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.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
