Thank you all for contributing to this very successful cause!
I will send off this list to Rockstar on the 30th of November, 2009.
Please make sure you make any more suggestions before this deadline (weekends included).
This is a list of features and suggestions by YOU - the player!
I'm going to compile a list to send off to Rockstar, so our input can help make GTA V a much better and improved game than GTA IV.
My suggestions:
Your phone shouldn't drop when you jump off the edge of a building. The game should prevent you from walking off a ledge that's high enough to make you roll or get hurt. The latter suggestion should only apply when you're in a phone conversation.
Introduce a repair station, ideally located next to a Pay'n'Spray, that repairs your vehicle for a cost, which scales up based on how much damage there is.
When entering a Pay'n'Spray, you should be able to select a preferred vehicle colour(s) from a radial menu or the sqaure block menu from San Andreas. Have a random button for those who like the random outcomes.
The Pay'n'Spray should only advance the game time ONLY if there are police chasing you. There is no need to advance time when you are not wanted.
If the new Pay'n'Spray is implemented, then the repair station would be obsolete, as you can just pop into a Pay'n'Spray and choose your current car colour.
Introduce a new police system, where officers actually respond to calls and investigate crime scenes. Not all police officers are psychic, so why should you get a wanted level as soon as someone makes a call?
Introduce a notoriety system to work with the crime scene investigations. Repeat criminal offences in the same general area and officers will catch on.
The notoriety system should also affect how many people (including police officers) have seen your face. Should this apply to vehicles too?
Change the time scale feature from 2RealSeconds:1GameMinute to something like 6RS:1GM or 24RS:1GM. This will allow players to actually accomplish more tasks in the game day, rather than overrunning into the early morning of the next day because of a pool game, for example. It does not take 10 minutes to walk from one end of a short street to the other.
Introduce more clothing venues - there are so many different types of clothing you can incorporate. Maybe you could have a tough-guy styled store that sells masks to combat notoriety?
Let the player manage a bank account with the ability to actually withdraw funds from an ATM machine.
Change the way mission completions reward you with money by putting a fraction of the money in your bank account. Perhaps double the reward money so the player has the intended amount of reward, while still having savings in their account?
Let players store guns in their safehouses. Perhaps a small room dedicated to the weapons or wall-mounted weaponry?
Include all activities from GTA IV in GTA V on launch day. Improve on the activities introduced in GTA IV and add a few more to mix things up.
More than two weapons per slot.
Reintroduce silenced weapons as well as a stealth system that is more forgiving than San Andreas' system.
Have more enter-able buildings with more interesting things inside. Apartment buildings get pretty boring after a while.
Bring back purchasing properties. Don't just restrict them to safe-houses this time. Perhaps you could rent out your purchased apartment building to tenants, who will pay you rent money?
Vastly improve on the multiplayer aspect of the game. Maybe you can introduce dedicated server allocation instead of making a player locally host the game?
The mechanics and functioning of GTA IV's multplayer are severely flawed and show a somewhat lazy attempt at developing it. This time, spend a lot of time refining the multiplayer aspect and playtest a lot, to ensure a good multiplayer experience.
I want to go for a drink with my buddies in Free Mode, as well as do most activities that were in GTA IV single player. Eg. bowling, golf, pool, fast-food eating, comedy club etc.
A custom radio station, similar to GTA IV PC, where music from the hard drive is played accompanied with a DJ.
In GTA IV, you would bump into someone and they would drop their held object and stare at you for a few seconds. Then they'd walk away! In GTA V, they should pick up/resume their action(s) prior to the rude knock.
Introduce a menu system for changing/choosing clothes. No-one likes to have to browse through every single piece of apparel just to get to the one they want - especially when there's a blackout loading screen. Square block menu would work, with a preview when the cursor is over the apparel.
Light bumps and falling over shouldn't result in death when you have low health. I'm talking about being lightly tapped by a car, falling over and rolling about etc. Why do these things kill you?
kevlar jens' suggestions:
-Should take place in Vice City.
-Parachutes integrated on launch day.
-A more refined multiplayer.
-Upgraded engine, GTA4 begins to look outdated.
-No exclusive DLC.
zerglingv2's suggestions:
-More aircraft
-Should take place across an entire state like SA but better
-More weapons not just 2 tiers.
Fire and Ice's suggestion:
Movement that doesn't feel like guiding a onelegged donkey through a sea of treacle and rock.
Blackwater's suggestions:
Breakable trees now. You can thrump a light down with a car, but a tiny stick and your car crashes. That would be improvement.
