The Official Wishlist Thread

[Slim Trashman]

Welcome to the official wishlist topic! Please feel free to post any and all ideas and desires you may have for the next game.

You may post any number of times, and do not have to keep a single list of everything and keep it updated. If something pops into your head, post it!

Although, if you have a lengthy, in-depth list of ideas, features, etc., you can feel free to create your own thread dedicated to your ideas for organizational purposes and to help maintain quality discussion.

Go wild! Any idea is a good one!

[Ketil]

I want the Hydra jet back! Coolest vehicle in GTA SA.

[dokujitsu]

I want R* to take notes of what everyone has loved and hated about every GTA game to date. Then pick out the best stuff, use it, add on to it, and make a whole new game that has the great GTA feel we all look forward to.

+ I'm sure they'll come up with a great new story, so I'm not even worried about that. Maybe some closure on the older characters like Tommy, Claude, and CJ?

+ It's gotta be a large city, of course. With a few free and open areas to play around in. Runways, fields, golf course.. whatever! Now that we officially have multiplayer, these areas could be a lot of fun!

+ I want the variety of melee weapons from Vice back. Everything from knives and machetes to handyman tools and golf clubs.

+ New weapons I'd like to see are tasers (projectile kind), mace, paintball guns. Just goofy things to annoy peds with.

+ Also, bring back the heavy weapons. The hell with realism, make it FUN! Flamethrower and minigun. That's all I ask.

+ More aerial vehicles. Choppers are great, but planes are even better. Thank you R* for putting parachutes in TBoGT! Keep that! Next, how about some squirrel suit skydiving (http://images.google.com/images?q=squirrel%20suit %20skydiving&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi) ?

+ A variety of street rides. Bring back bicycles, go karts, ATVs, and golf carts! Maybe add an amphibious vehicle? And what happened to monster trucks?

+ BADASS & FUN CHEATS (http://www.gtagaming.com/forums/showpost.php?p=20 65887&postcount=13)

+ Car mods. A newer version of San An's.

+ Garages.

+ At least one SUPER safe house where you can store a ton of vehicles. Boats, cars, and aircraft.

+ Easier wardrobe selection. No more "Next... loaaaaad. Next... loaaaaaad." Either make it load instantly or just list it up like SA.

* And finally, the Deluxo. PLEASE! :D *

MULTIPLAYER

+ With the open arenas, I could see some awesome shootout action. I keep thinking of a paintball mode if there was a paintball gun added.

+ A way to search for certain games. Maybe a lobby system.

+ "Cheats On" option for free mode. The ability to show or hide games that use this in your search criteria.

[Xan]

For me the following:

+ A Woodland area similar to what we had in GTASA. GTAIV's concrete jungle gets boring after a while.

+ More fun cheats. Ped Riots, Peds with Guns and similar we're taken out from GTAIV.

+ Overall the game should have more fun aspect to it, GTAIV was a little to serious for my taste.

Major thing Rockstar needs to work on for the next GTA is combining the realism and fun. They've got realistic physics and graphics now, so just throw in some miniguns, jetpacks, and clowncars and you're set.

The way I see it, leaving the possibility open to do unrealistic things is more realistic than not allowing it at all.

Exactly. The game looks great, but being able to do all the off the wall stuff is what makes it fun. It's what made GTA. I would love the jet pack to return. Kinda like the SA one where you can hover, but I'd want to see a Rocketeer style one where you can take off. Fastest 'vehicle' in the game.

[GTR Warrior]

Personally I think they should branch out and go to a different country like Brazil which is riddled with crime. Also I think they should bring back all the stupid goofy fun things from vice city and sa. like dokujitsu said. I also agree with everything else on his list especially car customization because I LOVE cars.:)

[Olin]

Kinda like the SA one where you can hover, but I'd want to see a Rocketeer style one where you can take off. Fastest 'vehicle' in the game.That's true. One where it needs to charge up and then it blasts off would be cool. Coupled with running into things and flopping around from hard impacts, it'd be hilariously awesome. To top it off, imagine if you could take off while you're still in the air. Obviously not very quickly, but it'd be possible at some point before you hit the ground given you hit the peak of the blast.

Also parachuting after using it.

The drug minigame from Chinatown Wars would be nice if it were expanded, as well as jacking certain vehicles for their contents. Robbing banks, convenience stores and anything else under the sun would make for a great time for quick cash and multiplayer mayhem.

I've always wanted to pull off robberies and do different variants of cops and robbers in a good-sized multiplayer match.

