Dogs and children in a GTA game?

We are indeed living in a Brave New World.

Also loved the "See No Evil, Speak No Evil, Hear No Evil" wise monkeys shot at the end.

That was pretty good. 

TRAILER!!!!

Looked a little San Andreasy with the Jets, the mountains, BMX racing and other things. I don't know what to say. I was already going to buy the game at launch anyway.

Ugh, the combination of a lack of postprocessing effects and the realistic art-style looks really bad.

The game looks cool as hell, but the visuals are just offputting.

I may have squeeled at the part where they throw cars at you Bad Boys 2 style.

bad boys ii 2: los santos takedown

The animations in this game are insane! Especially the dog one! Man this trailer was so gooooooooooooooooooooooooood!!!!!!!!! DAY ONE ROCKSTAR!

Them dogs! ... man Rockstar just knows how to make trailers and use licensed music.

Looks pretty cool. I think breaking up the story with these characters will keep it moving along and make it more fun. They may have taken some feedback when compared to Saint's Row with having missions seem bigger.

Wow. I couldn't care less for this game after playing Saints Row The Third UNTIL NOW. It's nowhere close to SR's wackiness (which I prefer over GTA) but this looks fun and the characters charismatic.

Blame current-gen consoles. Fitting an enormous detailed world AND good visuals inside console hardware is tough.

That would be because it is set in San Andreas. Los Santos and the surrounding environs to be exact.

So all the old faves like BMXing down Mount Chilliad and flying around the area are back... only better.

I was never never a big fan of GTA before IV and, from the looks of this, that game may simply be the exception that proves the rule. I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I found San Andreas to be a bloated, boring mess of a game with way too many thing to do, few of them interesting. I enjoyed the underlying seriousness of IV, even if it led to some cognitive dissonance between Niko and the player. Oh well, I'll just have to wait and see but, thus far, not really keen on what they've shown.

I really like what I'm seeing. I never managed to play more than 2 hours of GTA IV (even though I own it and the ELC for both Xbox and PC), but I'm really pumped for these characters. The dynamics between the three of them look pretty interesting.

Thanks, youtube.

I guess YouTube doesn't want you to listen to Stevie Wonder's Skeletons ...

R* do know how to make a trailer, that was fucking awesome.

Well at least they got the being blind part right.

Can't be more excited. GTAIV was a disappointment for me. Not much fun to play. I want to get back to San Andreas and this looks fantastic.

I will always be excited for a Saints Row/GTA/Sleeping Dogs game. I am pretty excited to play this game. It's really the only other game besides SimCity that I am really looking forward to playing in 2013.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All this trailer proved was how PR still has the gaming industry in its vice like grip. Why is there so much build up given for one measly trailer?

That's the big thing I'm looking forward to with the next-gen boxes: Phong shading and rim lighting. Sounds naughty if you don't know what those are :/

This looks amazing. I am incredibly excited for this game. It looks like they ditched the stupid serious tone they had in IV, which is definitely a good thing in my books. Don't get me wrong, I adored IV, but GTA is at its best when it is lighthearted and goofy.

Wait...is that Steven Blum's voice I hear?

LOL ... took me a second :P

Hawt dayum. Looks like it's carrying on the sort of light-hearted antics from TBoGT, which I'm fine with, though I kinda wanted GTA to become even more gritty and depressing. Seeing Trevor dive out of the back of that cargo plane instantly made me think of Saints Row The Third. Of course this isn't going to touch that amount of crazy, I'm just surprised that they didn't dig deeper into the sort of storytelling and tone of GTAIV.

Looks super fun in any case, and I can't help but admire the scope and ambition GTAV is looking to deliver.

Oh, but Michael's face looks weird and not quite as detailed as Trevor and Franklin.

Great job DMA!

Wow they chose stevie wonders skeletons as the opening theme day one purchase no joke

The middle aged guy you play as has a... strange... face. Like in an eyes pop out muppet kind of way.
 
This seems to have some of the fun of previous GTA games which 4 lacked.

im just hoping that it is more optimized for pc

It's looks good, but looks can be deceiving. I'll save the hype for later. And I still haven't gotten over what they did to Max Payne.

Weeeird! haha.

That mid 80's Stevie Wonder funk makes the trailer. Skeletons is a great tune.

Damn Rockstar you know how to make a trailer.

1 ticket for the hype train please. 
 
I hope the controls and such are a bit nicer to me this time around. I lost count of how many times I hit the cover button only to watch Niko walk around the corner, start walking into the wall and get shot to death by a shotgun guy (which is like twice) while trying to peel him from his animation. Then have to spend 20 minutes getting body armor and driving back.

@Yummylee: I don't think the game is going to be all the way nuts I expecting something like TLAD action with TBOGT over the top-ness combined (also Michael seems to be the middle ground between those) , GTA IV had it's funny/goofy moments the story just turned grim at some points.

Just disappointed that Rockstar wouldn't confirm or deny a PC version to GameInformer. Also, if you haven't yet, watch the video over there about seeing actual gameplay. Andy McNamara is like a video game John Oliver.

Looks good.

Like there even was a remote chance it wouldn't look slick as hell. Like they would release a trailer with missing textures, bad music and sloppy editing. Like the voice acting wouldn't be dead on. Like...well...you get the idea.

:P

Just tell me I can put a hat on that one guy so I don't have to look at his ugly head.

I have only watched the 1st episode of the Sopranos, but is anyone getting a sopranos vibe from the older guy?

Yes I'm excited... goddamn...

For an open-world game (and one as large as Rockstar claims to be) this is a very nice looking game. The detail in the environments is astounding. I was just playing Lost and the Damned and man the leap is really significant. Now visuals aside, this is a very well produced trailer, definitely got me much more excited for the game.

Well, looks like I might actually be interested in GTA again.

Interesting that what the Bomb crew wanted is exactly what this game has. Three interlocking protagonists to stretch a 40 hour narrative across rather than over-wearing a single character.

And I guess all those D-bags in the comments Jeff posted will send their pre-orders now since the only requisite is a trailer right?

I... want....

So long as the open world has shit to do, I'm in.

Wow, that was really good. 
Can really see the potential for a great story with these characters, and for some reason the music was the part that stood out to me the most in this trailer. 
Now I guess I'll just have to wait for this thing to come out.

I have loved every Rockstar game I've ever touched, so yeah I'm pretty excited.
