Damn, my cover is blown. Time to come clean. I am a R* employee. My official title is "Fan Forum Ramblings Aggregator". My job is to troll around these forums all day looking for ideas to incorporate into our games. See, we at R* don't really know how to make entertaining games, and without these forums, we would be totally out of touch with our fan base. In fact, the real reason GTAV has been delayed is that we are just now finding some really useful ideas, and we want to have time to implement them. Like riding around on elephants, or bringing back Niko (can't believe we didn't think of that!), etc. As long as you guys keep feeding us these inspired ideas, we promise to keep delaying the game!

I'd really like to at least be a volunteer sherrif or something and call in backup when I need it. I loved the police missions in IV but hated that the moment you fired on a AK-wielding mobster who's spraying the cops, the cops turn their attention at you. The modders did a great job with police missions in both SA and IV. You can call in swat, perform cpr on fellow officers or call an ambulance. I think spike strips should return, and of course tear gas. I'm guessing K-9 units should be fun too

GTA Car Modification Car modification should come back to GTA and it should be like no other car customization ever seen in a video game. Here's a draft for an extreme, over-the-top, and expansive idea I've created. Tell me what you think. Summary Cars should have an extensive modification system by being able to buy custom parts from multiple retailers for different types of vehicles. The custom parts could be rewards from missions as well. Also you should be able to take parts from vehicles you hi Jack or buy and put them in other vehicles. Such as dropping a banshee's engine in a dukes or the exhaust system of a comet and put it in a ballista. (A) Garage(s) should be able to be purchased at some point in the game where you can store up to 5 cars while you work on them. Rims, rim sizes, tires and the ride height should all be used as aspects of modification. Custom parts and chassis should be able to be created or purchased. Everything in a vehicle should be customizable including numerous interior options such as gps's, seats, steering wheels, sound systems, and gauges. After making your vehicles you should be able to sell them for a profit based on the quality, speed, uniqueness and sex appeal of a vehicle. The Garage When you park a vehicle in the garage you own, there should be no specific way to park it and when you leave it there it stays in the same place. To interact with the car to take parts from it or add to it, all you should have to do is walk up to the desired vehicle, press the interaction button listed and a menu of options will pop up. The menu would include engine, chassis, transmission, wheels and dimensions, body, paint shop, and interior. Select one of the headers and subsections would come up with the different sections of the selected header. for example you select engine, another list would come up with options to select different parts of the engine to mod or to take the whole engine out of the vehicle and place it on the shelf*. (the shelf is the place where all purchased or acquired parts will go to, to be selected an used at a later time in different vehicles) once done modding the selected, go back to the main options menu for the selected vehicle and you should have the choice to sell the vehicle, scrap it or leave it for future use. New garages should be able to be purchased or the garage should be upgradable with better furnishings, tools, stands, lifts and options for how to store un-used vehicles so you can fit more vehicles in the garage such as lifts. The car saving system in your garage will consist of saving five vehicles to one mod garage. If you lose, blow up, abandon, impound, bury, drown, crush, smash, or whatever else you manage to do to your car while running from the 5-0, you will be able to access your saved car from the garage menu and be able to retrieve it and/or repair the car for a price. The car saving option in your garage is directly linked to your online profile (details listed in online section) Parts Cars and parts should be able to be bought at stores, fabricated in the garage (such as the sunshine auto side missions in VC), received from missions, and/or purchased at junk yards where you can take a tow truck or pick-up and take vehicles for parts or just pick up parts for the cars you have. The vehicles that show up in the junk yard should be ones off the street that you have totalled by killing the driver in an "accident". There also should be a few unique vehicles you get either from missions or the junk yard that if you restore you get and achievement or trophy. These unique vehicles could give you a large cash sum if you sell them or special benefits if you keep them. Some parts could also be ordered off the internet and/or may be illegal and if the cops catch you with them they may arrest you. Another possible idea would be that you could collect different blueprints hidden around the city where if you collected them, they would give you a list of things from different vehicles that you needed to create a mystery object. some of these mystery objects could include hood mounted machine guns, knee cappers, plated metal windows, oil slicks, wheelie bars, and spiked bumpers (overall killing machine parts). It could be a bit of fun mowing peds over with a truck that looks something out of Death Race. One extremely well hidden blueprint could be the one to making a secret vehicle that has an achievement or trophy connected to it. Dealerships Vehicles could be purchased from retailers throughout the city from the retailer the cars maker is associated to. For example you would have a déclassé dealership selling Stallions, Sabres, Etc., and at the dealerships you can purchase a new vehicle that is in the show room or on the lot or you can also order one off the dealerships website. The website will allow you to build the car with whatever options you desire and whatever color you wish to have. This option will cost extra. The date of the cars expected arrival will be placed on your organizer on your cell phone or you can have the vehicle shipped directly to your garage for an extra cost. This will place the vehicle outside of your garage and will eliminate the risk of you losing your new car driving it back to a save point. At used car dealers, you can buy what else? Used cars! This is also the place you would take a car from your garage that you wish to sell, running or not. Buying vehicles from used dealers could be a buyer beware situation where you are not quite sure what you’re going to get. Sometimes you can buy a cheap parts car that turns out to have a V-10 engine under the hood, or a nice looking Banshee that has no engine at all. During the game, an online auto trader will become available where you can find a wide arrange of vehicles to choose from. Again this is a buyer beware situation. These cars can be shipped to your garage or picked up from the owner. Online Multiplayer In Free Mode, Races and a possible new mode called Car Show (Rate My Ride) your modified cars from story mode can be loaded to your online profile by an option in the garage in story mode. Free Mode You can select from five of your saved vehicles and load them into an online free mode match, allowing you to always have your favourite cars readily available to you. If you are killed by one of your fellow gamers (odds are you will be) you can re load the very same vehicle into the game. There will be select spawn points for cars and you will only be allowed one at a time (reduce game lag) but you will be able to trade them for another one of your saved vehicles. Races Races will allow you to race against your friends and the community by entering your vehicle into a race with other vehicles of the same class as the one you have nominated. You can compete for cash or pink slips in a head to head match. Cash will be carried over to your single player game so you can spend it on whatever you desire. If either you, or your opponent win in a pink slip race, you would have the option of taking the other persons car, or a cash reward instead. Car Show Car show is a new game mode much like rate my ride where you can view, rate a purchase other peoples vehicles, but a new feature is being able to take a vehicle you are considering buying and test driving the vehicle in a blank version of the game map, giving you a chance to see if the car is right for you. This game mode gives you the chance to flaunt your best designs and where your friends are allowed to view your vehicles easily by selecting your name in the online mode options list.

