Chopper Dude

[xCOMMANDOx]

Sorry if this has already been posted, but i keep seeing this image but i can't figure who that is that is hanging from the chopper. It really does not look like Niko. The face and the clothes leads me to believe it not him.

[Lifestyles of The Cool]

That's Nikko dude.

[YourNeighborhoodKiller]

You'll probably in a mission where your trying to scare him or something.

 

As in Niko is driving the chopper.

[Jason290]

Don't think i've seen him in an outfit like that before.

 

He looks to have a beard as well.

 

I don't know, it could be. Would be quite cool to do that in-game.

[Deuce Deuce]

That's Nikko dude.

No it's not.

 

In all fairness, who cares? It's obviously someone we haven't seen before, so there's no point discussing it.

[Lifestyles of The Cool]

That's Nikko dude.

Like I Said^^ THAT'S NIKKO!

[YourNeighborhoodKiller]

First of all, you have no evidence or prove what so ever, and second of all, he's name is spelled Niko not Nikko.

Look at the trailer, that's my proof! (Magazine's spell it Nikko)

What will that do? Tell me it's Niko?

 

Oh and here you go, this is more reliable than whatever magazine you were reading.

Okay, you got me on the "Niko" thing, but i'm sticking to my guns, the guy in the picture is Niko.

Okay??? (@ picture) Your right, that's the guy on the cover boxart, with the Sniper Rifle. He must be A speacialist.

2 for me, 0 for you. ahhaha

[spursfan111]

seriously who cares we'll find out in time

[ceedot]

I really think it's just Niko. The draw distance may have stuffed up his hair.

[4doora]

I don't think looks like niko, but you can hardly make anything out from the picture anyhow.

I do think it's possible niko will be able to hang of a helicopter like that, we've already seen him hanging off trucks

[Deuce Deuce]

Draw distance doesn't change the colour of someone's hair.

[bagga rabbit]

Looks like some blond dude to me. That ain't Niko.

You may be right, but if other characters can hang off cars/helicopters, then it would be someone else.

If it's someone else, it doesn't matter.

If it's Niko, then it tells us he can do that stuff.

Remember that the game is still glitchy and being tested meaning it could be Niko

Not necessarily. We've already seen that Niko can hang from trucks, so it's very possible for him to be able to hang onto helicopters as well - even if isn't Niko in that shot (which I personally don't think it is).

[KillerKabel]

I though his name was Nico...?

 

And I doubt that that is Niko... Niko doesn't have blond hair...

More likely, it's Owen Wilson...

[dlx]

That looks like a blonde dude to me, and you can't see the guy in the chopper, but you CAN see he's wearing Niko's trademark trackpants with a white stripe.

So it could be Niko's piloting the chopper. Must be a mission where you have to shake him off, or smash him into a building.

 

Granted all those hanging bits aren't cutscenes:

If it's Niko, the player can do it.

If it's an NPC, they can do it, and the player too (niko hanging off the truck anyone?).

Rockstar seem to purposely put that stuff in their pictures and trailers.

I don't think we will get the game, and expect to hang on vehicles, but end up not being able to. It will dissapoint gamers a lot. I know heaps of people mention that feature to me when IV is brought up(as they know nothing about the game compared to myself). I think it will be a fun feature to add, for everyone.

I'm guessing something like Tony Hawks grind system, but way easier. We wouldn't want Niko falling off a vehicle everytime.

[Simseth]

Blonde dude? It looks like a bald dude with a nose half the size of his face.

This reminds me the feature what the beta version of San Andreas had...where the cops could hang on your car's rear bumpers and such...
