I've noticed several things missing from the game that I seem to remember being hyped/listed as being in the game.
most of these are things I remember being mentioned on gta4.net

here are the ones I can think of off the top of my head:
-I seem to remember hearing about taking the bus, not really a big deal since you have cabs though
-I haven't found a single telephone pole that can be climbed even though it was mentioned in several early hands on sessions
-the only time I've seen anything involving the trunk of a car is when you buy weapons from little jacob or you see the police search someone's car
-no use for the ATMs, I remember one article actually saying you could get robbed and choose how much money to keep on you
-also I think one magazine had mentioned you can hook trucks up to trailers

try and keep this thread only for things that were insinuated and/or demonstrated to be in the game, also please correct me or anyone else if something is mentioned that is actually in game.
 
That's all I remember right now too. When I got the game I triedto climb a lot of poles.
And, what's the use for the ATM in the game righ now? It says how much money you have. It's useless since you can look at your HUD.
 
Well I haven't done it personally, but reading online it says

teh interwebs
Go to an ATM, then cause a traffic jam to the area. Wait for someone to take money from the ATM, then kill him or her. Make sure to block any nearby roads so the ambulance cannot get to the murdered victim. Take the money they dropped on the ground. Then, run a short distance away, and go back. The money should have respawned on the ground. You can repeat this as many times as desired. You can also kill more people taking their money from the ATM to increase the amount of money that respawns.
 
I must say I'm a bit disappointed about not being able to tow trailers. It would also be pretty cool if you could tow the aircraft at the airport with one of the tug wagons (and that's not a euphamism, I just don't know what they're called...)
 
Am I missing something or weren't you supposed to be able to listen to the radio on your phone if you wanted?
 
Yes, and you can actually do that in the game. You should've got an email from Brucie telling you to type in a number and it automaticly tracks what music is playing in the vechile nearest to you.

That is just ZiT telling you what track is playing, in many late previews they said you could use your phone as a portable radio while you walk.
 
well i've robbed a few ATM people. about 200.00 is all i got from one. maybe less from the others.

whats the difference in special edit and regular gta IV?
