the next gta games

Some new GTA IV gameplay details have emerged in the latest issue of UK magazine PLAY. Here are some of the new points:

:McReary, the character we heard about in GamesTM, is a corrupt cop. He has "dirt on Niko's past." The mission they previewed is called "Call and Collect."

:Little Jacob (the caribbean arms dealer) is a good friend of Niko's cousin. When you buy weapons from him (which are kept in his trunk) you can scroll through them like you did in Ammu-Nation.

:Rotterdam Hill (the place where Niko agrees to meet Jacob) is in Alderney - the GTA IV equivalent of New Jersey.

:Niko kills Goldberg (the shady lawyer) because he owes a favour to somebody.

:Rockstar showed the sequence where he kills Goldberg twice. The first time he fell out the window, the second time he merely crumpled on the floor.

:When buying clothes, you have to choose the items from the shelf individually.

etermining which figures you need to kill requires perception - there are no arrowheads to direct you like in the previous games.

:Once you gain a wanted-level, the map flashes with circles of blue and red, with each circle representing the line of sight of the police chase. The circles differ in size depending on your wanted-level.

:The default camera view when driving rests around the left-hand size of the car above the road.

:Multiplayer is accessed via your mobile phone.

More info.

Some new (relatively minor) details have emerged in the latest issue of the Official Xbox Magazine (US):
OXM

* We find out that McReary's first name is Francis, and that he knows about a felony Niko committed. It also mentions that McReary has a moustache, which suggests he is the character seen in this official artwork.
* The weapons on offer by Little Jacob included a 9mm, a shotgun, an SMG, and a micro SMG.
* Before Niko submitted his cv/résumé to the Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster website, OXM got a quick glimpse of his work history and qualifications. It notes that Niko was on the "Balkan Peace Force," and that he is procificent in swimming, shooting and boxing (it also says later in the preview that you are able to swim to the Statue of Happiness, or get a boat there.)
* Niko steals a black Comet before heading to the Humboldt River Viewpoint, to kill the man who stole McReary's memory stick.
* GTA IV will include a pool mini-game, and many other mini-games. "You'll play at least some of these while hanging out with NPCs like Little Jacob."
* Neither the 9/11 terrorist attacks nor Ground Zero will be referenced in any way in the game.
* The receptionist from Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster, who calls Niko to inform him about his interview, is called Karen.

There is also a GTAIV fact sheet now.

And Melkane, that video you posted really makes me happy that I purchased a 360 instead of a ps3.

a few new ones.

:A thin green band around the minimap on your HUD indicates your health. (Could a second band be added to indicate armor?)

:Physically, Liberty City is not as big as San Andreas. It covers approximately 3/4 the total area that San Andreas did.

:Playstation Magazine confirms the [default] camera angle shift in GTA IV. Your view is no longer stuck hovering over the vehicle. When you get behind the wheel, the camera drops down and to the left, following the middle of the road.

so excited...
