Hey guys, if you have got a minute, we would love your input on two things

,
- Which characters have you found to be the most entertaining in other similar sandbox style shoot+drives? Do you guys enjoy, for example, the tongue in cheek approach of Grand Theft Auto 3 or the more gritty approach of LA. Noir, etc? Do you like the balance of characters types in games like Saints Row? Which were the most memorable characters from these games and why?
- Which are the most entertaining 'areas' to explore in sandbox drive+shoot games? As you have seen, we have been mocking up canyon, dockyard, city, etc type areas, but would you like to, for example, explore a nasa-type space station? Or would you like to explore more airport, army bases, etc? One of the cool things about San Andreas was the wilderness in the bottom left of the map, did you enjoy this mix of city and landscape? Or would you prefer city-only environment, like in the original Car Jack Streets?
Finally, this might look like a bad thing (but if you know a little bit about game's development, you'll know this is a very good thing because it means a lot of the work is out of the way) here is one of our designer's reference walls which they put up yesterday:
(of course, I had to edit the picture a lot so that we don't give too much away!
