Grand Theft Auto IV Missing a Promised Feature
It always sucks when games ship with a promised feature missing. With the release of Grand Theft Auto IV right around the corner, we're coming to find out more about the game. In this instance, the latest issue of EGM has confirmed that listening to music through Niko's cell phone while walking around the city has been removed. We aren't told why, but the fact remains, a cool feature is gone.
See Full ImageInterestingly enough, this isn't the first time a GTA game has had a feature changed or removed, as we recall San Andreas was supposed to be shipped on a dual layer DVD. But when it came down to it, San Andreas ended up launching on a standard DVD, with other earlier planned features missing too.
We're wondering if gamers will be able to find more missing features once the game launches next week on the 29th. I guess we have to wait and see. Until then, let's hope we don't hear about any more missing features until the game arrives.

The decision obviously wasn't made because of hardware constraints, so I really believe this to be true. And you know what? I can see why they would do something like this. If you were able to walk around listening to the radio all the time, it wouldn't be as special any more. There's probably a lot of stuff on the radio, but it's not unlimited. They don't want to show it to you all at once. Once that happened (once you started hearing repeats) it would remove a lot of the *feeling* of the game, and they really worked hard to make the game *feel* the way it does, to make it *feel* alive. Repeats would make the game feel, well, stale.

I think that was very rediculous since the PS3 already has some scenes where PS3 owners will be able to use the abilities of the six-axis controller to figure out how to get through the mission or task...it's good to be a PS3 owner...
