GTA JAPAN! I want a samurai sword to play with! And there should be a mission which somehow entails me using a giant robotic dinosaur to go crashing through the city while people yell Godzilla.

And SA fans, there's your fucking wish: they really are going back there.
Guess Rockstar must be running out of ideas.
What? They've done liberty city 3 times now.
Now's an awful specific time to say they're running out of ideas.
Pretty sure it's just easier to copy an existing location than to create an entirely new concept. Never been a huge fan of Liberty City myself
Well it was my understanding that they'll do what they always do and just base it off a city like New York for Liberty, Los santos for Los angeles and so forth. I was just saying to him it doesn't make any sense to say they're running out of ideas for using Los santos again when liberty city has been done so often too. They'll just redesign it like they always do.

Indeed.
If they can make a game that's as fun and content filled as San Andreas, I'm in.

This is probably too late for research on LA Noir (they're probably just testing it now) but it would be on time for a new gta which should be coming out in a couple of years.

I don't know where you've been, or for how long, but GTA has always been good.
I think FinalDream was hinting at the fact that GTA IV somehow wasn't fun, which is wrong of course.

It would be neat for them to visit a different city, though I also wouldn't midn seeing what a present day Vice City looks like.

i don't think GTA will ever go to London, even though that's where every Englishmen wants it to be. i just don't think rockstar could inject American humor into a foreign place,a t least without it being non stop jokes about London stereotypes.

didn't they already do California?
Rockstar North is based in Edinburgh, they are British :p
Their humour is British for the most part, they could easily make another GTA London game but I don't think they will having established their alternate universe. It wouldn't be called London at any rate, probably Royal City or something xD

Places Grand Theft Auto Should Go (But Probably Won't):
Rome
Madrid
Montreal
A Place Where The Cars Control Relativley Well
A Place That Rips Off Saints Row's Controls (which are a thousand times better)
San Fransisco, The 1960s (Press X To Imitate Dirty Harry)
Las Vegas, The 1990s

I didn't like San Andreas, it was too over the top, one minute you're a 'Gangsta from da hood' and in the next minute you're infiltrating a military base, on you're own, to steal A JETPACK! Sure it's a cute idea, but it's not GTA! Vice City was good, and I liked the realism in Gta4. I don't get why people complain about it, YES IT'S FUN! And the expansions gave you a tank and parashute!
I disagree. San Andreas was so much fun because you didn't have to take anything seriously, it was a giant parody of a huge slice of American Culture. The huge game world and endless variety of side missions, vehicles and weapons meant that once you finished the campaign you had so much potential to play it as a sandbox. GTA IV, by comparison, tried to have its cake and eat it too by including a gritty and dark storyline but keeping the parody elements, and they culled a whole bunch of stuff in the name of realism, so much that it put me off. A game more like San Andreas would be a return to form for Rockstar.

Play Vice City, You get that AND a Chainsaw.

If they go back anywhere it should be Vice City,or some coastal city in California in the 70's or 80's, Like San Francisco

Nice, I just hope they do as good of a job with the protagonist as they did with Nico.
I'd rather they just gave a faceless robot if that's all they can muster.

OT: Can't they do somewhere OTHER than America?

I'm thinking...

Norwich.
GTA Brighton?

I don't see why they don't do Cuba. If they are going for more grit, realism and crime, and less humour then they probably couldn't find a better place save for Venezuela.

Or maybe Post WW1 Germany? Political intrigue? Old timey weapons? A cameo or two from Adolf?

Okay I'll stop.

It would be nice to see modern day Vice City. I imagine it having some sort of nods or jokes about Burn Notice.

Probably wont do Vegas since that where the next Fallout game is. Vinewood in San Andreas was almost half the original starting area, but it was set in the 90s so maybe they expanded deep in to the other half?

A GTA game based in Australia would be hilarious, especially with the running joke of the Australian/American war that no one seems to remember or know anything about.

I want GTA: Nunavut, every square kilometer of the territory is explorable, and if you're outside for more than 20 minutes, your character freezes to death. Also the protagonist is a pissed off Inuit man looking to get revenge on the Fish Monger who built a store over his favorite ice-fishing hole. With incredibly deadly weapons like the harpoon, the seal club, and the single gun in Canada (most overpowered and unfair weapon in game). But untill I get a GTA game based in my native Canada I'll settle for running around places like Las Angeles and blowing up random cars as they pass by.

Hmm, Hollywood could be interesting, especially if they expand on Los Santos. I'd like a return to Vice City though, I quite liked the style of the place.

*sigh of relief*

I misunderstood/misread the title of the thread... thought they were making a GTA movie.

But anyway, good show, seems like a good idea to me.

First of all, I dunno if it'll even be called GTA V. There were multiple titles between GTA3 and GTA4.

Anyway, I hope they don't bring back San Andreas. There was just too much shit going on. I think they should take Los Santos and expand it into it's own giant sprawling world.

But yeah, they do seem to be running out of ideas for settings, don't they? Why not create something based off of Chicago or Detroit? Anything new really.
