Well normally on "games" when you go somewhere you're not meant to go, there is a physical restriction in the way.

Such as an invisible wall that is impassible.

There are barriers, but no invisible walls. On foot, you cannot generally get around those barriers. However, if you jack a helicopter and fly over, then yeah, the police don't like that lol.

Some spoilers below check em if you want, if not wait until Tuesday.

- you can travel the city via the subway system you can view from three cameras including an onboard CCTV camera, two external fly by cameras also.

- Train rides are free! :)

- Be evil to innocent people, and people walking by will turn on you and gang up against you, same if you jack a car, a member of the public may pursue you.

- the mobile phone in game, you can set its ringtones, and change its profiles just like a real mobile phone, for example, i placed it on Vibrate and my 360 contoller began vibrating when i recieved a call! frickin cool or what!

- Weather is dynamic as is the Day and Night Cycle. Rain/Fog etc

- Cars have two headlights mode, Normal Night Lights, and Main Beams, these are considerably brighter as the normal lights in use by cars as default at night are kind of dim

- Save games take place in your apartment, Niko goes to sleep and rises to the sound of an alarm clock.

- Games are now in game too, you can take contacts or girls who you take out for dates, to Bowling / Darts / Casino or Strip Club, each person you meet has a favourite and least favourite activity

- An achievement is to get 180 in darts within three throws.

- Another few achievements relate to ingame mini games. (it feels a bit like PlayStation Home's mini games idea)

- The second island is shut due to a terrorist scare, the brooklyn bridge is sealed off with police and concrete road blocks, although the second island looks spectacular

- Radio stations are aplenty in game, can be turned off aswell.

- Ringtones can be chosen for your mobile phone, and your mobile phone can also be switched off, the story continues when it is turned back on again.

- Strip clubs are kinda cool places to hang out if that interests you i guess.

- Have not noticed a Fire truck yet, no idea if they are in game.

- Ambulances are kind of wobbly to drive

- Anyone commiting a crime will be pursued by police, it works on a radar system, to escape police get out of the flashing zone on your HUD.

- Fuel prices in game seem reasnoble.

- You replenish your health from Hot Dog stands and Burger Joints in the City, you buy a hot dog for $1 and your health is boosted.

do you need to refuel in the game?

Plenty of cars pull into refuel, including police, there are even queues at fuel stations, as for actually refuelling your car, i have absolutely no idea, i would educate a guess at no, due to the fact that i have not seen a fuel meter as i drive around liberty city.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
