So, Far Cry 2: Electric Boogaloo
id love to see gta explored from the perspective of the police. lots of potential there i think.,
I doubt they will get rid of the three character system, they probably went for it because they decided the standard GTA formula was getting stale. I think they could make it work, and if it does, it will produce a better game imo so I'm all for it.
I'd love a GTA set in Tokyo if for no other reason than to drive cool cars. If the game is to be set outside america though, I'd guess it would be in either London or Scotland (or both), because those are places with R* offices in them and there's precedent (the old old GTA game). I'd say those areas mainly because the staff there probably have a good understanding of how the areas work and thus how to make good satire out of it and I'm guessing a decent relationship with the US offices.
I'd like a game like San Andreas again, with more than one city. I reckon they should do Detroit and Toronto.

So, Driver 3? That was actually a cool game. I want to play it again.

What about instead of thinking of different locations, what about different time periods? But not the past, no. Maybe something like GTA2; a retro-futuristic setting?
I'd love to see a GTA Texas. Make it kind of like San Andreas with multiple cities and you could have Houston, Austin, San Antonio with pretty large differences between the 3 as well as lots of rural areas between them.
Would work well from the crime standpoint as well. Houston has the Crips and Bloods, San Antonio has various Mexican Gangs, Austin has corrupt politicians.
Grand Theft Auto VI: Chaos Theory - calling it, it's going to be sick.

I live in Houston and it's too boring, apart from petty shit, even Hood2Hood couldn't find anyone to act up when theu came here; Dunno about Dallas tho; And Austin really aint got much going on.

Combine this and the three-character system so it's essentially two or three different storylines in two or three different places until they converge. Better yet, make it so that all of the characters' factions oppose eachother who you're playing as affects how missions play out. For example, you could be playing as one character and shoot a different playable character in the face during a mission unknowingly or something, but if you were playing as the character that gets shot in the face for that mission, you could take out the other one or avoid the shot to the face or something and keep them alive.
It's all just a pipe dream, though. Especially if we consider V's quality of writing and the amount of work they'd have to put in to make this happen. It'd probably bump up the development time quite a bit.
[QUOTE=RzDat;50046759]Vice City Stories is the most underrated GTA ever. It had Empire building, great soundtrack, unique vehicles and features (military fighting style n shit) yet its only for PSP and PS2.
[/QUOTE]
And it was glitchy and unpolished as fuck.
what about a prehistoric GTA where instead of stealing cars you tame sabre tooth tigers.

[QUOTE=Eric95;50047076]The part in the article about Tokyo doesn't really rule it out seeing as that happened in the GTA3 days.[/QUOTE]
GTA in a Tokyo parody would be incredible, although I don't know how they'd solve the language problems as all GTA games feature people speaking native languages rather than accented English as a stand-in for the audience to understand. I guess if the protagonist is American it'd work, his associates would speak English to and around him so he, and by extension the player, may understand them.
Anyway the setting could be amazing. My favourite custom campaign for Left 4 Dead is 'Yama' due to the rich and varied setting it introduces. The journey through Tokyo, the rural areas, villages, temples, and the forgotten mining town was great. It'd be awesome to see that kind of setting in a more expansive game. They could also split the weapons into different levels with different underground sellers. Yakuza sells mostly Pre-gun ban civilian and WW2 era weapons, Mafiya sells the standard slav shit, and then someone more connected sells the most sophisticated weapons, stolen from USMC armories.

How about a more diverse story with choices, you play a cop that can either abide by the law or go corrupt.

Law abiding cop option doesn't seem like GTA at all. GTA has always been about committing or being an accessory of crime.
Dubai would be nice

though i dont know if there would be enough to do there

which is why it would be something different rather than the same old incarnation but with new features, you could have a sort of csi type story tracking down murderers and either doing it by the book progressing that story ( commandeering cars with your badge ) or go full on corrupt cop and kill them but cover it up sort of.
[QUOTE=UnknownDude;50053413]First world GTA's have been done do death already. I have a better idea.
GTA: Mogadishu
Set in the 90's. Complete anarchy, you can buy AK47's in street stalls. No cops, only various factions controlling different parts of town. Instead of a single wanted level there would be several wanted levels representing the different factions like in Saint's Row 2. There would be various factions based on some of the militias that fought in early stages of the Somali civil war, as well as ordinary criminal gangs, pirates and islamists. The game would let you choose which factions to work with and which ones to screw over, similar to Far Cry 2.
Story missions could include shooting down a Black Hawk helicopter, holding up a large container ship, raiding militia compounds and various other civil war and piracy shenanigans.[/QUOTE]
Altough GTA games are about street crime and not war, I always tought a militaristic GTA spinoff ( like the Red dead series ) about being a mercenary/criminal in a warzone would be cool, it would be like a more realistic version of the Mercenaries games. Settings could be Mogadishu, but also modern day Syria or besieged Sarajevo.
I honestly wouldn't mind a GTA in the D.C./NOVA/Baltimore area. Imagine a House of Cards-esque GTA set in that area, with a corrupt politician as a protagonist doing anything he needs to get up there, even if it is heinous. It'd be a nice new area too. Would love that even if Vice City is the more logical way they're gonna go with it.
Gta London?
or hell they could go really risky and do a Gta: Stoke on trent

I think it could work really good if you were an undercover cop.

How about GTA in Brazil or South Africa? Those place are crime riddled places you know

The thing is that GTA games are usually built around american lifestyle and the so called 'American dream'. It could probably work if the game took place in some place like the north of mexico as those states were (and some still are) under heavy gang/cartel prescence, plus, there is a lot of influence from the US. It won't be that risky considering that you would be bringing a new setting without comprimising the game with the cultural differences.
I still think Vice City is better

GTA games aren't built around American lifestyle. They're built around parodies of the cities they are set in, that includes some general American themes but I don't see why it can't move beyond that or why the city they are parodying can't be outside of the US.
[QUOTE=BCell;50080520]How about GTA in Brazil or South Africa? Those place are crime riddled places you know[/QUOTE]
Those are very boring places. And the emphasis in GTA is more around organised crime as opposed to the kind of crime that happens in those two places.

Liberty City is already the most boring setting in the GTA universe. London would absolutely take the cake though.

I don't think there is a chance that the next GTA will be anywhere but Vice City.
I would venture to say that GTA's largest market is the U.S., I couldn't find any numbers about domestic vs international sales but with sales so strong for GTA games based in the U.S. they have little incentive to change the formula. I would expect that a GTA set in a European or Asian city as the main backdrop would not be as popular with the US audience. That along with the cost of sending environmental teams abroad makes me feel like we won't be seeing anything other than the U.S. any time soon. Although Rockstar does have studios in England, so a next generation GTA based in London may be a possibility.

I agree about Vice City, I will be genuinely surprised if it isn't set there, but I don't think the setting is that important to sales to be honest. A GTA game is still a GTA game, it will sell like hotcakes regardless. I mean, it's crazy popular in the UK regardless of the US setting, I don't see how it would be different. If it was a new IP I would take your point but I think the GTA brand is big enough that it doesn't need to rely on pandering to the audiences geographic location.

I would bet that the English audience is more comfortable with an American setting than vice versa because the prevalence of entertainment that comes out of the US. Whereas, the average person in the US knows very little if anything about English culture or lifestyle. I agree that it would do well regardless, and I personally would love to see a London GTA in the next generation. The Getaway was one of my absolute favorite games of the PS2 era.
