- There are now underwater missions
- When using a powerful weapon close-up it will remove the body part completely
- If you ever get lost, you will receive a phone call on your Cell Phone to put you back on track.
- There could be kids in the game, it also has ‘make a quick getaway on some kids bike’ and ‘There is so much going on. Cars, bikes, citizens, gangs, kids’. Then remember there is an amusement park.
- There is a mention of CJ being able to surf, but it’s not confirmed
- You can do certain stealth kills with melee weapons, each weapon having a different animation. E.g. with a knife you impale the blade into their necks.
- CJ actually has his own crib in Orange Grove
- Peds can sleep and also you can do stealth kills while they are sleeping too
- You can visit shops, markets and drug related businesses in Hashury
- You can play basketball by yourself or take on other people
- There are pubs in the country towns
- Angel Pine is the size of 2 Vice City Blocks
- There is a motel up on Mount Chiliad
- You can also add artistic designs on your car at TransFender
- You can now power slide with the handbrake, and not so stiff and quick like previous GTA’s.
- Not only does your cars structure get damaged, but modifications made on your get bent and wrecked too.
- You can fly 3x higher then in VC
- Gambling is a stat and is increased based on your maximum bets
- You can only play at some tables if you are a high roller
- Recruiting gang members depends on your respect level
How Turf Owning Works:
To take over turf you go to enemy territory and start taking out the rival gang. After you survive a couple waves of attacking, the turf now belongs to OGF, and as such they will start spawning on the street. Every now and then someone from a rival gang will try to take the turf back...So you got to scrap together a posse and defend it.
- When you are inside the Dodo, there is an altimeter showing you exactly how high you are. Along with that, we hear that the number of airborne vehicles have 'vastly increased' including the faster and more maneuverable biplane Crop Duster. You can perform death-defying barrel loops, hammerheads and rolls to impress the country folk.
- If you cycle all of the way up Mount Chilliad on a BMX, which takes a good 30 minutes, you'll have to option to take part in a race to the bottom where competitors will even try to knock you off the mountain!
- There is now a fully working bull dozer that allows you to go on a wrecking rampage, flipping cars, terrorizing sidewalks and causing as much mayhem as possible. It's also said that Rockstar North have made vast improvements to the level of interaction with the environment, and as such there's now much more opportunity to completely destroy everything, whether it be discarded milk crates, white picket fences, plants, outdoor furniture or anything else that looks like you should be able to destroy it with a big and powerful vehicle.
- In the countryside you can start fires in many ways, including throwing a molotov cocktail or detonating a car. The smallest flame can start a forest fire. Even buildings in the path of the fire will burn down. The fire department usually arrive in time to extinguish the fire, but sometimes you may have to use your own fire extinguisher to clear a path, or even rescue someone from a fire. Missions perhaps?
- You have the ability to do "Trucker Missions" for a company called RU Haul. These will have a timer, and will most likely be sub-missions such as Vigilante in previous games.
- The game not only records whether it's day or night, but will even record which day of the week it is! The moon will also slowly go through it's 30 day cycle, changing slightly every night.
- Weapons have skill attributes assigned to them, and you can build up the following skills by using the weapons more and more:
Reload Time, Fire Rate, Accuracy, Weapon Stance & Movement, Dual Weapons
