Where should the next GTA be set?

[Cowabungaa]

Basically this:
In game form. Think about it, it'd be awesome.

Yes they already made a London one, but that's ancient. We need one with GTA4-quality visuals to get the humour across, and if anyone can make such amazing characters as in Lock, Stock, it's Rockstar.

Arakis.

Hijacking 'thopters and trollin' Fremen. Awww yeeeaaaaah.

I shall answer this the same way I answered where AC3 should be set..

Belfast! During the troubles.

I think you mean this;

 

[Smokej]

Warsaw, where some random npc are stealing your car...

I think Moscow (today) and Berlin (pre 90's for some interesting story elements) could make decent settings for GTA.

 

[Aphex Demon]

London. More words so I don't get banned.

This, London. London would be great. I would enjoy London lots.

The lulz are great in this one. I applaud you.

Any place the people drive on the left side of the road. As most games that allow you to drive on the road are based in America (or a replica of America), driving on the left in a video game would be weird as well as fun.

For me, at least.

I think it would have to be set somewhere in America, since the GTA games are an outsider's parody of America and setting them in any other country would change the core game too much.

I doubt any city in Britain (or even much of Europe) would work very well since the roads are too narrow and the town layouts don't lend themselves well to a GTA style game (not since the franchise became 3D from GTA III onwards).

To remain true to the gameplay, it would have to be set in a country where both the populace and law enforcement are armed all the time, you need armed NPC's that pursue you as a consequence of committing crimes, but having every policeman and most civilians draw a side-arm and shoot at you in a game set in London would make it not seem like London any more, more so if the roads were widened to allow high speed pursuits.

Rockstar could and are perfectly capable of making another open world game set in another locale, as witnessed with Red Dead Redemption and the upcoming L.A. Noire, but the Grand Theft Auto series should remain in America, or to be accurate it's America lampooning universe.

GTA in space!

You can steal comets, have sex with alien prostitutes on them, and then get chased through the galaxy by the intergalactic space cops while shooting them with your hypernuclear dildo launcher!

snarky answer: nowhere.

real answer: Disney World. seriously, how awesome would that be?

 

[baddude1337]

London, but I imagine they will go to a redone Vice City, then a redone San Andreas.

 

[Lenteja]

Tijuana

 

[Woodsey]

Norwich.

You know you want it.

 

[O.Gordon]

Either a futuristic city or London...Glasgow maybe?

 

[Project Nemesis]

Bucharest, Romania. There are enough criminal organizations here to make 3 GTAs...Also an undercover cop out on a revenge quest on one of the fore-mentioned organizations would seem a nice change from the all-out crime-spree protagonists GTA had so far. Also, some moral choices to actually affect everything would be welcome (I know, GTA4 had a bit of this but it was too little).
This is how I think the next GTA should be.

 

[lacktheknack]

Mars.

Wouldn't that be absolutely awesome?!

 

[lacktheknack]

Double posts are fail.

 

[blankedboy]

Tamriel?

Think about that for a while, then die.

Isn't that more "Saints Row in Spaaaaace" territory?
