I'm sure everybody remembers how frustrating driving all the way back from the hospital or police station was after failing a mission. So, I'm wondering if there's been any information on whether Rockstar's implemented a save anywhere or checkpoint system. I still haven't decided if I'll buy the game and the save system could really tip me either way.

I'll believe it when i see it. I still think its the same old save system(not that its a bad thing) the guys at IGN probably got mixed up.

That's what I've heard too, and apparantly there will be some sort of autosave function there too.

yeah and you can also get the missions via Cellphone, i wonder if you have to charge the cellphone battery though, the good thing, and that's something i was hoping for, is the Cellphone call for friends

i will call friends in GTA IV multiplayer and meet them in the subway and stuff like that, so awesome

Plus you have to realize that now we can hail taxi's and go anywhere in the city. I always hated how before you always seen taxi's but you could only get in the one at the hostpital. But I hear you, its frustrating to lose your progress in missions, I thought I read somewhere that the past style were you could try the same mission again and again is gone. Now I think if you get wasted, or busted you have a new mission with the same goal. I think it has to do with the blurred line between mission based and free roam gameplay.

To save the game you use the cell phone apparently, you can also use it to access the multilayer and take photos
and of cause ring and receive calls and texts,
