Well since GTA IV is considered a true sequel to GTA III, it would make sense that Claude will make a return as the main character.

I would have to say that if GTAIV has as much or more wilderness as San Andreas, there should be animals. Bears, mountain lions, wolves, dear, rabbits, wild boars, etc. Anything that would make the wilderness more interesting. Bigfoot would be cool too. And of course domesticated animals as well since if Bully can have dogs, why not GTA?

As I mentioned before in this topic, Carcer City is GTA's take on Detroit, a city full of poverty, crime, and corruption and a perfect addition to the GTA universe. And also, if a future game does feature Carcer City it will most likely feature the entire state it resides in. This will include Liberty City (we can finally see what's behind the mountains, another part of the city perhaps?) and quite possibly GTA versions of Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. Not to mention the surrounding towns and regions. Hell, my dream GTA game would consist of the stuff mentioned above as well as an expansion of both the Vice City and San Andreas maps. Vice City would be now part of a chain of islands (Florida Beads?) with GTA versions of New Orleans, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Houston, and Tampa. A GTA version of Key West would also be in order. San Andreas would have GTA versions of Seattle, Honolulu, and Phoenix in addition to the three we already have. And then where ever GTAIV takes place (the British Isles?) my dream GTA game would include an expansion of that map as well. As long as there's something new, I don't mind going back to cities we've already been to.

USMC stands for United States Marine Corps.

Carcer City is GTA's take on Detroit and if the next GTA game (or at least a future GTA game) features the city, more than likely it will feature the entire state in which both Carcer City and Liberty City reside in.

It's just like having a health heart in the kicthens of your safehouses in LCS, but instead of the health hearts, you just walk up to the refrigerator and press the triangle button, like the vendors in SA. At least it's better than getting groceries and cooking...

With or without the fat meter, I do prefer the food over the hearts, though instead of buying groceries and cooking diner at home, all you really just need to do is walk up to the frig to get some food, just like the vendors only it's free. Also, in addition to the food, what about painkillers scattered throughout the map and at hospitals instead of hearts? It would make it more in line to other R* games such as Max Payne and Manhunt. And hey what about getting some Flash from a dealer on the streets, though for a price?

I personally don't think Cluade is a mute, just a man of few words. As Maria said on Chatterbox, "He doesn't talk too much."

I agree with most of you. What's the point of playing a character that dies two years later? At least he wasn't killed at the hands of Tommy and technically Tommy did avenge his death by getting the money and the drugs back and killing the man who was responsible, albiet also killing his brother in the process.

I think it's safe to say that Claude is alive at the end of GTAIII. Not only do you continue playing him at the end of the story missions, but that shot in the end was just for comic effect. Plus, I don't think he has to talk if he comes back in GTAIV as the main character, but if he does talk, it should be used sparingly.

I say that GTAIV will be set in the present, Claude coming back as the main character (since this game is the true sequel to GTAIII, it only makes sense to be a continuation of Claude's adventures), and set in a GTA parody of the British Isles. Movies for inspiration would be Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, Layer Cake, and all the other recent British Crime movies out there.

Ramirez was the guy in Manhunt that ordered all the gangs around in a few of the cut scenes and you finally got to kill him in "Divided they Fall".

Well, the reason why I mentioned Claude is since GTAIV is said to be a true sequel to GTAIII, it does make sense that GTAIV would be a continuation of Claude's adventures.

I think we should have the side characters as main characters just for the PSP GTA games and leave the big console games for new characters or Claude.
