Quoted for the lazy...
General
- The game is more serious than the others, but the elements of comedy are still there.
- A full staff of reasearch personnel at Rockstar have been studying Las Vegas, San Diego, and Los Angeles for months to ensure that they truly capture the feelings of these cities.
Location
- The game will not take place in Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Las Vegas. It will take place IN ALL THREE as well as the countryside in between.
- Los Angeles will be called Los Santos, San Francisco will be called San Fieero, and Las Vegas will be called Las Venturra.
- Each city is about the same size as Vice City.
- Not all cities will be open at the start of the game.
- The entire game will be about four to six times as large as Vice City.
- San Fierro (San Francisco) will have hills. This city is more driving based.
- You can drive from LA, through the countryside, up a mountain, into San Fran, and onto Las Vegas.
- Driving through the desert won’t be empty and plain with a couple cacti...it will be vibrant and alive with weird things to see.
- There will be a lot more buildings with open interiors.
Graphics
- The graphics engine has been tweaked. Smog will be present in LA, and real-time reflections on cars, windows, and mirrors, as well as new techniques like radial lighting, which allows for more realistic shadowing, and soft-shadow lighting for interior levels will be present.
- Everything in the game now has independent models for day and night to give better lighting and shadowing.
- The game will have ragdoll physics, or “impact animation” in Rockstar’s words.
Vehicles
- As for vehicles, there will be pimped-out lowriders, and 90’s versions of some GTA3/VC cars will return.
- There will be bicycles.
Story
- Characters from the past will return.
Gameplay
- In the Las Vegas city, you will be able to buy and build a casino - and then run it.
- You can then gamble your money in the casino.
- Your character can dual wield pistols and potentially other weapons.
- You need to eat to retain your stamina. If you eat too much fast food, you become fat and pedestrians mock you for being fat. You also run slower. To remedy this, you can go to a gym to exercise.
- You can now rob homes. The robberies will require skill and planning, however.
- You can recruit gang members and use them to do four person drive-by’s.
Weapons
- The choice of weapons will match the time in which the era of the early 90's.
Artificial Intelligence
- Enemy/pedestrian AI will be greatly revamped and they will think more logically. You can't beat someone to death in broad daylight and not have people notice and react.
- Your enemies will be smarter, which will make robbing houses take a lot of skill.
Music
- There will be a rap station, but there will be a variety of other stations as always.

I hope it's not all true.
To me, everything sounded good, except for the "character must eat for stamina" crap.
The Sims is a good game and all, but this is not a Sims type of game. I don't see how this adds anything to the gameplay, just an inconvenience.
Anyone else catch that part?

Here's hoping for the custom soundtrack on the eventual Xbox release.

Where is rockstar? I dunno. I couldn't find them and I'm media! Rockstar was not representing. They could have easily taken the prize if they showed off this gem.
First GTA game I buy new.

Thank God there will be other radio stations to chose from besides just (c)rap. Couldn't cope with Streets of L.A. 100% gangsta music.
4-6x bigger than VC? Excellent.
Robbing homes? Excellent.
Can't wait...

So is San Diego in the game as well? It says they had people there checking it out, but it's not mentioned as one of the 3 cities.
It'd be sweet to drive around in the game near where I live
