jim2 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 (edited) Game: GTA IV Magazine: Play UK Magazine Issue: Issue 155 This was the twenty ninth preview for GTA IV in a magazine The UK edition of the Play Magazine recently provided a new preview on GTA IV to readers in that country, it contained a few more details about GTA IV. Below is a summary of new information from the 10 page preview article. McReary is a corrupt cop, like Officer Tenpenny in San Andreas The arms dealer called Little Jacob is a good friend of Niko's cousin, Roman Rotterdam Hill is in Alderney The first mission in the demo was called "Call and Collect" There are no arrowheads to guide you in the game The HUD has been streamlined to only a few displays. The map remains, sensibly, as does the wanted level and the money But visuals on the map in the demo are reduced to mere blips in the top corner of the impressive display The new wanted level system system starts with the map flashing wit hcircles of blue and red. The wanted level system has been completely revamped from the previous games, It's now based on vision, with each circle representing the line of sight of the police chase. The wanted level system has six levels as in previous games. Pedestrians drink while out on streets. The increased difficulty of the game could alienate some of the fans. When you kill Goldberg, there are at least two possible cutscenes, the first saw Goldberg crumpled down onto the floor and the second saw Goldberg fall out of the window. You exit Goldberg's Office and there are three security guards blocking your way. You can hug the wall like in Metal Gear Solid to cover yourself from fire. You can also strafe, which is helpful when you take on the police. If you escape the building, it's mission complete. Rockstar has added bodily damage to the proceedings, with certain actions triggerings different reactionary deaths. Game Example 1: Shoot a security guard in the foot at the top of the stairs and he will come tumblings down the stairs. Game Example 2: Shoot Goldberg, the lawyer, with a shotgun in front of a window and he'll meet his end on the streets below as he tumbles out. sorry if it has already been posted. found at http://mattyblog.cookynet.com/gta4_mag030.html you can go to the same link to download the scans Edited July 12, 2007 by jim2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
