i think rio would be dope
― s1ocki, Wednesday, 21 January 2009 20:07 (fifteen years ago) link
gta blame it on rio
i've never played this game but the latino element seems essential, so i voted for rio
plus rio is already actually like gta
however, it would be super badass to flip the script and pull a "snake eater" where you're in the jungles of colombia and have to steal jeeps and swamp boats

I'd like to see them go back to the bigger three city idea, but yeah, time for some new cities. San Andreas style, but London / Paris / Berlin perhaps.
― Jeff LeVine, Wednesday, 21 January 2009 22:55 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah I voted for Paris b/c I actually know it well, unlike NYC and Miami (never played SA). But from this thread I think a South American city would be badass. But pretty unlikely. I figure it'll be Vice City 2.

Yanks would have to get used to driving on the wrong side of the road, but who knows?
cmon nobody actually tries to drive properly in these games, do they?

sf already done (although livberty city was too, i guess) glasgow???? come on. That other gta like game has already covered london. my bet: chicago

the thing about Chicago is that for people outside America there isn't really a definable image of Chicago. E.g. I could tell you literally nothing about Chicago whereas I could tell you all the boroughs of New York and their geographical placement as well as a number of landmarks without having ever been there.

the game is so tied to american gansta movie shit i dont think theyll ever take it abroad - if it took place in lagos or rio or wherever the culture just wouldnt be there
― ice cr?m, Thursday, 22 January 2009 15:06 (fifteen years ago) link
xpost. ike in GTA 4 going over whatever they called the Queensboro bridge in to Dukes and saying to myself, "hey, there's the Queensbridge Houses". Same thing wouldn't happen in a Chicago based game.
And yeah, it is tied to American gangsta movie shit, plus I think wherever it is would at least have to be anglophone, having it in Rio with all these dudes doing crap accents would be rough.

i miss the period detail of earlier GTAs - would love to see 70s/60s game, tho i guess that might turn off legion of teen GTAers...

a whole bunch of 20s-50s gangsta games have been huge disappointments so maybe a GTA could do it right. 20s Chicago might work. "might feature rub-a-dub and flappers" etc
xp ok now that one i like

I'd be surprised if they didn't do London at some point
― burt_stanton, Thursday, 22 January 2009 15:25 (fifteen years ago) link
Oh yeah, and even people in the US don't know anything about Chicago... unless you're from the Midwest.

london was already subject of one of the pre-3d grand theft autos
― MIRV Griffin (goole), Thursday, 22 January 2009 15:29 (fifteen years ago) link
london is a possibility but dudes are OTM that they will never / should never do it in a non-english country, wouldn't be the same.
― s1ocki, Thursday, 22 January 2009 15:33 (fifteen years ago) link
Wouldn't be the same as having a game set in America, in which every single character speaks using UK English idiosyncrasies
― antexit, Thursday, 22 January 2009 16:12 (fifteen years ago) link
I think the colonies have long since developed their own charactersitic idiosyncrasies.

There was this game that existed around the same time as the pre-3D GTAs called Driver.
The first one was set in Miami/SF/LA/NYC but the second was set in Chicago, Havana, Las Vegas and Rio.
I played the hell out of these 2 games. Good times.

The LA part of San Andreas was amazing, I think they should do LA again revamped.

Tokyo would be super-hott -- yakuza, geishas, neon motocycles, mechas. Shinjuku would be total eyeporn overload.
Also: Putin-era Moscow!!
― Leee, Thursday, 22 January 2009 23:28 (fifteen years ago) link
Imagine if they did a Hong Kong or Japan gangster movie homage game? (Though this may be happening in part through the Chinatown Wars game, which I am looking forward to more than I thought I would) A Rockstar-realized Tokyo or HK would be incredible, though I admit having it fully acted and written in English might be weird. I like the Prohibition-era idea, too.
― Nhex, Friday, 23 January 2009 01:21 (fifteen years ago) link
San Andreas * GTA IV grimness - happy fun-time wacko missions would be depressing, though.

GUN was an attempt at a GTA:Deadwood style game but i dont think anybody ever played it. also it was wasn't good.

It was ALMOST good though. There wasn't anything to do in the world, and it felt very linear. You take that template and actually make a real cowboy game with open plains and buried treasure and indian attacks and I would play the shit out of it.

GTA: Tokyo would be hella stupid, I fear. Maybe if they teamed up with a Japanese developer it could work.
