Where Should Grand Theft Auto Go Next?

Andrew Reiner: "We know that Rockstar North is developing Agent, the PlayStation 3 exclusive title announced two years ago at E3. It doesn't take an industry analyst to tell you that a second team at Rockstar North is also working on a new Grand Theft Auto title, presumably Grand Theft Auto V.

For the last two console generations, we've seen appearances of Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas. So far, in this console generation, we've only seen Liberty City, but there have been hints of Vice City. Will Rockstar continue recycling the same locales for this generation, or will the series branch off in a new direction? Personally, I wouldn't mind returning to a sun-soaked setting, but at the same time, it would be interesting to see what Rockstar would offer outside of what we've already seen.

So, where do you see the series going next? Do you want more of the same, or would you rather see Rockstar North dive into new territory?"

.. or another modern asian city, either fictional or based on a real one!

Natsu X FairyTail5453d ago

Yeah they could go to an asian city but alot of people would make comparisons with the new True Crime. They could make a GTA in New orleans or Baltimore. Them spots Gutta as hell. or like that guy said. Come to canada Toronto and Montreal Gets it in.

Hideo_Kojima5453d ago

I want it in London because I am from there.

PoSTedUP5453d ago

New York!! jk i am bias. philly philly philly of course.

PhantomT14125453d ago

The whole comedy angle of GTA is making fun of american culture.

Vice City next.

Detroit in the winter of 2020. This adds a bit of technology which would open up some fiction, but not to alien, just slightly futuristic. That region of America has city, suburbs, country, and gorgeous locals. Every GTA has ethnicity to mix in. Detroit has an extremely large Mexican and Arab population. Also Canadians would fit well. Taking place during a snow storm, would open up new elements, allowing for dynamic weather and new driving challenges. Winter also brings Christmas, Ramadan, Hanukkah/Chanukah, Kwanzaa themes, and a of course the story could end up finaleing during New Years.

Other interesting locations would be Baltimore, Ireland, London, Thailand, and Egypt

Shang-Long5453d ago

multi places.

start out in a poor city in the USA. then expand business to an uptown district. then head to one or two places in euro. go to japan and a south american country.

travel by plane. boat car.

NecrumSlavery5453d ago

Where ever they go, please add the drug dealing ad wanted systems from Chinatown Wars. Crashing cops and selling heroin was brilliantly evil

ReservoirDog3165453d ago

I bet you all a million dollars GTA V will be in London or something near it. Play TBoGT. I hints heavily at London. Even Lazlow says he'll be able to broadcast worldwide through the internet.

All that aside though, I think somewhere in Russia would be cool. I don't think anyone's through that out there yet.

Dee_915453d ago

vice city or san andreas
either way it goes il be happy
i dont want a concrete jungle like liberty city
i want trees,land like rdr and beaches and hoods with gangs

Yi-Long5453d ago

True Crime is by Activision. There's no way it will be able to be as good as GTA by the Rockstar boys!

From what I've seen from True Crime, it doesn't seem impressive at all. It just doesn't look and feel like Hong Kong, judged by the footage and screens we've seen so far, the main character is bland, gameplay looks last-gen, and it will certainly not have the great writing or the brilliant soundtrack that GTA games have!

I've been to Hong Kong a bunch of times now. It's 80% GREEN! There are gorgeous hills, parks, forests, harbours, etc etc.

It's the absolute perfect setting for a GTA game, with 3 distinctly different 'islands' (New Territories & Kowloon, Hong Kong Island, and Lantau Island (airport, lots of nature, temple, buddha))

Also, asian culture has everything you would want for a GTA-game: You have the whole cinematic 'culture' to spoof, you have great music and a distinct celebrity entertainment industry you can easily make fun of. You have temples, clans, families, gangs, triads, foreign business, western influences, chinese influences, lots of different small islands, all kinds of transport, etc etc.

It would absolutely be the perfect open world playground for a game like GTA! It's an amazing place to visit and it has absolutely everything.

AngryTypingGuy5453d ago

And instead of stealing cars, you would steal gondolas.

nveenio5452d ago

Honestly, with all the great PS3 games coming out, GTA is the last thing on my mind.

Canada and more importantly Ontario.

Have Mounties and sh!t like that.

*Achievement Unlocked*

Shoot 50 Mounties and Pick 50 Cobs of Corn.

Natsu X FairyTail5453d ago

Crime rate is lower in otario lmao. Montreal gets it in Way more. Bring GTA there.

MariaHelFutura5453d ago

GTA:Halifax, GTA:Missisauga, GTA:PEI, GTA: Quebec, GTA: Arva (some rural sh!t) would all be awesome.

