Computerbild-Spiele’s Grand Theft Auto IV Preview

Eleven new screenshots and one new artwork has emerged from German Magazine Computerbild-Spiele - amazing! It’s a wonder how German magazines and sites always have exclusive information and screenshots, but it’s a whopping number of eleven screenhsots and one new artwork!

A summary of this new preview can be seen below. Meanwhile, please bear with the blury scans of the Grand Theft Auto IV five-page preview of the Computerbild-Spiele magazine. Hopefully, the screenshots will be released in its original, high-resolution digital format.

The preview shown was a hands-on, as opposed to a preview played by a Rockstar Games representative - the game was played by the journalists instead, with the same missions that were mentioned in the online previews last month.

We can understand that pedestrian reactions are now more realistic. Also, The WASTED! system is still intact - you end up at the nearest hospital in the next morning with your weapons confiscated after your character’s heath reaches zero. A double button press will now be required to get into a car; the second button press is required to start up the car’s engine after you have gotten into the vehicle.

Also, Niko Bellic wears helmets while riding motorcycles, as seen in the second Grand Theft Auto IV trailer. The surroundings are also interactive - bullet holes will result from gunfire, and the environment will react to explosions. You can find “useful things” in vehicles that you hijack.

Although scheduled for April 29th, just two months away from release, there is still lots more for us to uncover. Thanks to Freezer89 for the amazing news and GTA4.net for the summary! Stay tuned for the latest news on the most anticipated game of 2008 - Grand Theft Auto IV - right here!