Edit: Now that I think about it, they really just need to make a million competent single player features and make them all accessible in multiplayer. As well as making those features more expansive depending on the type.

[EarthCrisis]

+ More aerial vehicles. Choppers are great, but planes are even better. Thank you R* for putting parachutes in TBoGT! Keep that! Next, how about some squirrel suit skydiving ?

:P:P:P:P:P:P

HHAHAHAHAAH for some reason I was picturing someone in an actual squirrel costume going skydiving. that would be sweet too.

[Tommy619]

* I wouldn't mind seeing a few different alternatives to parachuting
* Custom Cars is a must, i was disappointed this was left out of GTA IV
* Flame Throwers and some more other fun weapons like a Hammer
* Destructible buildings or to a certain extent so when you drive into a wall you can embed the vehicle in it for say a ram raid on a bank job
* Steal and sell cars to make money like on the first GTA
* More custom clothes like leather jackets for us metal heads
* Bring back some elements of San Andreas such as haircuts, tattoo's, body building but do away with having to maintain friendships and relationships.
* Custom Soundtrack
* More ways to make money such as become a hitman
* Ability to buy cars from the car showrooms and build a collection at a mansion or house you buy in game
* Buy Leer Jets and so on just to spend some of the money you acquire in game. There's no point in making the money if you haven't got anything but hookers to spend it on.

[Sam B.]

I want the things that were promised in GTA IV but were taken out last minute.
For example, hanging on to vehicles such as trucks and choppers

[devil chevelle]

well i can only come up with some wishes for the next game for me gta 4 was awesome a game that i will play for years on and i really dont know what else it needs but i guess.

*more guns
*more melee weapons
* although ive gone past some of the outlandish things on gta i understand that some people love that stuff so maybe they can put jet packs and parachutes but just keep it out of the main storyline make it something you find i guess ( i couldent find the game fun if i was working for a mafia boss and he said steal a jetpack and kill 200 some people)
*make a brand new city or a mash up city rockstars excuse for this liberty city was that they wanted to do a direct representation of new york and the older liberty citys were just citys with an east coast feel vice city was all ready done with a direct representation of miami and san andreas of california and a little part of nevada so there excuse this time cant be a feel of a city.

*more dlc and for everyone although im not a fan at all of the ps3 and i truly hate the immature fanboyisim of video game consoles i still think ps3 users should get something this time around if anything just make it so they get it later like what they did with fallout 3.

* personally i would like the game to stay within the states and maybe do a 1970's chicago but whatever rockstar does i know will be excellent.

[Slim Trashman]

What ever happened to climbing telephone poles? :P

[Sam B.]

What ever happened to climbing telephone poles? :P
All I gave was an example, didn't say that was all there was :P

[Slim Trashman]

I was just making an addition, not calling you out for missing it ;)

[Tommy619]

I want the things that were promised in GTA IV but were taken out last minute.

If you make Niko jump at a moving vehicle he grabs onto it and holds on.
I did it by a pure fluke when the larger taxi drove past me.

[Sam B.]

yes, but you fall off after a few seconds, I meant staying on completely, it'd be cool if we could.
easier way to get around without getting attention from the police, and it looks fun too :P

[Slim Trashman]

Seems a lot of features announced pre-release turn out to be scripted actions designed for particular missions.

[KkevinCrazy]

- I don't know if an of you guys have played Postal 2? -But the gas-tank and match weapon. Run around pooring gas and then throw the match down to ignite an inferno. Would probably make for some interesting misson requiring you to burn down a place, make a grewsome excecution or even for just plain crazyness like trapping peds in a circle of fire

- Different seasons, with the addition of terrain vehicles such as snowmachines, snowboards, four-wheelers, argos ETC.

- The return of airplanes, mountains and huge open spaces which make exploring, flying, missions and other crazyness have more depth of variation.

- Maybe some sort of rock climbing and rope climbing abilitys to go with the mountain side terrain and also for sleath tactics / missions.

- As with ohers, vehicle customization but if anything with this one feature ATLEAST: The ability to be able to pick a COLOR out of a list or a palette grapchic instead of repeatedly having to go back in and out for search of an in-peticular color passing a couple of in-game days just to find it.

- Return of the monstertruck and rediculous vehicles, jetpack.

- Maybe have older charcters such as Claude return but with a personality. Say his shyness went away or a storyline before his role in gta 3 maybe ending with him getting caught up with gangsters and them cutting his voicebox up to make sense of the no speaking in GTA 3.

- A simple Speedometer with the option to enable / dsable it within pause menu.

- A freind hangout with adrenaline activitys like skydiving, bungiejumping..Euphoria would love that stuff.

