[Freezer89]

I got the new Magazine of Computerbild-Spiele (German!) and found a lot of new Screens there, so I scanned it all...

 

Here (and sorry for the not good quality):

Nice!

Thanks for the scans Freezer89.

 

[hansssi]

Thanks! I love the boat picture, the water looks almost real!

 

Any chance on translating the article?

 

Edit: Look at the blood when Niko smashes the window on the first screen, very cool!

It says bulletholes will leave marks on buildings too, but doesn't say if they're permanent or temporary. Probably the latter though.

[GycuBrun]

For you dude, thanks for finding them

 

Wonder when we'll get the digital new pics ...

[Skyline_man]

Thanks for the scans, here are some cookies for you.

Good job, real nice screens.

 

[uNi]

Too bad for the quality... but thanks for the scans Freezer.

[rowben86]

If only i'd of concentrated in my German lessons at school then I could of translated it.

[XDamage]

Must...recall...german...classes!

[Jimmarn]

Wow amazing... Cool

 

Look at the bulletholes!

[gtaIV_fan]

It pays to hang around here... We have been getting new 'info' every two days it seems since the new previews came out I hope this keeps up until release...

 

Any chance we can have a translation of the information in there and upped here please?

[2pac_stoffe]

look at the picture with Little Jacob. I think he's guarding the deal or something, cool. That's a reason to be good friends with him

[Freezer89]

I will try to translate all new Infos

Thanks you very much. Reps to you.

Here is a translation of the information that I think are new.

 

Besides the information we already had from other magazines, the article tells what happens after Niko and Roman (in the article it says Brucie!) have left the nightclub drunk. After Niko has brought Roman (Brucie) home, he jacks another car and drives away (the car in which he got home from the nightclub is f***ed up). Some cops notice the car theft and chase him until they can stop him. Niko gets out of the car with a rocket launcher on his shoulder and runs down the street. It says pedestrians drop their bags and scream.

He fires at a cop on a motorbike who comes into his way. He misses the cop but the rocket hits an approaching SWAT van causing an inferno. The remaining cops shoot at him and Niko apparently "dies" in the shootout. He is brought to the hospital and loses all his weapons.

Furthermore, it tells that you have to push one button to get in a car and push another button to start the engine.

On the last page in the interview, Barrera mentions that the game is set in 2008.

Great thanks. I knew it wasn't set in 2006 like one magazine stated, didnt make any sense.

Would think so, considering they have new screens.

[AndyGanteks]

[Freezer89]

There are not a lot of new Infos

 

- If Niko is on the motorcycle, he wears a helmet obediently

- The bullets of the enemies leave visible impacts

- Elizabeta is one of the most successful drug dealers in Liberty City

- After Niko was seriously wounded, and landed in the hospital, all his weapons away and the next morning he leaves the hospital again

 

Sorry for the bad english^^

Interesting, does this mean we spend a bit of time in Hospital and not just respawn outside of it?

 

Edit- What did they think of the game chris?

Apparently, you weren't paying much attention to your English lessons, either.

 

Anyway, these are some of the most impressive images I've seen, so far. The water, the bullet-holes, the cranes... It seems this game is looking better and better.

Thanks for these!

[racoon|de]

Concerning "friendships" it was mentioned, that Brucie will offer some kind of "helicopter taxi service" to you, after you hung out with him several times.

what does obediently mean?

[grekster]

It bugs me that all the number plates still say "Liberty City". Wish they would change them to be more realistic already

 

Bullet holes look good, but there are some artifacts compared to the other screen with the shot up car. Looks like decals to me

They think it will be the best game of the GTA serious but that is what we all expect, right?

I thought it was mentioned before but they said it was Playboy X??
