I would hope by now that people have moved on enough to allow a video game to have airplanes in a city that's modeled after New York.

Meh, it could just the case that it wouldnt make sense.

I still would like to have planes, and I'm pretty sure they probalby will, atleast helicopters.

I wonder how good the missions are.

i wonder how they will make a living breathing new york, i bought saints row, its not bad but the civilians are just walking around or driving, thats it

It's been confirmed in the most recent Game Informer that there will be no planes in the game.

Which sucks.

Oh ok...Yeah......Expected.

America is just too sensitive a country.

You really think thats the reason they'res no planes. Kinda of precaution because of the "hot coffee" mod.

It sucks that they're wont be planes, but I kinda of understand thier position. They got totally ****ed up because of the coffee mod, and I really dont think videogames need that kinda of bad publicity right now.

So yeah, it totally sucks, but hopefully, they'res atleast helicopters.

What other reason could thier be?

What do Airplanes have to do with two blocky characters engaging in a hidden sex minigame?

Controversy.

Pundits would go after GTA4 because they have planes and its based in New York. That would create controversy, especially when somebody Youtubes crashing an jumbo jet into buildings.

Controversy is something Rockstar maybe dont want and might be a reason to not include planes. The reason why they dont want controversy is because of the hot coffee mod and the massive backlash Rockstar recieved.

I hope the city is Massive, like GTA SA big. I also hope that it will be 2 player, or LAN, where 2 or more players can chase eachother around the city, or work together on hard missions or even work agianst eachother on missions.

Also it would be fun if when a mission was failed it couldn't be redone but it opened other opportunities, like if you killed the boss your working for there wouldn't be anymore missions from him but you could start to work for his enermy.

First GTA IV Gameplay details
Flying still a feature of Grand Theft Auto IV.
by Rob Burman, IGN UK

April 24, 2007 - The first gameplay details of Rockstar's upcoming epic Grand Theft Auto IV have been unveiled, just a couple of weeks since the first teaser trailer caused a major stir across the world.

Game Informer's Andrew Reiner -- one of the few journalists to see the game -- lifted the lid on some of the features we can expect to see when GTA IV launches in October.

Top of the list is the fact that players can fly across Liberty City, although not in planes. "There are no airplanes in the game but flying is still there," he explained. "One means of this is the helicopter. This is just one city and a plane really doesn't fit into that very well for gameplay. Flying is still very much a large part of the game."

Reiner also said that the driving experience was far closer to something like Midnight Club rather than previous GTA titles and that the camera angle sat closer to the car, which showed off vehicles in more detail and also enabled players to see more of the city as they drive around.

Talking of the city, Reiner added that even though he saw an early version of the game, it was already looking stunning. "The visuals are tremendous and easily some of the best I have seen. What's scary about this statement is that Rockstar North is still improving upon the visuals. There's little question that it will be one of the best looking games come this holiday," he said.

Other details revealed by Reiner include the possibility that players may be able to drive boats, get a girlfriend and - bizarrely - climb up telegraph poles. Rockstar also hinted to him that previous characters from GTA titles might put in an appearance, plus Reiner predicts that locations outside of Liberty City could be downloaded from Xbox Live or the PlayStation Network.

Whatever Rockstar squeezes into GTA IV, if it's got helicopters we're happy.

Flying car Cheat, here I come. 😐

^props

I agree with the designers, having Jets to fly around one city would be unrealistic. lol

EDIT: I wonder what using cheats will do as far as getting 360 achievements. 😕

yeah, cheats are fun, but i hate it in Saints Row that it will disable the achievements

Makes sense, but didnt the original GTA3 have them, and I know Vice City did....and both of those cities are just one city like GTA4.
