GSI: Game Scene Investigation: GTA IV Trailer

A close look at the third trailer for GTA IV.

Grand Theft Auto IV is without doubt one of the highest profile games due for release in 2008. The latest trailer for the game has reassured us that the game is shaping up well, but we wanted to go one step further. We've taken a close look at the footage to bring you our thoughts on what we might be seeing in the final game.

A cover system

It's hard to say for sure, seeing as most of the trailer footage seems to be from cutscenes, but at 1:21 there appears to be footage of your character popping out of cover and firing at enemies. Who knows if this will actually be part of the gameplay, but if so it would be a huge improvement on the clumsy combat controls seen in previous games.
