my list of must haves is the same in each GTA:
planes
parachutes
cheats
● A monster truck
● Big Rigs/HGV's/Trailers you can hook-up to, like in SA
● Bicycles & Skateboards
● Greater variety of mission types
● More buildings with fully accessible interiors
● Better check-pointing system (BoGT fixed this, mostly)
● A safehouse with a helipad
● A seaplane/Heli that can land on water, like in VC
● Heli with a winch/magnet, just to pick up cars and mess with peds
● Even more ped behaviours, people just going about their daily lives, more police/ped interaction, other peds comitting crimes etc, random events like in RDR.
● More things to do outside of missions/the main story
GTAIV was a huge game, with a truly living city. Yet it was a huge downgrade in terms of "stuff to do", replacing exciting things like jetpacks and Area 51-raids with bowling and your cousin. No more God damned dating, playdates and people calling me for darts. I mean, I guess I don't care if it's there, but there's sometimes bonuses to reaching certain "like-evels" and I'm a terrible completionist. I gave up 100%-ing GTAIV just because I hated the playdates so much.
I'm liking that GTAV looks more vibrant, which is great, because that's a large part of what I want from GTA. Hopefully vibrancy means some of that trade mark over-the-top, cartoon-ish humour makes its way back into the series. Extremely doubtful, but I like my GTA less dour than IV was.

Going back to the hood with a harrier jump-jet and just wrecking everyone's shit was the best thing. The only thing that could have made it better would be destructible buildings.
I want to see something less full of pointless grit and angst than IV, but not quite as over the top crazy as SR3.
I respect rockstar for having their own vision with what they want to do with GTA but it's pretty blatantly the wrong vision.
Also the storyline is kinda bad. I really hate the unearned pathos when you play a psycho (admittedly a likeable psycho) and he's all like "I wanted to get out, live a normal life" and then some drunk is like "kill this guy, he owes me $20" and Niko is like "sure okay" even though he already has a nice suit and a penthouse apartment.
Roman and Brucie are pretty cool though.

GTA4 did lots to make missions more fun and not obnoxious, even if they were pretty straightforward
Less of a disconnect between the storyline and the stuff you can/must do in the game.
I actually kind of like the idea of hanging out with other NPCs, but I'd much prefer it if I had to call them to set it up instead of the other way around. That way, at least, I have some control over when I go bowling and who I go bowling with.
Honestly, after playing Sleeping Dogs so much, pretty tempted to just point to it and say "that but in San Andreas"
GTA has always suffered from "you can drive anywhere and do anything but outside of random acts of violence, there's nothing to do except missions"
They should take a leaf from Just Cause 2 and have random things you can do.
I want to know more PA people on Twitter.
helicopters are stupid easy to fly, what is the problem
The camera angle mainly. It's like it has a mind of its own.

If true, then I'd really like one of the protagonists to be a woman. I admit, I haven't played that many Rockstar games, but women always seem so... peripheral in their stories.
I kind of want the opposite. Saints Row 3 was going in the right direction in terms of tone, but it lacked GTA's follow-through---the city felt dead, uninhabited, compared to a GTA city. I don't think GTA needs dildo weapons, but some more wacky fun times would be welcome. The gameplay is over the top by its very nature. It doesn't work to fight or ignore that.
Like all the woman looking like mutant raisin people.
Grand Theft Auto V: Undead Nightmare.
UN in RDR was so fantastic. Zombies in a modern GTA open world setting would be pants creamingly amazing.
That said, there definitely need to be more vehicle types, across the board. I really want a jet-ski.
I also want to see more easter eggs and rewards for exploration. IV was incredibly disappointing in that regard.
And, of course, what others have said: more building interiors, better NPC AI, more things to do (I'd love it if we could play tennis), better safehouses (another thing IV failed at - only two nice ones, and one was only available if you killed Playboy X), etc. I'd love to own property again, too.
That and muhfuggin building interiors.
I had a moment in GTAIV where I was supposed to clean out a small house full of thugs. I pull up and they start shooting at me. A cop happens to be walking by and he engages the thugs, calling for backup. More cops arrive and soon they're swarming into the house where a massive firefight is taking place.
Mission complete. Never even got out of the car.
I don't think that's happening. The screenshots and trailers they've shown have primarily featured two guys.

and this dude
I think they might be too much.