First person view for cars and wheel support would be cool too (G25 in GTA, that's just awesome.. if I saw it from the inside of the car)
Not just a PC port, make it have performance. Remove the physics you used for GTA IV if those made it run that bad on lower end systems.
gmaster's suggestion:
Decent optimization for pc.
Jimbojib's suggestions:
More stuff to do that takes timebut is fun, I did all the base jumps in a few minutes and then realised that I didn't have much to do.
More friends that you can meet randomly, like girls at Massonette9.
Better MP menus and stuff.
PHONE GAMES
FullStreak's suggestions:
Guns.
A better multiplayer, liek a developer thing.
More vehicles(off and on road)
Make it so you can mod it and make your hookers make u go up to the sky
CAR FUCKIGN CUSTOMIZATION
FunnyBunny's suggestions:
Better cheats. SA's cheats were godly.
Co-op. Only no distance restriction like in SA.
Planes. Parachutes are a given
Rampages
Destructible trees.
Customizable cars
Buy property (ie houses, clubs, etc)
MAspiderface's suggestion:
Drop in/Drop out co-op.
tankkiller's suggestions:
Niko(or Luis) as the protagonist
Lots and lots of weapons
Lots and lots of good cheats, the same ones in SA
The ability to buy houses/businesses that make you money
Planes
Tanks
Destroyable trees
More guns
Good graphics, no grainy shit
Lots of enter-able buildings
s0m3_guy's suggestions:
Alternating weapon skins or even stats, so you can get Glocks with silver slides or slightly more rusted AKs.
Better driving and racing AI.
Time goes slower on a mission but may go quicker when you're not on a mission.
More shooting/less accuracy, it's too easy to hit people in blind fire or normal shooting and sometimes ruins the cinematic feel.
Better police AI, less bullshit police AI, they might know where you are instead of tracking you down by their radar.
Boobookittyfuck's suggestions:
Manageable and legit business' that earn you money(clubs, bars, shops, stores, etc.)
Manageable crime fronts that earn you money(prostitution, chop shops, etc.)
Car customization
Better wardrobe options
San Andreas, or atleast somewhere with a big countryside.
More interactable buildings
More intelligent cop A.I.
mysteryman's suggestions:
vice city
no vehicle slipping.
buttsyrupp's suggestions:
-something like in the game Driv3r where if you were out of the cops line of sight after a car chase then got out of the car, they wouldn't recognize you, as they didn't see your face.
-the ability to buy houses, apartments, businesses, all sorts of things, legal or illegal.
-bring back the insane cheats, like no gravity cars and pedestrian riots
- bring back better melee weapons like the Katana, Chainsaw, and Dildo
- have a mission like the one in San Andreas where you visit liberty city, so in GTA V whatever city you're at have a mission where you go visit GTA IV's liberty city.
-Co-op
dumdydum's suggestion:
Its a lot to ask for, but I'd like Vice city and san andreas both to be drivable from Liberty city. Even if it isn't drivable, a plane to it (+ some loading time) would be cool. A use for the airport, kinda like GTA SA
Kath's suggestions:
- Aircraft
• Chinook
• Fighter Jets
• No In-fucking-credibly large 747's.
• Planes, Seriously, I don't fucking care if I can re-do 9-11, that was 8 Years ago, get over it, I do it with the empire state building and helicopters anyway
• More than three helicopters, including, The one that nobody likes ( Maverick ) The one that just runs people over ( Annihilator) and the one that fucks shit up ( Buzzard )
-Cars / Trucks / Land Vehicles
• Less Shitty Sedans, More average cars.
• More Motorcycles
• Some Exotic Vehicles, Monster trucks, Sand rails, Snow Mobiles
-SMGs
• THE FUCKING SMG IS NOT A WEAPON THAT MOWS DOWN EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH
• GUNS DON'T FUCKING RELOAD BY SIMPLY PULLING THE CHARGING HANDLE
• IF I CAN'T SEE SOMEONES RETICLE, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT MY BULLETS SIMPLY GO POOF BEFORE THEY HIT
-Assault Rifles
• GUNS DON'T FUCKING RELOAD BY SIMPLY PULLING THE CHARGING HANDLE
• IF I CAN'T SEE SOMEONES RETICLE, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT MY BULLETS SIMPLY GO POOF BEFORE THEY HIT
-Shotguns
• A SHOTGUN IS NOT A RIFLE, IT DOES NOT HAVE THE RANGE OF A M4A1 CARBINE
-Environment
• I want to be able to change the environment ( Snow, Ice, Wet, Flooded, Hurricane, Volcano )
• Map with different areas ( Cliffs, Mountains, City, Suburbs, Ocean, Desert, San Andreas did this quite well, but most of the areas were too small. )
Rallepower's suggestions:
-split-screen/co-op is a must.
