Support NeoGAF

[off duty ninja]

Not likely, but that is the suggestion being sent out by this Real Estate firm who mocked up a map of Portland Oregon as a GTA map.

New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Miami have all gotten their due. And with “Grand Theft Auto 5” finally hitting PC January 27, it’s time to set our sights on to the future of the franchise and the inevitable “Grand Theft Auto 6”.
But where should Rockstar take “Grand Theft Auto” next? Milwaukee? The Moon? That’s the real question on everybody’s mind, and we here at Movoto Real Estate Blog think, nay, we know, we’ve found the best answer.

We already proved how much crime pays with our previous trip into the world of GTA, so we’re lending our expertise to help Rockstar make what could be a hard decision quite easy. Are you ready for it? Sitting down? Brace yourself.“Grand Theft Auto 6” needs to be set in Portland, OR.

Hell yea! I am slightly biased but I have always felt Portland would be an amazing city for an open world game. Check out the map:

With Marijuana being legalized here during the last election it would open up the game to some ripe story lines as well.

What say you GAF??

Smoke me if old...

 

[Floridian]

I'd be surprised and excited if Rockstar finally moved away from the FL/NY/LA setting. I wanna see something new from them.

 

[BigDug13]

Portland seems to have way more strip clubs than Los Santos.

 

[Yoda]

Prob Vice City 2.

 

[TheAbsolution]

What?
That'd be the last place I'd set a GTA in.
Maybe one of their other franchises?

 

[OneEightZero]

The parody potential would be amazing.

 

[robotrock]

Is GTAV actually hitting PC on the 27th?

 

[BashNasty]

My money is still on Chicago.

 

[krpiper]

This looks kind of small? But that would be cool if it had the flavor of Alan Wake

 

[entremet]

Is GTAV actually hitting PC on the 27th?

Yes.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

seeing the lack of police... time to start a crime spree

 

[Zia]

It'd be a dull GTA setting expressly because it's such a nice place to live.

 

[xxracerxx]

Oh fuck, my house is one of those pins.

I would be down. Needs snowy mountains and a coast city though as well. Not to mention logging, college town, etc.

Could be pretty great actually.

 

[ArchedThunder]

That would work pretty well, they could also do a lot with hipster culture.

 

[Cimarron]

How about playing as a reformed pimp in 1970's Detroit?

 

[somuchwater]

On the one hand, my gut reaction is "okay, but Portlandia has already done this" - but OTOH, if they actually do it well, the possibilities for mocking the excesses of faux-progressive/faux-healthy/faux-enlightened Western culture are endless.

 

[EightBitNate]

A parody of Portland would be cool. Portlandia has a lot of GTA-like humor.

 

[theechrisfox]

That's all just misdirection. The next iteration will clearly be Grand Theft Rickshaw set in rural China.

 

[AHUGECAT]

Portland is an awesome city, but this is most likely a false rumor.

Portland doesn't have enough "excitement" for a GTA game, like a New York or L.A. clone would.

Only other city I think that could do it is Chicago.

 

[FaintDeftone]

I'd rather see them go to a different country. Maybe take on London again or give Tokyo or Bangkok a try..

 

[NameGenerated]

I'd be down with murdering some hipsters.

Atlanta please

 

[Hatchtag]

My money is still on Chicago.

Yuck. Chicago's such a boring city for an openworld game, I don't want it set there. Pick Milwaukee or anywhere else instead.

 

[brickarts295]

Nah Vice City needs that HD makeover. After that they can set it wherever they want.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

these three better be in it

 

[The Llama]

I have always felt Portland would be an amazing city for an open world game.

Location:
P-Town

 

[dcassell]

Yes. Tons of potential to include the snowy mountains right by Portland as another area

 

[Neue Regel]

It's a shame they most likely wont move outside the US, I really hope it's set in the future or past though as I'm getting tired of the modern day satire thing.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

I want a place where it snows.

 

[Chris R]

So just because some random company makes a GTA styled map the next game will be set there? Talk about stretching.

 

[5taquitos]

What a terrible thread title.

Also, as a lifelong Portland resident, this would be a horrible choice. Portland isn't exactly an "exciting" city, and marijuana legalization doesn't automatically mean that it will become the perfect candidate for a massive crime-spree simulator. I mean, did anyone consider Denver as a location after they legalized it last year?

 

[The Lamonster]

Misleading thread title.

 

[Grampa Simpson]

Portland seems to have way more strip clubs than Los Santos.

Portland has oodles of strip clubs.

Specifically, it's considered free speech.

 

[Flappy]

There is no way this wouldn't actually have Bigfoot.

 

[TheBlackAdept]

Oh wow! Something i wrote made Gaf. This is awesome.

Just wanted to let people know this isn't a rumor, we don't have insider information or anything. It was just a fun map we put together.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

eh, a little bit small maybe...

 

[J2 Cool]

fictional Chicago would overlap NY too much. I think they have to go out of country (think James Bond), or if its a quicker turnaround I guess I could see returning to Vice City-ish setting.

 

[imBask]

"you won't believe what Rockstar said! click here to know more"

 

[Aeqvitas]

It's too bad infamous ruined Seattle for a setting, is much more interesting city set up than portland. But portland would be better than another NY/LA/Miami game.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Misleading thread title.

...incredibly misleading thread title lol.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Miami would be the smart move given that it's completely flat. Design-wise, it should make their lives easier and allow for a quicker development cycle. Plus, they need to do missions in the keys and the everglades.

So stop fucking around and given me Vice City 2 dammit.

 

[ComputerMKII]

What are some famous movies or TV shows that take place there?

 

[5taquitos]

Portlandia and Grimm

 

[MilesTeg]

It's gonna be New York again.

 

[ryseing]

My money is still on Chicago.

Just to piss off Ubisoft?

DC pls Rockstar. Have it come out during the 2016 election.

 

[Spycarnegy]

Chicago or Bust.
Watch dogs doesnt count

 

[Alcoholikaust]

and thats a wrap

 

[Amentallica]

LOL @ title change

 

[lord]

Baltimore with The Wire references and trips to DC, CIA white house and all sorts of nonsense, fuck yeah,

 

[ryan299]

Next one will be in Vice City.
