E3 is two months away and I wouldn't be surprised if GTA V is one of titles to be announced during the show. The time for a new game in the series just seems right to me.
Now GTA IV was pretty impressive in the way it portrayed the big city, so it actually felt like a real living city. With RDR they it took a steep further with the random happenings around you and the whole inclusion of wild animals.
So what I want to see in the next installment is the following:
1. A bigger map. I enjoyed the size of the world in San Andreas, even though some people found it too big, I personally enjoyed the different environments, which brings me to point number two.
2. More variation in the environments. While I did enjoy the city in GTA IV, that was all you got! You didn't have any forrests or desserts, which would have been nice, since the skyscrapers and grey industrial areas started to look the same after a while.
3. Wild animals. After RDR I think it would be cool if there was wild animals in the next GTA game. Imagine walking in the forrest when all of a sudden a big fuckin' grizzly bear attacks you. It would also help to create a bigger contrast between the city areas and the wild nature areas.
4. A goddamn Ipod, Iphone or just a regurlar old MP3 player. The GTA games have amazing soundtracks and I hate when I have to get out of the car, when some awesome song is on and as soon as get out I can't hear the song no more. What the hell is that? I want to have the option to listen to music when I ain't driving a vehicle or flying a motherfuckin' chopper.
5. BRING BACK AIRPLANES! The choppers are fine, but I missed the airplanes from SA. They are much easier to control and you can do barrel rolls in them! I rest my case.
6. More urban legends. I'm a sucker for urban legends and I loved all the stuff in that has been in the previous games and I want more. I'm talking ufo sightings, haunted houses and alligators in the sewers. Maybe even a big scary sea-monster?

Now to the negative. As much as I liked GTA IV and previous installments, there is a couple of things I don't want to see again:
1: No more real life simulations. It quickly became annoying constantly getting calls from friends in GTA IV, I get enough calls to begin anyway, so I don't need that part of my life invading my videogames. Taking fictional friends out for a fictional breakfast... eh not that much fun really. WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED THAT!?
2 Territorial fights = a big NONO. This really annoyed me in SA, you won a territory and ten seconds after another one got attacked. In the end I just ignored them.

So that's what I have to say about that. But what about you? What do you want to see in the next GTA and what do you want to just fuck of?
