Read some info today at work, not sure if it's old or what...
Apparently it will be "neither an expansion nor sequel but the next installment in the GTA series" (Doesn't that make it a sequel? Silly buggers.) Set entirely in the 80's as we know with clothing, music etc to match.
10 hours of recorded music which is like 3 or so times more than the original game had. Looking at apparently the biggest soundtrack ever. Can't remember the exact names of those signed on already...
1 and a half hours of cut scenes are included in the game with "major" Hollywood stars putting their hands up to do voice acting. I believe I remember Ray Liotta being named as doing voices for the main character. The amount of speech will be greatly increased with 4 hours of pedestrian speech alone.
There will be around 40 weapons apparently in comparison to GTA3's 13 and around 100 cars to drive around in. In addition, the cars will sustain individual damage to headlights, etc and this will affect how the car drives.
Finally, as we've heard, there will be buildings which are now interactive. I think I read "disco" and "club" as just a couple but I'll try and confirm all that.
Sounds like this is really shaping up to be one hell of a "next installment".
LAZY, ALL OF YOU!
