GTAIV info "Possible Fake"

[Charger]

New information by a Turkish Xbox Magazine.

1) When you move, there is a slight vibration with every footstep when you run

2) The HUD has been removed- no health or armour indicators, it is all visual- and if you have armour, you actually have a bulletproof vest which visually deteriates

3) Flamethrower and rocket launcher are still in the game

4) Explosions are larger than ever, and there is a mission in the game based on creating an awesome chain reaction of car explosions- apparently this looks awesome

4) Cars dont explode unless you blow them up- ie they wont explode if you just keep crashing or hitting them- you have to rocket launch into them

5) Niko doesnt get tired- you can run forever, it just wont be as fast as previously.

6) more RPG elements, ie - for a mission, you must catch the train at 7pm, and if you dont, you dont get to do that particular mission (they just gave this as an example, the scenario isnt confirmed in the game yet)

7) Gore is back and better, bullet wounds show, blood appears where you shoot people, they limp if you shoot them in the leg, and hold their arm if you shoot their arm. Apparently when you run someone over it is disturbing (but they gave no more detail)

8) No eating, girlfriends, keeping fit- but your skills do improve over time (driving etc)

9) Secret vehicle and "plenty of goodies" at 100% completion- no more details given (either not revealed or simply not known yet)

10) Land size is bigger than the 3 cities (not country) in SA put together

11) graphics are better than Saints Row- draw distance is literally as far as you can see

12) new trailer will be on the internet 28th of June

Thats about it

Looks real good.

*This information maybe be fake.* Some say there is no Xbox magazine in Turkey.

If this is all true how come Chris hasn't posted anything official, it must be lies

[Patty-T]

I kind of hope it is fake. I don't like that armour and health thing too much, or that cars don't blow up like in other games. I do, however like the bullet hole/gore thing.

[Chris]

That stuff from the Turkish mag was fake, because:

1) The guy who posted on GameFAQs is a known hoaxer.

2) There are NO Xbox magazines in Turkey

Consoles just don't sell in some countries, and Turkey is one of them.

1. Believable

2. Doubt it, then it would be like The Getaway and The Getaway sucked

3. Believable

4. Maybe, but Saint's Row already did it

5. Lol, like the $6 million man amirite?

6. Stupid

7. Cool

8. Weren't girlfriends confirmed in an earlier, reliable news posting?

9. Secksy, maybe some good rewards this time, instead of that lousy t-shirt

10. Good

11. Awesome

12. No shit

[surrealistic ArtSweet]

the getaway's not that sucked, they have original gameplay.

and this is an absolute fake, especially the girlfriend part

and the 6): this has been done in GTA I, and i'll tell ya, it's f*cking hard to catch one mission

and the land size are confirmed, it will not as big as SA, only better and no wasted space

[Red_91]

I knew this was fake, why would people just create stupid rumours? they are stupid

[Patty-T]

What pleasure do these people get out of spreading lies?

[tilly]

a feel of being special and cool. its totally superficial though.

[chris82]

The Getaway did suck, it had (compared to GTA) few weapons, no map, no HUD, no radio, no interiors, basically no interactivity outside the story missions. Sure I played through it and I liked the story, but it's not even in the same league as any GTA game. And putting its features into a GTA game? No.

[Snazzybacon]

anyways it has been confirmed a long time ago that girlfriend will apear in the game

and for the ever lasting sprint i doubt it i even think that niko will get tired of runing normaly for a while (i mean who can keep running and still dont lose their breath?)
