Choke-A-Bitch Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 The powers that be in the NYC political scene might not be happy with GTA IV's New York like setting, but that hasn't stopped Rockstar from touting their game on the streets of that illustrious city. And not just on the street, but on the entire side of a building!

!moe! Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Those earlier advertisings of the IV in New York were pretty big clues of the location of the game... Anyways, really nice find. Seems like Rockstar is going to be doing a lot of advertising in New York!

dlx Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 somebody actually confirmed that ad there..??? still could be photoshopped... but just using the IV as a marketing tool is a smart move, exactly because people are gonna think "now what the f*** (it's new york) is a IV?"

That panda in the lower-right corner just seems like a hint to your masturbation, as soon as you explode, realizing that all this was is a huge bullsh*tting scheme and the nyou gget on your knees and your head explodes and you cry and OMG PONY FARMS.

Vanilla Shake Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Quite big, and eye-catching. I wonder where in NYC this is. And the panda... Good find. Looks like it could be in Queens or The Bronx. Nice find though. Rockstar's definitely making sure that the world (at least NY) knows about how epic this game will be. However, I think that they should throw in the Grand Theft Auto logo, because just using the ominous "IV" might confuse some people.

Oh, I gotta go to rockstargames.com/iv to find out!" Then they see the Trailer and as soon as they've watched it in about 60 seconds, they will likely get addicted to GTA Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/273396-massive-gta-iv-ad-hits-nyc/?do=findComment&comment=4160604 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalD Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 GTA IV Car Source: GTAthegame.net That's funny. I went to the car show on Friday, but didn't see this. It definitely wasn't in the Ferrari area, they only had 3 cars there, and that wasn't one of them. Must have been hidden away somewhere along the edges of the gallery where the tuning tents were.

TenaciousD. Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Jesus, that would certainly catch my attention.

Magic_Al Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Oh, thats funny. I knew i saw that building before . Hmm.... ads from the same company on the same building years apart? It probably just means the same landlord is happy to take their money twice, but what if that is the building where Rockstar is located?
