The Countdown Has Begun

Hippos II · 03-22-2007, 11:11 PM

If you have the FX Channel, turn it on within the next 6 hours (maybe, depends on how long this spot lasts) and be amazed at how far they went.

Smurf · 03-22-2007, 11:13 PM

heh, cool.

Antarius · 03-22-2007, 11:39 PM

Care to explain for us folk that don't have Televisions?

Hippos II · 03-22-2007, 11:52 PM

Yeah, the countdown for GTA:IV trailer has begun and apparently rockstar bought timeslots on FX to display what you see here. It's already overwith for the night so I'm just assuming they'll pay for the 30 minute slot at 1AM every night up until the "premier".

Soygen · 03-23-2007, 06:03 AM

What is the far left number on the timer? Days?

Braen · 03-23-2007, 07:04 AM

Correct

Interesting way for R* to spend their advertisement budget.

I think they are going a little overboard with this. Hell, even Halo 3 was content with showing the trailer on a regular Monday Night Football game. They didn't bother with countdowns. Give us a countdown on the actual game, not on some cut scenes.

Countdown for a trailer? What the shit is that about

kegkilla · 03-23-2007, 02:37 PM

maybe it will be worth the hype? lets reserve judgement until we see it...

Perhaps it's because I'm an 80's child, but I absolutely loved GTA: Vice City. But I just couldn't get into San Andreas. The whole "gangsta-rap" theme was a total turn off.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to IV.

Does anyone know anything about this game, or is it all to be announced on the trailer day? Also, does the countdown end on April 1st? Lol in advance if they don't even have any plans for GTA 4 (small small SMALL possibility), but it would be a funny April Fool's against console gamers.

Anyways, my love of this game died after Vice City. If it's the same old shit in a new city with slightly updated graphics and new cars/weapons, it isn't worth it.

It counts down to the 29th. I'm excited precisely because this is R*'s chance to revitalize the series -- show us what gameplay advantages the next-gen systems provide.
