Debut trailer: "Things Will Be Different"
The first trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV was released on March 29, 2007 at 23:00 UTC. At the time the trailer was released, Rockstar's servers for the trailer's official website became almost immediately overloaded. The trailer is about 1:03 in length, and it reveals that the game takes place (at least partially) in Liberty City, a fictionalised New York City, and an immigrant with a heavy Russian accent, who appears to be the main character. The character has a brief monologue: "Life is complicated; I killed people, smuggled people, sold people. Perhaps here, things will be different." Then the trailer ends with the "IV" logo.
The trailer features many familiar New York City landmarks, including a location resembling Times Square and the "GetaLife Building," a parody of the MetLife Building. All of the cars and buildings seem to indicate a present-day setting. The trailer parodies Godfrey Reggio's 1982 documentary film Koyaanisqatsi as it used Philip Glass's original music from the film as well as emulated time-lapsed filming.
Rockstar also revealed that all the trailer's footage is generated real-time via the game's engine RAGE, running on an actual game console, and that it was not pre-rendered. Whether the footage is running on Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 has yet to be specified.
