I cannot find a good web site for a GTA IV forum, so for those GTA fans here i'd thought i would just start a thread about it here.
Since this isn't a forum and only a thread, i'd like it if you guys could put a title on your post that says what your post is about. Titles like ideas for GTA IV, what city is GTA IV going to be based on, who would you like as main character, etc...
Now that you know what this thread is for, i will get this started.
I think GTA IV will be based on Chicago. I'm thinking Chicago because that was the home for one of the most infamous gangsters of all... Al Capone. That being said, i think that the main character should be Tommy Vercetti or a new italian/mafian (for lack of a better word). GTA IV should be about the mafia again, just new story, characters, cameo's, etc... One thing i want in GTA IV is engine upgrades for vehicles. Imagine the car you want having a bigger, badder, meaner engine.

Grand Theft Auto IV discussion
It's not who you are underneath, but what you do that defines you.
The details on Grand Theft Auto IV is pretty murky, to be honest. All I know is that GTAIV will be using the Table Tennis' engine for it's graphics. As for where GTAIV will be set, there were some rumours that it will be set somewhere in Europe though this has yet to be confirmed.
Now for some opinions regarding GTAIV. What I would like to see in the military vehicle (can't remember the name but it looks like a Humvee) is a gun turret. Imagine how convenient it would be if one person concentrates on the driving while the other mans the turrets and shoots at the enemy.
What I would also like to see is another character to fight alongside the main character (permanent partner). Improvements in the AI is really necessary, since all the people there do in the GTA series is to stupidly run at you instead of fighting in a smart manner.

The duty of every soldier is to protect the innocent, and sometimes that means preserving the lie of good and evil, that war isn't just natural selection played out on a grand scale.

Meh.... I don't care much WHERE it will take place, as long as it got a radio station like VROCK!

As long as the graphics can at least compete against Saints Row. It's a next gen system, it should be next gen graphics.
I also like the aiming system in Saints Row. I think GTA should adopt that feature.
They should keep the territory system. I liked fighting over the territories in San Andreas. The only thing that needs improvement is more difficult raids, and of coarse more raids.
I also liked the owning companies in Vice City. That was an interesting and fun feature.
Where i'd like GTA IV to be? It should have a new city, but i also think that we should be able to travel to the other cities. I know that is alot to ask for, but these are the next gen systems and i'm not going to underestimate them.

New To This
Well this is the first time i have ever left anything on a forum so i may not be as good as the rest of you so bare with me he he!!
Anyway, i have a feeling that Grand Theft Auto IV (GTA4 from now on lol) may well be based around Chicago, however they will obviously have to come up with something even bigger then San Andreas, how they are gonna do that i dunno, maybe they will tie all the recent games cities (GTA 3 onwards) together, into some sort of super huge territory. The next generation consoles will obviously be able to cope with a massive GTA. But i feel they are gonna have to come up with something special to top San Andreas.
I feel that if there is a new city then it will be called Carcer City, because if you listen in San Andreas especially to the radio it is mentioned as a destination to go visit, perhaps they were hinting as to that been the next location. We'll see soon enough won't we ha ha!!
Also i do hope that the new GTA will have graphics similar or better than Saints Row, i know that rockstar are using the RAGE engine in the new game so lets hope so. I have a 360 with Saints Row on and at first i was a little dissappointed with the game as i was comparing it to GTA, which is a little unfair as GTA is in a league of its own. However, i do enjoy Saints Row and feel that a few concepts used in it could be a big hit if used in GTA:
1.The total character customisation was brill, like in the Godfather game, i think been able to create a total unique character would be pretty cool.
2.As i'v already stated i feel that the graphics of GTA need to be upgraded quite a bit for the next gen consoles, to at least the level used in Saints Row, nothing against the old graphics of GTA they were cool, i just feel that on the next gen consoles they may just look too cartoony and take that gritty gangster edge off the game.
3.I feel the explosions on Saints Row are brilliant they look amazin with their mini shockwave and fire ball. in GTA SA i blow up that many things all the time that i would love the same sort of explosions as in Saints Row, especially like when you blow up a petrol tanker!!
4.The rag doll effect that Saints Row uses when falling, shooting and fighting is brilliant and that needs to be in GTA4 no longer do we want men running towards you guns stuck out front and when you drop them they fall starfish onto the floor befor a pool of blood spreads around them!! We want realistic rag doll falls with blood coming from the wound!
5.I also like the damage that the cars take in Saints Row the dents and bumps the cars have do look pretty realistic. One of my favourite things about the cars in Saints Row is when u fly thru the windscreen at high speeds, that is so funny and i think GTA can go somewhere with that,. i mean in GTA your cars can take so much damage its amazing, i think if u drive it off a cliff it shud explode on impact or have severe crushing on which ever part it lands.
6.Finally, this isn't anything to do with Saint Row(bet ya thinkin thank god!) i think that like in the Star Wars KOTR games where u choose wat ur character says and that effects the outcome of the situations you are in.
I mean imagine your in a situation in GTA4, you've been sent by some one to do a deal with some arms dealers or something. How cool and edgey would it be if you controlled the outcome of the deal. i mean yer you could have the old GTA way of going in and blowing everyone to kingdom come, den d other GTA way of going in an doing the deal in return for doing some missions for them.
But how about going in and negotiating the deal, you could walk out with the weapons, you might have to do missions for them or you say something wrong an you get shot at!!
I think that extra edge would be totally amazin.
Anyway thats all i have to say, sorry if i barked on for a while, its my first post an i got a bit carried away! Oh and sorry about going on about Saints Row so much, its just thats the only game i have played that can come even a fraction close to being like GTA plus it has so good aspects to it that would be brill in GTA4 and its out on next gen consoles.
So anyway plz tell me what u all think of my thoughts
Cheers

IMO sandbox-style video games tend to get old fairly quickly. I have played sooo much GTA in the past I could barely stay awake through Saints Row when I got my 360. Am I the only one with these thoughts? I will deffinately buy GTA IV on release date but I have a feeling it wont be in my 360 for very long.
