I believe the "likely haven't started at all" was just a paraphrase by the person reporting the article from the website. Meaning he probably just worded what the article stated in a misleading fashion. I'm sure the actual article says that they haven't started a new PSP game.

I hope that mini game isn't going to be necessary to steal all cars. Some of the time would be ok, but if I was in the middle of a mission and had to grab a car quick, I'd be pissed if my mark was driving off into the sunset and I was stuck playing "Simon" type memory games or something stupid like that.
Minigames are over used these days I think. |

Ok, so apparently, unsurprising as it may be, there will be a “Special Edition” version of GTA IV. Details from http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/907/907969.html had this to say:

I can see what Damninator's saying and while I don't think it looks exactly like a realistic digital camera image, it does looks scary in detail.

In a preview for Xbox Magazine, they said that when you go behind the car there is a prompt for the LB/L1 to open the trunk. They didn't say anything about the feature itself but that probably means that you can stuff bodies in the trunks.

Time for a GTA4 update. This comes courtesy of Filefront.com.
"It seems some new tasty details on a little unknown title called "GTA IV" have hit the internet. The source of the information comes from the Turkish Official Xbox Magazine. One of the most interesting details is the fact that GTA IV will implement more RPG elements. One scenario could be the possibility of only being able to do certain missions once, like having to catch a train at 7pm, if you don't make it to the train on time, then you won't be able to do that mission. There were some other interesting details that were revealed in the article such as the removal of the HUD (health and armor will be reflected by Niko), explosions that are more…well, explosive, and gore that will give the game a real sense of realism (shoot someone in the leg and you can expect them to limp). Full list of details after the break. 1) When you move, there is a slight vibration with every footstep when you run 2) The HUD has been removed- no health or armour indicators, it is all visual- and if you have armour, you actually have a bulletproof vest which visually deteriorates 3) Flame thrower and rocket launcher are still in the game 4) Explosions are larger than ever, and there is a mission in the game based on creating an awesome chain reaction of car explosions- apparently this looks awesome 4) Cars don't explode unless you blow them up - I.E they wont explode if you just keep crashing or hitting them - you have to rocket launch into them 5) Niko doesn't get tired- you can run forever, it just wont be as fast as previously. 6) more RPG elements, I.E - for a mission, you must catch the train at 7pm, and if you don't, you don't get to do that particular mission (they just gave this as an example, the scenario isn't confirmed in the game yet) 7) Gore is back and better, bullet wounds show, blood appears where you shoot people, they limp if you shoot them in the leg, and hold their arm if you shoot their arm. Apparently when you run someone over it is disturbing (but they gave no more detail) 8) No eating, girlfriends, keeping fit- but your skills do improve over time (driving etc) 9) Secret vehicles and “plenty of goodies” at 100% completion- no more details given (either not revealed or simply not known yet) 10) Land size is bigger than the 3 cities (not country) in SA put together 11) Graphics are better than Saints Row - draw distance is literally as far as you can see" I don't completely trust the source, but if it's true, things have got interesting. The first thing that gets my attention is the announcement of no HUD, I just hope there's an option in game to turn it back on. |

Eh, don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with cheating, using walkthroughs or using a Gameshark, but GTA's one of the few games that I avoid cheating bar reloading a saved game if I fuck up.

Like The Fugitive said, I hope they will have an option to at least toggle the HUD (Heads-Up Display) On or Off, and I also hope the rumors about only having one chance at certain missions are only rumors, unless the missions described will not be crucial to the completion of the storyline, which in all likelihood, why would they be if you only got one chance to complete a mission?

I'm pretty sure when they say "one time" it means once that day. Then you fail and can't complete/advance the mission until the next day or the next week if they have days of the week.

Put 100+hours into the game just to find out you can't finish one mission that you missed for your 100% completion? Or worse, the main storyline? |

This game looks good, imo, and I'll probably pick it up just because of the name alone. The no-hud sucks though. screenshots look good, but I wonder if they'll be that good once the game is fully released. Only time will tell, fellas. Only time will tell. |

Graphics looks no where near as good as Saints Row IMO.
This will probably be the first GTA game I complete 100% |

