Grand Theft Auto 4: It's New York

...or Liberty City.

The new version of the best game ever is here... nearly. You can see the trailer here (because the official site's down at the moment). It's pretty obvious that the new game is set (at least partly) in New York. The actor's accent is interesting. My first thought was that he might be Russian, a possibility that could still leave the idea of a European angle to the game open.

Apart from that, the graphics look amazing. There are no proper gameplay shots but it's clear enough that it represents a major step up. Whether it has anything like the shift which characterised GTA3's appearance on the scene remains to be shown. Somehow, I doubt it does... but I'm more than ready to be proved wrong.

Any ideas about what the new trailer reveals?
