    This would facilitate the need to change clothes now and again, meaning you won't go through the game dressed in only one set of clothes.

    Interesting...I really like this idea.

    They had laudromats in IV, I think you could just rob them, but maybe you could use those to remove blood stains, dirt, etc from your clothes. Kind of like the car wash in IV... doesn't really add much to the game but they're there, might as well give them a purpose.

    I like the idea of buying vehicles, although I do spot a few flaws in being able to do so. For one, as you pointed out, why spend money on something you can easily get for free by stealing a car and garaging it. Another problem is how easy it is to wreck a car in GTA. Why throw down 100K on a car just to accidentally flip it over in 30 seconds? So, I would propose that the cars you purchase automatically spawn at one of your safe houses, a la the Infernus in front of the Vercetti Estate in Vice City. Maybe that takes away from the realism, but it would make buying a vehicle actually serve a point.

    Speedometer is a fantastic idea, I think there should be odometer's too. Maybe fuel gauges, temperature gauges (inside and outside), warning lights to tell you you haven't got your seatbelt on, warning lights and bleeping sounds to tell you your door isn't shut properly, interior light switch, heated seats, heated steering wheel and you should be able to open and shut the air vents.

    You forgot engine status lights, so you know when to get the oil changed... 3 months goes by fast in GTA time.

    As far as finding missions, they could use it as an expansion to the "stranger" missions they had in IV. Seems GTA has always made it pretty clear where the main story missions are on the map, but I did like how the side missions only showed up when you were in the vicinity. GTAV could potentially only show certain missions when you enter the house/building where they take place. That would at least give us a reason to explore a little.

    Maybe off topic, but another thing that was missing from houses in general in IV was interaction with the outside world. For example, Vice City had roof access in the Vercetti estates, something like that would be cool in V. Or maybe the ability to interact with the outdoors from a window or something.

    Exactly. There's no indication at all that you can fly planes. There were planes in the sky in IV and you couldn't fly them. I don't get why people think seeing a plane automatically means you can fly it. Now, we might end up being able to fly planes, but that doesn't change the fact that as of right now, there is zero evidence that the planes are flyable. Hell, it might even end up that R* found a way to make it work and all of SA is in the game, but it's still highly unlikely.

    True there is no evidence that planes are flyable, but I don't think R* would go out of their way to put that many shots of planes flying in the trailer if they weren't. They know that it's something a lot of people wanted back, I don't think they would lead everyone to think they we could fly them just to disappoint.

    Base Ubuntu really comes with most of the useful applications built in. VLC is pretty good, I would check out XBMC though, very cool UI for a media center. Other than that, I would say learn your way around the terminal, probably the most useful application on Linux when you know how to use it. I don't know if you're into programming at all, but Linux is especially convenient for installing compilers. Much less of a pain in the ass then it is in Windows.

    Sounds like someone who wants attention. Unless he's a complete idiot he wouldn't be sharing information under an NDA with Rockstar. If he's really in a position to know information, he would know that a proxy server only protects his identity from reverse IP lookup. If Rockstar felt the need to investigate (which they would if this was legit information protected under an NDA) they could easily identify him from records kept by said web proxy.

    Also, I seriously doubt they would take a step backwards towards making the game less realistic. They've clearly established a direction for the franchise, I think it would be a mistake to go against that.
