 We finally got an Anwser from GamePro. We thank them for there cooperation.

How long is the Game acutally?

As always with GTA Games, it is quite hard to say how long it is, everyone has a different way of playing it and with all the Sidemissions there is quite alot to do. We think that the length can likely be compared with that of other GTA titles.

Will there finally be a Multiplayer Mode?

Yes, with different kinds of Gameplay.

Are there Clothing stores?

Yes, quite a few Stores invite one to go shopping, however, it will not be possible to dress Nico like a Freak.


Can Nico swim?

Yes, Nico can swim but he cannot Dive.


Is GTA IV much smaller then San Andreas?

Liberty City is about as large as San Andreas, however a little bit more compact - that means that there are, unlike in San Andreas, no large ''empty'' spaces.


Will there be different Seasons?

No, the entire Game takes place in Autumn.


How is the Water quality?

Averrave. The Water in Games like Halo 3 or BioShock look alot better. The Water in GTA IV however still fits if you look at the
Game as a whole. It fits in the big Picture.


We know there will be Weathereffects, but what about Storms, Snow, Hail and Thunderstorms?

We have already seen Rain and Thunderstorms. The Games plays in Autumn, so there will be no Snow. We also doubt that there will be Hail.


Are there any differences between the 360 and PS3 Versions?

Kai was able to play the PlayStation 3 Version of GTA IV. Sadly however Take2 does not want us to tell anything about it
at the Time being. More on that soon.


How stabile is the Framerate?

In the Versions we have been shown to date, the Framerate only sunk by extreme difficult Scenes, for instance while driving over Star Junction (Times Square).


How is the Wideview? Are the Draw-Ins disturbing and are there Pop-Ups?


The Wideview is fantastic. The Games gets it by having the Objects in a distance with only low Res Textures and a new Sharpfilter.


How well does the Aim-System work? Are the Problems with Enemys behind you?

The System works great. Its the kind of like alot of other Action Games, Uncharted for instance.


Are the Cars easy to control like in San Andreas or not?

The Cars drive the same way they do in San Andreas, thanks to the new Physics-Engine however alot more realistic.


Are there Checkpoints in Missions?

There are no classic Checkpoints in Missions. In some Missions, that takeplace over a few Days and Phases it is possible to Save as usual. If you don't accomplish
a Mission you will be able to ''teleport'' right to the Start of it with your Cellphone.


How would you compare GTA IV to other Open World Games on terms of Graphics?

If you want to call Assaassin's Creed an Open World-Game, then GTA IV plays, even though it has a complete different Stlye, in the same league.


ss the Game very brutale or was the Brutality shortend in comparison to the other GTA titles?

If you watch a Scene, in which Nico snipes Enemys from a Crane, who then fall onto parked Cars, you can't speak of a shortining.


Is the entire City open from the beginning?

No, the different parts of the City become Open as the Story proceeds.


Where was the Presentation?

In the Munich Take 2 Offices.


What was the best experience you made while playing the Game?

Perfect Parking over a 180 degree turn with the Handbreak.


Were you expectations beat?

No, but they were perfectly matched.


Is Liberty City large?

Yes, Liberty City feels large and above all else it feels very alive.


How would you describe the Graphics in comparison to Saints Row?

The Graphics of GTA IV are much more Organic. With the help of different Filters and the brilliant Lighting, Rockstar creates a stunning Game.


What can you tell us about the Loading time?

Nothing really as this can change until the Final release.


Do the Cars set there blinker when turning?

Truth told, we didn't pay any attention to that, if it is the Case then only NPCs do that.


Is it true that Pedestrians always call the Cops when they see you with a Gun?

It's possible, but no, not always.


What about the Damage in GTA IV? Is it Programmed or does it change depending on what happend?

The Damage to Cars changes realistic depending on what happend. If you crash into a Hydrant your car will have damage at that spot.


How is the Wanted-Level shown? Have the Stars returned?

Yes, the Wanted-Level is shown with the same 5 Stars as always.

While driving, is the Camera centered behind the Car?

No, it is a bit more to the left and with out more behind the Driver.


How does the Gameplay feel?

Like a Controller, you can't feel Gameplay. Enough Fun. The Game doesn't feel overfilled allthough there are alot new Elements like the Cellphone. It stills plays the way a GTA should.


Have the Soundeffects in comparison to the old Trilogie changed?

Well, Cars sound like Cars, Gunshots like Gunshots. Rockstar however did not use the old Sound-Database as far as we can tell.


Will the Police chase you like in Driver if you run a Red Light?

No, running a Red Light doesn't seem to be all that bad of a thing.


How many different Vehicles will there be?

Like so many things, you will be able to compare it with others GTAs.


Which Buildings were entered in the Presentation? Do you have to press a certain Butto to enter them?

There are certain Buildings that you can enter, many however are closed. These Buildings are shown by a Symbol at the Entrance.
