I installed it just to keep the 360 quiet and to stop late pop-up when I drive really fast down a long strip of road.

I bought Xbox World 360 yesterday and read their Gay Tony exclusive. It's the same article the other news came from but who ever reported the news last time missed out a few things. Here are a few things I read in the magazine:

-The SWAT tank has a real cannon and not a San Andreas style water cannon.

-There is a base jumping minigame which the magazine says we should "Expect Pilotwings-style flying through rings and the like".

-The missions can be replayed once you finish the story but it's not known how we'll access them.

-Missions are longer and harder than in GTA IV & The Lost and Damned which is why we got the mid-mission checkpoints.

-There will be a club managment minigame (as mentioned before) the article says club managment includes getting the dance floor going, pouring champagne and beating up any trouble makers. Note they said "includes" so I'm guessing there may be more to it.

And now, some screenshots. I've set them as spoilers because there is a lot of images and one stretches the page.

SPOILER: show





This image reminded me: According to a few sources (including IGN in a video further down the post), the "sky cap" will be higher in the DLC meaning our helicopters will be able to go much further up. I guess it has to do wth the parachuting ability.










Parachutes in multiplayer.








Proof the helicopter that lifted the train in the trailer isn't a "mission only" thing?


We can walk ontop of trains now. Niko and Johnny used to just fall over.








New boat.


Video preview (no actually gameplay footage but they discuss new weapons etc.)

Rockstar reps couldn't tell me what the rewards for perfect completion might be.

There are tons of previews online because the embargo lifts today so expect a flood of info and videos from here on.
