hope that we see some gameplay sometime soon just to see the HUD but I can't wait for the game to get dropped, looks fun as hell.

talk all you want about character models and crap graphics, but THAT'S GTA: weird flailing claw-hands.. the explosions and detailing overall look great, but zoomed in they look odd, like towards the beginning when it shows zoom in of the cardoor and passenger window, like the metal is stone or soemthing, gritty looking and not smooth like car metal..

once i get my 360, i will buy this game. i still play San Andreas just to drive around listening to custom soundtrack. haven't played the story in over a year though. haha.

game looks to be able to entertain me. for what i use GTA for, anyway.

Game of the year, 2008. And to those saying that it's taking itself too seriously, how do you know? I saw hints of humor. Especially at the end. I'm sure as hell that they'll not get rid of the funny radio stations.

And what's wrong with a little more seriousness? What sandbox game has that? If anyone says Saint's Row, I'll hit them in the teeth with a fucking spoon. That's a perfect example of a game that tried hard to be funny

If this game, SSB Brawl, and MGS4 had all come out this year this year would have been unparalleled for AAA releases.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn.

Derivative story, unimpressive graphics and samey seeming gameplay. They've released GTA3 6 times in the past 6 years. Can we have something remotely fresh for a change, maybe?

Just so I'm not being a total hater, that one explosion was pretty kickass looking.
