Video Games - New GTA IV Details

"More details about Rockstar's massively anticipated sequel, Grand Theft Auto IV, have surfaced in the Turkish Official Xbox Magazine. Some highlights:

  • A slight vibration can be felt with every footstep when Niko runs.
  • Niko doesn't get tired - he can run forever, it just wont be as fast as previously.
  • The HUD has been removed. No health or armor indicators. Everything is visual. For example, armor is actually a bulletproof vest that visually deteriorates.
  • The flame thrower and rocket launcher are still in the game.
  • Explosions are larger than ever, and there is a mission in the game based on creating a chain of car explosions.
  • Cars don't explode unless they should. Crashing won't blow up a car - but a rocket launcher will.
  • Time-sensitive events. Example - a mission goal is to catch the train at 7pm. If the player is late, then that particular mission is NEVER available again.
  • Gore is back and better - blood appears at wound sites, enemies limp if shot in the leg, hold arm if shot there. Apparently running someone over is "disturbing."
  • No eating, girlfriends, or keeping fit, but skills improve over time (driving, etc).
  • Secret vehicles and “plenty of goodies” at 100% completion. No more details given.
  • Land size is bigger than the 3 cities in GTA:SA.
  • Graphics are better than Saints Row - draw distance is to the horizon.
That's all for now. The new trailer will be on Rockstar's website on June 28th."

Can't wait for this next-gen GTA game, new details are leaking out very often and they all sound awesome. I'll be sure to post the new trailer when it hits the web on June 28th.
