On October 27th, PlayStation 3's Trophies will be available through an update to GTA IV over the PlayStation Network.  There will be 51 Trophies (which are PlayStation's version of Xbox Achievements), to players to collect in the game. 

The Trophies are not retroactive, which means you will have to do things you may have already done over again to unlock the trophy.

Rumor has it that the Playstation 3 version of Grand Theft Auto IV will soon have trophy support. For those of you who don't know, Playstation 3's Trophies are basically the equivalent to Xbox 360's Achievements.

A recent post made on PS3Trophies.co.uk forums reveals a trophy list for GTA IV.

As of right now, this is just a rumor.

Italian magazine The Game Machine has released new details about GTA IV for the PC:

• The replay editor can record, save and edit the last 30 seconds of the game. Once you have saved your video, you can open another piece of internal software in order to change the point of view and add special effects. The montage editor allows you to edit various replays into a single sequence, add audio tracks from the official soundtrack of the game and add effects like transition from a sequence to another. You can then upload and publish your videos to the Rockstar Social Club to share them with the world.
  
• The GPS map has been improved. You can now point and click with the mouse on a specific location and make notes or add images to personalize it.
  
• Improved streaming will be possible with the power of todays processors. If you have seen cars on the road that matched the car you are driving, this has been somewhat fixed. More pedestrians and vehicles will be visible.
