A few interesting details about the game has come up, thanks to a report made by a Japanese magazine, detailing a customizable companion, animations, missions, and other features in the game.

To start off, you have Chop, your companion dog, whom you can customize with accessories. It's supposed to act like a real dog--so if you're not a very great owner, there's a big chance that you will lose the dog along the way.

VG 24/7 adds that there will also be an underwater mission made for Trevor and Michael where they will be using jet skis.

Animation has also been improved since the last game, to the point that each character has a specific walking pattern in order to different the characters from each other.

The report also announces the game's release date in Japan, which will be on October 10, short of a month after its worldwide release on September 17. Check out the recently released gameplay video, while you wait for two more months before the release.
