  • AManWithNoName, on 05/10/2008, -25/+12They could probably actually pull off a GTA MMO someday, and I know I would totally play that...Instead of guilds, you have gangs, and each guild's leader could have its people do missions to raise funds for the gang, like drug trafficking, or prostitution...

    The only problem is that Jack Thompson and the moral majority would jump that game like they've never jumped before.
    • Lith25, on 05/10/2008, -6/+20wow, what a horrible idea
    • choopie911, on 05/10/2008, -4/+13A GTA MMO would suck ***** through a hose.
      • SPThom, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1Yes, that would probably be a repeatable quest... sucking ***** through a hose.
    • JayD16, on 05/10/2008, -5/+5I don't know why you're getting dugg down. At it's heart, GTA is nothing but quests. I don't see why its such a leap to make it an MMO or even why it would be that bad an idea.

      You would have to lose some of the story telling and throw in filler quests like "pick pocket 15 wallets."
      • masterm1nd, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1I would have dugg but to me going after Thompson is not any different than Thompson going after video games...
      • allywilson, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1Have a look at Realtime World's APB (All Points Bulletin). Created by an offshoot of the original Lemmings/GTA crew (notably Dave Jones) before TakeTwo bought 'em out. Comes out next year I think.
    • karel747, on 05/10/2008, -1/+4Thinking it over, an MMO with tons of players would not be that great for what GTA is. There's no way to implement it without being immensely lame. Imagine trying to accomplish something, then being shot for no reason. That's lame. And if you try to make PvP system instead, that's also lame for a gun-based shooter based on reality.

      But... what if you could play GTAIV with, say, 2-4 players in the whole of the city, with no way knowing who else is a person, and everything going on as normal for all the players. Imagine, for once, seeing the FBI chase someone else down the strip. What would you do? I imagine there would be some awesome confrontations and interesting interactions between players when they discover each other, like collaborative mayhem or a city-wide manhunt GTA style. Obviously there are a lot of things to be worked out in the concept, but that sounds like fun to me.
    • Deamond606, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1There are fan made MMO's. SA:MP (google it) has different game modes, and a lot are roleplay, which is basically what your saying. They aren't the best, but it still is fun.
    • dansmeek, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2that MMO idea is terrible. GTAs audience is not the same audience of WOW and all those nerdlinger games.
      it's an awesome single player game cuz its you versus the city. what the hell would an MMO be? everyone in the city is a badass and you have 7-11 getting held up 24 times a day by different "guilds." sounds retarded.
  • plethorex, on 05/10/2008, -2/+101Yeah, GTA 61: The World. That seems rational.
    • wontstoptalking, on 05/10/2008, -1/+27I'd think by then they'd have the Universe. Or at least a couple of galaxies.
      • insllvn, on 05/10/2008, -0/+21Grand Theft Spacecraft 'nuff said
      • TecK415, on 05/10/2008, -1/+13Grand Theft Spore
      • plethorex, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5By that time it will be... EActivtionisNeversofTHQ presents, Grand Theft Auto: The Galaxy Massacre (exclusively for X-Stationii 10,000º.)
        • Abyss666, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1EActivtionisNeversofTHQ

          Thats an impressive string. Scary that seems to be the trend.
    • NeoNevermore, on 05/10/2008, -2/+34Some people forget the concept of GTA....Grand Theft Auto! If Rockstar carried out these 8 horrible ideas...they might as well make a brand new game, and it'll suck. When I play GTA, I want to steal cars and drive around in a metropolis...not go sightseeing to the Grand Canyon or go into the 22nd floor of a building I don't give a ***** about.
      Sounds like the makers of this list should sell their copy of GTA and play Second Life.
      • Jablinsk, on 05/10/2008, -4/+1second life has a grand canyon?? no way!

        seriously though, having something like the grand canyon would be awesome for the story
        going into any building however, I agree it would be pretty pointless
    • rjam710, on 05/10/2008, -0/+23The multiple cities thing sounds a lot like a GTA MMO, which would be completely freakin' awesome. I can see it now, "Level 70 Druglord casts beatdown on level 3 Hooker, +3 AIDS"
    • theodenking, on 05/10/2008, -3/+19The whole world? I'll settle for a phone that doesn't cut off every time you move.
      • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -3/+5what are you even referencing. I'm a third of the way through the game and I haven't had that happen once.
        • shauncullen, on 05/10/2008, -2/+10He's referencing every friggin time you receive an important call and some stupid car swerves and hits you, knocking you over, and the call drops, taking the conversation with it, try to call the person back and you get voicemail. I HATE THAT. When the physics take over, all control goes out the window, and the animations are static and take WAY too long to execute. EX: I jack someone with my pistol equipped, and cue spiffy animation; meanwhile, cops blast the ***** out of my character locked in a ***** animation. Those two things are my biggest complaints, other than that, I love this game.

          • zerobackup, on 05/10/2008, -3/+4Sounds like you haven't played any of the other GTAs as they have all had the same carjacking system. If youre being chased by the police and they are shooting at you the best course of action is to gun down the cops, then try to steal a car. This would prevent the issue you're having.
          • shauncullen, on 05/10/2008, -1/+4Wrong. The animations in the previous GTA were minimalist and quick, the animations in 4 are detailed and long. I've played all GTAs since they went 3D, and I've beat them all, so don't go throwing that ***** around. And, yea, gunning down the cops is the best case scenario, but when you have 6 stars and a sliver of health, I don't want the goddamn animation lasting that long.
          • misterdrumz, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1I didn't mind the planes going but why get rid of parachutes?! Although it is fun as hell jumping out of a fast moving heli on one side of manhatt...sorry, Algonquin and the wind carrying your foetal self across the width of the island to land in the east river narrowly missing the concrete dock....yeah I just use GTAiv to do crazy daredevil stuff :)
    • antdude, on 05/10/2008, -8/+2Nah. GTA 69.
      • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -3/+4that's low, man. even for digg.
    • thecheatah, on 05/10/2008, -3/+2I think this game is loosing its roots, its grand theft AUTO. So far I have stolen 2-3 cars for a mission.
  • pixarfan, on 05/10/2008, -8/+2APB pretty much is what I would like to see with some story based missions mixed in... and word is it may be just that
  • wontstoptalking, on 05/10/2008, -18/+1http://jonac.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/outsidecj ...

    I still get chuckles from that.
  • wontstoptalking, on 05/10/2008, -9/+3It's got euphoria. What more could you ask for?
    • BIGJHUB, on 05/10/2008, -2/+1nub.
    • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1havok + euphoria possibly?
    • dbsmoker, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3Seriously. The car crashed are better than some RACING games. Lame article.
  • R0l0, on 05/10/2008, -15/+22 girls 1 cup
  • Makaveli604, on 05/10/2008, -22/+1*comment about 38 diggs and front page*
  • nobody7, on 05/10/2008, -14/+9GTA: JAPAN (ability to walk indoors into people's homes/capsules)
    • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -2/+9what the *****?
    • ANT1138, on 05/10/2008, -7/+1I don't know why you got dugg down. I'd love to run over some of those lil gothic bitches in tokyo. They should put Godzilla in just for the hell of it.
    • Hoogs, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2Capsules?
  • pianonotes1010, on 05/10/2008, -4/+75Some people are NEVER happy.
  • Jus7in, on 05/10/2008, -5/+87Whoever wrote that description is a dumbass. Things we want to see in future! Someday!!

    No *****.
    • NaziHatinChimp, on 05/10/2008, -1/+8God, a GTA MMO. I couldn't think of a better way to kill a good game.
  • Skanadian, on 05/10/2008, -7/+11Glad to see you're helping maintain the 10 GTA stories to every 1 other story ratio.
    • o0mirage0o, on 05/10/2008, -1/+4I'd rather see a story on GTA than more political *****.
  • weeman43302, on 05/10/2008, -2/+32You could rob places in previous GTA games. I used to go to the mall in vice city and rob all the stores. I don't think you can in IV though. I tried to rob a burgershot and that didn't work out too well...
    • Ender008, on 05/10/2008, -1/+18You can rob places in IV; I just robbed a clothing store a few hours ago.
      • MillionsLivio, on 05/10/2008, -0/+11How exactly?
        • Ender008, on 05/10/2008, -0/+7I don't know about the PS3 version, but on the 360, just walk up to the register and press LB. If that doesn't work, target the store owner to scare him, then press LB on the register.
        • StrangeBeast, on 05/10/2008, -3/+0Press L1.
        • Ender008, on 05/10/2008, -1/+16Do a barrel roll!
        • ZenMojo, on 05/10/2008, -1/+1Up, up! Down, down! Slow down! Ah, damn, you missed the aircraft carrier.
    • dmac41, on 05/10/2008, -1/+5You can take money out of any cash register, but you can't hold up a place in IV.
    • destinywaste, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1Welcome to BurgerShot. *****.
  • MyDiggIsBig, on 05/10/2008, -5/+70how about we just start with bringing the DAMN PLANES BACK!!!!!
    • shauncullen, on 05/10/2008, -8/+2911 911 911 911! Drunk driving? *****, let the mainstream media paint GTA IV as a 911 simulator.
    • ThrstForKnwldge, on 05/10/2008, -0/+15Yeah that's such *****, I go to the airport and see all these cool planes but can't fly them. :(
      Also a parachute would be nice for jumping off buildings.
      • GlitchEnzo, on 05/10/2008, -5/+3It sounds like you want Just Cause.
        • TheWorm, on 05/10/2008, -0/+8No, it sounds like he wants things back that were in 2004's GTA game.
        • GlitchEnzo, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1I know what he was saying (as I also miss those elements from San Andreas in GTA4), but what I meant is if he wants a "next gen" sandbox-style game with lots of cool aircraft as well as a pretty spiffy parachute (along with grappling hook), then he should check out Just Cause. He could also wait for the sequel which looks like it improves alot of the issues the first game had.
    • aelias, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3Parachute needs to return, for helicopter bail-outs and base jumping off skyscrapers, but the rendering engine just can't keep up with the speed of a plane. There would be massive pop-in. I'd play with the pop-in to get some online dogfights going.
  • SolipsismX, on 05/10/2008, -9/+4Won't load for me.
    One thing I'd like to see is more drug availability besides just the alcohol. Not really a big deal, but something that could be fun nonetheless.
  • TruthKid, on 05/10/2008, -17/+2I want the ability to actually enjoy a cup of hot coffee in game, as opposed to being tricked into going for a cup of joe with a date only to bang her doggy style. If I wanted to play those games, I have plenty of ex-girlfriends I could dial.
    • choopie911, on 05/10/2008, -0/+9Sure you do. And yeah, virtual coffee drinking is the greatest...
  • condylomalata, on 05/10/2008, -22/+9rape
    • danwallace, on 05/10/2008, -2/+15He's saying what we're all thinking!
  • crashingechelon, on 05/10/2008, -2/+12I hope he is aware that past GTA games where you could go inside you could hold up the clerk to get money. It just wasn't as elaborate as in Saints Row, but it was still there. I tell ya I am missing some of past features in earlier GTA games, but GTA4 is just to fun to let it get to me.
    • Radan, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5You can actually do this too in GTAIV, simply go into a clothing store or restaurant and point the gun at the cashier and go near the register and press the left bumper.
    • Gizza, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2I miss being able buy places too. And where have the rampage missions gone?
  • texxel, on 05/10/2008, -5/+40How bout they put back the cool stuff from San Andreas that they cut out like parachutes and chainsaws and rocket-firing helicopters...damn i miss those chainsaws !
    • dmac41, on 05/10/2008, -2/+11They will probably be back in the expansions of GTA IV, just like how Vice City and San Andreas added on to GTA3.
    • TecK415, on 05/10/2008, -0/+14And swords... I want my sword, I need a slice someone bad.
    • shauncullen, on 05/10/2008, -0/+12I second the parachute.

    • MasterGrief, on 05/10/2008, -0/+9I really want the SkyCrane helicopter used in the Las Venturas casino robbery missions back in San Andreas. Picking up unsuspecting people in their cars from above was just a great deal of fun... Especially when you could fly them out over water and drop them in and drown them. They looked so funny popping out of their vehicles backside-up.
  • IrvineKinneas50, on 05/10/2008, -5/+27That was a lame article.
    You could already rob stores in the previous GTAs and saying "make every building and the interior of every single car super detailed" is pointless because there's no technology barrier, just the barrier that it would take a ridiculously long amount of time and manpower. I doubt we'll ever see that and it's not realistic, ever.
    • hilo4321, on 05/10/2008, -1/+12we will of course have this someday, thats just silly to say otherwise
      • IrvineKinneas50, on 05/10/2008, -3/+2I doubt it. There's still going to be a limit on the amount of manpower put into one game. Advanced technology isn't going to allow us to make this demand any more doable than it is now, unless we're talking about robots with self-aware robots designing levels without human assistance.
        • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4sure it would. randomized building interiors. a mediocre game like hellgate already half way does this.
        • smurfsahoy, on 05/10/2008, -0/+7"unless we're talking about robots with self-aware robots designing levels without human assistance." If by self aware robot you mean a programming script that makes building interiors, then yes. (Although I see no reason why you shouldn't believe we would have self aware robots anyway.)

          Hell, with computerized record keeping, blueprints, software that maps spaces for totally different applications (tourism, real estate, interior decorating, etc.), it's quite possible they could actually model the REAL interiors in the near future, at least of popular public locations, without any repetitive manpower.

          You're like that guy in 1860 or whatever that said there was nothing left to invent. Wake up.
      • lowbot, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1Sure its 100% doable now. Of course the game will cost you 300-500 or so dollars and will have an eight-year release cycle.

        The authors of this article know nothing about game design or economics.
    • choopie911, on 05/10/2008, -3/+2Not to mention it would remove the fun from playing. If theres THAT much to do...you wind up doing nothing.
      • smurfsahoy, on 05/10/2008, -1/+4Uhm... there's that much and far more to do in real life. You apparently haven't committed suicide though due to lack of a linear storyline and too many cities.
        • korvan504521, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2People have been complaining about balance issues though. Personally I want more options on the display adjust, I'm sick of these contacts.
    • CTK14A, on 05/10/2008, -0/+8Why not let players create their own interiors using certain parameters/textures/furniture so on so forth? Yeah, there would be all kinds of spamming issues (room wallpaper plastered with Viagra ads for instance...) but if you let the people roam free, they will create the city on their own. Allow people to decorate their own in-game online apartments!
      • VanillaCoke, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5Second Life?
        • CTK14A, on 05/10/2008, -1/+4Basically, but with a wider user base and automatic weapons.
        • smurfsahoy, on 05/10/2008, -2/+1I'm pretty sure second life has automatic weapons.
      • copypasta, on 05/10/2008, -0/+0You're talking about PS Home.
    • MasterGrief, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3You must also consider automatic generation. Have a large selection of interior parts (desks, plants, wall hangings, staircases, etcetera) and have them pop into various arrangements that fit the general floorplan of the building you are dealing with. I'm not sure how easily this could be done in respect to placing all these objects by hand, but it sure seems plausible to me.
    • damnation, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1I don't think you should be able to go into EVERY place. Because can you right now in real life? Doesn't everyone in New York lock their doors? I think it would be nice to make every shop available during the day, like the arcade that's in 'Time Square'... and I know there are a few other places down there, that I stopped my car and walked over to cause I thought It was gonna be a cool place to get in, but then there was nothing. But getting inside every building to me, even if possible, is just a waste of time.
    • Abyss666, on 05/11/2008, -0/+0You can already see it; the earth is only one of humanities greatest games. We all temporarily loose our memories when we enter and regain them when we leave. Earth and the galaxy all exist in a supercomputer somewhere but we can’t see it from this side. It’s a completely immersive MMO with the most realistic graphic and physics engine ever. Within 100 years in real life, we may have the ability of creating immersive worlds that simulate all 5 senses through direct brain simulation. Whose to know for sure that we haven’t already?

      /It’s a pleasant thought anyway.
  • BIGJHUB, on 05/10/2008, -9/+42I've always wanted to see children in GTA. Its more realistic, and who wouldnt love to take out their childhood anger on some little *****?
    • bigsimpsin, on 05/10/2008, -17/+6Whoa, you want to be able to run over little kids because they used to give you wedgies? You need some help
      • dealseeker, on 05/10/2008, -1/+13... and by "help" I mean WEDGIES.
      • gbro, on 05/10/2008, -0/+11You don't want extra freedom in a game? You hate freedom? Do you hate freedom and America? You're a freedom-hating terrorist aren't you?
    • sgxyay, on 05/10/2008, -1/+4Those damn *****!
    • evox, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3We can dream, can't we? On a side note, it really does make it more realistic.
    • Hoogs, on 05/10/2008, -0/+9Yeah, I never understood that. Are there no kids in all of Liberty City?
    • dagamer34, on 05/10/2008, -2/+2Killing children would be a big no-no.
      • mhummel, on 05/10/2008, -0/+0If it's good enough for the vault-dweller....
    • xNIBx, on 05/10/2008, -1/+3…………….._,,-~’’’¯¯¯’’~-,,…………………………………………

    • p0tent1al, on 05/11/2008, -1/+2GTA IV is controversial as it is. If they were to put children in , by definition of what GTA is (a sandbox game) then they would have to let you kill them. And having the ability to kill children in GTA would mean it would never hit retailer shelves, meaning there is never going to be children wandering around in the game, period.
  • AppleGeorge, on 05/10/2008, -11/+2I vote for a mission where you must kill a really arrogant prick of a a lawyer who's out to destroy what you work for, who just happens to resemble JT.
    • cesclaveria, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4Justin Timberlake? :p

      I know who are talking about, it would cool to track him down and find him in the most depraved situation possible.
    • Hoogs, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1Wasn't there a controversy about that and how one of the missions is supposed to be similar to targeting him?
    • RonnyIsRondo, on 05/10/2008, -1/+3That would be nice. But i wanna be able to run over dogs and cats. And maybe a baby or two
  • hansolo007, on 05/10/2008, -4/+1Planes... and more options to customize, to make it your own.
    Can't think of anything else, I'm too busy enjoying this current one.
  • Stuart750, on 05/10/2008, -6/+4I've got to agree with the crashes one... Burnout meets GTA...
  • Ender008, on 05/10/2008, -3/+39I just want my parachute back. That's all I ask.
  • aceakm, on 05/10/2008, -10/+33Children. And animals... So I can kill them.
    • aceakm, on 05/10/2008, -2/+36Also, maybe a child holding a puppy which he got on his 9th birthday would be cool for the double whammy? Flamethroweeerrrrr...
      • aceakm, on 05/10/2008, -2/+27Or if it's possible, I could steal a baby, climb a tree, and throw the baby into a pool full of sharks. Yeah, that would complete the GTA experience.
        • redneckblues, on 05/10/2008, -2/+14And the sharks must have laser beams on their heads.
        • CeeJayDK, on 05/10/2008, -1/+5You wouldn't steal a handbag.
          You wouldn't steal a car.
          You wouldn't steal a baby.
          You wouldn't shoot a policeman...
          and then steal his helmet.
          You wouldn't go to the toilet in his helmet...
          And then send it to the policeman's grieving widow...
          And then steal it again!

      • aceakm, on 05/10/2008, -2/+17Also, if they have grills or ovens in the game, I'd love to kill a pet cat and cook it while it's alive and then feed it to a homeless man. And then kill the homeless man. Who was a prostitute. Who had three children who will then go up for adoption and be treated horribly the rest of their lives.
      • Cerebron, on 05/10/2008, -3/+6Or even some cows that could wander into the road occasionally to become hamburger.
      • aceakm, on 05/10/2008, -4/+38Also, what if you could kidnap an old woman and pluck out her eyes? And then once she's blind you could follow her for over a year and see how she adapts to life without vision. And then break her legs so she can no longer walk anywhere. Then wait for her to get out of the hospital and see her grandson pick her up and take her home. When he drops her off, slit his throat and replace him as the grandson. Then, watch Golden Girls and Judge Judy as she listens intently. Four weeks later, make her a poison birthday cake. As she begins to eat it and die, tell her you killed her grandson four weeks earlier and that you're the man who has ruined her life. As she begins to convulse due to her heart attack, take a shotgun and blow her away. Then clean the house and sit her up in her favorite recliner and tivo The Office. Then leave and wait for the police to find her due to the smell. As the police enter, walk up and claim you're the neighbor. Show them The Office, which they missed last week. As they watch, pull out a Chainsaw and kill them. And then fly to Mexico to live alone in a run down shack.
        • andrew1338, on 05/10/2008, -7/+2You are my new hero! ROFLMFAO!
        • smurfsahoy, on 05/10/2008, -0/+18@andrew, why is it that what you said made me feel about 10x more creeped out than the comment full of torture fantasies?
        • ANT1138, on 05/10/2008, -1/+6That would be cool, but i'd be willing to settle for a killing spree in a zoo. Killing baby penguins with a flamethrower would be awesome.
        • aceakm, on 05/10/2008, -1/+9Or traveling to Antarctica and killing the remaining seals population with clubs, and then realizing that only 12 people really live on that continent and offing them one by one, eating their left over bodies to stay alive yourself as you realize your helicopter has been snowed in. Suddenly, a human aide worker lands after a month of cannibalism and you tell her you were doing geographic studies when you became snowed in. That leads to sex. Afterwards, she spots the hand in the refrigerator that was your next meal and you're forced to slit her throat. Afterwards, you realize you may not have sex again for awhile, so you do her once more and burn the igloo down in which you built. Stealing her helicopter you head back home.
          • CeeJayDK, on 05/10/2008, -1/+1It's been done already .. sort of.

            The Dolph-game is a flash game made by the main danish national televisionchannel that aspires to be as anti-political as possible.
            You play as the fat blue hippo "Dolph" in his quest to gather as much enriched weaponsgrade uranium ( left by the american forces when they departed the Thule airbase in Greenland ) to build a couple more nukes ( the world needs more nukes according to Dolph)
            To stay warm in the Arctic climate you must find and club or stomp to death : babyseals, eskimoes and guitarplaying peaceloving hippies
            http://www.dr.dk/dolph/spil.asp#

            The "Klik her for at starte Dolph-spillet!" - link , starts the game.
            Arrowbuttons to move , spacebar to club a seal, eskimo or hippi

          Dugg.
        • Hoogs, on 05/10/2008, -1/+3I wonder how long it would take to create a game that detailed?
        • aceakm, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2Imagine if it was a virtual reality game! I've always wondered what it's like to be on the giving side of a basement torture to a 12 year old, just because he failed his Math final...
  • loves2spooge, on 05/10/2008, -10/+3they forgot none jelly like cars, a combat / cover system that isn't ***** and no stupid ***** pop up so i don't crash into scaffolding that hasn't actually appeared on my ***** screen yet...
    • sevenalive, on 05/10/2008, -5/+3u must own a ps3 ha ha ha
      • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -2/+2nope. this happens on the 360 a couple times an hour. usually only when you're driving really fast. they shouldn't let you go that fast if their engine can't handle it.
  • ronaldmonster, on 05/10/2008, -8/+2Don't bother, it's mostly a list of "we want them to expand" and everything thats already there.

    In-car View
    Grand Theft Auto IV already has an in-car view, but it's not too impressive. We want completely detailed, in-***** views for every automobile in the game -- see Gran Turismo 5 for an example of this in action. Considering GTA IV features a fairly detailed interior model of the taxi, which you get to see when you take a cab ride across Liberty City, we know that Rockstar can pull this off.

    Fully Modeled Interiors for All Buildings
    Admittedly, the concept is elaborate, but this is a dream list, is it not? Imagine being able to go inside every building you see. In past GTA games, you essentially drive around an empty mass of land, decorated with buildings that served no purpose other than visual eye candy.
    Multiple Cities
    This isn't exactly a new idea. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas featured three cities -- modeled after Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas -- but the concept is something we'd like to see Rockstar revisit. Considering that this is a dream list, we're going to take things to the next level. We want to see Rockstar's reimagining of the world (but not the whole thing -- just parts of it). The developer could recreate notable major American cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Chicago, New York City, Miami, Atlanta, Seattle or others. And it could also fill its world with cities inspired by Paris, London, Tokyo, Sydney, Moscow and so on. In between these cities, you'd find famous landmarks like the Grand Canyon, Mount Everest, the Great Wall of China, Niagara Falls, the Great Pyramids and whatever else Rockstar dreams of. Think such a landscape is too big to be functional? Blizzard has pulled it off with World of Warcraft. Rockstar could employ similar mission structure to make sure missions stay within the same city -- or "zone" for those familiar with WoW -- they begin in or don't span too much distance. It's ambitious, but this is a "dream" list, after all. Oh, and Rockstar would have to bring planes back, which we're totally cool with.

    Destructible Environments
    Truth is, this almost didn't make our list, because what we'd really like to see is a GTA MMO, and destructible environments would be too chaotic and impracticable in a persistent online setting. So, we had to choose between the two things, and we went with destructible environments because they just fit better with the GTA theme, and the concept would probably be more entertaining. Indeed, destructible environments would add a new layer of interaction to the GTA world. Like many of our other ideas, there are some obstacles to overcome. If a building is completely demolished, for example, it'd have to respawn eventually. There'd likely be some technical challenges to overcome, too, but we're sure that the talented folks at Rockstar can manage.

    More Realistic Crash Physics
    Obviously, you can't destroy a car too much when it crashes -- otherwise it'll stop running after just an impact or two, and that's too realistic for GTA -- but there's still a lot of room for graphical detail in the way of the destruction that is caused by collisions.


    Robberies
    This is something developer Volition did with Saints Row, and Rockstar should borrow the idea. We want to be able to hold-up a convenience store, bank, clothing store or any other place with a register.

    More Moral Decisions and Consequences
    We'd like to see more branching storylines, challenging players with more decisions and consequences. For instance, during a mission, it'd be nice if you had multiple outcomes, and the way that you play would determine how the story pans out. GTA IV already has a smidgen of this, but Rockstar can definitely expand upon it.

    Co-op Play
    Although our dream GTA IV might not be an MMO -- for obvious reasons, such as the inclusion of destructible environments being impracticable in an online world -- we still want there to be an online component, similar to GTA IV's. Specifically, we'd like to see a co-op mode that allows several people to play through the full game -- missions and everything -- together. Ideally, you'd be able to hop in and out of each other's game at any point, so the experience would be as seamless as possible.

  • phreek23, on 05/10/2008, -2/+33One feature that I'd enjoy is something as simple as the ability to drop a pin/flag at locations on the map.
    There's been a couple times where I've found a neat area/jump, and I've gone off to get a faster car to attempt it with - only to forget where said jump was. So dropping a pin on the map with the press of a button would be rather cool! :)
    • ZivZulander, on 05/10/2008, -3/+7You know, you can drop a waypoint anywhere. So if you find a cool jump just go to the map and place a waypoint on it.
      • phreek23, on 05/10/2008, -0/+20Yeah absolutely, the way point is a good 'temporary' way of doing it. But I'd like the option to drop 20+ pins all over the map - possibly even label them. It'll never happen, but, following along with the Digg title 'things we 'WANT' to see in GTA', it's something that I'd like to see personally.
        • smurfsahoy, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5Yes, key binding and memory allocation for simple strings is too much power for humans to wield. It must never come to pass.
        • MasterGrief, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2Well phreek, here's what I do, but it's probably a bit too much work for most people:

          I have my official game map hanging three feet in front of me, and I have a bunch of post-it note map markers. When I have something I want to remember, I get a map marker, write a simple label on it, and place it on the map where it needs to be.

          I've done it with a number of things, like Helipads and buildings that contain a roof entry with a big enough top to land a helicopter (so you can get wanted stars on the ground floor and when the heat gets too bad, run up to the roof and fly away in your chopper). The advantage of doing it this manual, papery way is that you can write whatever you want on the map marker so you don't ever have to look at the marker and realize you've forgotten what it's marking.
      • haylel, on 05/10/2008, -2/+5yeah but once you go to the area, it vanishes :(
        jump the ramp once, and you just lost it..
    • TecK415, on 05/10/2008, -5/+3When you beat the story mode you get an email with a link. In the link there is a map showing where all the unique jumps are, and a bunch of other stuff.
      • Linzee82, on 05/10/2008, -3/+2Damn you! I didn't need a spoiler!
        • TecK415, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2Sorry, I didn't even know about it until someone told me, and I would have never known, It looks like junk mail. Didn't seem like much of a spoiler.
  • reclusiveraider, on 05/10/2008, -5/+10I think GTA4 should've had some sort of iPod/Walkmen use, so you could listen to the radio or your music.
    I also wish they would've integrated a ton of stuff from the Warriors game, like the gang control, lock picking, radio stealing...
    • sevenalive, on 05/10/2008, -6/+2if you have a 360 that functionality is already there.
      • yensed, on 05/10/2008, -0/+11But thats a console feature, not a Game feature. The music continues to play during cut scenes and load screens - which can be really annoying. It can also be tricky finding the right volume level for the music so you can still hear things in the Game and the Music. You also have to open the Xbox blade to change songs, volume, play/pause etc .
    • jbrowng, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1I thought the mobile was supposed to be able to used for the radio when walking around... they got rid of that?
    • zunkus, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1yeah i would have liked a custom radio station option, i know you can listen to music you have downloaded but that's not as cool.
  • username484767, on 05/10/2008, -7/+12Person who made this article knows NOTHING of game design, dumb ass
    • spawnfree, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6Dunno why this guy is getting dugg down.
      The suggestions in the article are all superficial qualities that don't actually make a better game.
      heres some things i would like to see:

      Too many games are all about the story, and once you have completed the story thats it. I regularly play old games like pac man because they are proper FUN games but do i revisit my back catalogue of recent pc games? no. its like picking up a really long and trashy novel and plowing through it again. No so great.

      On GTA4 i would like to see a title page with the option to play the story OR start a simple game such as find and eliminate one target somewhere in the map. you get a SCORE and it goes in a HIGH SCORE TABLE at the end. And its different every time so i can't master the game or predict much about it; Meaning it stays FUN.

      i would also like the ability to jump in and play any of the missions i have already done. All this would need is a list and really cant be that hard to implement.

      Games have lost their way trying to be movies.
  • kingatrock, on 05/10/2008, -2/+38great game, terrible list.
  • choopie911, on 05/10/2008, -3/+13I'm pretty sure the majority of this list would stop GTA from being GTA. Leave it to the people who actually know what they're doing: Rockstar.
  • eviljolly, on 05/10/2008, -3/+2There is a bank robbery (maybe more than one, but I haven't finished yet) in GTA4. It's part of the plot though, not something you can do at any time.
  • TecK415, on 05/10/2008, -4/+4In the butt. This is crap.
  • jdunlop2179, on 05/10/2008, -6/+1A crossover between a Sims and GTA online play would be awesome.
  • gfxlonghorn, on 05/10/2008, -4/+46"Blizzard has pulled it off with World of Warcraft." ..
    Wow seriously?.. Yes they have, but have they pulled off a level of detail anywhere close to GTA4. Your acting like somebody can just decide that they like 8 different games, so why not just get some Elmer's and just glue that ***** together.If I was a game developer I would just want to kick the ***** out of this guy. They just made the game of year, and possibly one of the best games ever, and he is making it seem as if this ***** can just happen out of nowhere. Like they wish the game to be the baby of a 20 person jerk circle of good games, so poof it happens. Why not have the game come with a flesh light, that is controlled by the prostitutes in the game that could give you a virtual happy ending?

    Nobody gives a ***** about the in car view. Why not have a full flight simulator in the game that is exactly like an entire video game dedicated to that? If they wanted to make a game where driving was the point, then they would have made a racing game. If your not happy with grand theft auto's city, how about this. You can buy like 3 PS3s, then start up GTA 4, as soon as you get into a car switch to GT5, then get out, go to your computer and explore Azeroth, then when you want to rob someone go play Saints Row, jump into a plane and turn on Flight Sim, and finish it off with a little whoring from GTA.

    They learned from San Andreas, why having multiple cities can suck ass. It took like 15-20 minutes to get to the other side of the map. Planes were fun and all but having the ability to just do whatever the ***** you wanted in the jet was stupid as hell. Flying into a mission and doing it in 10 seconds took the fun of the missions.

    "More Moral Decisions and Consequences"
    Why not ask MADD for alcohol while your at it? If people are buying a game called Grand Theft Auto, please don't pretend like there can any moral decisions that could be considered even remotely moral by anyone's standards. Inevitably the guy you end up not shooting after you steal his car, will end up getting the cops after you, so why even bother?

    • choopie911, on 05/10/2008, -0/+14I agree with you whole heartedly. The article gave me a strong feeling that the author doesn't know what the hell they're talking about. You should post your comment on the actual article page, maybe the author will see it and get a sense of how retarded they are.
    • fxu1989, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6"Why not have the game come with a flesh light, that is controlled by the prostitutes in the game that could give you a virtual happy ending?"

      So I'm not the only who thinks this should be implemented ? .... Thank god.
    • p0tent1al, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1I have posted your comment on the article, I thought it would be a good addition. I have fully credited your name.
  • 0260, on 05/10/2008, -1/+26speedometer. thats it.
  • wem003, on 05/10/2008, -6/+3Great game - but I'd settle for 1080p.
    • xelloss, on 05/10/2008, -5/+1The back of the Xbox 360 box says 720p/1080i/1080p, unless they are upscaling to those resolutions.
      • Darksoul, on 05/10/2008, -1/+1They are at least up scaling in 1080p I switched my monitor from 1080p to 720p its just an expanded view on 1080p still looks great though not complaining at all.
        • wem003, on 05/10/2008, -1/+0upscaling to 1080p and rendering in 1080p aren't the same. Game looks great, but when you project it at 106" - there are definately other 1080p games that look better.
      • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -0/+7there aren't ANY major titles that actually render in 1080p. it just isn't technologically or gynecologically feasible.
  • TecK415, on 05/10/2008, -0/+25Land marks?? The Grand Canyon??? This is Grand Theft ***** Auto. Go on vacation if you want to see landmarks. I'm going to go ***** a hooker in my Comet now. This guy does not know what he is talking about, please don't bring this website anymore traffic.
  • jdunlop2179, on 05/10/2008, -6/+2Also, it might be cool to build in a feature in the online play where a nuclear bomb come be obtained somehow, but definitely no more than one a month by a single individual. This could shut down all online play for two hours or something.
  • TecK415, on 05/10/2008, -0/+15This article is terrible, I had to comment again! Did they really just say Saints row's robberies were original and GTA should borrow that idea??? wtf, first, nothing in saint's row was original, second, in past GTA games you could do hold ups. This guy is a joke.
    • JMSantos, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2It also seems to imply WoW was the first (and only) game with expansive environments...
  • goffy59, on 05/10/2008, -0/+9"Robberies
    This is something developer Volition did with Saints Row, and Rockstar should borrow the idea. We want to be able to hold-up a convenience store, bank, clothing store or any other place with a register."
    This is already possible. Go play Vice City. Maybe not as full as they want but its already in Vice City.
  • Darksoul, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2Eh they are doing all this or have done this what a stupid ***** list the only one that he put on there that was smart and I bet Rockstar knows this and will probably impalement this for what ever game they do next in the gta series is Co-Op all of that list is just stupid I though that's what all the DLC is for they said was to expand the game and all DLC will be up to ten hours of more storyline what the hell is he complaining about this game is great and its long as hell if you take your time and to side missions I have only done like 60% of the game and I have been playing since day one.
  • PullingTeeth, on 05/10/2008, -2/+13I'd like an updated version of Vice City. Nothing can beat that storyline for me, with the updated features and graphics, I'd be in heaven.
  • schnikies79, on 05/10/2008, -10/+4I am the only one who thinks GTA just flat out sucks? I've played all of them and haven't cared for any...

    To each their own, but damn, what is the big deal?
    • noots, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2i havn't managed to finish any of them so far, but at 30% on GTA4 i'm actually starting to think i will this time. The story is far superior and actually holds your attention.

      i honestly think Rockstar strings the story out with too many random ***** missions that you don't really care about. I think if they 1/2 the actual story time and then focus on enriching the side missions and the things you can do in the city, people will finish the games alot more.
    • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -3/+4you should probably play GTA 4 and get back to us. if you don't like GTA 4, you simply don't like video games.
    • vivalagoat, on 05/10/2008, -2/+3I just hired it this afternoon, been playing it for 2 hours, and im gonna be honest, im bored of it already. Sure it looks pretty and all...but the characters just arent doing it for me. The first 10 missions are all the same aswell....drive here and pick up X .... now take X to Y. Now you have to drive to K and pick up E, drop E off at D. You idiot! You took too long to pick up F, just come here and pick me up and take me to W. ............ ***** YAWN
      • zerobackup, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3True, but welcome to every game ever made. RPGs: Kill x monsters, gain x experience, gain x levels, beat end boss. Racing games: Drive from x to y as fast as possible. Fighting games: Hit opponent x times until his health bar reaches 0. I could go on and on...the point is a game like this is in the details, the way it creates an interesting environment in which to play. If the social parody dripping from every character and radio station and billboard in the game doesn't appeal to you then it's probably just not your cup of tea.
  • whatthefu, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2Half of these would suck. A GTA game spanning the "whole world" would cease to be a GTA game, and it would be so big it wouldn't be fun.
  • ceraphin, on 05/10/2008, -1/+8I just want an adult only rating so my favorite series will have no limitations to it's content(and i'm not just talking about porn)
    • therightclique, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2that's moronic from an "actually selling more than 50 copies of the game" standpoint.
    • Karmavs, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2Hell no. That'd mean I wouldn't be able to get it. (Australia doesn't have an adults only rating for games; games that aren't able to be rated MA 15+ or below are banned. WTF?)
  • teambosun, on 05/10/2008, -18/+3For some reason I can't digg any comment down. Can someone digg this comment down to check if it's still working?
  • fred0204, on 05/10/2008, -0/+6I'm burying this article because it sucks and because this person submits only stories from that site... if the story's worth digging why don't you let a reader post it?
  • blankman, on 05/10/2008, -0/+18There are a lot of cool things they could do to make the next GTA much better.
    I'd like to see stuff like:

    -Instant Replay would be a great feature. I've done tons of stuff that I'd like to see again from different angles and slow motion, etc.

    - as many weapons as they can think of. Every GTA game I play gets kind of boring in terms of weapons. They need to add tons of them to the game. It would be great to still be discovering new weapons hours and hours into the game. I'd want stuff like sledgehammers, an array of different knives, axes, power tools, etc. They could also have a ton more guns too. Maybe even cool hidden weapons like if you rob a historic war museum, or even futuristic weapons if you go to some hidden lab or something. Making the weapons more interesting would be great.

    -Like the article said, car crashes need to be a lot better. I'd love to have realistic crashes if you hit something at high speed. GTA IV did make it a lot better with the body reactions to crashes, but the cars need to completely total themselves in a high speed crash, with air bag explosions and everything.

    -Customization of cars would be awesome. Not like in San Andreas really, but it would be nice to be able to get a pickup truck to your garage and be able to weld on roll bars, and armor, and all kinds of cool useful stuff. It would also be cool to be able to swap parts on cars, such as bringing back a sports car and a beater car and swap the engine out, making a beater car with a supercharged engine or something.

    -More interactive ability:
    -like being able to approach people on the street and have conversations. It would be cool to be able to chose from a list of possible responses. Like you could go up to a guy and chose to say "give me all your money or else" or "excuse me do you have any spare change". Or go up to any girl and say "hey you're hot, wanna go out?" or "damn, you need a paper bag on that face of yours". Stuff like that would add a whole lot more social feel to the game, especially if there were hundreds of conversation options.

    -Kidnapping would be a cool feature too, like forcing someone into your car (maybe utilizing the speech feature I just mentioned) and trying to collect ransom on them, or just to kill them.

    - More Vehicles. There's a nice array of cars already, but they just seem like repeats over and over after a few hours of play. I want a bunch of different brands of cars, like 6 different types of pickup trucks, or SUV's, or family sedans. Right now, they have 1 or 2 at most (with the exception of sports cars).

    -Stealth kills like in San Andreas, only with a lot more options. I want to be able to sneak up behind a bad guy and slit their throat like in San Andreas, and also, stuff like strangling them from behind with a rope, or snapping their neck, etc.

    - A lot better fighting skills. All GTA's have pretty crappy hand to hand combat. It would be awesome to be able to do cool moves on people. They really need an incredible fighting system in the next GTA.

    I can think of a lot more, but thats a good enough start for now Rockstar. Get working.
    • willy1234x1, on 05/10/2008, -2/+4For one, the crashes are perfect as is on GTA IV if they were realistic driving would be a hassle and you'd follow all the ***** laws.
      • antonio97b, on 05/10/2008, -4/+1You should be able to turn on realistic crime (meaning easier to get caught) on or off. Kind of gets boring having to kill 3 people in a row just to get one cop chase going. God forbid you want to save your bullets for the chase. Then you're stuck either beating 3 people up and risking they have guns or having to run them over.
        • TecK415, on 05/10/2008, -0/+7Uh, Unless I'm playing a different GTA IV, that isn't true for when I play, I ***** accidentally shoot off one round I instantly get a wanted level 90% of the time.
        • Morality, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2Step 1: Look around for a cop. If yes, shoot at him/kill pedestrians.
          Step 2: If no cop is nearby call 911 and start headshotting or stabbing pedestrians.

          DONE
    • Karmavs, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1“…futuristic weapons if you go to some hidden lab or something.” GTA + Portal?

      (actually, that'd probably suck)
    • Hoogs, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2All that stuff would be awesome, but the game probably wouldn't be completed within our lifetimes.
