GTA IV News, a Little Late

We're a bit behind with the new posts, but I hope you'll forgive us. This horror was down to two things: there wasn't really any new info, and my daily schedule has been pretty packed lately. Now, though - to finally talk about something worthwhile - I have a little time to refresh the site's information base.

After the delay was announced, the magazines, lacking any actual information, started guessing (again). Some of those guesses turned out to be true, but the most important piece of info is that the game will be set in October 2007, the originally planned release date.

• The XBOX 360 version of the game is already 80% complete.
• The story takes place in October 2007.
• Niko can work on several missions at once, and he can check his tasks in the To-Do list on his mobile phone. Knowing this, we can say almost for sure that we'll be able to save during missions, too.
• Niko can double the taxi tip to make the driver go twice as fast.
• Pedestrians cough, sniffle, smoke, and even mumble to themselves.
• It's unlikely that you'll see two identical cars or people in a given area.
• During the game, Niko has to hide the bigger weapons so he doesn't attract too much attention.
• The offices in the city are big and have multiple rooms; the minor glitches found in the PS2 games are no longer in the game.
