Charger Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) Official Xbox Magazine has a hands on preview for us, with minor new details: -Traffic is dense, just as you'd expect it to be in New York -Grab a frank from a hot-dog vendor for a health boost. Bump his cart, thought, and he'll get upset and refuse to serve you! -We saw an ice-cream truck, but it wasn't Mr. Whoopee. It's now called Cherry Popper -In dense areas like Algonquin, painted yellow lines adjacent to safehouses serve as GTA IV's garages. Park your car there and it'll remain there indefinitely. -Stop and pay at the toll booths! You'll draw the law's attention if you don't. -Expect some platforming elements. One mission we played had Niko Shimmying along a roof's edge as he climbed his way to top.-You can phone Little Jacob during missions and have him bring you weapons in the trunk of his car. -Clicking on ATMs lets you check your money supply. The girlfriends feature is the same as it is in San Andreas, pick up the girl, take her to a restaurant, drive her home, etc. We also got us one scanned page with a new screenshot of Niko and a rocket launcher: OXM Page 1 Thanks to DC88 For the info!

CaptJohn Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Thanks for the Info! I wonder if you can steal the hot dogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotYouHaha Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Aw no. I never liked that girlfriend feature, it's just that everything is too repeative and picking up girls at certain times is annoying , and that not what GTA is about ----GTA's about crimes & etc. Also, Cherry Popper is an ice-cream brand advertised on outsides of ice cream trucks in GTA, not Mr. Whoopee---it'd never say 'Mr Whoopee' on the outside of trucks; Mr. Whoopee is the vehicle name (right?) And I hope they didn't mean you have to always go to an ATM to check your money supply--- you'd have to run and search for 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanoutlaw Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I got that one too, good read. OXM also mentioned the return of the Turismo (one of my SA favorites) & the girlfriend was "needy" or "High Maintenance". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
†Ĵасқ•×•Āѕніяамі† Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Damn wonder the gf's must be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanoutlaw Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 The first law of video games, everything serves a purpose. GF probably lets you make connections for missions or you could call for a ride, something basic but occasionally useful (speculation). Even being high maintenance, shell eventually prove at least a little useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
