Never even been to that part of the world - I just think the 'which american city should we model the game on next' is going to have diminishing returns as the games start to overlap more and more. At some point its going to get stale - either because they repeat locations or because they struggle to establish an identity for GTA:Wilmington that really distinguishes it from GTA:Baltimore.Death Dealer said:

It's my favorite GTA, but especially with the Episodes. They add such cool layers to the story, very Pulp Fiction. I really like all three protagonists too. And the GTA IV Liberty City is so so detailed and incredibly well designed. I'm still playing through the base game and TBoGT (finished TLaD) and it's amazing how I'm still finding new things. It's a bit hard to go back and play the older games but especially III.
But yes RDR is the best of any of their open-world adventure games, I expect the next GTA to one up even that.

WHY WHY WHY??? It was already done? WHY DO PEOPLE WANT R* TO WASTE TIME TO RECREATE THE SAME CITY INSTEAD OF A GOING TO A NEW CITY?Topher said:

That would be pretty sweet. You got the ghettos, the projects, downtown Chicago, nicer upscale housing/apartment sections, Lakeshore Dr. and the beach, museums, DePaul and University of Chicago. Maybe it could somehow be about a student, possibly a mix of Bully and GTA. They could even include the northwest suburbs or something too kinda like how San Andreas had the countryside.claviertekky said:
Why are you assuming the atmosphere and tone would be overtly similar to a game released last gen? I agree, vice city was the most boring. But it was the personality of the game that made it unique.deejay8595 said:
A re-imagining could possibly be something unlike we have experienced before. A new generation of hardware brings with it new possibilities.
yeah i think like most people im getting rather bored of the American cities in GTA.... i would love to see something like Tokyo or london, LA is just soooooo flat and boring.
right now my ideal rockstar game would be set in london in the late 1800s during the industrial revolution and the likes of Jack the ripper etc.

So were all the places in San Andreas. There are tons of references to all the cities in GTA IV they even mention London and Paris. There is a Vice City Radio station in the episodes separate release though.
Where ever the next is set, whether a new city or old, it's going to feel like a new city. Comparing Liberty City IV to III is ridiculous because of how different they are (calling IV lifeless is laughable, III has nothing in it in comparison and it looks so bland now). IV really isn't even that close to the real NYC anyway. It kind of gets well known parts right, but it takes tons of liberties everywhere else.
The only thing that really sucks about the base GTA IV is it's replay system. It can be a real pain in the ass to redo a mission, no matter how cool it is, with all the travel (Three Leaf Clover I'm looking at you). Thankfully it improved in the Episodes and was perfected in RDR.

The city itself was great. I loved the driving physics. But the missions (usually only one way to do things, not emergent like past GTAs) and the plot (by the time it got to the last Island) sucked in comparison.VistraNorrez said:

If those character descriptions are in the actual game, then it's obvious that GTA V is set in modern-day LA. But as far as making my own GTA, I'll give it a shot:
Location (primary): Boston, Massachusetts
Time period: late 70s
Song used in trailer/commercial: "Dirty Water" - The Standells
You start as an Irish-American, whose a HS senior in South Boston. While you're good student (particularly in chemistry), you hangout with some of the "wrong crowd" and commit petty crimes here and there- eventually get a bit involved with the Irish mob. This part of the game would mostly take place in Southie and perhaps in Roxbury as well. Racial tensions between Irish (Southie) and African Americans (Roxbury) would be a theme- perhaps your character secretly becomes a friend of some dude in Roxbury, who helps you out later in the game.
Next, you get accepted into Harvard, and this causes a riff between you and a lot your friends, as they you're trying to appear better than them. This part of the game would take place in Cambridge, and could heavily satirize preppy Ivy Leaguers and have some MIT jokes as well. I guess Rockstar could use similar elements from "Bully" here, but eventually, you start hanging out with your Southie friends and expand crime activity throughout the city. Some "friends" will try to betray you, and you'll have to pick if they live or die at some points in the game.
In Boston, you have landmarks such as Fenway Park, Faneuil Hall, Prudential Building, USS Constitution and some other ethnic/economic neighborhoods: Chinatown, North End (Italian), Brookline (more suburban and wealthy). Though one difficult thing (as with all open-world games), is setting boundaries. For Boston, to the east, there's the ocean, but north, south, and west pose some issues. I'd extend the water to wrap around to the north and south (forming a larger peninsula) and just have a few blocked/gated off roads at the western border. Mountains blocking off areas wouldn't make much sense for Boston.
Towards end of the game, you're well involved in the Irish mob and get introduced to members of the IRA. You, being well-educated and trained in chemicals, travel (perhaps a bit reluctantly) to Ireland and begin making bombs in safe-houses in the countryside/Dublin. And the big decision of the game comes when you have to deliver and detonate a bomb in Belfast or London. The ramifications are, at the end of game: if you don't, your mobster friends find you and kill you; and if you do, you either eventually get caught by the FBI in Boston or a MI5 agent finds you and kills you. A recurring theme of the game would be: once your involved in a life of crime, you're dead no matter what.
Personally, with the above ending section, I do not think a game like this would ever get made. It'd involve some extremely sensitive issues that parallel actual history too directly for many people. However, I do think it'd make the game much more interesting/powerful , but it'd probably get banned in Ireland and the UK- and even many members of the US Congress would be opposed to its release.

Hrm, fishy. I mean, Rockstar notoriously keeps a tight lip about GTA and I'd imagine if they were to fly about LA they wouldn't hop in a helicopter and say "Sup? We all work on the GTA team. Did you get that? THE GTA TEAM. Don't remember that."

I still like setting it in modern day Los Santos and playing as a dirty cop (think Training Day or the Shield). And yeah, they've done that before, but they can fully expand on the city. Liberty in 4 didn't look like the Liberty in GTA3.

I would say that the UK is probably the second most known country there is. I'd say that Britain is, outside of the US, the most viable place for a GTA to be set, in terms of how well known this country's culture and pecularities are to people around the world. And obviously, if you do the UK, you're doing London. But even London I'm not sure about how well it would work. Plus I guess I'm biased against it, because I live in this city and I want my GTA to be in somewhere far away and new.
To everyone saying "Chicago", "Vancouver", etc., none of those places are ever going to happen. Nobody outside of North America knows anything about those places. As much as I'd love Tokyo, nobody in the general population of the world really knows anything about it. Not to mention the language barrier and complete lack of recognisable mainstream modern cultural icons.
To summarise: It has to be in the US, and within the US, it has to be New York, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Las Vegas. And it is already those, so I don't think it's going to be changed.

I'd be down for something set in the UK. Maybe Rockstar was avoiding it because they expected that to be Getaway territory, but Sony obviously hasn't moved ahead with that franchise.

Hollywood is super underwhelming, but it's GTA, I'll still be there day one. I loved GTAIV, but I hope they take close look at RDR's success since it, in a lot ways, refined what worked with GTAIV. All the emergent events like horse robbers and shit made the world feel interesting and active long after the campaign is over. I look forward to more Euphoria, though, I love that shit.
Just hopin there will be a PC version at release. The GTAIV port was rough, but I'm still getting 2X the FPS and resolution with it compared to the PS3 version which is a definite upgrade.
