New Information givin by PLAY MAGIZINE UK
-- While targetting an opponent, the camera will move to just above CJ's right shoulder, giving the player a better
view of the action. Holding the target button longer will aim towards the opponent's head.
-- Draw distances are confirmed
as being 2x higher than Vice City in the urban areas and 4x higher in the rural areas.
-- Streets are now much more full,
with the feeling of 'emptiness' from Vice City now completely gone. There will be an endless stream of other cars for CJ to
steal.
-- Two small towns in the rural areas have been named as Angel Pine and Dillamore
-- The legendary mountain has
been named as Mount Chiliaid, and is over half a mile tall. Rivers, beaten tracks and cliff top roads criss cross what can
be described as the largest object in any Grand Theft Auto game, ever.
-- A female character from a previous game will
return, lodging in a forest cabin which CJ will come to use as a hideout.
-- One mission involves Carl and his unnamed
female accomplice travelling to Dillamore gas station, attempting to rob the office, but being hampered by the bullet proof
glass recently installed by the owner. Instead, Carl and friend steal the fuel tanker which is sitting outside. One twist
- the fuel tank trailer isn't connected to the front, so Carl must connect the two. Once an escape has been made, players
must take care not to jack-knife the vehicle on the treacherous rural roads, all the while being chased by the owners of the
gas station in their cars.
Vehicles-- Combine Harvesters will be included, and are likely able to be player
controlled.
-- Mobile Hot Dog Vans will be present, but as yet no missions involving sales are confirmed.
-- The police
helicopter will include a spotlight which can be shot out.
-- Updated versions of the Walton, Voodoo, Sabre, Sanchez,
Patriot & Linerunner (with or without trailer) will be present.
-- A 4x4 vehicle (four wheel drive) will be incorporated
in the rural areas, allowing players to traverse the bumpy terrain with ease.
-- For the ultimate driver, a monster truck
will allow for the crossing of extremely difficult ridges, bumps and even shallow rivers.
