No planes!! only helicopters -_-..

and "various" online modes, but not a MMORPG, he thinks MMO is stupid

They should have their asses kicked because they didn't credit where the scans came from. Losers.heretrix

Anyways, yah, so he was saying if we have planes we would be crossing the map in like 3 seconds..that's no fun. 

Thanks for posting. It's hard to come by GTA4 info nowadays :D. This game sounds good from the interviews and hands ons.

Edit: Noticed I already read it all in some scans, but still lots of people probably didn't see this.

Summary: * No loading screens * No Popping scenery * You can see into buildings now, there is also no loading between indoors and out. * Characters now have weight to their movement * You can use a cellphone to arrange meetings and stuff, pedestrains can also use cellphones, carry shopping, smoke etc * No planes as theyd be to fast and NYC is more a Helicopter place (and it is) * Everyones fav brands are coming back, everyones fav chars are not (cept maybe Lazlow) * Lots of animation, climbing, smashing windows, sneaking, shoving * New targeting system * They commented on how the PS3 has the Cell, BluRay and a HD, while on the 360 these things were not 100% certain. He did say each system has its "advantages". This could mean they had to cut down the 360 version or that they had a hard fight on their hands. * 5 of the 6 areas of NYC are there. * Heavy focus on physics * Most major game mechanics has been redone * There will be online with "plenty of modes" * Neither the 360 or PS3 version is close to ready * They're working on Sixaxis but havenot decided on a use, if at all. * Cars have more detailed feel and suspention, lower point of view when driving to show off the cities height. * No realestate stuff, but instead they're planning on adding in jobs, and leasure activites. * Smaller than San Andreus but much more dense in things to do. * No word on new cop system or not * No mention on trophies or points.teebeenz

Nice broham
