As promised,
Rockstar Games has released a new trailer and a batch of
screenshots from
Grand Theft Auto IV, showcasing the next installment of the series in the works at
Rockstar North. All footage is captured in real-time on a next generation gaming console - the song is by New York City based band The Boggs and is titled "Arm In Arm (Shy Child Remix)". The game is powered by Rockstar’s proprietary next generation game engine,
R.A.G.E., allowing for an unprecedented level of realism and interactivity. The game is also using
euphoria, a fully procedural animation engine created by NaturalMotion. Developed for PS3 and Xbox 360, Grand Theft Auto IV is currently planned to be in stores in North America on October 16, 2007 and in Europe on October 19, 2007.
