Before now, I haven’t seen a trailer for a next generation game that made me this excited. Grand Theft Auto 4 takes place in a real representation of New York City. It is an incredible, well realized representation of the city too, from what I see in the trailer. If the gameplay mechanics of the game are as fresh as the graphics, we are in for a hell of an experience.
I really enjoy the idea of an immigrant coming to the city. It gives the game an opportunity for a narrative that talks about the city of New York from a perspective of someone new to it, as well as allowing for a rich past for the character. Also, Russians are simply badass.
