Please!
Hmm, I'm still early in the game but there is one example that stands out......
I think you're going to have a lot more choices during missions. That one scene in the second trailer where you see that guy fall onto the truck is something thats in your control. You have the choice to save him.

Rockstar finally nailed the targeting system. Holding the left trigger all the way locks on your target and the camera goes into RE4 mode. While locked on it works similar to crackdown. From hear just flicking the right stick will target you specified body part. Heres where its different from crackdown. You cant just flick the right stick up and lock on for head shots. You're required to slightly hold the right stick in the desired location otherwise it zeros back in to the center mass of your target.
God I hope I explained that well. It will make so much more sense once you get you hands on it.
Its pretty funny to shoot a cop in the leg and see him limp to the back of his squad car for cover.

That said, is it easy to aim freely? Like do you find it hard to hold the trigger only partially?

...I mean, it's not slowish thrusts either in GTAIV ...she's riding him ...and not in a way that could get by on regular TV
San Andreas, it was crude and just silly...but with the animations in GTAIV and waay more enhanced visuals....yeah, I can see this making waves

Nope, its second nature. At least on the 360 pad.Grimm Fandango said:

Did you get the special edition or just the game? If you got the special edition, whats included in the sampler soundtrack? How many pages is the artbook? Whats the build quality of the duffel bag? Who's in the disk art; Niko, Lollipop Girl, or Elizabeta?

Wouldnt RE4 mode be the free aim over the shoulder mode?

Nice - thanks. The main thing I noticed was the persistence of vehicles; driving past a line of traffic at the lights, including a motor cycle, Niko's vehicle hit a heap of other cars on the other side before spinning around. Niko jumps out and the camera swings around, and the first line of vehicles are still there, including the motor bike which Niko jacks. One of the things I didn't like about past GTAs has seemingly been addressed to a large extent.
The only real popup I noticed was my penis and a guard rail 20 or so metres away (it's the 360 version). It's certainly not enough for me to change to the PS3 version and it's less than stellar triggers on the controller.

Ouch.
This is the best thing.
Damn. Which version do I get?
Has it been confirmed if the DLC will add new areas or just new missions? If it's only new missions, I'll be less keen and will be leaning towards the PS3. But if it's new areas to explore and new missions, I'll be probably lean towards the 360.

I wouldn't be surprised, if the PS3 version really is "superior", that Rockstar would have gimped the 360 one to have more people buy both versions

Hmmm, I doubt they were somehow "shooting for that", but anyhow - the fact that you can install on the PS3 probably accounts for the supposed "better" experience.
It's all about load access times it sounds like. I'm sure the differences are negligible.

That's not really nuts. I'm going to buy 360 right now because of friends/I don't own a PS3, but in the future I'm going to buy GTA4 again if it's released on PC, otherwise I'll pick it up when I get a PS3 later this year.

Hell yes. And it probably will, since such a HIGH profile game pulls this off so well. From now on game developers will have a lot more pressure on them to use Euphoria or some similar implementation. Games like this tend to set standards that everyone else has to try to live up to later on.
