Today as we know Take-Two Interactive held their Conference at this year's E3. However it wasn't until the end of the conference that Rockstar Games appeared and showed off some new footage of Grand Theft Auto IV. The two trailers currently released of the game were also played, these were played prior to showing the new footage. The trailers were not at all edited nor changed.

Devin Winterbottom, who was managing the conference, said that Grand Theft Auto IV's code, music, voiceovers and other portions of the game are still being worked on and are not final.

The beginning scene gave us a view of Niko who was at “Star Junction” (Liberty City's version of New York's Times Square. The flashing news tickers on buildings, as well as other animations were stated as looking amazingly realistic. The following scene had Niko jacking a car (apparently a Bentley), eh then cruses a modern version of Liberty City. Niko soon then pulls up at a parking lot on the waterway near the Algonquin Bridge (Brooklyn Bridge). Niko then takes out his mobile phone and calls someone.

As Mr. Winterbottom stated voiceovers are not complete yet, so no dialogue was used during the phone call. We have only heard of one bug so far, where distant buildings popped up suddenly.

Thanks to GameDaily for their information on the conference, and GameSpot for the image of the photography warning.
