I recently finished the story mode of GTAV. I know that GTAV isn't a superhero game, but it has one of the best done cities in a video game I've ever seen. I'd like to start a discussion on what elements of GTAV, if any, you would you like to see in City of TItans. Here are a few things I'm intrigued by:

1. Variable start location. Instead of starting exactly where you left off, you would start somewhere that illustrates something about your character. It's more like your character was doing something, and then you started playing. Here are some ideas:
a) Playing golf in secret identity
b) Just leaving work in secret identity
c) Waking up in bed at base
d) Working on some gizmo at base
e) Training at base
f) Talking with NPC heroes at the hero hub
g) Maybe even in the middle of a bank robbery-either side depending on your alignment. Nothing too hard, just something to get the twitchy fingers working.
h) Signing autographs
I know in some games that leave you exactly where you were I've exploited that for extra loot. This will cut down on that some.

2. Personal space. NPC's don't like you getting in their face and will react in a number of ways.

3. Weirdos. Just weird people around the city you can talk to. Similar to my people watching idea.

4. Minigames. Although I know we couldn't possibly have as many minigames as GTAV, it could be fun to see some done. It would also justify things like golf courses. In an old style MMO a golf course would have to have enemies on it that are waiting to be killed. In a newer style you could have a monster that would rampage across the greens, but it would have to do so every 5 minutes to justify the space. If that area is also a minigame area then you justify the space occupied by such a large structure. As an extension of this, you could also interact with things that aren't strictly even minigames. You could look out a telescope across the city for example.

5. Hookers. OK just kidding :P...sort of...devs? no? OK, fine. I'll drop it. Sheesh. Strippers? ACK! PUT IT DOWN!

6. Radio stations. Could explain why there is always music in the game :P. Seriously though, it could be fun to think about. GTAV also has police scanners that let hear what the cops are saying. That could be a fun way to find out about events- or that you have been discovered, and heroes are on their way.

7. Rural areas. I think it would be interesting if City of Titans wasn't strictly confined to to high density sky scrappers. Some forest or at least suburban areas could be interesting. It could also allow for the players to get attacked by random mountain lions or bears without going to the zoo.
