GTA IV Trailer Countdown Seen On Television Posted at 14:07 GMT by Chris :: Category: GTA4 :: Comments: 30 Many people are reporting on various forums, namely NeoGAF, that they have seen the countdown to the GTA IV trailer on FX in the early hours of this morning. The "advert" lasted for a whole 30 minutes from 2:00-2:30AM and appeared to mirror the countdown which we have been staring at on the official site for the past few weeks, with the only difference being a sound playing for each second counted down.
If you turn to the FX channel right now, there's a big black screen with "IV" in the Grand Theft Auto font, along with the word "trailer" and a countdown leading up to next Thursday, March 29 at around 6 p.m. EST. Then there's Rockstar's GTA4 Web site listed below with the Rockstar logo.
With each second that counts down, there's a KA-chung, KA-chung, KA-chung noise that resembles the "24" countdown noise, but with less clang and not so much beep. It's annoying, until you've been listening to it for a few minutes and it just becomes hypnotic. This begs the question of whether or not we'll see a simultaneous web and TV release of the trailer, or if it was simply to increase awareness and give more exposure to both the game and the website. Thanks to Jordan over at PlanetGTA for this interesting piece of news.
We now have a short excerpt of the advert for those of you who didn't get to see it:
this is on the front page, the second or third story down on www.thegtaplace.com and there is a video of what it looked like. I took pics of it on my phone and I recorded it on VHS because I couldn't have time to get my video cam, so ill record it with the vid cam later, so anyone tell me how to put it on the internet so I can show you the pics and the vid, possibly? THNX*