Okay, I'm gonna give some details on the screencaps so you can take a quick look at the good stuff.
Screen 10: Look closely and you can see people swimming around Screen 13: The dash and interior of the car are looking sweet as ever. Note that you can see the reflection behind you in the mirror. Screen 18: Niko's Hands look great kind of dirty to fit the grubby urban landscape. As does his dirty jacket. The advert in the background advertises the phone you'll probably be using (the ____mno 360) Screen 21: The toll booth is looking really detailed, complete with guy inside, guard barrier and security camera. The cars are looking great too. Note the city in the background (Draw distance is amazing) Screen 25: Nice shiny wingmirrors, note the guy smoking, great ped AI this time Screen 30: Look at the ground, nice concrete right there, hands are looking good too Screen 33: Our first peek at the statue of liberty, the yellow/orange lighting is very Los Santos, we see the car is a stallion, looks better than its last counterparts and seems to resemble a 70s Charger. Nice. Screen 37: Nice grille shot, it seems this is the 'Classique' model of the Stallion. Great to see the cop car in the background has two cops in it, and both are different cop models. The signs in the corner translate to 'Uptown' 'D.Town' and 'Mid-Town' nothing interesting here. Screen 41: 69th Street Diner! More sex references in GTA, looking at the door it seems you may be able to go in too. Great rims on the Stallion too. Screen 45: Hot Dog Vendor, not that great but shows good animation from that guy. Judging by the background, this looks like it could be just off times square. Screen 47: Dirty Old Kitchen, utensils and tomatoes in the background look great. Screen 56: Look at those hands gripping that gun, sorry to go on about the hands but they are much better than the slabs of ham we've had previously. Also, Nikos leather jacket looks really good. Screen 59: *ORGASM* look at the chunks of wood fly! The lock and chain has also gone with it as Niko breaks the door down. Look at the gun! Look at the shoe! THE SHOE! Screen 61: Niko goes in, ready for action, bits of the doorframe are still intact, seems the guy they are intruding on is 'B. Crane' Screen 62: Nice shot of a BIKE (Yes we have them) here. It seems they aren't banned in Liberty City anymore. Could be a PCJ-600, I love the helmet too. Another one of those Graffitied trucks too. Screen 65: Screen of some woman in a fairground. In the background we can see the 'Liberty Eye', 'Campbells World 'O' Stuff' and 'Corpse Ride' and obvious play on 'Corpse Bride' Screen 70: Another great one, Nikos sidles along a wall, guns out with cops around the corner, nice to see GTA has proper cover from gunfire now. Also check out the GTA3 graffitti. Also there is the 'Kings' logo. Yardies featured as a gang? The fire escape looks great, lets hope its useable. Screen 74: N.O.O.S.E special weapons and tactics force. Will these be taking the place of the swat? Are they the swat? Great to see the police barricade and the 'Bank Off' bank. Check the cops covering behind their cars. Screen 76: Niko takes a peek around the corner MGS style. I wont say anything about the hands. Screen 77: Ah, Bank of liberty. It seems its been robbed though. Cops are all over it. The fire escapes on the left lead up to what look ike enterable windows. Screen 80: Holy shit look at those graphics, not just buildings but that attack chopper looks great. At least we know there are Helis. Screen 85: Niko jumps across a building with great facial expressions, heres hoping for some minor parkour moves. Screen 87: OH MY. Niko hanging onto the back of a cluckin bell truck, lets hope you can rob them like that too. What a great feature. Screen 92: He can hang from helicopters too?! Sweet. The Heli is in similar colours to the Raindancer, but looks like a maverick. Screen 98: Niko walks past a basketball court as one ped kicks another on the floor in the ribs. Screen 100: Train shot, headed for 187th st. Screen 103: Street shot, I love the way the wastebasket is a bit crumpled. Screen 106: Another street pic, love the detailing on the skip and that car seems to be another stallion. Screen 108: Niko opening fire with an AK-47. The two cars have their trunks (boots) open, and niko has a gym bag on his back, probably full of guns from the car. Can we store stuff in the back? Screen 110: Sparks fly as bullets ricochét off the car, some causing bullet holes. Great tires btw. Screen 113: Cop blockade seen from inside Nikos car. The screen after this shows bullet holes in the windscreen and the glass cracks nicely. Screen 116: Niko in the stallion again. HOVE(?) Beach in the background. I live near a place called Hove. Screen 118: Back end of the stallion, I can see Binco too. It seems to have a new logo and now sells suits. Screen 121: Kerb shot of the back of a cop cruiser, looks good. Screen 126: Cop car flips over. Screen 133: Niko bails from his stallion, sending it flying into a gas station. Love the sprunk advertising in the background. Screen 136: The after effects, nice fire. Screen 137: People waiting on a bench for a train I think, love the litter on the ground. Great shot. Screen 142: Same, but with someone standing on a big anchor. Screen 146: Niko on his phone Okay, thats it. I do not want to type anything ever again. |

Also, on a side note, I did enjoy using the cheat in SA to fly with a car, and then bail in mid-air, with or without a parachute. Most times I did it without, just to hear Carl scream something like “Oh, FUCK, NOOOOOOOOOO!...” or “I hate gravity!” |

I dont entirely trust that article, I mean there was an official statement claiming that there would be girlfriends, but that says otherwise. As far as the pics go though, I love the references to Didier Sachs, Go Go Space Monkey, The Turismo car and Ranch Clothing
