Original:

Zitat:- Als man Gamepro den Controller überreichte, begann schon direkt etwas unfassbares: Schon nach den ersten Schritten rannte sie ein Mann beinahe über den Haufen. Er stolperte und flog auf den Bürgersteig. Ein Cop rannte mit gezogener Waffe herbei – anscheinend hatte er den Typen verfolgt. Der Gesetzeshüter deutete ihm, aufzustehen und führte ihn anschließend zum Streifenwagen, wo er ohne Murren einstieg. Das war wohlgemerkt keine geskriptete Sequenz, sondern eine Alltagssituation, die so überall in Liberty City passieren kann.

- Die Steuerung ähnelt sowohl zu Fuß als auch im Fahrzeug sehr den vorherigen Teilen der Reihe.

- Die Reifen der Autos können Quietschen.

- GTA IV hat eine automatische Zielfunktion, die ihr mit LT bzw. L2 aktiviert, und ihr bestimmt mit dem rechten Analogstick, welchen Körperteil ihr unter Beschuss nehmen wollt. Per LB bzw. L1 schlägt man das Seitenfenster ein.

- Trifft man bei einem Drive By die Reifen eines Autos, kommt die Kiste dank ausgefeilter Fahrzeug-Physik ins Schlingen, und baut mit ziemlicher Sicherheit einen Unfall.

- Bellic, wird Bellik ausgesprochen.

- Ein Radiosender heißt Beat 102.7. Ob man auch eigene Musik per USB-Stick oder von der Festplatte einbinden kann, ist noch nicht bekannt.

- Als Nico von einem Auto angerammt wurde, gab es folgendes zu sehen: Nico wird zu Boden geschleudert, richtet sich nahtlos animiert auf und stützt sich auf den Kotflügel des Vehikels, das unter dem Gewicht federt.

- Als Gamepro dem Gesetzeshüter aus dem Auto eine Granate entgegen warf, flog der in hohem Bogen durch die Luft und prallte an einem Gebäude ab.

- Glas splittert, Blech verformt sich, ein Holztransporter verliert einen Baumstamm. Der Stamm durchschlägt frontal ein Taxi.

- Dicker schwarzer Rauch kann von Autos herauskommen, der angenehm an das Effektspektakel ”Lost Planet” erinnert. Die Haare und die Hände können brennen.

- Die Autosteuerung soll schlecht sein.

 

 

UPDATED

k1x- translation:

 

When Gamepro got the controller to play the game by them self, something awesome happened. After the first stepps with Niko, some Guy ran them nearly over. He stumbled an fell over. A cop came running by with a weapon in his hand - apparently he persecuted that guy. The cop told the guy to stand up and after that, he brought him to his police car.

The guy didnt complain when he was brought to the car. This wasn't scripted. That is something that can happen everywhere in Liberty City.

 

- The controls on foot and in the car are similar to the previous games

- The tyres of the cars can squeak

- GTA IV has a auto aim function... and they say how you use it. I think everyone knows that already wink.gif

- If you shoot the tyre of a car, the car can lose control (thanks to the great car physics) and crash somewhere.

- Bellic will be spoken as Bellik

- There is a radio station called Beat 102.7. It is still unknown if you can put your own music in the game (I think R* stated you wont be able to do that)

 

Most of it is stuff we already know.. well, one thing is still interesting:

 

A truck loaden with trees lost one, and it crashed into a taxi.

 

And they also say, that the carcontrol is bad.. wtf?

They ran a man on the pile? Wut lol?

Hey, your flag says you're German. Mind giving us a translation which doesn't look as though you're a Tourettes-syndrome patient who's also drunk?

[Vladimir Glebov]

What bad car controlls <_<

what do they mean that its not working fine or so.

[suorange]

They ran a man on the pile? Wut lol?

Everyone knows you can have gay orgy's in a pile. Gosh

[adamcs]

Black dick smoke sounds interesting aswell...

[upthespurs]

After the first steps they ran almost a man on the pile.

 

Dicker black smoke can come out of cars, the pleasant spectacle to the effect "Lost Planet" recalls. The hair and the hands can burn.

 

 

 

That made me chuckle

[Fnorg]

Just an FYI: Dick = Fat/thick in german.

That is f*cking incredible!

 

It's hard to believe!

 

Thanks for the translation mate.

[TenEightyOne]

After four days of reading some of the BabelFish translations of that Spanish article, this translation almost seems like clear English...

 

but not quite.

 

As for the speculation about importing your own music, is there any need? On the 360 you can access your own music from HD, MemPen or PC via the dashboard anyway.

[lastdayever666]

 

And they also say, that the carcontrol is bad.. wtf?

 

 

seriously, i hope this is a joke!

[TenEightyOne]

- Die Autosteuerung soll schlecht sein.

 

"Schlecht" is 'bad', 'difficult' or harder. 'Soll' can be 'target' either as a literal target you aim at or a target to compare a previous performance to. So I don't think they're saying the car control is bad, rather that car control is harder than before or that the IN CAR AIMING is harder than before.

[lastdayever666]

well 'schlecht' does actually mean 'bad'. not just more challenging. i'm german and this word just stands for bad...

[TenEightyOne]

errr, so it does. *ahem*. Sorry about that... how about i make up for it by asking you to translate the text properly?

Why? I already did one.

[lastdayever666]

no prob dude...i think the guy up there ^^ translated it pretty well. not too much info anyways.

Does somebody have scans? If this way I ask it for opening them on this forum.

For present I only found moments this miniature cover of the magazine :

It is Niko 

Hey, your flag says you're German. Mind giving us a translation which doesn't look as though you're a Tourettes-syndrome patient who's also drunk?

get brains and grow your iQ brit.. he ment that the name is Niko, not Nico like they said in preview

He's refering to the fact that the translation in the main post makes very little sense and requires a bit of work to figure out what it's saying. And what the hell does being a brit have to do with it?

[Phil112]

Anyone thought of what outline the new radio station could have on the official site?

[paulscfc1]

any ideas on what the music on the new radio station will be? im thinking itll be along the lines of dance music coz of the name

[crackdawg]

This was translated by Google then edited by a retard.

[The Killa]

Seems kind of weird for them to say straight out in a preview that the car controls are bad.

 

Unfortunately, I remember reading in another American preview that the car controls were somewhat slippery. This isn't very reassuring

Symbiote's right, Finn. The guy who pointed out Niko was spelt wrong had a German flag, therefore I presumed he was German. The article is in German, and the translation the original poster posted is rather incomprehensible. Thus, I was asking the presumably-German person if he could provide a better translation seeing as he presumably spoke both German and English. Is that too hard for you to understand, Finn?

 

I can be patronising towards your nationality too.

 

 

Oh, and thanks for the translation k1x-.

Did YOU edit it?

 

Just beacuse somebody's first language isn't English does not make them a retard, in fact in Germany not many people speak a word of English due to everything being dubbed, so they can't even pick it up from TV!

 

Now how about you translate what I said into perfect German???

 

Prick.
