New Grand Theft Auto IV Details, Screens

By Alex Petraglia on Wednesday, January 23, 2008 at 2:00 PM EST  

Stephen Totilo, MTV.com’s resident gaming blogger, recently had the opportunity to see what’s being described as the “biggest entertainment event of 2008.” He’s now sharing his first-hand experiences with Grand Theft Auto IV, clearly outlining what’s new to the series and what classic elements players will enjoy when the game is released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this spring.

So much can be expressed in a 90-minute demo. The Rockstar team demonstrated the game’s new dynamic car chases, which weave in scripted events that are triggered if certain situations align. For instance, during a hot pursuit past the Liberty City airport, Niko had to dodge barrels that came tumbling out of a swerving van. Other special events not shown but mentioned by Rockstar include a gas tanker driving into a gas station, or a completely unrelated car chase involving other crooks and cops whizzing by. These events won’t happen in completely predictable ways, and players won’t see them every time.

If that’s not enough GTA for you, enjoy these newly released screenshots.
