[Dash Kappei]

They were probably just looking around for some Hollywood writers for GTA 5

:lol :lol first post

[MotorbreathX]

GTA: Honolulu

[GavinGT]

GTA: Detroit. It'd be like GTA meets Fallout 3.

[toastyToast]

Set it in 70s Vegas

Make it like the movie Casino where you can either become more like Nicky or Sam. So either you can become an enterprising enforcer that becomes increasingly notorious or you can concern yourself with moving up the business ladder with you ultimately moving above the street so to speak. This would take away from the game play since you'd be running and shooting a lot less if you became more business centric but I'd like them attempt to make it engaging. Have a mini game where you have to decide how many blueberries go in each muffin for example.

[Rhindle]

This may be hard for some in the gaming press to grasp, but Rockstar does publish more games than just GTA. And one of those upcoming games happens to be set in Hollywood.

[Dead Man]

So a smaller scale of what was in San Andreas?

Indeed.

[Jtrizzy]

Go back to VIce City in the 80's please.

[pakkit]

I was really hoping GTA was going to get out of America.

[Big Ass Ramp]

GTA: Detroit. It'd be like GTA meets Fallout 3.

:lol



:(

[Tim the Wiz]

Why not go to europe? London, Paris, Berlin. They would all be great (London would be best!)

America is too easy to satirize.

[Rez]

could be really cool. I was hoping for London, though.

I've only just started Gay Tony, but I'm really digging the story so far.

L&D started off good but went off into shit-creek once Billy was out of the picture half-way through, before the story ended with the biggest wimper ever. The story had nothing even close to a decent arc or worthwhile payoff. The parts of the city I explored felt totally... well, no, they were good areas, but the way missions had me exploring them were just awful, whereas already BoGT has me seeing heaps of cool areas from interesting angles.

I really like a lot of the character interactions in BoGT so far. I really hope it pays off.

[Gahiggidy]

GTA: Mexico City

[Cesar]

So, what team is working on Agent now?

?

[Cindres]

I think South Africa could probably work pretty good too. But ultimately i just want to go back to the 80s this time.

[saladine1]

I vote for Futuristic/dystopia/Fifth Element style GTA5 with Ruby Rhod as the main antagonist.

Listen to this man!

That sounds awesome, plus you could do missions in the desert which should keep the people who want to drive through wilderness in Buggies and ATV happy (like me)

?

was it ever r* north?

[Don]

was it ever r* north?

Yes.

"Agent is a game we have wanted to make for a long time. The team in Edinburgh is doing an amazing job combining intense action, atmosphere, and story in a great period setting to create something that feels quite unique. We cannot wait for people to experience this game."

http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6211640.html

"We think this has the potential to be yet another great Rockstar North franchise title. ... It's the Houser Brothers and Rockstar North. It's the A team working on an AAA title. I think the subject matter, the characters, the story, the environment, the background--all the elements are there. It's such a rich environment to play in."

[Foliorum Viridum]

L&D started off good but went off into shit-creek once Billy was out of the picture half-way through, before the story ended with the biggest wimper ever. off.

Really? I thought the prison invasion was pretty awesome, personally.

[Rez]

Really? I thought the prison invasion was pretty awesome, personally.

I don't think the idea was necessarily bad, I just found the whole thing a bit farfetched, I guess. If that bit of the mission followed a series of Lost related missions, it could have been cool, but all the Ashley/Ray/Elizabeth and other late game missions were just so... pointless, I guess. The story just didn't go anywhere.

I wanted to like Klebitz, but in the end he didn't really do anything particularly endearing or conclusive, you know? He just kind of... existed and then didn't.

It's hard to articulate. It felt like a story that had its beginning written with no consideration for where it was actually going to end. The characters seemed written based on an interesting premises rather than interesting arcs, with the exception of Billy. Maybe that was the point?

But, that being said, its story was still, in many ways, more interesting than a whole lot of other current gen titles.

[nolookjones]

Really? I thought the prison invasion was pretty awesome, personally.

ya this was much better DLC than gay tony IMO...

[Tmac]

One of best features of San Andreas was the map variation. Europe whould be a great setting, big cities, narrow streets, damm pretty countryside, mafia, venice (boats), small towns... Lots of potential, hope R* dont take the safe way and just do more of the same.

[UrbanRats]

It's the A team working on an AAA title

Implying R* North is the A Team.
R* San Diego and R* Vancouver did better, so far.

[Neuromancer]

Implying R* North is the A Team. R* San Diego and R* Vancouver did better, so far.