- Maybe an option to be able to see your ragdoll after you get killed in normal speed instead of slowing down beecuse there was sooo many times I wanted to see the continued path of my ragdoll, but to be cut off or slowed down to much by the grey death - Which is nice effect to resemble dying, but I think you know what I mean about wanting to see the Euphoria egine take its toll on that just-right death that causedyou to fly rapidly.

- Expand on trasportation like jetskis,go-karts, skateboarding / ability to hitch to a vehicle, bicycles, a zip-line and or harpoon with a rope attached - sort of deal.

- Mass variations of weapons like a slingshot,, flamethrowers, abilitys to pick up any feasable items as weapons. Ability to store items and or weapons in the trunk of your car.

- Euphoria related activitys

Anyways, a few fun ideas I would love to see played around with in-game.

And yes, I agree with the above post. We should have alot more in-game features rather any any overhyped 1 use features

[dokujitsu]

Here's a simple tweak, the ability to stand on vehicles without just falling off when they move. The return of car surfing! A certain other GTA clone (which shall not be named) made a whole mini game out of it.

Remember back in the older GTAs when you could stand/crouch in the back of a pickup and just ride around shooting people? I called it the assisted drive by. Shoot the car once and hold on!

It's kind of disappointing now that if you stand on a car and it starts to move you become drunk and just fall off.

Yeah, Although realistic (wouldnt be extremely easy to stand straight-up on top of a carr as it excellerates rapidly) they could probably turn down the Euphoria engines effects on the player while on top of a car pr while in the back of a truck so that you can do some drive-bys online with a friend say standing in the back of a truck with a high powered weapon. Would be awsome.

[GTR Warrior]

One thing that will really piss me off is if they put mission scoring in the next GTA. (like in TBoGT). I hated that so much!!!!:mad2:. And so if they put that in a full game I will not buy GTA V or whatever it is called.

[Slim Trashman]

Mission scoring should ONLY stay if it is not required for 100% game completion or for any external rewards (achievements and trophies). I personally loathe the idea of having "scores" in any form in a sandbox game, particularly GTA. It's not a game about competition or doing things in a particular way. The more it gets dictated, the less freedom you have.

The only way I'd really wish to see mission scoring remain in future games is if the only thing achieving perfect scores could potentially do is reward you with in-game stuff (weapon spawns at safe house, etc, something like that, but only convenience stuff, nothing that would near-impossible to acquire in-game otherwise).

That said though, probably would be better IMO to keep it out all together.

[victim]

The thing I like about mission scoring is that it gives you the option to go and replay missions that you didn't do too perfectly, allowing you to challenge your old scores. But I agree, if you want to do a mission a different way from the usual, you should be able to (I'm fairly sure I did no mission in GTA III correctly), so I think if it gave you weapons at the hideout or secret vehicles for some of the tougher missions it would be quite good.

[yimpat]

In the next GTA I'd really like to see the protagonist have more of a personal motive for more missions than in IV. So in other words, a plot that is driven more by the character's personal stake in the situations as opposed to doing everything simply for money. GTA IV was a step in the right direction but you were still very much the middle man with little say when it came down to it.I understand it can be hard to incorporate that into a lot of the missions but if it was possible to make it more propminent throughtout and it would always be a large theme of the game. Niko's search for 'someone' took a backseat throughout pretty much only to crop up every so often.

I'd very much like to see a return to the more rurual side of SA. It this was to be included then wildlife is essential. I think that's a strong possibility since RDR is including wildlife on the same engine so they're already a step there and they did use some RDR wildlife footage in one of the BOGT news videos I believe!

Obvious expansions such as more weapons, cars, side missions/activities.

But I believe that a more personal approach to the story would be the biggest step up for me.

[Slim Trashman]

so I think if it gave you weapons at the hideout or secret vehicles for some of the tougher missions it would be quite good.

Well nothing actually secret IMO. I'd like to be able to acquire "secret vehicles" alternatively if I so desired. The mission replay-ability function of this feature however is something I love.

[flint.44]

A broader array of melee weapons. The knife and the bat just don't cut it, I miss all the fun stuff from SA.

[KkevinCrazy]

Next-Gen, purple dildo melee FTW!

[Slim Trashman]

Yes dude melee must make a miraculous return, but more like Vice City with the hardware stores and all the tools. I think the best melee for the next GTA would be an extension of how you can pick up trash stuff in the game and throw it at people, except this time would be maybe broken pieces of wood, etc. Anything laying around that could be used as a weapon. PLUS hardware stuffs, especially chainsaws. Chainsaw made GTA seem more "mature" in that, it was like SCARY.

