They should stick to American cities because a huge part of what makes GTA unique is the way it satirizes American culture.

Yeah, in American cities they can be racist towards ALL races. If they went for Tokyo or something, they'd be limited to just the one.

What are you talking about? Set it in the 1970s. Fill it with cars from the 50s-70s with plenty of 60s and 70s muscle cars. A story about running drugs or something. They can make jokes about illegal immigrants. It would be great. Where else in the country that someone from outside the US has heard of would be better? Anything in the northeast, or florida, or the west coast would just be a retread. I think they need a completely new area to exploit.

Look up a video on YouTube, you can do this in a couple minutes. If you knock a guy over then ride up to him, you can get into a loop of knock him off, wait for him to get back on, knock him off before he drives off, repeat until race ends with you losing.


Really? What for, I don't remember seeing CJ in GTA4.

I swore to god I've seen a commercial of him jumping out of a plane, but I can't find a youtube of it. There are a million of him on a poster somewhere so I guess he's in there like that.

According to IGN he shows up in the "I'm Rich" show.

I've had some ideas about possible future GTA's.

- Liberty City, 1987: CJ's story, a prequel to San Andreas. Sadly it'd be pretty much the same as all the other Liberty City GTA's, working for the mafia type stuff, but I guess you could put in something about the cocaine epidemic.

- Los Santos, 1984: CJ's Story, a pre-prequel to San Andreas, at the end you leave for LC.

- Or combine those, once you finish the game you get to fly between LS and LC at will (and maybe it saves the game in-flight).

- Based on Washington DC. (I think they've called it Capital City in the past?) Corrupt guvmint, that kinda stuff.

- Modern Vice City

- Another Rockstar game was set in rust belt Carcer City - maybe base it on Cleveland or Chicago?

I say make it part of the new San Andreas: give us Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas but create an Arizona/Texas portion of New Austin that is mapped from Red Dead Redemption, only stuck in the '70s because it's pretty much deserted.

That said, rumor has it that the next GTA is taking place in Los Santos.

I don't want the game to have anything to do with loving San Andreas. I want them to pick an American region they haven't done yet and build a spiritual homage to GTA2 in that region. I don't want that region to be goddamn Texas.

I'm really hoping there's some more rugged wilderness sections like those in San Andreas. I think they proved with RDR that they can pull that off.

I think Washington DC would definitely provide the best opportunity for social commentary. Some of GTA's best and funniest characters have been dirty politicians. In this game, most of your bosses could be politicians, lobbyists, big-wigs from the pentagon, and the CIA. Plus, Rockstar would be almost obligated to include a mission in which you assault the White House on behalf of the VP or the Speaker of the House or something. The Fox News coverage of it would be amazing.

I want a game like GTA set in a fake Washington, where the last mission finishes with your character becoming President. Also you still get to go on car stealing bitch ramping pedestrian slaughtering mayhem.

I think GTA in the 70's is the best idea.

The time capsule GTA's like Vice City and San Andreas owed a lot to pop culture references/straight up mission stealing from movies. And those two were the best.

It's just not as cool or relevant to do modern pop-culture references, because we don't know if its just a 'in the moment' thing, or something that's gonna stick with a generation.

There were so many cars of that era that not only made their place in history, but in pop culture as well. There were so many era-defining movies in the 70's as well.

I love that Rockstar is branching out into doing all kinds of things these days. the fact that we have a 40s/50s crime thriller and a cowboy western fitting into the GTA template makes me very excited that one day fairly soon we'll see them go into scifi. The lack of a decent scifi open world game makes me quite sad, because I love the poo poo out of open world games. It's just so fun to dick around and explore somewhere interesting.

You think you can take me at Satan's Hollow? Go 'head on!
A city that's been brought up in the Rockstar universe a bit and hardly explored is Carcer City. I'd actually like to see a GTA game set there, since if you go by Manhunt the place is a filthy criminal cesspool. It'd be all the excuse they need to just go nuts with old-school GTA gameplay, doing horrible things for horrible people and driving around and/or blowing things up.

They could even set it in the "near future", and since the city's basically Detroit they could have some backstory like half the city has been remodeled into a yuppie paradise while the other half has been left to rot.

I don't see how. I thought GTA3's take on modern times was interesting and it took cues from a lot of older movies. Its pop culture references have aged very well over the past decade and are still relevent.

I'd really like to see a GTA somewhere outside of America and one with cities and countryside, like SA. China perhaps? And missions that are actually fun and not horribly repetitive would be nice too (I'm looking at you, GTA IV/TLaD/to a slightly lesser extent TBOGT). And please, please, mid-mission checkpoints. Especially after driving places.

All in all I don't give a poo poo where or when it's set, I just like to talk about GTA2 whenever I can.

What I blindly hope is that Rockstar have taken serious lessons from both Red Dead Redemption and Saints Row 2 and combine all the things that are excellent about each into one game.

It's a dystopian future, which basically means Detroit today plus crazy guns.

I still think Rockstar should port GTA 1 and 2 to the DS, make them control like Chinatown Wars, and sell them as GTA Classic or something.

Indeed. Liberty City is clearly New York City without being New York City. Same with Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas. Making a "Capital City", the key component would be the monuments/iconic government center. Everything else is designed around making the game flow.