Incendiary rounds would be fun. It would be like having 30 Molotov cocktails that can be used in 3 seconds...

I like the idea of different types off ammunition, would add a layer of planning to what you load up with for a certain mission btw, a dumdum isn't a bullet with a X hammered into it, it is actually is an expanding lead round which has the copper or brass jacket left open at the tip, it gives better expansion than a plain FMJ, but are actually rarer than hollow points, they penertrate better and expand slower. A better starting round would possibly be plain FMJ, followed by hollow points, then (depending on available weapons) armour peircing or incendiary rounds Would be cool if they do this

It just won't make any sense if GTA V comes out and is amazing yet still has retarded police. More realistic the better. If it comes out and not enough has changed it'll seriously affect the game for me... :/

stopped playing saints row 3 after about a week or two, complete shit i think. and this looks just like repackaged bullshit.

I pulled something out of a dream once into reality. = True story.

i want over the top international gangstas... not infamous 3...

You're welcome. -Rockstargames

Yeah, I think Michael is a pretty cool guy. He lives in Beverly Hills and doesn't afraid of anything! He'll definitely be my number two most guy I will use, right after the infamous Trevor of Michael. Please don't reproduce if you somehow find a woman who's interested in smart asses. Your kind plauges our society and often hides behind a computer so nothing can be done to eradicate you. Foreal english may not be this persons first language, or maybe he/she hasn't received that high of a level of english education. So cut them a break and respond to the point they were trying to get across instead of being a douche about their english. You obviously understood what they were trying to say... On topic: I'm really curious when trevor was developed. The first time we saw him (as he is now at least) was in that screenshot where he's aiming an AK up at the police helicopter. Makes me wonder if either: 1. they simply didn't show him in the first trailer, 2. he was in the first trailer but was later redesigned, or 3. his character didn't exist at the time. I'm thinking #2.

Re-watched the trailer, pausing between all the pointless text frames to better investigate the game. Same clothing, only a couple new additions. Steelport looks exactly the same, other than the signs being changed to reflect the presence of their new alien overlord (Seriously? ). Same cars, same graphical quality. It looks like all they're doing is charging $60 for the $20 DLC.

If it makes you feel any better, he has an extremely small penis.

^You should probably read that post above you, then think about that comment again.

Gotta disagree. I've always loved the GTA series because I think R* gets the difficulty just right. Any time I play some other game that takes more than 4-5 attempts to pass a mission, I stifle the urge to throw my controller through the TV screen and instead return to the GTA universe. I suppose my preference for moderately easy games qualifies me as a casual gamer. I'm a pissy adult.

Looks alot like the police bikes from SA and VC. White paint here, siren there... Whatcha think?