Of course there needs to be also be some incredibly intensely detailed awesome gore if there's going to be chainsaws.

[5tatic]

-Friends should have less importance. I hate it when they call me when i'm about to do a mission.
-The game should be longer.
-There should be more things to do - tanks, planes etc.
-Also, those mission things like car surfing, using the boot etc in GTA IV - we should be able to do them outside of missions. I would love to kill people, put them in my boot, and then take them to the doctors to make some money.
-Taxi missions, police missions.
-I want a territorial game (like SA), or a business kind of game (VC or VCS).
-Give us an option to modify a car. If it's gonna be 80s VC, then the modification should not be heavy. Could just be rims + paint job.
-The ability to swim underwater. Add sea animals, and other easter eggs.
-Give us more options for the storyline. Add so many options, that you could play the storyline several times, choosing different options. And make sure it affects the whole game! Like, if you kill someone, anothe person later on will try to exact revenge for the kill.
-More memorable soundtrack.
-I know that this is a totally different 'world' to the GTA3 world, but I would love to hear some of the radio guest hosts again - Maurice Chavez especially. I ean, we already have Lazlow right?
-Weapons. Weapons were pretty boring in IV in my opinion. I want some silenced guns, a chainsaw, and loads of rare guns which spawn randomly - you would not be able to buy them in Ammunation or underground gunshops either. For example, we could get a very rare Tommy Gun or something.
-Characters; I like the 'international' thing that they're going with. I want a hardball badass englishman, as the protagonist, or the villain.
-Rockstar tried to use less famous voices and music - that NEEDS to be changed. What happened to getting people like Ray Liotta, or Bill Fichtner? If I get a badass englishman as the protagonist, I want Jason Statham. Villain - Vinnie Jones.

- Location; I really don't care. Pretty obvious that they're going to go with Vice City or San Andreas. Most likely Vice City.

[Amasuke]

I wish some evil badass chick was the protagonist... Like Catalina or Asuka from GTA III. It would be good to see a female main hero in GTA :P

Maybe a story of what did Asuka Kasen do, before coming to Liberty City, or something...

[baleent]

Instead of the rags to slightly better rags thing they had goin on with Niko, they oughta go with riches to slightly better riches. Start the game out with plenty of cash and connections. I'd like to see some wanna be gangster trying to get made with the Vercetti family 30 years later. Possibly fail in the end. Anyone remember after finishing GTA III, you could never get through the mobs neighborhood without getting blown the fuck up. Tone it down a bit, but bring it back.

[mahurachi]

GTA China town wars is very addicting in ds and psp. I like how you start a stolen car... make molotov cocktails... defuse a bomb, trade some drugs, & etc in CW. Please include the things ^^^ you can do in CW to the next GTA series.


Consoles & Handhelds

My suggestions...

-Add a bait car. A random bait car for parked vehicles & then cops will suddenly come out to stop you.

-A Repo mission (maybe side quests). You might encounter violent clients ( like gangsters) while doing the Repo Mission.

-Use of drugs and alcohol... While high on drugs/alcohol you are more aggressive. Can sprint faster, more effective in guns, less damage in bullets, and doesnt get tired while sprinting. When the drug effect dissapeared you become sloppy & weak.

-Robbing a bank, jewelry store, and convenient store as a side quest and to earn extra cash.

-Join a gang/mob or biker gang. Form you own gang/mob or biker club.

-Respect/reputation. People will get afraid & respect you when you have a high respect/reputation. In order to gain respect you need to kill some people, rob a bank, & commit some crimes a.k.a Gang bangin.

-If you get busted by the cops, you will go to jail and you will spend time in jail. Add some missions while you're in the jail.

-Pay your bills. Phone bill & apartment rent bill.

-Overspeeding!!! Cops will pull you over if they caught you overspeeding.

-Add some costumes like Police, FireMan, & etc...

-Missions like being an undercover agent for the cops.

-Mimic the Splinter Cell (double agent) style where you can decide if you're going to be on the side of the good or bad w/c will result to different game ending or alternate ending.

[Trickstar]

I want you two choose between two players in the game. One main story and one side story.

