Gameplay features revealed for Grand Theft Auto IV

January 22, 2008 in News comments 9

GTAIV trailer "Move up, Ladies" disappointed some due to its lack of in-game content, but there's little doubt that Rockstar's flagship title will be lacking in gameplay originality, which has this week been highlighted by the gaming gurus at GameDaily. Cabs, weapons, multiplayer, customisation... and more.

Despite somewhat of a shortage on actual in-game content as the game’s spring 2008 release looms, the industry watchers over at GameDaily have this week taken a closer look at the wealth of new features that Grand Theft Auto IV will place before lead character Niko as he grows accustomed to the possibilities and dangers integral to Liberty City.

Specifically, GameDaily focuses in on the advantage of modern technology – as GTAIV has a present day setting – which will see Niko able to utilise a cell phone for mobile communication and also varied in-car GPS systems for easy navigation and swifter travel. Furthermore, Niko will also be able to use the Internet and also tap police computers to identify mission targets.

    I had already heard about it. One thing that I learned recently though is the audio - the traffic will at times overpower the radio, just like it does in a real city. Now that's awesome.

      No it's not I want to hear music when I play a game, not traffic. I can only see this getting on my nerves..

    Are we getting deathmatch style multiplayer? And why was the customisation taken out?

      Agreed.

      Lack of customization is bullshit. They did so much with it in SA, and now they're just gonna scrap it?

    I wonder if there will be a new in-car view option (like with racing games) and in some cars, you'll be able to see the GPS? That would be kinda cool, in a novelty sense >_>

    I hope there is an option to have the radio as overpowering the traffic >_> It is, again, a cool (realistic) novelty feature, having the radio overpowered by traffic, it sucks in the long run >_>
