I REALLY WANT THIS GAME!

The idea of of pedrestrians calling the police if you have a gun in your hand is soo good. I expected GTA to sound & look good but not this good. And also i read you can smash car windows if the car is locked and hotwire it, if so howw cool. I don't mind no planes being in the game, because it takes away the realism. Helicopters in it is ok though.

I expect this game to be GAME OF THE YEAR the way it looks and sounds.

In an interview with men's magazine KING, New York DJ and hip hop artist Green Lantern shed some light on his involvement with the music scene in Grand Theft Auto IV:

"We sat down and it ended up like a whole radio show. This particular show, there's a little bit of a budget involved. It's not the normal licensed-out music. When you jump in the car, you're going to be able to hear a whole Green Lantern radio show filled with nothing but exclusive music I produced for the game."

Lantern also went on to mention collaborations that will appear in the game, namely Styles P and Uncle Murda (amongst other "surprises" that couldn't be revealed). In regards to specific songs that will appear in the game, Green Lantern noted that a song from Maino entitled "Getaway Driver" will be featured in Grand Theft Auto IV.

Couldn't really care what hippity hoppity artists are in it. I'll be mostly tuned into the classic rock station.

Wahey! Green Lantern's is on the Hip-Hop radio and Styles P, Fuck The World.

They also better have likes of The Game, Lil' Wayne, Fabolous, etc.

- "Extra guns and health packs don't float a few inches above the ground, waiting to be walked through. They lie on flat surfaces, waiting to be picked up. A Rockstar rep told MTV News that the developers didn't even want those found items to glow, as they do now, because that's not realistic. But a concession was made so players could more easily identify what they could and should try to grab in this world."
- "GTA IV felt less like a video game because there is no "Mission Complete" graphical flourish as there had been in old games, just a brief instrumental riff to indicate a job's successful finish. Icons in the upper-right corner of the screen still display the player's equipped weapon and money, but they are reduced in size, subdued to blacks, grays and whites, doing as little as possible to distract the player's eyes."
- "We took a helicopter for a joyride, in this case, in the PS3 build, traversing the city with haste, thrusting with the R2 button, rudder-turning with L1 and R1. The scenery was viewable from an optional in-cockpit, first-person view, the densely detailed Liberty City rolling by so quickly underneath that it's little wonder that the private jets parked at the game's airport are not usable. They'd be too fast for this game's amount of real estate. Mostly we used the helicopter to land on skyscrapers and in busy intersections, the rotor blades magically hurting no one — not the least of whom Niko, despite what would probably be classified as hard landings."

Word is coming through that the popular German magazine, Games Aktuell, will have the first details on GTA 4's mutliplayer system in their next issue. The issue is due to go on sale on March 19th, so expect more information around them. GTA IV will feature multiplayer game modes called "Team Deathmatch", "Cops n' Crooks", "Deal Breaker", "Bomb da Base" and "Hangman's Noose", amongst others which we hope to learn about soon. We understand that the magazine got to play two of these modes.