I would agree with this. RDR + Bully + Table Tennis (:D)> GTA IV

[Hey You]

ya this was much better DLC than gay tony IMO...

Really?

Gay Tony offered way more content and missions than TLaD. I

[MWS Natural]

Care to explain or this is one of those hit and run posts?

I think his statement is pretty self-explanatory. It's basically like saying the main character has to be white so "everyone" can relate to it. Everyone that buys GTA doesn't live in America the same way everyone that buys GTA isn't white.

Brazil!

One more vote for Brazil!!! Beautiful women, gorgeous vistas contrasted with dirty slums and dangerous back alley way dealings. It would be like GTA: City of God. They start with your childhood as you just try to survive the slums of Sao Paulo all the way to your adulthood when you make it big living in the high rises of Rio dealing with the problems that money brings.

Pacific Northwest. Seattle/Vancouver set in the mid 90's

Not true! He beat up and scared the shit (literally!) out of Roman, which endeared him to me. Best part of the GTA4 experience.

[Grayman]

Pacific Northwest. Seattle/Vancouver set in the mid 90's

Living in the lower mainland being around for the 90s I would find that awesome.

[randrews]

If rumours are to be believed, the game will be set in LA.

[The Lamonster]

If rumours are to be believed, the game will be set in LA.

Wouldn't it be called San Andreas?

[bluedeviltron]

I want to believe this rumor more than anything.

Rockstar can do so much more with that dump of a city.

[StuBurns]

Wouldn't it be called San Andreas?

Los Santos you mean?

[Neuromancer]

I'm already annoyed by the characters.

(I'm guessing this was the tip off: http://www.theagencyonline.com/news....472&title=Rush)

[Houston3000]

I like the Vegas idea

Obviously fictionalized and exaggerated though (like Vice City is to Miami or Liberty City is to New York)

[The Lamonster]

Los Santos you mean?

Yes, thanks. It's been a while!

[randrews]

I'm already annoyed by the characters. (I'm guessing this was the tip off: http://www.theagencyonline.com/news....472&title=Rush)

Bingo. There was another site, but lacked the details of theagencyonline.com. There's some Max Payne 3 info out there too, if you guys are willing to look for it.

[Graphics Horse]

That's a lot of FBI agents, Main character part of the FBI? Or is that straying too close to LA Noir?

Wouldn't it be called San Andreas?

Or Los Santos, depending on the scope. San Andreas was just San Francisco in the first one.

[AllIsOneIsNone]

hong kong all the way

[lupinko]

Pacific Northwest. Seattle/Vancouver set in the mid 90's

Complete with '94 Canucks riot!

[Jay Sosa]

As much as I love GTA: VC and VCS I don't feel like running around in Miami yet again. Also really don't like the idea of it being set in Europe or especially the distant past or future (more than 60 years).

[randrews]

Wouldn't it be called San Andreas?

My hope of hopes is that it's San Andreas Stories for the 3DS, but I doubt we'll be seeing that.

[Dennis]

I would be fine with LA just as long as their are rural areas and not the one city

[The Lamonster]

Or Los Santos, depending on the scope. San Andreas was just San Francisco in the first one.

San Andreas = California
Los Santos = Los Angeles
San Fierro = San Francisco
Las Venturas = Las Vegas

[Neuromancer]

That's a lot of FBI agents, Main character part of the FBI? Or is that straying too close to LA Noir?

FBI is the go-to federal agency for all lazy TV shows, movies and games. Meanwhile DHS, DEA, ATF, and the Secret Service are extremely underused.

[Graphics Horse]

San Andreas = California Los Santos = Los Angeles San Fierro = San Francisco Las Venturas = Las Vegas

GTA1

[Dennis]

As much fun as it would be, I rather that it is almost certain that it will be centered around a major american city and not something more exotic. Everything else is too far from what the main narrative of the games are: satire of life/crime in america.

[GreatSage]

San Andreas = California Los Santos = Los Angeles San Fierro = San Francisco Las Venturas = Las Vegas

San Andreas also includes Nevada.


I predict 75 per cent of the next 100 posts in this thread will involve people blurting out random locations on the planet, including some past GTA cities.

[The Lamonster]

San Andreas also includes Nevada.

Damn, good call!

[StuBurns]

GTA1

GTA1 is Liberty City, NY, San Andreas, California, and Vice City, Miami.

EDIT: The FBI thing is odd, even internal stuff I'd think was labeled FIB still.
