Grand Theft Auto V’s Art Director on Creating Los Santos: “I’d Never Want to Rebuild a City”

Rockstar North Art Director Aaron Garbut commented on the process of building a city, and how it precludes the developers from actually creating a 100% replica of the real thing.

Ugh, no thanks. Im from Birmingham UK and the few times ive been to London just reminded me of a bigger version of Birmingham. Boring, grey buildings with little variety full of boring, miserable people (seriously, doesn't anyone ever smile in major English cities?).

I'd much rather have a more varied area again. Like Los Santos in the way that there is a city but also mountains and countrysides. Im thinking somewhere in Canada, Toronto maybe. Or San Fran (yes i realise that's not in Canada).

@David

Which i wasn't a fan of, i played them a little but i found it very boring due to the setting. I like colourful, interesting places with a lot of variety in landscape. Not depressing, grey cities.

TransientDreamer3765d ago

You guys have the two Getaway games on PS2 if anything. ;)

Newmanator3765d ago

I'm from Stafford, England and now live in the US. London has close streets like NY, motorway/highway belts, numerous parks (Hempstead Heath etc) and wider countryside roads as you leave London. Based off these I thought it would be varied enough for a GTA map.
But I understand Your point about all-city Sandboxes being dull (Saints Row 3/4).

Dee_913765d ago

i honestly wouldnt mind them just expanding on san andreas.I mean if you look at the map, places like paleto bay and chumash could be much bigger and become a city itself,with landscapes from small city to desert to snow covered mountains, or like find a way to connect them to san fierro . But then again I wouldn't mind a miami themed city again, but it wouldn't be as diverse as san andreas, landscape wise.

NukaCola3765d ago

I want something based on north Midwest like Chicago or Detroit. Canadians and Arabs. City and nature. Tons of potential. Oh and put it in the snowy season.

would be kinda hard to do high speed car chases on such narrow roads and fight cops with billy clubs lol

5 star wanted level can bring out the cops that actually use weapons in the UK

Raccoon3765d ago

at 5 stars you get a platoon of nightstick wearing chaps riding mopeds and mountain bikes....

DoctorJones3765d ago

I didn't know the armed response units ride about on mountain bikes and mopeds.

Beastforlifenoob3765d ago

and you would be a middle aged man/woman named elizabeth or edward and offer tea to everyone. You would also have either a shaved head or balding.

Dead_Cell3764d ago (Edited 3764d ago )

Our Policemen don't carry weapons because to be honest, they just don't really have that big of a prejudice against minorities.

What about Cairo
This will nice and cool

xBraiNshOcK3765d ago (Edited 3765d ago )

I prefer it be somewhere exotic like Tokyo or Hong Kong

Edit, but I guess I'll be satisfied with Square Enix's Sleeping Dogs.

I wouldn't mind Miami at all.

I remember Sam Houser saying GTA is more focused on America

"We’ve avoided it because we think that part of the experience of GTA is its engagement with America, or American media, American movies, American culture or whatever. Americana is such a part of the games, that in removing that, it would bizarrely make them lose their universality.”

Hartsy3765d ago

I want another vice city :) just a lot bigger, the music was great, just more inventive weapons, more vehicles, and more customisation XD

More interested in money than giving fans what they want. Such a shame

CrimsonWing692d ago

With the amount of money they generated, I just don’t understand the scrubbing of this. It would’ve been fantastic for fans.

Profchaos2d ago

I really want to know who drove the decision to focus on multiplayer was it Rockstar or take two.

Because when online started taking off many of the studio leads began having falling outs and leading including a founder

Demetrius1d 15h ago

Ikr mfs that greedy it's ridiculous

andy852d ago

This makes me sad. Trevor was one of my favourite characters in gaming

Demetrius1d 15h ago

One of the reason I believe once gta 6 release, most of us thoroughly play it, enjoy the world they crafted then after that no offline support, no dlc at all
