Some sites have it listed for the 25th, but its being released on the 26th. I've heard rumors of a multiplayer mode involving gang memebers and driving, so that a second player can take control of people in your car. Not sure if this is so.
The biggests new features are robbin' houses, swiming, skydiving(possibly), Spitfires!, BMX, and possible skateboards, RPG elements(increasing staminia by running and swimming, more time you shoot a gun the better rating you get for that gun, fight moves and training like true crimes), Manhunt Sneak Modes(used for missions and robbing houses, or just sneaking around, you get a mask, a couple different kinds with different rating, that puts you into a Metal Gear type mode were you can perform silent and not so silent kills), HUGE Soundtrack(its being said that this will bring in a new era of games and music merging), and Car mods(Bodykits, layered paintjobs, sound systems, NOX)
Oh and Spray Paint to tag buildings up.
If you havnt check'd out the scale of this game its simply amazing, easily compairable to some MMORPG's in size. The detail givin to all of the area's is even more impressive, esp San Fran and Las Vegas mockups.
The military base in game is an aircraft carrier, so there is a good chance we will see some deadly aircraft and helicopters aside from the spitfire.
