Drug usage, ghastly language and dirty cops; all are essential ingredients to the Grand Theft Auto series. It's what we've expected in the past and what we can all come to expect with next month’s release of GTA IV for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. While a great amount of core details have come to light over the past 12 months, a few small tidbits continue to surface a mere month before the game’s release.
Apparently the latest issue of NUTS magazine has a hands-on preview with the game revealing the following information:
- Playing as the main character Niko will be like playing in a real life action movie filled with movie-quality explosions and immersive cut scenes.
- GTA IV will feature 18 radio stations playing a wide range of music from 80s classics to modern day R&B hits.
- It is said that to get the full experience of the city ambiance, you should take a cab and then convert to “Movie” mode where you will be switched to this cinematic camera angle that catches the city in all its glory.
- Filled with solid detail, Rockstar has made sure that the player remains on the edge of the seat with many disclosures such as a fire hydrant propelling a two-seater car into the air when ran over.
- Side-missions are still a huge part of the title, while new "collect them all" style achievements are added into the gameplay. The one being noted in the preview is "Rat with Wings." This is where Niko must eradicate the city of its pidgeon problem.
- Niko is somewhat of a player as he will continuously get random calls from various females such as a girl named Michelle, who wants to “hook up” with the game’s protagonist. It will be interesting to see where this goes but Rockstar remains closed lipped on this one.
- You will be able to shoot your opponents from all angles in the drive-by shooting mode. You will also be able to drop grenades behind you in some missions.
