More details on Rockstar's other, less controversial action game (who thought we'd ever be saying that?) have appeared on the net via the Turkish Official Xbox Magazine.
Among the new tidbits in the mag, the most interesting comments describe GTA IV's new time-based elements. Apparently, missions will be more thoroughly tied-in with the events of the world. For example - and hypothetically speaking - if you're tasked with catching a train and miss it, you won't be able to do that particular mission.
It all sounds a bit Majora's Mask. Explosions are also said to make an... erm, explosive return, with one mission based entirely around chain-detonating cars. Vehicles, however, only explode now when you bullseye them with a rocket launcher, rather than blowing up via a simple car crash.
Here's the full list of new info:
-There's a slight vibration with every footstep when you run
- The HUD has been removed. If you have armor, you actually have a bulletproof vest which visually deteriorates
- Flame throwers and rocket launchers are still in the game
- Niko doesn't get tired. You can run forever, it just wont be as fast as previously.
- Gore is back and better. Bullet wounds show, blood appears where you shoot people. Enemies limp if you shoot them in the leg and hold their arm if you shoot their arm. Apparently when you run someone over it's quite disturbing.
- No eating, girlfriends or keeping fit- but your skills do improve over time (driving, etc.)