-also make more stuff to do in the free-time. like in SA
bicycles and planes.
-no exclusive dlc
-make more stuff breakable. it's retarded to drive into a fence or tree and the car goes boom.
-improve the phone a bit. it was disturbing when he auto called after a mission and there were still guys shooting at you, you don't want do die but you want to hear the call to.
-make some multiplayer/singelplayer mini-games. that's always a nice time to spend time with.
-fun and retarded cheats when you just want to fuck around.
-good story and characters you love (Gta Iv did a nice job with this)
-parachutes are awesome
Olanov's suggestion:
Video Editor
Sgt.Kiddles's suggestion:
No more of the oops I barely touched a police car or the they ran into me now they are going to start chasing and shooting at me bullshit.
Ryzo's suggestion:
Customizable character.
Sharp_Shoote's suggestion:
A crosshair for the helicopters because the only decent way for aiming is to go in firstperson and guess where the middle of the screen is and fire.
InsanePyro's suggestion:
BOATHOUSES
cheezey's suggestions:
Fucking genius police; enable us to make hostages and ask ransom or to make a clean getaway. The police would really surround building that you're in and send SWAT teams into the building. They would use police bikes again. The police could also do more unrealistic cinametic crap during police chases; hard to explain but make them do more jumps or crash into each other.
The next things would be utterly awesome but are just more of a fantasy. The police could use dogs to chase you in the woods and breach walls and that sort of crap when you're hiding in a building. The police would also start to search if you reach higher wanted levels the with helicopters and at night they could be looking / patrolling for you with flashlights and sniffing dogs in the woods When you reach 6 stars the countryside would be fully evacuated and the cities protected with sniper fire and roadblocks on every block etc. the national guard patrols the streets with APC's. The police zone would be enormous; if it had multiple cities it would be 1 citie and it's surrounding area big. However; if you gets spotted the zone wouldn't fully center on you but just shove a bit to make you able to escape
Maximum Mod's suggestions:
Being able to steal clothes so you can play cop (The people should believe that you actually are a cop, and tell you about crimes goin' down)
Awesome shops where you can buy all sorts of stuff, like bigger TVs, radios, computers and shit like that. Also more clothshops where you can buy weird clothes, military clothes and more.
Oh, it would be fun if you could redecorate your house/apartment.
Ability to read magazines
Customizable cars and weapons. (Like buy a sight)
FoxMeister's suggestions:
Really high risk bank jobs that can be done in free mode, as a multiplayer mode and in the story
But i mean really high risk, like you need a shit load of planning with roadblocks and helicopter backup and really hard to shake off police
It's also be cool if they set it before the 2000's
Chaosdog30's suggestions:
Should take place in London or smth... Getting tired of America.
And the countryside PLEASE!
HWECQI's suggestions:
Changing seasons through storyline like in Bully, it'd be awesome to play GTA in the winter.
I also thought it would be cool to possibly do the story from a bent cops perspective
*Mall
*Customizable character (like Saints Row but better)
*TANK
*All the weapons from IV and hopefully more (I REALLY want a fucking revolver in GTA)
*zombie mode, both single player and multiplayer
*MAKE BANK ROBBERIES AND OTHER EPIC THINS LIKE THAT SOMETHING YOU CAN DO OUT OF MISSIONS! SERIOUSLY, THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME
aridpheonix's suggestion:
Silenced pistol, that doesn't attract attention unless you are seen aim it it any someone or something. When you shoot, nobody knows who did it. Like the SA pistol but better done than that.
TunnelSnake's suggestions:
Stuff that should be in GTA V:
-motorcycle cops
-more varied weapons
-better facial animation outside of cutscenes
-all the nifty features introduced in the episodes
-replayable missions
-mission checkpoints
FoxMeister's suggestion:
The bloodsplatter effects blew me away in GTA IV
But if I shoot someone in the head, I wanna leave my mark there.
I don't want everyone I shoot in the head getting an open casket funeral, if you know what I mean
Master117's suggestion:
completely destructible environments
evilweazel's suggestions:
A better melee combat system
More innovative vehicles (Car carrying helis, big planes, military stuff, etc.)
An Assassins Creed like climbing system
More weapons
More Charecter customization
Travel to new cities
More mini games
Hot coffee.
Red Faction Guerrilla type buildings(inb4 9/11 jokes)
L4D2 like gore system.
Death Giver's suggestion:
ability to buy drugs off the street and use them and buy like a bong too :D
Robert!'s suggestions:
minigun
tanks
jetpacks
Ginteru's suggestion:
I wish tanks would be taken back into the game
Techie's suggestions:
No more unrealistic shitty ass cop fail shit.
