Look, this game could be GTA: SA in HD and that alone would make it sell a couple million copies. The GTA gaming experience is changed more drastically between iterations than any other game series I can think of, and especially more than any Nintendo franchise. How can GTA's well be dry when Mario and Zelda have been dipping the same water from the same well for going on decades now? If Miyamoto can keep reinventing the wheel to everyone's surprise and amazement, where does anything come off thinking that R* has already hit some ceiling in their own genre?
Time for a change
Mario had one platformer out on the Gamecube and it wasn't the new fresh faced idea that we experienced with Mario 64. The same is often said about Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.
I like GTA, but there's no denying that with every new sequel to GTA 3 the new iteration's running legs were cut down drastically. Better graphics isn't going to make holding the X button to run from the police any more fun and the projected sales figures of the series were never in question.
Full 2 player co-op -- now there's an idea that gets me excited again.

But yeah, after jumping around the city in Crackdown GTA4 had better have something as fun to compare. I'm not really too worried about it, though.

My favorite part of GTA4 will be the media sensationalism around it come Q4. With the 2008 elections coming, expect politicians to get some easy soccer-mom points by speaking out against the game. Oh, and good 'ol JT will be sure to say something insane.
Rockstar should just go nuts with this. I want to be able to run the soccer moms off the road and then run the damn team over. Speaking of which, they need to put in children running around the game. That would piss people off, running little kids over playing ball in the park. Why stop at running over pimps and hos? Put the kids in!
