[Gumby, dammit]

Sorry... Just had to do it.

I would like something to the sort of 9/11,you riding an airplane with a parachute,and then just as you're about to hit a building,jump out and parachute safely to the ground while the passengers die a horrid death.
That probably won't make it,though.

Here's some features I've read from this month's Game Informer...
1. Eat to much at the fast food joints,Carl Johnson (( Your guy )) gets fat. How do you get regular,or even stronger? Go to the gym.
2. You can hire people to work with you.
3. House Break-ins.

That's all I know,and the airplane part was mine.

I'd like to see your gang being able to control neighborhoods, and constantly be rivalling other gangs for turf. The turf would generate money. I'd also like to see gangs be able to fluctuate in power- the game would keep track of numbers, wealth, etc. There could be an underground political system (for which the system in Civ III would be perfectly suited), and you could ally with other gangs. The game would still keep track of whether or not you were in their favor, but they would also be aware of your power and would become quite passive if you were very powerful.

I'd also like to see a 'design your own streetrace' mode in which you could place checkpoints and select which vehicles could be used.

A couple more things:
Upgrades. Some stolen vehicles could have a few upgrades such as tinted windows (commit a crime, then ditch your vehicle while outside the view of the police, and they'll forget about you unless you reenter the vehicle).

Buy a vehicle! Almost any kind of vehicle can be bought. After this, it will always be available at your hideout (choose which hideout by parking it there) after it has been lost or destroyed. You could also upgrade your vehicle beyond what you can upgrade stolen vehicles: Improve power, handling, armour...

Phone your friends: At any point, you can call your fellow gang members and they'll arrive with stuff of your choice: Cars, weapons, a couple other members of your gang to help you out. If it spawns at your hideout, it can be delivered.

Id also like to see the street races, and the house break-ins.

I want some more rap music in this game, but i hope they keep lazlow on the radio, and they dont make it all rap, so i can still cruise around listening to my "Working for the Weekend", or "Shes on fire" type songs.

I want more missions like pizza boy and such. Not sure what though.

I hope these "Three Cities" will be cool, and have some sort of easy access between, like a plane or something, so you dont have to drive everytime. I hope that you can drive though, and that the countryside has like, random farms and such that you can pillage. That would be awsome.

More emphisis on the gang would be cool. Like you start out getting out of jail or something, and being low status, but eventually you rise to the top of the gang. Your gang could eventually take over one of the cities, or even all three.

I want the casino to be able to be rigged to a certain level so that people keep coming..or it can be generous so that more and more people come to it, that would be cool.

I can't wait for this game, it will seriously be awsome.

I'd also like to see odder weapons.

Senario: You get trapped in a corner,unarmed,against 4-5 guys with uzis. They open fire and you get wasted.

Better Senario: Trapped in a corner with 4-5 guys with uzis. You pick up a trash can and shove it on one of then,while bashing the others over and over again with a brick.

Also,if they have a countryside,Carl would get a whole new choice of weapons such as a hoe,a shovle,ect... Not to mention TRACTORS!!! I can imagine running over a farmer with his getting trapped in the tractor's blades.
As veichles go,I'd like to see a cop motorcycle and a tractor,and I also would like to see better things to get around on foot,like going to a store and getting skates,a scooter,or skateboard. I'm not saying it should turn into Tony Hawk,but having those means of transportation could get a whole buncha unique and insane stunt bonus.
I'll post more of what I'd like later.

I never thought about tractors and farmer vehicles such as that, that would be completely awsome. You and three guys drive into the other gang's territory and drive-by in a tractor. That would be funn.

I WANTZ A BIKICAL IN TEH GAYM, IT WOOD RACK, IMO LOL.

More weapeons, like bricks, Desert Eagle, Swords, Throwing Knifes, etc.

Better car physics, like damage.

More Building to explore, like peoples houses, offices, shops, car warehouses.

Better hand to hand combat, like wrestle, hook punches, uppercuts, back hand blows, chops, elbows drops, cressant moon kicks, side kicks, etc.

Really. In Vice City,the punch,punch,kick just gets very boring very fast.
Maybe a machine gun. No,not a sub machine gun like an uzi. Maybe dual colt pythons. I think there's gonna be dual pistols.

You should be able to drop your vehicle off, no matter what it is, and Pimp Your Ride.

A couple more things (I love doing this)

I'm sick of spending thousands on a weapon for some mission, then losing the 'leftovers' when I die. I think weapons should be ditched at your hideout, where they could be reclaimed at any time (actually, you can already do this with the security checkpoints at the golf course and airport, to a limited extent). You should also be able to take only a certain amount of ammo- if you're only going to need a few hundred rounds or a single rocket, why risk all the rest? Leave it for later.

Similarly, weapons could be bought independantly of ammo. So you could buy a submachine gun for $800, then ammo at, say, 100 rounds for $50. Or, one rocket launcher for $3000, then rockets for $500 apiece. That sort of thing. Of course, your gun would no longer dissapear when it ran out.

I think that guns should slow you down regardless of whether or not they are in your hands. Weapons like the pistol or knife that could be put into a pocket would be more or less weightless, while very heavy weapons like the rocket launcher would slow you right down. I don't think these types of weapons should be carried on bikes. There could be a middle category for guns like the shotgun and assault rifle, that could be carried alongside the pistol and would slow you down just a little.

I think that some situations would call for guns to be concealed. This could only be done with the very small guns- and even then, security checkpoints or a simple search would reveal them. Any gun could be stashed- hidden in an out of the way place for later (Remember the washroom trick in the first Godfather?). This would be important in planning some missions, if you were to want more firepower than could be concealed or didn't want to have to lug a rocket launcher (that would later be useful) around during a firefight. Also, a heavy, valuable gun such as the minigun could be abandoned when it was no longer useful, then reclaimed. This way, it wouldn't hinder you.

[Gumby, dammit]

One word: Traps. At certain stores,you could buy things like mines,road spikes,ect...

Also,make your own weapons. When I actualy DO use Molotovs,I don't feel like blowing cash just for 10. Instead,I'd like to find some beer bottles,and get some gasoline to make some molotovs.

Another,intresting thing. Executions like in Manhunt. I'm tired of just batting people down. I'd rather just sit back,and see a level 3 baseball bat execution.

More later...