No more unrealistic shitty ass gun fail shit.
No more unrealistic shitty ass car fail shit.
No more unrealistic shitty ass map fail shit.
hillo3's suggestion:
Cars with better suspension than in IV
Mlisen14's suggestion:
Flying cars.
First person view while on foot.
More melee weapons.
FoxMeister's suggsetions:
When you are in a man to man standoff situation and you're both in cover, you see the guy's head pop out and by the time the character has turned around to shoot, the guy is safe again. I want a quicker way to accurately pop someones head off instead of just hoping that by the time I've swung my gun around, this guy's head is in the way of my bullet
And sometimes I don't want to sacrifice speed for accuracy. I just want to run and gun, and if I hit a guy then lucky me.
tl;dr I think shooting out of cover, and moving while shooting is too slow and should be changed in the next GTA
Also, some more bullettime action would be awesome
BrQ's suggestions:
* More different areas, not only a city but also mountains and forests. Inhabited mountains and forests ofcourse.
* Snow and hurricanes
* A more realistic way of throwing objects at people
* Cops on motorcycles
* hostages
* Bombs which you can plant on the walls.
* more customizable things (player, cars, house etc.)
* More things on the road which'll make you feel badass
* make the knife a lot more stronger
* more, but smaller, cities
* A hitlist
* an ability to run your own gang (you'll have to get your own territories, members, weapons etc.) Not one which is part of a mission or something, you should be able to do it in your freetime.
* drugs
* More things to do with your money
* Cops will get suspiscious and will pay more attention on you. For example, if you are ramming lots of cars next to a cop, it should pay more attention to you, and maybe even follow you from a distance. When you do more stupid things you should get wanted (1 star)
* Trees that fall when you hit them hard enough.
* A mission where you see CJ and Tommy again. Or atleast you should see them in a background of a mission (for example, you start a mission, you see your 2 best friend talking, you should see CJ talking with his girlfriend or something but it shouldn't be very clear. So like a small easteregg)
* VANDALISM
rapperkid04's suggestions:
I've always wanted to see parkour in a city game like GTA and I've always wanted a game that had variety as far as melee goes.
Add several (20-40) fighting styles, an innovative way of using special moves/combos and make it realistic.
Dont eat me's suggestion:
In multiplayer, a zombie infestation mode
willhelmutt's suggestions:
*Full character,vehicle and weapon customization.
*Dismemberment.
*Buildings that can be destroyed.
*Bigger helicopters.
*Planes.
*More clothes shops.
*Stealing from shops.
*Car shops.
*Bikes.
*Industrial vehicles.
Ezhik's suggestions:
Moody, but not emo. The serious storyline made the game awesome. But there should be characters like Roman.
Not set in the past. All that internet stuff was awesome.
Not that yo wasup nigga (no offence) shit like San Andreas had.
DLC, but not exclusive to one console, make it for all of them.
Full SDK with PC version.
Higginz511's suggestions:
The ability to use any prop as a melee weapon. (bricks n planks and stuff)
benos' suggestions:
Crawling.
Binoculars.
Elevators.
Needs more malls. So you got all your clothing, food places, etc. Shopping. Since you'll be shopping for a massacre inside
Playing with trolleys and shit. Or having a two player trolley race with others online. :) Bashing old ladies in supermarkets.
dealersRus's suggestions:
Notoriety system has passed it's sell by date. No more arresting me at gunpoint for punching that ped that just had to walk infront of my car. A respect/fear system for peds, if they respect/fear me then they shouldn't tell police about my law breaking.
Ability to get drunk whenever, like TBoGT.
SlayerFin's suggestions:
One word: GORE. When you shoot a guy with a shotgun, head should explode.
Children maybe? Animals? Forests? Abandoned places? Countryside with crazy hillbillies? Weapon customization?
And weapon ideas:
MELEE:
Chainsaw
Katana
Fire Axe
Cleaver
PISTOLS:
Magnum
Beretta
SMG
UMP45
RIFLES:
G36C
SCAR-L
hypno-toad's suggestions:
- Character experience upgrading like in San Andreas
- Larger map, not everything needs to be incredibly dense, have some countryside for god's sake.
- Airplanes as drivable vehicles
- Multiple fighting styles for hand to hand. Similar to San Andreas
- The ability to use assault rifles and shotguns out the window while being driven in passenger seats.
- Secondary fire on some weapons
- A better selection of pistols. No more tier systems, lets just have a better selection in general.
- The ability to hide from police better. It beats me why police always know exactly what type of vehicle you are driving at all times. You should be able to lay low to avoid police detection by acting nonchalant.
