German magazine Games Aktuell (on sale from today) has a new preview on GTA IV, which also includes 20 new screenshots. There were a few tidbits of information flying around the other day, supposedly from this magazine - there were some very sketchy details in it, specifically regarding K9 Units - it turns out these were fabricated by another GameFAQs user. This info below however, is real information from the magazine, translated into English.
* The girl in the artwork (sucking the lollipop) is called Lola
* Taxi drivers play a very important role in Liberty City - With just a push of a button, Niko can get a ride from "A to B" straight away.
* Additionally, the taxi driver will fulfil some of Niko's requests, for example if Niko is hungry, the cab will drive him to the nearest fast food restaurant. If hurt, then he'll drive to the hospital - places are accessible very quickly this way.
* The only time you can't get a cab ride is when the cops are after you
* On that note, cops appear on your map as dots (while they're searching for you)
* The preview Games Aktuell were shown lasted 45 minutes - it was played twice
* Similar to Saints Row, your radar will display a yellow line guiding you to your destination
* It takes Niko roughly 3 seconds to hot-wire a vehicle.
* The targeting system is improved and there are different hit zones
* Niko uses his mobile phone and the Internet regularly
* The editors reported seeing vehicles including Ferraris, Porsche Carrera (Comet), Volkswagen Jetta, BMWs, Mustangs, SUVs, delivery vans and garbage trucks.
* Rockstar demonstrated the game to Games Aktuell on a 60" plasma screen, which didn't have Full HD capability - "this didn't matter because all Rockstar games are programmed "only" in 720p, with 1280x720 pixels" - this is an interesting quote as a lot of people have wondered whether they'll get to play the game in full 1080i/p resolution, seems like it will just be 720p for now, at least on the Xbox 360. It's not known whether the PS3 version will be able to take advantage of the higher resolution. Of course, both consoles can always upscale the game.

- During the demo, Jacob's wares include a 9mm, shotgun, SMG and micro SMG.
- At TW@ cafe, using a "pretty convincing" looking web browser, Niko visits the Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster website and uploads his CV at there.
- The details, that the reporters could hold from the CV, were, (i) Niko was on the Balkan Peace Force, (ii) He is proficient in swimming, shooting and boxing.
- You'll be able to reach "Statue of Happiness" either via boat or by swimming out to it.
- Comet is confirmed to appear again in the game. As Niko steals a black one to drive to Humboldt Riverview Point, during the demo.
- the 9/11 terrorist attacks and Ground Zero will not be mentioned nor referenced anywhere in GTA IV.

* Little Jacob offered weapons including a 9mm pistol, a shotgun, an SMG, and a micro SMG
* McReary's first name is Francis, and he knows about a felony Niko committed
* Another vehicle is confirmed as it is noted that Niko stole a black Comet before heading off to the Humboldt River Viewpoint to kill the man who has McReary's memory stick.
* Before Niko submitted his C.V. to the Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster website, OXM noticed that his C.V. notes that he was on the "Balkan Peace Force" and that he is adept at swimming, shooting and boxing.
* Karen is the name of the receptionist from Goldberg, Ligner & Shyster, who calls Niko to notify him of his interview. It's not known if she is an important character or not.
* There are no references to the September 11th terrorist attacks anywhere in the game.
* Swimming is a confirmed feature
The "Balkan Peace Force" fact is more evidence that Niko is not Russian. There are still some websites saying he is - an Xbox.com editor recently made the mistake of saying Niko is a Russian immigrant. Now if you remember back to the last time OXM had a preview, you might recall the following quote from Dan Houser:
OXM: You've talked about picking culturally different neighbourhoods. Can you reveal any of the gang cultures apart from the Russians?
Dan Houser: I can't reveal gangs too much yet, but one of the things that appealed to us about a) this character (who isn't actually Russian, he's Eastern European, although there will be plenty of Russian gangsters in there) and b ) the story and the world [...]

Two New Teaser Sites On The Way?
posted by Slim Trashman @ 08:39 PM CDT | Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | Comments: 1
Keep an eye on the following URLs, as they have been highly speculated to be GTA IV teaser sites: goldberglignerandshyster.com , Love-Meet.net.
These domains show similar registration details to that of WKTT Radio leading us to believe they are official GTA IV teaser sites. Love-Meet.net is pretty much confirmed due to its advertisement on the billboard in this screenshot.

Preview From Games Aktuell (Germany)
posted by victim @ 04:50 AM CDT | Grand Theft Auto IV - General News | Comments: 1
Three days ago Games Aktuell magazine surfaced across the web, however, the information was rumored false. Today, actual information from the German magazine was found. It is quite possible more information will pop up in the not too distant future, as the article is in the process of being translated.
- The taxi drivers will play a significant role into the gameplay. If Niko wants to go to point B, from point A, on the map, he can take the ride with just a push of a button.
- This time, taxi drivers will fulfill some special wishes for the Player. If Niko feels hungry, the Yellow Cab will drive him to the next Food restaurant. If Niko is hurt, then the taxi-driver will drive to the nearest hospital. So, each place is reachable, by taxi, in a matter of few seconds.
- Though, you can't take the taxi ride, while police are after you.
- Police will appear on the map as 'dots', while they are on search for you.
- Niko Bellic uses his mobile phone and the Internet, on regular basis.
- On the streets of LC, the reporters saw - Ferrari, Volkswagen Jetta, BMWs, Mustangs, SUVs, delivery vans, garbage trucks.
- Niko's mobile phone is a phone, messenger, Organizer, photo camera and GPS - all in one.
- The map will have GPS, which shows you the best way (will be colored in Yellow) towards your target.
- Improved target system with different hitzones.
- For the first time, Niko can be steered in all directions, while the past GTAs allowed the character to move only at 8 directions.
- Hot-wiring a car takes about 3 seconds.
- As it were in the good old 3D GTAs, drive-bys is going to be another returning feature for the game. This time, you won't get unnoticed of the emotion running, on the main character's face, during the whole action.
- In the mission, which involves the killing of the Lawyer Mr. Goldberg, there is a dialogue between him and Niko (after Niko pulled out his gun).
Goldberg says: ?I don?t fear guns. You know, guns don?t kill people - Videogames kill people.?
- The following shootout with the police is one of the best ever in a GTA-game according to the magazine. You have to cover and shoot while things fly through the room from the bullets. One policeman even fell down the escalator when they shoot him in the knee.
- The girl, in the artwork with lollipop, is named Lola and she is available for special hours.

Something interesting to note is that the Wii version is being developed by Rockstar Leeds, the same studio behind the PSP GTA titles, and not R* Toronto who developed the Wii version of Manhunt 2. We now know that the studio behind the "Stories" series of GTA is all set to develop titles for the Wii, so chances are looking even greater for a San Andreas Stories on this platform, likely in addition to a PSP version. Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis is coming to the Nintendo Wii in fall of this year. Check out the source for this news.
