I think it would be a nice idea if they included wildlife in the forests. It would also be nice if you could buy yourself a dog or other domestic pet which can be used to attack foes. There was a game on the PSP that had a dog to attack enemies (I've forgotten the name though ).

I'm sure the Bigfoot search teams would be able to start up again if bears were to be seen lurking in the woods.

That would most likely lead to some sort of hunting mini-game.
Maybe a new R3 mission...
Creeping through the jungle, stalking your prey, then after you kill them you can mount them on a wall in one of your safe houses

Oh so you're expecting there to be a jungle in this GTA then? Well in that case I want Giraffes, Elephants and Rhinos just roaming free. Imagine one of them rampaging through the inner city!

Imagine being able to ride one of them through the inner city
'Gang way... Giraffe coming through!!'

Depends if they keep it to one country. What if the city you eventually unlock is in another country? Then you might have rhinos in Africa, rattlesnakes in the USA and deadly sparrows in England

Or Snakes in Ireland!!
All of saint Patricks good, hard work... RUINED!!
All because of GTA

What did Saint Patrick actually do? I didn't think anyone knew?

The legend goes that he drove all of the snakes out of Ireland single handedly, thats why theres none here now. but in fact, theres no snakes because of the tempreature and there never was, what he did was spread christianity around Ireland

This might be a new feature but this might attract more media attention.

Ohh yeah, I was collecting Oysters last night in San Andreas. I went in to get the Easter Basin ones, and needless to say, got a 5 star wanted level. I got the 3 oysters while being chased by loads of boats and choppers, then I realised something, I was being chased by a media chopper! I had 5 stars, and when I looked up there was a police shopper shooting at me and another one there too... a media one! I knew it was a news chopper because it was blue and silver and had SFN (San Firro News) on the bottom. Pretty cool eh?

This would be a nice addition to the next game, in addition to the sky and sea animals. The SA forests were so lifeless, and animals of some sort would give them life for sure.

That was one of the only things San Andreas was missing. There were gangs in the cities, among other things that could harm you, like renegade cars/trucks.
But as soon as we went into the countryside, the only danger was blowing your car up, and lets face it, that didn't happen much.
There are bears and other wildlife in next-gen games like Oblivion, so I don't see why they won't be in GTA IV...

I am into adventuring, when San Andreas first came out there were loads of rumors about aliens and other creatures in the forests and I went to the forest to search for them, and nothing. The forest is just too boring in San Andreas, there needs to be more life to it, something added so it is actually worth going down there. Bears would make a great addition, and other forest animals such as deer maybe, or foxes. Deer hunting could be fun.

It'd be pretty interesting to see different kinds of birds to shoot down, haha.

Like Seagulls, and Vultures in the Deserts and such. That'd be awesome to go on a bird killing spree.
