uzi 9mm Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) Yahoo made a slight update and I noticed some information I didn't know before, and some features nicely talked about. Not a lot but still it's something. - As well as telephone poles Niko can climb trees (And other surfaces). - Damage and gore will be represented to a far greater visual degree than before; expect some of the game's more extreme violence to be far more disturbing than ever. - The sound design is also more immersive, with ambient sounds realistically presented as if they were actually bouncing off buildings and traveling from varying distances. - And while the game's HUD is largely gone, you'll see armor and bulletproof vests actually worn by Niko, and you'll watch them deteriorate when shot during combat (isn't this similar to what the fake Turkish Xbox magazine said?)

uzi 9mm Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 I would imagine climbing tree's would serve no purpose... if this were SA, but since GTA4 still has a huge emount of things we don't yet know of, I'd say the possibilities are (nearly) endless to our knowledge of what the final game will allow us to do. Who knows we might clim a tree and find that monkey from the Lion King! Oh yeah, no animals, I keep forgetting. Jokes aside though, tree climbing could allow escaping police easier, a lot of tree's could give access to many roofs unreachable without the tree for guidance. One question that still remains to be seen is 'will the NPC's be as athletic as Niko? It would definatelly make chases more intense when he's following you up the tree you just climbed. At least you'd be able to shoot climbing people.

kidnap Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) @ uzi My personal opinion is that the only purpose for tree climbing is to scale to an apartment/building complex. On topic: I think think it's interesting that the turk magazine was so immediately disowned by readers and yet Yahoo! who is supposedly getting direct information from R* make the same claims as an unknown Turk magazine did previously.

Knowledge™ Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 @kidnap Yeah, it's funny people dismissed that Turkey mag even though there were some things that went in line with the confirmed info we have. I mean, that mag said that it's extremely disturbing to run someone over -- that goes along with what R* said as well concerning gore. But the main thing people hated was when that "mag" said there was no hud; people couldn't handle that sh!t. I know that Turkey mag was fake, but I also know that it did have some truth to it.

Fakey_91 Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 This was from that Turkish magazine - bit it came it out fake. So I don't know.......although this is Yahoo - and they have a 'relationship' with R*, so R* might have confirmed this as infact true.

cleverley Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 link? source? i think climbing trees could be useful for several reasons. 1. avoiding the police. 2. getting a better view of inside a house (we can see through windows cant we? 3.sniper. 4.waiting to mug somebody in the park at night.

Knowledge™ Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 They said that the HUD is LARGELY gone. Not all of it. Some of it just has to be there like the Mobile Phone screen and the radar. Exactly, but you have to think just how much of a useful feature the cell will be. They could take care of the radar by having it in the celly and also having the street names fade in and out of the screen as you enter each street. I don't know exactly how I feel about those things, and many others, but they might come to pass. We do know it will be more "naturalistic" though. But the degree escapes us, just as they intend it to to keep us creating debate/hype-friction amongst ourselves. ...aww, now I feel like a lab rat!

lastmanonearth Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Looks like we'll have no trouble getting around in this one. You can jump fences, walls, climb ladders and trees. Pretty cool. Also I'm glad the HUD is being compacticized or removed because it's unreal. I'm glad they give some info but they're still damn late! I also expect more tomorrow, along with trailer.