[Walking Shadow]

one thing i want is midmission checkpoints... i hate to play a long mission (or one with a lot of driving that should have a trip skip) and get close to the end only to fail...then have to go through trivial stuff that ive already done...that makes the game seem to drag (at least for me it does)...i would prefer less but longer missions with checkpoints and alot going on in each mission...then a bunch of missions with the "drive, shoot, return" feel to it....

i also agree that the protangonist should have more motivation in what he is doing...

and the little minigames from CW on the ps3 would be cool, i think....especially the drug dealing and hotwiring

[Zidane]

One thing I desperately want them to do is change the "on-foot" style from GTA4. That was the main thing that I wasn't very fond of. I ran too slowly and found myself tripping over my own shoe laces more times than I care to remember. Vice City had it right. You ran fast, but you would too if your life depended on getting out of a firefight, or a car on fire about to explode. You wouldn't trip on your own feet and seizure out on the ground for a sec, resulting in your demise. But it looks like they changed that in Red Dead Redemption, so I can safely guess they're aware the fans weren't too adoring of that and will have it changed for the next GTA as well.

[zmbnm]

I agree with the female protagonist. I really would like that in a GTA game.

[Ash_735]

I'm not sure a Female would work in the main story, I mean it's easy to do a bad ass Male Character that appeals to a wide audience but for a female it's a very rough process to try and create a bad ass female who appeals to all as well, there have been brilliant female characters in games before, but the audience is usually split over it, ...also it brings a whole new genre of creeps to the forums doing Rule 34 of said character and I really don't wanna see that here, haha.

[masterw3]

--some of these nay be moddable for GTA4--

i love the fact you can crank up the traffic, though i want to make it more, nothing more fun than driving a semi thru traffic (unless we had our MONSTER TRUCK BACK!)

i LOVE LOVE LOVE the deformability... my fun, try to completely trash a car, without losing doors and hoods, leaving NO surface smooth.
though i wish you could crank up the damage recived.. smash a car at 50 into a wall, accordion, get a new car.. if you can walk.
So i would like to see a difficulty slider for the deformability/car damge, once in a while, i would like to play so that if you DO hit a wall at 50.. you ain't driving that away.

SEATBELTS! buckle up folks.. when you get in the car, hit "B" to "B"-uckle-up! then you (most likely) won't go out the windshield at higher speeds. they still break or come loose sometimes.

(Traffic Laws and Voting)
feel like a part of the community.. as the game progresses early on, have things come up the player needs to "vote" on, effectively allowing the player to choose how they want to play the game.
allowing you to aquire certain achievments for playing the more difficult ways.
VOTE for Speed Limit Laws, if you don't want to have to obey the Speed Limit for the entire game, VOTE NO!..
but if you feel Speeding is a crime, VOTE YES! and any time you see a COP, make sure you aren't doing more than 5 over it.
If you are caught speeding, have the caop put on his sirens, you stop, he walks up to the car, you pay your ticket on the spot, and go on about your way... (initiate Traffic Stop, no need to go to jail, the cops need bribes right there on the spot)

VOTE YES/NO for Traffic Light Laws.
VOTE NO to be able to run the reds all you want, they're JUST a suggestion after all.
or VOTE YES!, and you have to stop at the red lights, break the invisible wall at the red light, and you'll pull a star for a Traffic Stop... as noted above.

and so on and so forth...
i liked that about Driver, and have been hoping to see it.. as an OPTION.. sometimes, you just wanna trash the town, other times, you wanna feel like a man on the run.

TOW TRUCKS.. comeon we loved our SAtowTrucks...
remember the time you spent trying to see just how many tow trucks you could tow at one time? how long was your train of trucks?7-8 long before te law got you?
but do like you did the cabs, and let us hail one.
you saw the phone # on that taxi that drove by, or the number on the back of the taxi seat, oput it in your phone, call a cab!
wrecked your car? call a tow truck, they'll come and upright your car for you, steal a towtruck, back up to a car, and steal the car with the tow truck...
if you are wearing the Tow Truck Driver Clothes, maybe the cops won't bother you too aften when tow-stealing a car.
Got a Flat? call a tow truck, he'll come out and change your tire.. (got your AAAA Card?)


SPEAKING of a Flat.. it would be nice if you could stop, walk to the trunk, and hit a button to change a tire(full animation with a button to bypass the anitmation fro the impatient ones) You will have to stop in at a tire shop to get a new spare for the trunk (they'll give you 4 tires and a spare for $100).
cops shoot it out, change the tire and drive home.

definitely, let us turn down the frequency of those needy needy friends, i know some of it is for storyline progressino, but the common hang out sessions would be nice to be able to turn them down if we want.
(OPTIONS) like you gave us with traffic (i LOVE this one to DEATH i love it)

Custom Garage.. service centers.. oh the humanity! where's my AAAA Card !?!?
Stop in any Pay and Spray for a quick and cheap repair and random paint job $250
Stop in any Pay an Spray for aVIN/ Plate Swap to rid you of the cops $500
The door on the left keeps your current paint job, the door on the right gives a random one.
Speaking of garages, it'd be nice to see a whole car repair be about $500, and all the lesser services around town be about $100. (tires at the tire shop, engine repair at the mechanic's, etc.)
Stop in at Hot Rod Lou's for a custom paint or Hydrolics.
Stop in at the Performance Shop and increase a car's acceleration, top speed , handling, shocks... (make sure you get "Insurance" on this one.


