Well this is my first post on this forum, so i i haven't read the other 96 pages in this thread so sorry if i repeat other peoples posts.
As you guys are talking about radio station, it would be great if once you'd completed a mission for instance blown up a governemnt building or shot someone important, the radio stations would cut in with breaking news, someone killed and explain your character so you'd no it was you. i no this was done in SA, for instance that rapper getting a contract and going on laslows radio station but then that was just constantly repeated on that radio station, it would good to hear that two weeks after you killed that individual you heard that a funeral was taking place etc, so old news isn't repeated.
secondly it would have to be shooting people through cars, depending on the power of the weapon, so a pistol can shoot holes through the glass, but can't penetrate the roof or metal work on cars, but a shotgun can blow the door off etc, and depending on the distance that you shoot an individual, depends on the extent of there injuries, that person dies or just has to go to hospital.
Random animals should be in the game aswell, i don't no if there will be a massive open countryside like in SA, but if so fill the countryside with animals such as bears dogs cats etc, bears attack you etc or you have to steel a bear as it is an endangered creature. would make the game more lifelike.
and finally (sorry to carry on talking lol) but if there are animals and this game is based on newyork i wonder if they would have the police horses, how cool would it be to steel a police horse and ride around newyork being chased by cop cars .
