They've done London before, but I agree about Edinburgh, or maybe Tokyo.
And a definite yes to a female protagonist, we're long overdue for that.

If it featured Toronto and Montreal, a Hell's Angels plotline would make the most sense.monstersquad said:
It would be cool--you could start out in TO, and have to bring drugs to MTL by traveling down the 401 by bike and stopping in a lot of small towns (based on Belleville, Napanee, etc.--known centres for HA activity), in which you go to rugged bars, get in shoot-outs in farmhouses with other gang members who are drunk, etc. Finally, you arrive in Montreal, but things don't go as planned, and your embroiled in a separatist-related political scandal that could affect the future of the province and a grisly gang war.
Note that the map could be long and narrow between TO and MTL, to resemble a highway. It would also have to be really, really large--long enough that going down it would seem like a journey and you couldn't just jump the cue.
Two places only... Either 1980's Vice City or 1960's London... No place new, keep it true to its roots...
Serious answers-Revamp of the 60's London GTA game, New Orleans, Amsterdam (I'm actually a little surprised this place hasn't been touched on), Thailand (but I guess the game wouldn't want to tackle prostitution of that sort.)
Non serious (but still totally awesome) answers-Amish Back country, Space, Stone Age, GTA: The Roman Empire, GTA: Hot Wheels Adventure.
I actually like that last one, but it sounds like something Double Fine might do. A crime game based on the narrative of a kid playing with action figures and hot wheels.
Shit, I should trademark that.

Personally I have had it in my mind for a while that a GTA set in prohibition era Chicago would do pretty well. And If you think about it given the gta driving physics at least the cars would drive accurately for once.
If your hell fire bent on making it more modern set it in three areas of England, Ireland and Scotland. Just the level of factions involved would fit perfectly into GTA although England s No gun thing might make it a little confusing, so perhaps make England the starter area and keep weapons relegated to bats, shivs and other melee weapons with the end chapter being Ireland and likely getting tied up with an IRA-esque organization.
Or for comedy factor you set it in Montreal and rename it Grand theft Moose and all the dialogue quests result in pleasant debates over afternoon tea. (I kid, I kid)
How about an Asian setting, but not the more common Japan or China. Perhaps Thailand or Cambodia.
If it must be in the US perhaps Baltimore (Cmon with nicknames like Mobtown and Murderland how is that not perfect?) or Boston. Perhaps it could be done in a non urban area and focus on say Hillbilly heroine and the Pillbillies in eastern ky and the shiners in WV.
There are so many locales that present alot of potential. Picking a good one will not be difficult. What I think is infinitely more important to the franchise is actually expanding on the gameplay because there really has not been a lot of innovation in the franchise recently. Gameplay wise weve seen the same basic mechanics in GTA3, Vice city, SA, GTA4 + its expansions So it would be nice to see the game done in a much less repetitive style.

Sigh. We don't have alligators, and I don't take an air boat to school...oldskoolandi said:
New Orleans is no different than Detroit. It just has prettier buildings and is 6 feet below sea level all the time. It's just a run down poor city with an aging and fleeting population since Hurricane Katrina, Rita, Ike, and Gustav.
Alligator hunting is done in the Bayou Lafourche area around Thibodeaux and Houma and closer to the Gulf of Mexico.
Fuck you History Channel for making us all seem like ignorant coon asses.
