New GTA IV info!!! from Game Informer Magazine

What we have learned so far:

The protagonist's name is Niko Bellic, which we believe is Croatian or Serbian.

Multiplayer is set to be announced. You can use a cellphone to call your contacts.

Apparently there are no planes because there is only one city in the game.

You have a lot of choice over what you want to do. You still have to take orders from people during missions, but you can also choose how you want to spend your time, e.g "I want to hang out with him, or her... I want to go see this guy 'cause he always has something to do..."

The story unfolds in a number of different ways. R* is giving people more freedom, more choice and more sense of control over their destiny - the structure of the storyline is quite different to previous games. The demo which Game

Informer played was for the Xbox 360 version of the game

click here for the scans

they said no planes because they played the demo version and they found no planes except the ones flying high in the skyShawtymann

That's what I was gunna say.

If there is no planes, then base jumping should be awesome too. I wanna base jump onto a bus, then blow up that bus.

Well it's in new york, new york is huge. Why would they make more than once city?

 And what other city would they make? Albany? No way.

There is no other huge, signifigant cities in the area.

Only one city? You shouldn't base the size and content of this particular city with the other entries in the series. They could provide a far bigger variety in this game then any other GTA with just one city.

So now we make excuses for no planes. Yet Saints row, was a whole different story. Call your contacts, yeap done that already. Will we see more freedom, then Saints Row or Crackdown. Will there be online multiplayer or co-op. Will they fix the broken driving and shooting, you know like how Saints Row did. So far that game has the best driving and shooting mechanic of any sandbox game. I dont care how hot the graphics are, but if the driving and shooting isnt fixed it shouldnt get higher then Saints Row or even Crackdown.

And there bloody well be some effing orbs or this game is gonna be crap..

I'm still bummed over the fact that they used New York as the setting, I mean, NY is such a generic setting for movies and games and books and comics. I'm sick of NY and I never even been there. R* should at least have tried to be original. Amsterdam and other parts of Europe would have made an excellent experience for the game but instead we get another Ny game :( Oh well, I don't think I'll be picking up this GTA unless it shapes up well. 

Saints Row and Crackdown were trash....seriously.....MasterTony

People are stupid, I'll stick to GTA:SA.
