I've been very impressed with what I've seen so far.
I love the details. I mean, cracks and pavement patch jobs and shit? Awesome. Nico fighting with his helmet on after being yanked from the bike he was trying to steal? Awesome. The lighting and water nip..err..ripples? Awesome.
The biggest thing, for me, though, is that it still seems like a GTA game. There's still that arcade-y, "let's go fuck with the rest of the city and cause as much mayhem as possible just because I can" side of things. Don't get me wrong, the realism that's been discussed (cellphones, using the internet and other resources for missions, no Ammunation, etc) is great, but I was worried that the base "fuck it, I wanna run that sumbitch over" gameplay would be sacrificed for it. I'm so happy that's not the case.
What's with the in-game camera changing position so much in the vids? Is it just the player screwing around? Or is there some built-in cinematic camera switching going on?

There's a "cinematic cam" button.
The players in the videos like pressing it a lot.
They also like sucking a lot so I guess that goes hand in hand.
I don't think there was a better title to implement Natural Motion into than GTA. Everything you do in GTA just screams "BLENDED DYNAMIC RAGDOLL ANIMATIONS!"
I can't wait to have people grab onto their stolen automobile or helicopter in a futile attempt to stop me, then I drag/fling them around in all their reactive ragdoll glory.
I initially read that as "I'm getting excited over nipples".
If I can sucker one or two people into reading an innocent line as something more perverse, all the better.
It's much less you and much more me. My mind isn't only the president of the gutter, but it's also a client.
Hey now, give me some credit. I figured when I wrote it that someone would read it wrongly!
I give you your due props, sir. I figured when I looked at the sentence alone that the man who wrote it must have had nipples in mind. And to be honest, you really can't measure that kind of cognisance in nipples and dimes.
I mean nickels and boobs.
Money.

an important thing I need to try out in multiplayer:
If I land a helicopter and someone jumps on the blades, does he die?
Bunch of gameplay clips being posted in this thread, or you can get them here.

Bweh heh heh. Ban't.
This is where I stop posting for a few hours because I'm leaving work.
One of the best things about the "NikoBellic_360" video is when Niko gets knocked off the bike.
Not that part, but the area. It's rainy, foggy, like a morning in New York where no one wants to be up and heading to work. God damn, I always wanted a game that had realistic weather.
This is very minor, but that was very New York to me.
When you look at that number, it really doesn't seem like a long wait. Only six days. It felt like a blink of an eye ago that it was 18 days. I suppose if I had nothing to do it would feel longer, but I've got plenty of Doctor Who to keep me occupied until then.

I pre-ordered from Rockstar directly. So I may not get it until even Monday (Fucking UPS not delivering on Saturdays...). But when it does finally arrive...
So when I remove the GTA4 disc from the case, I probably won't know whether to have sex with it or put it in the console.
Most people don't admit to having a penis that small.
They compensate by owning GTA4.

I want to know if this game has tow trucks that can latch on to cars while civilians are driving them, like in SA. Making tow truck trains was also awesome.

I was always planning on getting GTA IV - the thing that pushed me over the top and totally sold me? When driving too fast, if you crash you can put yourself through the windshield. I have no idea why, but that just gets me wet. In my pants.
I'm a little disappointed there's no parachutes - base jumping was one of my favorite parts of San Andreas. Did that stop me from preordering IV? No. No...
Remember taking a crotch rocket to the top of that skyscraper just west of the freeway in Los Santos? Ride the bike off the roof, dismount, go hurtling towards the ground - god it was sweet. And the parachute would have awesome applications in multiplayer.
"Give up, you greasy criminal! It's over, you've got nowhere left to go!"
"Don't do it!" He does. The cops all look over the edge, to see their quarry drifting away on the breeze.
Cue the Bond theme song.
Hm - this went longer than I'd planned. I'd planned to just write,
That's not nearly as cool as being chased to the top of the roof, cornered by all your enemies, ready to die, and then... the woosh woosh woosh sounds from below. A giant attack chopper rises up and to the edge, allowing you to leap across and into your teammate's chopper, all before he turns your hunters into the hunted.
I can't wait to set up some free play games purely with choreographing events like these in mind. I just hope there's enough people up for dicking around in free play.
I wonder if there's any in game way of capturing small video segments? Seems like the kind of thing we would've heard about by now, so I guess we'll have to make do with cellphone pics and direct feed stuff.
New screens. Best bulletholes in a game ever?
When this game comes out, I'm going to have to make a montage of explosions and car crashes set to Beethoven's Ninth.

Sucking hamburger helicopters no less.
Did I just say that? :P
I hope that when you eat a burger and hold the cinematic cam button it shows you eating the burger from the inside of your mouth.
Also
Hamburger Helicopter please.

If so:

But yes, death by heliblades will be blood-splattering win.

No, I split it to a new thread and stuck it in the evidence locker-slash-trashcan since it didn't really add anything to the thread.
And now, back to carjacking.
I never asked for this!
The gameplay vids sold me so hard. They sold me hard, and dry.
All night long.
I pre-ordered from Rockstar directly. So I may not get it until even Monday (Fucking UPS not delivering on Saturdays...). But when it does finally arrive...
or have sex with it while it installs :P
Prerequisite?
Also, I love how the guys that killed Niko after knocking him off the bike then managed to trip over his legs.
