Autoblog in the Windy City for Chicago Auto Show

New GTAIV scans found in the wild [Update]


Update: Some details in the original Games Aktuell article are reprinted from prior releases, no new information was made available in the article from what we know. We need to learn how to read in German.

Xboxygen got their hands on the latest issue of the German gaming magazine, Games Aktuell, which is loaded with fresh details and screens of Grand Theft Auto IV. Among the ten new images scanned from the issue, a slew of new info some existing details were reprinted. NeoGAF forum members posted some details last year, including:
  • Missions are denoted on the map with a symbol and a suggested route (like in Saint's Row)
  • The woman with the lollipop in the promotional posters is named Lola, and it's hinted that she is a prostitute
  • Ammunation shops no longer exist
  • The default driving camera is lower and to the left, in order to be more realistic, but other options are available
  • You can have a taxi drop you off anywhere in Liberty City, even at special locations such as restaurants and hospitals
  • In one mission Niko is tasked with killing Mr. Goldberg, a pesky lawyer. During the cutscene leading to his death, Goldberg says, "I don't fear guns. You know, guns don't kill people. Video games kill people."
  • Niko will wear a helmet every time he jumps on a motorcycle
Also there are unconfirmed reports that one button lets you get into a car, a second button starts the engine. Sounds like an interesting mechanic. As more details pour out closing in on GTAIV's April 29 release, we get more and more excited to live the American dream along with Nico. If we sound bitter it's because we're upset our issue of Games Aktuell got lost in the mail.

LOL...it is me. I just haven't been around much... I guess too much blogging at 360sync.com and school SHIT allows me to just scan over the articles to get the basic news out... :(