What about a Battle Cars Race?
bring in a car, and equip it with rams and reinforcments and the like
Demolitions Derby !!! ram with the rear end, if your radiator takes to much amage, you're out!

Stop in an auto-mechanics shop for engine repair...
radiator spewing stream? stop in for a quick fix? better than going all the way across town to the pay and spray.

Stop in at Brucies Executive Lifestyles, and select your own color combination, right down to the specular color (any of the carcols)

Stop in at the Tire Shop on the corner, or any gas station garage that shows/advertises tires, and get four new tires. (tire got shot out, and the pay and spray is across town) $50 a tire.
Get custom Rims if they have any for sale, if the car col provides, select or change colors on them.
(make this a difficulty option)
As your tires wear down, you loose a tiny bit of traction, get new tires to improve handling.

when my fender hits my rim.. i think that tire should be blown.

Any Garage that advertises Window Repair, stop in and all glass will be fixed. (it's gonna rain, i got a date, she'll whine if she gets wet.) $50 glass repair.

Functioning Convertibles
Drop the top, or put it up when it rains.
make it user controlled like the headlights. put it up when it rains, let us control it the rest of the time.

Drive Thru Joints.
Stop in at the Drive Thru at Burger Shot for a quick bite to eat, providing nobody is in line, else just run in, or around the corner to cluckin bell.
Would allow you to regain health during a mission. just plop an arrow for it right at the drive up window, when you enter the arrow, and speed is "0", then trigger the health.
(i still wanna see someone mod this into GTA4 like done in SA for those long taxi runs, which i miss my Taxi Runs...)

I want my Taxi Missions back, lotsa locations, just pick from one gigantic list of all the accessible areas, and go to town, the cest ones are the LONG ones.. how many can you do in one car? if it takes 3 hours at the pay and spray

Fix the pool tables... the ones in SA were good, but the ones in GTA4 are junk tables to say the least.
but thank you for listening to us from VICE City and putting them in.

I wanna play 9 or 18 holes of Golf, or just hit the putt putt course.
What about those Go Carts at the gocart track, go pay and play, or join gocart races for small $$$

How about bringing back my bird, from GTA3.. soemone honks at me, they got the bird.
while we're at it, allow the player to Gesture to people. while on foot, or in a car, stick your bird or sign out the window... it just might make someone rage... good way to start a fight, without having to throw the first punch. Guy cuts you off, slams you into the wall.. catch up to him, give him the bird, if that don't make you feel better, or make him angry with you, do something further about it.

INSURANCE.. VIG Insurance.. park in front of their office, and go in... if your car you parked there ever gets lost or stolen, just stop by the VIG Insurance office, and pick up your replacement (delivery fee required (from factory to there))maybe insure one vehicle at each office, change vehicles by parking a new one in it's sopt an going "inside" again.

make some of those pointless interiors less pointless.
how about driving thorugh the mall? glass glass glass.. need i say more?
crashing through a store front.. ooopsy, too fast for the turn, smash!

Car Title Loan Office
this IS Grand Theft Auto, stop in here, see what car they want, and if you find one in that color, cha-ching! stop in here, park the car, and get paid based on damage (only if the color is about right , the title said Green, so it's gotts be some kind of green).

Scuba Diving!!
you could have a blast exploring sunken ships, retrieve the breifcase from the trunk of your car you drove into the river, etc.

remember the last three cars i parked...
that way i can set up jumps, or just get out and run, come back in 5 minutes and get mycar.

add a parking space outside each mission, so that when you get back from a mission, you car is STILL THERE when you get back.. i took a Lambo there, it should BE THERE when i get back.
and yes, i DID take it to a Pat and Spray to get the Plates Swapped (or the Car Title Loan place.. a plate/title swap would clean up a car there real quick.. no repairs though, just a clean title.

I enjoyed (from Driver) the Cops chasing the car, but if they got a good look at YOU, then they would chase YOU, not justy the car.. you could bail from a hot car, and when the Cops saw it, they flooded the area and checked out the car. I would like to see something similar.

