OMG! You can ride bikes! That adds so much more!
I don't know. I think there's probably going to be more new stuff than what Crash seems to think, but I don't think that new stuff is going to be quite as neat as you guys are thinking.
Why would you want to ride a bicycle? I mean, it adds somewhat more realism, I guess, but why take a pedal bike when you can take a motorcycle?
Burglarizing homes sounds cool, but only if you actually get to break in and ransack the dressers and stuff. You know, stake out the house and check when the people who live there are gone and such.
Eating and excercising just sounds tedious. I don't want to have to stop beating some old lady just because my guy's energy bar is low. Having to take a break and eat a burger is stupid.
And come on, I bet most of the people who are going to play this game are in desperate need of excercising themselves. Do they do it? No. How can video game developers possibly think the majority of people are going to respond well to being forced to virtually excercise?
However, the the different cities (and having countryside in between each) is interesting. A lot of road to have a high speed chase... Although they'd have to be careful about how much land is in between each city. Too much, and it'll get boring travelling between cities. Too little, and you might as well not have it at all.
Oh well. I'm probably not going to play it anyway; not for any long periods of time. I might check it out, but I've gotten bored with the two previous GTA games pretty quickly.
