Oh boy, San Andreas.

Also a missing feature sorely missing from 4: color.

Did the trailer feel like Vice City to anyone else? It's mostly the colors.

I swear it looks like Tommy Vercetti. I don't have my hopes up though.

I thought so too, was hoping for a Dead Rising crossover game.

I clicked on the trailer link just as it was at 3 seconds to air.

It looked good, but not the stupid levels of fun of the Saints Row series.

Man, this looks great! I was expecting Vice City until I saw the mountains. I wonder though, is it going to be in Los Santos only, or are we going to be able to travel to San Fierro and Las Venturas like in San Andreas?

I wasn't quite sure if they were going to swerve us with Vice City until the three guys taking their picture in front of Mount Chilidad showed up.

Looks like just LS, based on visible skylines. SF and LV as DLC?

I thought it was vc when I saw the trees, but it's obvious it's SA when you see the star building in the background of the golf course scene

The foreclosure sign suggests that it's set right around now. So late 10's I spose.

I'm pretty underwhelmed by that trailer, honestly. There are some neat things and I appreciate them tying in a few current events such as foreclosures & tent cities but nothing really sells me on the game.

Looks pretty loving nice. Things like the guy nailing down the sign in the front yard of that one house makes me think of all the cool little NPC touches RDR had.

And yeah, PLANES and MOUNTAINS. poo poo yeah.

Fuck you say?

Songbearer posted:

Panning across with an out of context soundclip from one of the main characters that sounds really deep but actually won't make a lot of sense in the actual game.

Possible lines:

"This city used to be something special. Now it's home to a monster... me."

"Man, J-dogg, we about to make some serious bank!"

"Money, money, money... it's all anyone thinks about these days."

Not gonna say "Called it" but I sure came close :v:

Nice to see more than three colours this time round. Also nice to see Kotaku being completely wrong about everything once again, no suprises there.

Songbearer posted:

At least one shot of a sports car. Presumably drifting.

Now I can say I CALLED IT. The handling on it looked pretty nice. Providing it wasn't tarted up just for the shot, it'll at least mean sports cars have some actual grip and can take corners at speed rather than sliding away like in GTA4.

Yeah, felt like Vice City at first. The color and the boardwalk looking area made me go to Vice City automatically. drat does San Andreas look good though.

Ok now, that looks great. So different to GTA4, though, with the colours and that. Really excited by the sight of those mountains... I hope to the heavens we can go up there!

One thing I noticed: the signs on the freeway don't look like poo poo. GTA SA had that bad, and GTA IV still had a little of it, signs that were usually barely readable and often even flickered for no good reason.

It looks like a prettier, more colorful gta4 with slightly improved graphics/lighting and better animations. Which yeah, could pretty much be A Perfect Game. If they nail mission variety, that is!!

Well this is pretty cool.

I think the middle-aged guy from 0:42 is the protag.

He's in the center of that "bank robbers jumping out of the van" shot and he's driving the sports car in the shot after that.
