PS3, GTAIV question?

Question

H3Y, this has been puzzling me for ages can someone type all the new features that have been confirmed

NO LINKS UNLESS ITS I BULLET POINTS AND IS TRUE

Answer 1

* The main character, Niko Bellic, is in his mid-thirties "on the run from a dark past". He's not customizable as it was possible in GTA: San Andreas, but you'll be able to style him with different outfits. The reason for this is that after they got Niko's physics and look "dead right", it was difficult implementing features that will allow the customization of his body.
* Missions are more realistic, longer, varied, and will have multiple possible outcomes.
* R* is still deciding whether bridges will be used to cordon off certain areas. Dan states that it's not a block for block recreation.
* This time round they're trying to make Liberty City feel more fluid, and there not being any "dead spots" or "irrelevant space" as you drive through it.
* There's no more loading screens when crossing islands or entering interiors.
* "Virtually none" of the characters from the previous games are returning.
* More side-activities are promised, and pedestrians and traffic flow is different depending on the time of day.
* Pedestrians are a lot more intelligent, realistic and diverse.
* Your mobile phone can be used to set up deals or arranging ambushes - you can call the shots.
* Driving and shooting is more organic, fluid, and precise.
* Despite earlier rumors, the game isn't trying to be photorealistic, but things such as artificial intelligence and the behaviors of pedestrians reacting to things such as a weapon being pulled out in front of them has been worked on a lot.
* As stated before, there isn't any planes, but players will be able to pilot helicopters. The reason being that there is not enough room for flying, and crossing the map will be too fast this way. One airport is confirmed to be in the game.
* The goal of GTA IV is to make the city look more populated than anything else people have seen before in a game like this.
* The use of Sony's SIXAXIS controller for the PlayStation 3 has not yet been decided on.
* There's no more pop-ups of buildings and trees as we've seen in the past.
* Work on the game started right after the release of GTA: San Andreas in November 2004.
* Dan Houser is quoted saying that the Liberty City in GTA IV is bigger than any single city they've done before, giving a more clear indication of the physical size of the game. He continues saying that the "detail" of the game is the big thing.
* He also confirms Central Park to be in the game, though it's fictional name is still unknown to us.
* Dan says that they're "certainly evolving the way the radio works". He says the same for police behavior and their reaction to crimes.
* "Fun ridiculous" weapons is said to be in the game, because R* is not going too "naturalistic".
* When selecting your mobile phone, a zoomed-in version of the mobile screen pops up in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, where you can use its address book to pitch for "jobs" with gang contacts among other things.
* When Niko pulls out a pistol, a crosshair with a simple black cross within a circle shows up on the screen. This could be an indication of manual aiming being available in the game.
* Niko will be able to climb and descend exterior fire escapes and some meetings will take place high in the office buildings of skyscrapers. It's said that from on top of them you'll be able to throw people off.
* Hand to hand combat is also being reworked on for GTA IV, and will feel "much more natural" than before.
* One of the radio stations includes an "Eastern European-sounding" dancing station.
* Players will be able to change their camera views whilst in a car according to their needs.
* For confirmation, boats will be making a return and the handling is "really nice".
* During the demo, Niko was seen approaching a bus stop. When he reached it, an icon appeared on-screen that enabled him to control the bus schedule.
* When Niko pulls out a weapon, the camera positions itself above his shoulder, and a view-finder appears at the centre of the screen. It's possible to lock a target and move laterally to avoid incoming shots.
* Stealing a car can no longer be done simply by opening the door and driving off. Now it involves Niko approaching the car sneakily, breaking the glass with his elbow, using the injection cables to start the car, and only then can he use it.
* Niko can freely climb wherever possible (telephone poles, fire escapes etc.)
* The graphical improvements are clearly evident when walking over a grating on the sidewalk. You can see what is underneath it, and the light trickles realistically around the iron bars.
* During the demo, when Niko passed an ATM machine a message appeared on the screen indicating a button to press in order to access his funds.
* As part of GTA IV's new physics, you'll be able to hear/feel the bass of vehicles passing by with their radio turned on.
* Rockstar says that the usual GTA driving controls have been tremendously tweaked and enhanced.
* When selecting a contact on your mobile phone, a list of several commands are made available to the player, such as "meet me here" etc.
* Playing the single player game through co-operative mode is not possible, however there will be a co-op mode in addition to all the other unknown multiplayer modes.

Answer 2

The city is not as big as San Andreas but is more detailed and built up. It is based on 5 of New York's boroughs: Manhattan, Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, and New Jersey.

The features announced are no load times(not even when entering a building), helicopters but not planes, ability to climb telephone poles and stuff, being able to make calls, use computers in internet cafes, a new system for stealing cars and escaping the police, new combat system, and riding public transport. The whole crowd interaction has changed too, like that pedestrians can report car-jackings.

*ADD Also heard that you can push people of skycsrapers.

Answer 3

I'm not a xbox 360 "fanboy" but I do know that the xbox has a lot stronger online gameplay. You just have to wait for Sony to fix all of their problems with the PS3 like we had to wait for microsoft to fix the xbox's problems. If you don't want to wait, get an xbox 360
