GTA 4 PC will also have an improved movie-recording feature that will allow for movies to start recording up to 30 seconds into the past. So if you just pulled off a crazy quad-car flip trick by accident, you can pause the game, rewind, and record it.

A new multiplayer mode is also coming to the game, but Rockstar hasn't let any more details slip regarding this feature.
