GTA IV Gameplay from IGN

UK, April 24, 2007 - The first gameplay details of Rockstar's upcoming epic
Grand Theft Auto IV have been unveiled, just a couple of weeks since the
first teaser trailer caused a major stir across the world.

Speaking to GTENet.com Game Informer's Andrew Reiner - one of the few
journalists to see the game - lifted the lid on some of the features we can
expect to see when GTA IV launches in October.

Top of the list is the fact that players can fly across Liberty City,
although not in planes. "There are no airplanes in the game but flying is
still there," he explained. "One means of this is the helicopter. This is
just one city and a plane really doesn't fit into that very well for
gameplay. Flying is still very much a large part of the game."

Reiner also said that the driving experience was far closer to something
like Midnight Club rather than previous GTA titles and that the camera angle
sat closer to the car, which showed off vehicles in more detail and also
enabled players to see more of the city as they drive around.

Talking of the city, Reiner added that even though he saw an early version
of the game, it was already looking stunning. "The visuals are tremendous
and easily some of the best I have seen. What's scary about this statement
is that Rockstar North is still improving upon the visuals. There's little
question that it will be one of the best looking games come this holiday,"
he said.

Other details revealed by Reiner include the possibility that players may be
able to drive boats, get a girlfriend and - bizarrely - climb up telegraph
poles. Rockstar also hinted to him that previous characters from GTA titles
might put in an appearance, plus Reiner predicts that locations outside of
Liberty City could be downloaded from Xbox Live or the PlayStation Network.

*One means of this is helicopter* so if there are no planes, what other ways
seeing as they infer more than one.
Maybe the jetpack will make a return. Maybe the character will get a blue
cape and red stockings

> One means of this is the helicopter

Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