Why o why5453d ago

theres crime in canada......oh...jay walking ;)

Galaxia5453d ago

Just continue the Liberty City, Vice City, San Andreas process and all will be happy.

Imperator5453d ago

If it's on the 360, I'm simply renting it. I won't buy unless it's PS3 or PC exclusive. I'm tired of 360 gimping games.

TheLastGuardian5453d ago

Please tell me this game has been in developement since GTA 4's release. I can't wait but I doubt it will be called GTA V. The game will probably be called GTA: new city/state name here or GTA: Vice City 2 or GTA: San Andreas 2011.

Shang-Long5453d ago (Edited 5453d ago )

no repeat of a city already done

Quagmire5453d ago

Grand Theft Auto V

V = Vice City

Henceforth, Grand Theft Auto (V)ice City

Most of Rockstar's social commentary is at the expense of American audiences (and that's definitely their strong suit, however I'd like to see what they could do with a major European city. Copenhagen? Vienna? Prague?

Rockstar would then have to stereotype their fellow Europeans.

alphakennybody5453d ago (Edited 5453d ago )

south-africa johannesburg or sao paulo, perfect settings. From the gutter town life to the city life.

mrv3215453d ago

That could be very interesting, a colonised Mars in which you arrive as a middle class businessman after being processed by the regional government you soon go to your jobs which is a accountant the police plant drugs in your apartment as you discover some missing money by the government. You are forced to go into hiding into the lawless areas of the city know as the slums in which the people from different nationalities from Earth have set up shop to sell drugs and guns. The guns are pretty average, you have some more futurisitic weapons like the Striker, the main advancement are the electric cars and aircraft. Your goal is to clear your name and support the opposition of the leader of the government.

That could be an interesting thing and justify stuff like how to cannot leave the city.

Arnon5453d ago

lol'd pretty hard. Bub's+

mrv3215453d ago

Red Faction plus Batman plus a modern Conspiracy film.

If that didn't sell you on the idea I really don't know what much more I can do.

Kingdom Come5453d ago

Vice City seem's about right, its been too long, I would however enjoy a Liberty Citybased title again. (I think its the best GTA Location)

Milk...get your milk...and so much more. Really when you release the same games in three editions over 15 years it's amazing how much money, and the amount of sales you earn. It's amazing how no one can compete.

Mr_cheese29d ago

To be fair, no many companies could release the same game over and over. They've earned that whether we agree or not

DarXyde29d ago

I mean Resident Evil 4 has had longer legs and still hasn't done anything like this.

Profchaos29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

GTA v isn't the only game that's released three consoles generations running but nothing has sold those numbers including GTA San Andreas which is now 4 console generations deep.

anast29d ago

Looks like a 2040 release for GTA6

gold_drake29d ago

thats insane right?
absolutely insane

rlow128d ago

No surprising considering that it’s been on every major platform and store.

I decided to look up the longest and most sold games list. To my surprise Tetris has takes the top spot.

I mean, considering the amount of time between the two. It better be a massive upgrade. Especially with the amount of money Rockstar raked in from GTA Online.

MDTunkown36d ago

Most of scenes are pre rendered

andy8536d ago

Literally none are. If you know anything about rockstar they don't do that. Confirmed by themselves that this is all in-game

MDTunkown36d ago

Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?
Rockstar told 50% are cutscenes and rockstars always used better models during cutscenes than in game.
You legit seems to know rockstar very well.

andy8536d ago (Edited 36d ago )

It didn't though? And neither did RDR2. In fact it was actually the opposite. What's with the hate boner? If you don't like it just avoid the topic

InUrFoxHole35d ago

Why don't either of you provide proof. This is just a he said, she said argument at this point

generic-user-name36d ago

You're either lying or just don't know what pre rendered means. Pre rendered means that if you change the character's appearance (clothes, accessories etc) they wouldn't show up in the cutscenes because they were already made and aren't being rendered in real time. This is something that doesn't happen in Rockstar games.

"Is that why first gta5 trailer looked better than the final product? Or is that why same happened with rdr2 ?"

In fact some of the scenes in RDR2 looked better in the retail version than at launched.

anast36d ago

The OP is taking the shot-gun approach: say a bunch of random tripe and see if something sticks.

repsahj36d ago

Damn! GTAV graphics are still awesome! But, I am so excited to play GTA6!!!

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Profchaos49d ago

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto49d ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

FortWaba49d ago

Trash article and trash website.

Doesn't even mention WHEN it's leaving.

gold_drake48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

so i looked cause i was curious, its still avaliable to me.

the headline is misleading asf.

also, how did no one report this. the editing is horrendous. they'd have my arse for this ha

gamerz48d ago

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?

Shiore2u48d ago

There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?
