GTA isn't about realism! It's about 'splosions and titties.

My dream game is a realistic sandbox game. Although, with this new format, the days of putting the disk in the tray just to run around on a murderous rampage and kill hundreds (or even thousands) of NPC pedestrians may be coming to an end. Perhaps not. The location-specific damage system make make things more interesting.

Sigged for pure awesomeness.
I like what I'm seeing in the demos. Difficulty was never a problem for me in games; the frustration is the fun part sometimes.

None of those are bad ideas by themselves but frankly they seem like they might not go hand-in-hand so well, except to frustrate the shit out of the player. Look at that second one. I can see that being a major headache. Also, why should being robbed be included? Aren't you the crook?
The thing is, with additions like these, you generally have to tweak the difficulty level back a bit so that it's not immensely irritating to play. If the game is harder, requires you to be precise and inserts a genuinely punitive measure such as the severing of contact with bosses, well, that's not a great combination. This is especially true of a game where one move can sometimes mean the difference between a successful mission and a miserable failure.
Oddly, I was really excited after that Kotaku post, but now I'm kind of hoping some of the items on that list are speculation.

Yeah, I know what you mean. The first time I shot the boss instead of his lacky in Fallout, I learned how much it sucks to have the boss hacked off at you... Luckily in Fallout you could save like crazy... However from what I understand GTAIV won't have very many save points.

They're reportedly tweaking the autosave system to be a bit more forgivable.
