• If Niko is hauled out of a car by a cop, he will have more chance of escaping on foot than in previous GTAs.
• Ray and Bell are two Italian mobster stereotypes. They're paranoid about being under observation by the feds and talk in a covert sublanguage. Think "Baddabing", "He's a friend of mine" and "Y'know, the guy with the thing." Niko hijacks a drug load of trucks from the Triads for Bell.
• The game auto-saves after every mission or major activity. Players will also be able to save at any of the safe houses in the city.
• Liberty Tree is the name of the city's main newspaper. It first appeared in GTA III. There are also Daily Globe vendors in the city.
