Yeah I've been waiting for the countdown clock to hit zero for a week and I must say for only being a teaser I was not disapointed. Looks like Liberty City really will be a take on New York this time around.

Russian Mafia, sweet.

For me, the GTA franchise will always be about the ITALIAN Mafia, not Russians, or gang bangers, or Triads. Those are the guys you should be trying to kill. I guess in GTA5 you'll play a Triad. And in GTA6 you'll be a Mexican drug runner. And then, maybe after GTA27 where you play as an Al'Queda dude, they'll go back to the Italian Mafia... 8-|

Well, the GTA Franchise has pretty much been more or less a tribute to films. Vice City was a tribute to Scarface and such. San Andreas was a tribute to the 90's gang wars films, and so on.

Being apart of the Italian Mob is all well and good, but if you spend too many games on it, it gets boring.

It's nice to see Rockstar going with something relatively unexplored video-game wise with the Russian Mafia for this game.

First off: Russian mob, cool. I like the Russian accent. It's awesome.

Second: Holy ****, those graphics are nice!

Well, you know what I thought after seeing that trailer?

"I MUST BREAK YOU!"

I can't wait. the only game I've played fully is San Andreas, but an engine that polished and interactive alone is worth the price of admission. I can only imagine what they'll do for IV.

Expect and edit after the vid finishes loading.

So, wait? What?

They're actually expecting me to fly to New York and run around town 'playing' the game now?

Pft. F that.

Yep my thoughts exactly.

Maybe it's me but I'm getting a Jean Reno feel with the character.

This one will probably be about the Russians putting a final end to the Leones. The Leones have most likely been in chaos since their leader was gunned down. I'd like to see the Russians put paid to them. Some thoughts: I really hope Claude and Tommy Vercetti make an appearence in this one. It's unfortunate CJ died in Liberty City Stories :sad:
