Mafia 2's details with GTA IV's scope.
I appreciate that a lot of the depth to M2's details could only be done due to the linear nature of the storyline, but how about having some random events in game that occur only rarely?
Lets take an example:
Lets say you have a scripted car crash, set to go off if you drive down a certain road at a certain time. A Taxi gets rear ended by a black saloon, drivers get out and the saloon driver shoots the cabby. Now most of us would have driven strait past when it occurred, but lets say you stopped and ran to help the cabby - gives you a reward or achievement. Or you chased after and killed the saloon's driver - a different reward or achievement.
You could drive that road hundreds of times and never see it, since it will only happen at a certain time of day and with a random chance of occurring even then. Which would avoid the "OH LOOK! Its a person you can meet! Look at them, no you must we make the camera point at them! See, we even turn up there voice volume so you see them! DO THEIR MISSION *****!" we got in GTA IV.
Plus since it could only happen once on each playthough you could only get one achievement at a time - keeps the achievement nuts happy and gives you a choice of in game rewards to go for. And of course you can just choose not to bother with any of them and get the "Unobservant" award for skipping too many of them.
Oh, and it would be nice to see it back in the UK again boys.

How bout they just take GTA3, change the setting, improve the graphics, add some stuff, and all the other successful things they've been doing up until GTA4.
I really want a first person camera. If I'm supposed to shoot anything at all then for the love of all that's good let me do it in first person.
It just works better that way.
I'd also like a completely re-done police system where the cops don't have a fucking GPS beacon planted on me.
Also your wanted level stays even after the pursuit has ended and you could hide from the cops and the cops may or may not recognize you. It would create a sort of cool outlaw feel to the game.
When a pursuit happens there should be a limited amount of cops chasing you so you could kill off your pursuers and escape before the backup arrives.
Then the cops should stop being complete homicidal lunatics and we have the best police system ever.

Screw realism. I'm so sick of "Realism" in my VIDEO GAMES! They're not there to simulate it, they're there to MOCK it. Saints Row > GTA.
Take out the grit, the grime and the "reality." Just go back to good old nonsensical fun...I guess just make the game not suck.
Also, for multi-player, turn world PvP off, make it have to be voted on. Sometimes I just want to mess around in care chases with my friends and Mr. KillJoy just needs to end it all by doing nothing but shooting us, even though we don't shoot back.

I would like more choice in clothing, perhaps even some degree of change. Bullet holest and such. Same for car, more choices in appearance.
But what I'd like most of all is a better consequence AI. After killing 50 *add many 0's here* people I dont want to drive a few blocks away and be best friends with police. I dont want people to think of me as some random guy after I shot down the mayor and slaughtered the whole fbi unit. I want consequences!

Bully for me was by far Rockstar's most atmospheric, fun game. I got so lost in that wierd little town and the stories of its residents.
I'd like to see alot more char customizing and clothing not just shitting outfit 1 or shitty outfit 2, this is one of the reason why saints row 2 >>>>> gta. And as you start taking over areas i wanna see gangs put hits out on you and target you while you're running around town. kinda dumb you can kill the head of a russian mob family inside his own club, then go back and have a drink in it w/o anyone doing anything to you.
For none of the rockstar developers to listen to anyone in this thread. I loved GTA4 and playing vice city again, I'm glad they made the realistic changes
I hope they set it in somewhere that isn't America, England would be awesome. London, Birmingham, Nottingham etc...

I'd like for it to be good for once, or failing that, I'd like for it to be slightly fun. The only joy I've gotten out of any GTA game is running over hookers on a motorcycle listening to hair metal.
