Some more information from GameInformer magazine in the US:
- The main character's name is Niko Bellic. Apparently he is either Croatian or Serbian.
- Multiplayer is confirmed, but it's not like an MMO.
- You can use a cellphone to actually call contacts. It also has a phonebook, organiser, messages, and even a camera!
- There are no planes. Rockstar said they would be entirely useless in the game.
- The story will branch out in multiple ways depending on whom you choose to 'hang out' with.
- The game's time frame is around 2007.
- Police are more unforgiving than ever, their advanced AI is improved.
- The soundtrack is totally revamped focusing more on moods than just popular songs.
- You can call female friends for a date.
- No more annoying loading times, even with the interiors of buildings.
I guess it is Liberty, as they did revamp the city in GTA3, and they can do it again
