GTA V: Ultimate Wishlist

If you're reading this, then you're likely a fan of the Grand Theft Auto series of video games - perhaps you've played one or two, or maybe you've played them all, but let's be honest, by now you're ready for GTA V. With every new GTA game there is a wave of anticipation leading up to its release, bringing with it the tidal debris of rumour, speculation, crystal ball prediction, and fervent demand and for ever loyal GTA fan, the thought of the next chapter elicits wild fantasies about what original and exciting features the game will bring. Who can forget the thrill of learning that GTA Vice City would bring aircraft that are actually intended to be flown, rather than precariously glided on the winds of good fortune like the Dodo in GTA III? This was followed immediately by the disappointing discovery that you couldn't get to the top of the tallest buildings (or to that ghostly airship circling silently above the city). Right away, gamers wanted the ability to fly higher - to soar above the city - as a feature in the next GTA. And that's just the nature of fandom. When we found out that C.J. would have the ability to swim, rather than immediately drown when touched by water, we rejoiced. As a perimeter €œdefense", it made sense to keep us on land so we wouldn't go swimming off into oblivion, beyond the point at which the designers had laid anything down (or, as the Dodo showed us, to parts they didn't want you to see). But until GTA San Andreas, water was downright treacherous - it may as well have been molten lava or hydrochloric acid. One wish that I was finally granted in GTA IV was the removal of the €œexploding flipped car". I couldn't stand having a perfectly good car catch on fire and blow to pieces whenever it rolled over, when all it needed was a hefty nudge from another vehicle to right it back onto its tires. It might have been a small detail, but it was one I remember noticing other people appreciated as well. So, with that said, I've put together a list of my top 20 hopes and desires for this GTA V Ultimate Wishlist. Some of these have been floating around as rumours since the game was announced, and a few that I mention are included in more €œlegitimate source€ leaked info that you can find out there in the ether. Sometimes the rumours are a bit much: I€™ve read somewhere that every single building in the game is able to be entered, and that every room has been rendered in every building, and frankly, that€™s just ridiculous, and not possible on any kind of machine any of us have in our homes. But in a culture of marketing silence, the most persistent rumours are often those that appear the most ridiculous. These are the things I€™d like to see that I would imagine Rockstar being able to do. So, without further ado, let's get started - click next to get reveal the first wishlist point...
