Some things that have been confirmed:
-16 player multiplayer with 15 game modes + full character customization:
http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/859/859654p1.html-Release is 29th of April.
-You can play the local radio stations on your phone.
-Has a new cover system similar to Gears of war/Drakes fortune.
-Drink driving mini game.
- No planes but Bikes, boats, cars, trucks are all drivable.
- Cars to have Sat Nav.
- New way that police chase you, when you do a crime a circle will appear around you on the radar, to lose the police you have to get beyond that circle without being seen, if you get seen the circle places itself on your last location. The more wanted stars = the bigger the circle.
- You can call the police as a distraction, steal their car and then use the police DB to look up people.
- New action camera angle thingy, apparently it'll slow the game down and make it look very cool, they said it was handy for busy roads, getting in and out of traffic but i really don't know anything about it tbh
- You CAN SWIM but you CAN'T dive under.
- Getting a girlfriend and all those stupid stats from GTA SA have been removed (THANK GOD.)
- No more Ammo Nation to buy your guns, you now get them from dealers on the street.
- When you fail a mission you now have an option to load it up from the start point instead of having to drive all the way back also all missions now quicksave when you complete them.
- No loading times, you can go in and out of buildings and all over with NO LOADING.
- If the police pull you out of the car instead of being instantly busted like in the previous games you now have "more of a chance" whatever that means.
That's all i can remember, there was an article on it with everything rockstar has confirmed but i couldn't find it so i relied on my bad memory instead. These things could change but er i doubt it.
edit: And GTA can be like that, it#'s the idea of a sandbox game you can do what you want but if you're following the story line it's more like one of those gangster films you see.
