why do you think those people don't get that? glasgow specifically is too small to be a gta map by itself but it and lots of other parts of the uk are well suited to all kinds of crime dramas and would also work well in a gta game. a uk-based map would be great, the london games were a lot of fun in the old school gta games.

You've never talked to someone who sincerely wants a GTA based around their own town? I agree that a UK based one could work, but because there's a significant amount of UK crime cinema and culture to draw from. Without that, people are just asking for MySchool.wad on a larger scale.

i thought you were talking about people bringing up Glasgow, not people who just want their hometown. Glasgow would be a good setting, as far as the whole crime cinema and culture angle goes anyway. it would just need to incorporate a much larger area for a game of GTA's length. like if you threw in Edinburgh for a constrasting tone and some of the landscape in between, maybe a a bit of the highlands for some moody outdoor stuff, that'd be enough. I'd buy that.

maybe you should have mentioned some boring midwestern suburb if that was your point!

Someone with math work out how much bigger a 1:1 Glasgow would be relative to the map from V

(it is not overall area that determines the fun of the map, rather how tight together the interesting landmarks are while only seeming far away)

i think the maps are better when only one area of it is city and there's some surrounding open landscape, gives more opportunity for different vehicle types and activities etc

Forza Horizon 4 is basically a chunk of Scotland and northern England, the main city is Edinburgh instead of Glasgow, but other than that it'd probably be a somewhat similar map and it's pretty easy to imagine that gameworld stocked up with GTA style activities

there was already a GTA in London and it was great but it was the old top-down style of GTA. really good music tho.

the last open world London game I played was Watch Dogs 3, which I thought was boring af. part of that was because the map is fully city with no breaks or other kinds of landscape, and a very limited pool of vehicles. part of that is just because its a boring game built around a silly gimmick with an uninteresting story.

Ah, sorry, I just pulled Glasgow as somewhere fairly close by without doxing myself that popped into my head - it does have a rich crime folklore and even a few films, so yeah, that was a piss-poor example from me! Apologies!

GTA: Giant desert map

Just a massive, massive flat desert map.


You start off with your car broken down on a small dirt road in the middle of the desert. There is only a 1/1000 chance another car will come along before you die of dehydration in 18 in game hours.

There are desert mice you can punch if you want. Like if your just a real rear end in a top hat. Like what did the cute little desert mouse do to you!

But yeah just think of the satisfaction after all that waiting and so many unavoidable death when you manage to steal your first car!!!!

On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog.


Grand theft auto works because aside from the fact that it’s fun to shoot and race cars. it’s a bunch of Scottish people making fun of America and the America they see on tv and have shoved down their own throats from American culture. It’s why every loving game is about the American dream and getting rich as hell no matter what

The non-Americans recognize it because it’s the America they see on tv. The Americans see it as funny parody.

A game in Scotland is not going to hit the same. You think it’s be better because it’s local and there’s Scottish crime movies but that’s the problem imo. it’s going to get too local. There’s going to be plot points about how bad the traffic is on the m8 and the terrible schedules of particular train lines. The characters are going to wax on about local specialties you can find ducking anywhere.

It’s going to be like when New York writers on talk shows just start going on about about bodegas and the f train and how going to Brooklyn from Manhattan is so far but for the entire loving game

They can't. As I understand it, there is, legit, some really strong legal protections on that system. Ones with real teeth that are really hard to skirt. It's why the rest of the gaming industry didn't steal the poo poo out of this genuinely cool system from a pretty middling game. There are a few really half-hearted knockoffs, but nobody can do anything that truly resembles it.

One of the musicians who played in that band got my friend pregnant and then kind of disappeared. The drummer gives lessons near me and seems like a decent dude.

I do remember that they tried to tour as Love Fist, but Rockstar wouldn't let them, so they became a Darkness tribute act instead (and I believe played some Lovefist there).
