6. A Bigger Focus On Stealth?

Although much of the trailer footage is dominated by flying cars, huge explosions and bombastic shootouts, one of the most intriguing parts of it was the presence of Splinter Cell-esque sneaking suits and stealth gameplay.

Kitting characters out in getups straight out of Sam Fisher's closet, the trailer highlighted the new gadgets and weapons that'll allow players to sneak their way around missions undetected, no doubt to drive home the heist's espionage-driven story.

For as good as they were, previous set ups lacked variety, and the inclusion of these new items could actually facilitate a completely different style of play and, most importantly, result in more enjoyable mission types.

Also, look at how ridiculous that silenced magnum looks in the above image. Even when GTA does stealth, it still has to be the most over-the-top thing ever.
