Foddzy Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hay guys, just wanted to add a few random trailer and screenshot notes to the pile while going nutty waiting for the next pre-release date release. The scrapings seem to be getting hard to come by at this point, what with Jordan and all kinds of swaggering R* employees coming on the boards and breaking things down, but after giving up several times I finally came up with a clunky way to sort of deal with the trailers, gonna see if I can dig up anything... (I'm sure some of this may have been mentioned elswhere, so sorry if that is so!) In the first scene from the first trailer there is a billboard for Mega Mart, various items are for sale, including what is probably glasses and shirts, however some letters just happen to be perfectly blocked off by trees from literally the first frame through the whole sequence. Maybe a strech but this is R* we're talking about here... a reference to the "butthurt" lawyers and other hypocrites that clamor for GTA censorship? There are two flyUS signs, the foreground one has no text in the area where the other one says "VISIT VICE CITY", I guess they'll put some other locations in that spot..? Someone mentioned in another thread that the billboard on the right side is showing a product from a past GTA game, I forgot what they said it was, maybe lipstick? (resampled to 2x size): While searching the boards to see what has been mentioned about the trailers so far I came across some chatter spectulating that there is a fire or something going on in the lower right of the opening train sequence, I'm pretty sure its just treetops passing by, (2x size): A couple other things in the first scene are that the train interior and the view out the other side is visible, unlike the missing interior Jordan pointed out in another train view. Also, pretty obvious, but there are walkways with railings on either side of each track that look walkable, these can be seen in some other shots too. Nico fighting and pushing someone in front of train+Euphoria engine=? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/306501-butthurt-billboard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptimumPx Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Looks kinda like the Lips 106 logo from GTA III to me. And I think you're reading too much into the Mega Mart billboard.

NJ~ Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Those lips also remind me from the Lips 106 logo only with red lips rather than blue. Nevertheless, atleast this is a topic that has moving images and most of them stacked up, rather than five or six seperate ones.

Foddzy Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 The next scene is the Screamer rollercoaster. Hey, whats that stuff piled up there? (white point adjusted to compensate for scene fade-in, 2x size resample): A view of it later in the sequence. It looks a lot like the other possible dirty snow pile previously spotted in the fistfight scene. In the first close up it appears to possibly even be piled up around the base of the support beam in the sidewalk.

Foddzy Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Next up we have the Liberty City Ferry. One of the ferry boats is to the right, I think one of these can be seen somewhere else in a screenshot, it'd be neat if there is a working ferry service in the game... There are scaffolds with ladders that look climbable against the inside of 3 of the terminal docks: The detail everywhere is just incredible, there are ropes piled up near ship moorings, etc, etc...

Foddzy Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 The Liberteen scene has this one building just covered in fire escapes: Will Niko be able to climb into windows?... This has been mentioned before, but wherever building tops are shown they seem to be highly detailed, there is some sort of structure up there, maybe a chopper pad? There are penthouse type structures visible elsewhere... Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/306501-butthurt-billboard/#findComment-1057390923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are penthouse type structures visible elsewhere... That's the Conde Nast building, aka 4 Times Square They are giant frames. One of which has the '4' of it's name, as seen in this picture. So I don't think there is room for a chopper pad. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/306501-butthurt-billboard/#findComment-1057390934 Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptimumPx Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Awesome photo its amazing how much alike they look. Ya, GTA IV looks so much like the real NYC, it's great. I was involved in a project on a different site that went about identifying as many real-world landmarks in the game as possible. The Conde Nast building was one of the first because it has such a distinctive top.

Foddzy Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 The church is odd in that there are no religous symbols visible anywhere on it, maybe it is the gang hideout from Saints Row. Again, the details are incredible, subtle changes of shading and atmospheric tones appear at different times of day (the sun is moving quickly across the sky throughout most of trailer 1), even the tiny-distant antenna assembly visible on top of or beyond the buildings has light and shadows that not just fall on it but travel across it: Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/306501-butthurt-billboard/#findComment-1057390997 Share on other sites More sharing options...
