Where should Rockstar go next?

I'd like to see a Red Dead Redemption episode/total conversion set in Africa during the Boer Wars.
It could be a prequel following a young Jack Swift in his military days or as a mercenary/explorer/Big Game hunter.
All they'd have to do is alter the environment, change the Mexicans to Africans and the Americans to British and Dutch, and change all the animals to native African species.
The core gameplay, i.e. riding around on horseback, shooting things, hunting (treasure and animals) could remain the same, they'd just need to alter the setting.

you know what else I would like to see? a rockstar game that actually strengthens the melee combat engine.
Most rockstar games melee kind of feels very meh. Yes, even the Warriors.

They should try making a game where you're an evil genius in space with a robot army, it could combine RTS and sandbox.
Just a thought...

I'd say that a game, it doesn't necessarily have to be completely sandbox, set at the height of the Age of Imperialism up to and including the First World War would be great.
If only because no one seems to bother with it. If this is unattainable (because it has to be sandbox and in a city, or some shit) I'd say that a 1919'ish München or Vienna would be very, very, very interesting.

I really like the idea of a RDR-style game happening in Africa either right when European colonization happened or when decolonization started to happen. Kudos to you guys who came up with that.
Personally, I think modern Japan would be amazing for a GTA game. Also, yeah, a pirate or sea-based game would be awesome as well. sorta like LOZ The Wind Waker but a bit less tedious on the travel parts.

I choose Grand Theft Medieval. You play a poor peasant (with a dark and mysterious past, obviously) who's family get's killed for this mysterious reason. Horse riding will be like RDR , expect with bows, swords etc.
That basically exists already in the form of the Yakuza games.Samus Aaron said:
I'd go for a setting based on 1001 Nights. I want to ride magic carpets, fight 40 thieves and summon genies by rubbing a lamp..