Parachutes and planes.
I miss the sheer ize of San Andreas... catch a PLANE from one area to another. that was kool, and if you only needed to go half way.. BAIL OUT and make an entrance!

if they could bring Vice City, San Andreas and Liberty together somehow, that would be awsome.
for xBox, just install the first two DVDs to the hard drive, then run off the third disc.
Playstation and most PC people could use a single BlueRay Disc.

ATM's a theory to make them FUNCTIONAL.
You can only go to the Pay and Spray, etc etc with CASH, when you get arrested, the dirty cops take all your CASH. So you need to go to an ATM and withdraw money to use around town. if it's in the bank, they can't touch it, but when you've got untracable CASH.. the COPs, Paramedics, and hospitals will take it.

Speaking of paramedics, Taxo's, TowTrucks.. CALL an Ambulance, and they will come out and fix you up, for a fee.

i liked the infinite DrugWar missions of Ballad of Gay Tony, do that with things liek Taxi missions, and car Titles and all those other tiny little tidbits of fun.

CAMERA! savable pictures.. even videos.
We AHD the technology, we want it back.
I want to fill my hard drive with pictures of the twisted wrecks i've created, and i hate having to use Xfire to take screenshots..
Alt-PrintScreen (with a PASTE in Photoshop) doesn't work.. which has always been a staple way of taking a screenie.

i support the Notes or Points of Interest on the map.
you find something neat, tag it.. if anything, tag it on your G-phone's GPS.. Armor Here, Red Light District, (Cribbs gang Area, stay away, CopShop, etc)

Gangs, drive by some bangers, instead of flipping them the bird (that don't bother them) flip them a gang sign to provoke them.
Join a gang and help them take over, different gangs use different weapons, vehicles, special activities.

Basketball!
i iss my basketball, though the shooting system could be dnoe differently...and what about the game of HORSE, the one-on-one and three-on-three?
multiplayer basketball?!?!?
GOLF?!?!
Tennis?
Baseball?
POOL !?!?!?!?!??!?!
Black jack, Roulette, Slots, i want my casinos!!!!
I donlt cars if i go to the AirPort, and select Las Venturas, and it just teleports me to a casino.. i want my Casinos!
Horse Race bets.
Cage-Fights, ooooh la LA!

the ability, for once, to be able to ADD vehicles to the game...
not just REPLACE vehicles.. but ADD vehuicles.. we got Terrabyte Drives, and our machines are getting more and more powerful, we can handle this.. i want to be able to load so many cars, Gran Tourismo will DIE.

Race Tracks!! we need some race tracks to do races with various vehicle classes in.
Races, street and track, are always fun... go for the endurance race, can you survive 100 laps? you want 100% don't you? are you NUTS?!?! .. yes.. i AM!

i could go on..
and on..
but i think i've taken up more than my fair share of this post.

bullet holes.. thank you, even go depth they do.. so nice.
maybe also allow you to "wash" your car outside your house... just USE/Activate the hose by the driveway.

CO-op definitely.. not just multiplayer, it sould be nice to team up for some missions.. or just to get "helP" with one tough one.
do some drag racing.. pull up to a light, when it goes green.. ZOOM!

that would make for an interesting mission. if you stop at any red light, with a Sports Car next toy you in the front row, burn your tires a bit, if he responds with a tire squeel.. a drag race is on, as soon as that light turns green, be the first to reach the end of the street...
did you vote yes or no on that speed limit thing? how about those 4 red lights until the end of the street? could be the difference between legal and illegal street racing...

how about a walkman radio.. so you can listen to the radio when walking around on foot, only $50 at the corner market there.

it's the little things that make a game great, i've been playing this game for years, and only a few onths ago did i realize if a Armored Truck Bows, it spills $2000 about. So much in this game we take for granted, those litte tweaks and details that add life and flavor to the game.
the best thing to add replayability, longevity and resale, moddability.
if you can modify and ADD to a game, it will last a VERY long time.
Morrowind, Oblivion (even came with en editor) trackmania (in game custom paint system SWEET! rackstar! LEARN!!) Counter-strike Half-Life, X3, and many more.

Thank s for the Game Rockstar, and thanks to all the modders out there doing what they love to a game.
without creativity, we are just hairless apes... (those are the Jocks).

*How about more enemies? maybe a full scale drug war. Whats the point of cheats with mini guns and unlimited amo if all you get to shoot are cops and peds. Boring.

*SCUBA diving for boat sabatage or drug running from plane drops

*love the idea of mansions, your right, whats the point of $ if all ya get is a hooker

*perhaps a breakaway game to become a cop, a very crooked cop, on the take playing sides and gangs, maybe? thoughts?

