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?

USMC stands for United States Marine Corps.

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.

Well, I believe VCS will be set in the 70's, so I think the music would be more in line to the music featured in San Andreas' K-DST.

Yeah I've had that idea before. The way I would see it is like lets say we have six regions: 1. The GTA state in which Liberty City and Carcer City reside. 2. The chain of islands off the coast of Florida that Vice City is a part of. 3. An expansion of San Andreas 4. An expansion of whatever GTAVI will be (which I think is a parody of the British Isles) 5. And let's say a GTA parody of Japan 6. GTA parody of Italy With this, from any region, you just take a plane and fly to a certain distance until the screen changes to a menu that asks what region would you like to go next. This would also work with boats, though with a few limitations, of course. This dream GTA game I have also has a potential for a smuggler's run type side mission, since each region would contain a border to another country with along a foreign city. Region 1 would have Canada (Toronto) Region 2 Cuba (Havana) Region 3 Mexico (Mexico City) 4 France (Paris) 5 China (Hong Kong) 6 Can't think of anything right now. Maybe Spain, Southern France, or even Germany. Man, what a game this would be!

I actually remember reading about that several years ago in a speculative article on what the could be cool to see in the next GTA game after Vice City. It was a really cool read and it had several other ideas that I wouldn't mind seeing in a future GTA game.

I must say that while it was mostly for fun, that article had some very interesting ideas that I wouldn't mind seeing in a real GTA game
