http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/09/07/grand-theft-auto-v-your-questions-answered Transcribed Excerpt from around 14:00 from the video above: DB #1: Yeah, so, hidden packages have effectively been dispensed with in favor of, they're kind of like side missions, aren't they. So we were driving along and over the radio, uhh, a news bulletin announces that a homicide that happened 30 years ago is being re-investigated. Now it turns out that you can then be part of that investigation, and solve it, and get cool stuff as a result. [...] The way it's integrated into it is that it's not so obvious like you turn a corner and there's a hidden statue to collect or a pigeon to shoot. The hidden packages are location-based hints to collect something which may or may not be a full blown side mission that these classically trained journalists have mis-interpreted or rockstar over-pitched. I think this can't be all since many people will turn off the radio or use custom sound tracks if they are supported, and I'm guessing it will light up a circle around where the location is so that most people can figure it out; very little is left to chance with modern collectibles. Now for the big question: What's the reward? Just cash? We don't need replacement weapons anymore. Unlockables? What "cool stuff as a result" do you want? Dream Big.
