4. Radio/Music
The soundtracks of GTA games are always amazing. Too many times in San Andreas I ended up staying in my car just to listen to the end of a great song or to the hilarious chat shows or news broadcasts. If youre the type of gamer who likes wandering around the map looking for all the secrets, it can get a bit strange when youre on foot for so long in an empty part of the map with practically no sounds to hear. It would be nice to have the option to listen to some music whilst youre doing this, so including radio stations on the actual phone would be great. You could listen to music just walking down the street as well, which could create the possibility of unique NPC interaction. Maybe if youre listening to some rock music a biker walking past would complement you, or if youre listening to hip-hop some old lady would shout at you to turn the music down.
3. Internet
The tw@ internet cafes in GTA IV did provide some funny content and little easter-egg style references; much like the TV did in your apartments. But how many people actually went to the cafes and read through all of the websites, or sat at their TV to watch Republican Space Rangers apart from the hardcore fans? They were brilliantly written extras but required a lot of effort to really enjoy, especially when they involve you simply watching your screen when you could be running around actually playing the game.Seeing as all smartphones now have internet access and video capabilities, it makes sense to include the features of the TV and internet cafes on the phone. This will make it easier for gamers to dip in and out of the content during general gameplay, rather than having to drive to a specific area to view it.
