*end dream
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:Are you from Dubai or something ? I can't think of a much worse location for a GTA game.
It's like the guy in the other thread saying the next GTA should be in Cleveland. Dreams are nice, but get real.

What hints? I remember vice city being name dropped in IV, but perhaps that was just a wink wink nudge nudge.Buckethead said:With all the "hints" they dropped in Gay Tony, I really doubt that it's going to be in Vice City.
Seemed like a red herring.
I'd say the Hollywood/LA thing has the most merit, but still not much.
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:Return to vice city please!

I would love for Rockstar to make a futuristic GTA.PantherLotus said:Why not something 5-10 years in the future?
UPDATE!
I've been informed that on Fridays that Ceili's turns into a full on Club Zone. As I'm not really into seal hunting, I've changed the venue to Doolin's instead as to avoid young people, whose tight bodies will be the envy of all.
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 doesn't Rockstar set it in Chicago?
Chicago is small enough to be in a video game.
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:WHY WHY WHY??? It was already done?

I hope this stays a rumor. So many awesome cities in this world and GTAs all always in the same small bunch!
We need GTA London again, we need Tokyo, Moscow, Dubai, Montreal, Paris, etc
Canada or bust!MrHicks said:count me in with the "USA again????" crowd
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:The only thing that really sucks about the base GTA IV is it's replay system.

Something Wicked 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.

Have you ever been to Hollywood? Regardless, it'll be LA not just Hollywood.Snuggler said:Hollywood is super underwhelming, but it's GTA
Snuggler said: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.