*another country souds good, perhaps being able to make a gang or become a drug lord? perhaps make it a game of choices, each choiuce varies the game outcome, become a drug lord, a 1st class pimp, hitman, any other ideas?

*MORE BLOOD! if i want to take your head off with a shotgun, I should be able to! or remove limbs with a .50 cal sniper riffle.

*perhaps have a jail that if you get cought you have to do work for crooked cops to get to escape

*did i ask for more blood and enemies to blow ayay? lol

My Ideas on the Next GTA

1...there should be mission like in gta iv and sa we know swimming but there should be a mission in which we learn 2 swim and only after that we should be able 2 swim.

2...in gta iv we can only sleep on the bed but there should be 2 keys one with which we can rest and the other with which we can sleep.

3...we can kidnap people moving on the roadside by keeping chloroform on their mouth,etc.

4...there should be a mission when we learn shooting.

5...We could do cab jobs,become a cop,join paramedics.

These r some thinking on more.

6...there should be 2 to 4 countries.

7...the game should be toooo difficult.

8... there should be many clothes,guns,cars,bots and all vehicles.

9...many pedestrians.

10...many online trophies.

These r some thinking on more.

11...like in all gta games once the player dies he's reborn but in the next gta if the player dies the games over make it toooo difficult.

12...once the suspect is out of cop's reach than the police couldn't automatically judge the locaton.

13...there should be no cheats.

14...the player could make as many friends as he want.like in gta iv we could make 2 gf's and one is packie's sister.
we could have many frnds and gf's.

15...there should be more ingame games such as snakes and ladders,boxes,etc.

16...there should be a bicycle.

17...like in all gta the cities are joined but there should be A island far away.

18...after we complete the story there should be many things that r unlocked for us like a private plane which we could use to transport.

19...accoeding to point 17 on the island there should be tribal people in their rural clothes like leafs on the body.

20.they should be eating tribal food.

20...there should be a school,church,mosque,gurudwaras,other holy places,etc.

21...like in GTA IV we can't wed anyone unlike roman.In the Next hope we could.

22...We should even have a child after marriage,the whole game should be real.

23...If we have got an accident than then cops should fine us,they should stand on toll tax,on highways as in NFS Most Wanted the cops are after us if we run fast the same should be there in THE NEXT GTA.

24...More Multiplayer matches

25...GTA IV has 94 missions the Nxt GTA should have double

[Jimmy pegorino]

Kingcj you have some to nice VIEWS

[Mysterio19]

The only thing that i want in the next GTA is real cars.That was going to save hours of work to modders (they could build new cars for the game).

[thenotsogoodtrickster]

If the game had real cars then it would take away the awesomeness of modding real cars into the game.

[EuroDuardo]

This real cars talk is crap and the possibility of it is 0.00000000000001% because there is contract with automobile companies and R* can't afford to lose money on that stuff. And if they do it, what's the excuse for getting real cars in GTA world after IV,VCS,LCS,SA,VC,III and top down who had those awesome vehicles like Stallion, Infernus, Stinger, Predator, FCR-900 and others?

[kingcj]

yah the real cars is possible but but what would the moders do and it would cost a lot to R*

[dokujitsu]

@kingcj

No. No no no no no.

I had to laugh, I can't see this working out.

You are the new protagonist, welcome to GTA 5. There are 4 whole countries now rather than one city. You will spend the rest of your life playing this game.

See that island over there? Want to swim there? DENIED! You must do the swimming mission first because you didn't bother learning to swim up until now. Don't forget to learn how to shoot, because you can't do crap until then!

Now that we have the basics down, let's go for a swim to the island off the shore of one of the countries. Once you are there, you find a tribe of people wearing nothing but leaves and living out of straw huts. FUCK THAT! RPG rampage! These people never stood a chance with their spears and shields! The recoil sends you flying back and you are knocked unconscious. Why? Because this game is going to be toooo hard! That's right!

When you come to, you see a woman of the tribe standing alone weeping because you destroyed her tribe. You want to marry her? OF COURSE! Take her to one of the many religious monuments we were able to get into the game without worry. Church, temple, something else? Doesn't matter! And now that you are married, have a child! That's right! Children are now in GTA... as well as animals.

Want to spawn a car, heli, plane, weapons, or health? Too bad! NO MORE CHEATS! That's right, on top of making the game toooo hard, there are no more cheat codes to make the game even remotely fun.

Enjoy the new GTA!

BTW, real cars will never happen.
