Grand Theft Auto V: 3 Locations it Might Take Place In (and 3 it Won't)

GamePro: The fifth installment in Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto series is officially a real thing. And with the first trailer dropping next week, we speculate as to where we think GTA 5 could potentially take place...as well as where it probably won't.

I won't play a GTA game set outside of the United States.

GTA is America, and America is GTA. The whole point is that its an absurd parody of American culture.

[Dovahkiin]

I agree with your last statement, but I don't think the game being set away from the United States would bother me enough to make me not play the game.

[pr0digyZA]

Wasn't there a GTA set in London?

[Dovahkiin]

@pr0digyZA

Yes:

[phinch]

well its made by English people so i guess they can make it where they like

[Stewie2k8]

Isnt it rockstar north that develop GTA?

[TheOtherTheoG]

@Stewie2k8 - Yup. And Rockstar North are based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

[phinch]

yes rockstar north....leeds.....england

Its going to take place in the US. I think the "5" taken straight from US currency is a big enough hint.

I cant imagine GTA outside the US anyway. Its just not right.

Sure, there was London, but cmon, was the geography noticable in a 2D, top-down game from PS1?

Not really that Much of a parody.
However i wont play another GTA unless it is based in the California theme, mostly GTA : sa theme. I hate liberty city and vice city is just not cool.
Big ass map, air planes, lots of fun and etc.
However, if we finally move to somewhere completely new like south or north, I might consider purchase.
But anything even close to liberty city and I will personally kill the guys at R*

I'm personally getting sick of the same new-york. I want something new, something with flavor.
I dont care if its in America again, as long as it is not new york.

[sickshot69]

VEGAS please,

[ps3deo]

i kinda wanted it outside of the States but i read at http://gtav.com in a interview with one of the developers that they have no plans to move game outside the country. Los Angeles seems like a nice place, Vegas i wouldnt care for at all. Miami would be cool though.

[Shackdaddy836]

Detroit, Chicago, Boston, Seattle maybe, Las Vegas, LA, Houston, Dallas St. Louis.

[HebrewHammer]

Baltimore or
Flint, Michigan as well

[BrightFalls76]

It would be nice if it were set in a city where ebonics and rap doesn't rule the day. I hate black culture.

[Shackdaddy836]

That's kinda gang/street culture. Black culture is much much better. Same thing goes with Mexican culture...

[HebrewHammer]

Welcome to the US of A

[Pintheshadows]

I think it's Washington due to the five looking like an American banknote. A political and economic satire theme is definately R* bag. It would be nice to see a completely new city as well.

If not it could be set in Finchingfield, Essex, England a tiny picturesque village populated by teahouses and old ladies. That seems suspicious to me so i'm sure crime is involved somewhere.

[modesign]

im suprised GTAv; Uranus didnt make the cut.lol

[imbrawler]

Chicago because if it 5 from a five dollar bill it does have Abraham Lincoln on it so.....

[Ascalon94]

gotta be Vice City, Houston, New Orleans. anywhere but NYC or Cali.

As long as it doesn't take the gangster route I'll be happy. While I don't respect the mafia, the history and culture are a lot more appealing to me then the urban gangs.

If we're looking at cities I wouldn't mind seeing new-orleans and miami as being the hosts. New orleans could add some interesting european/french influences, where as miami is known for drugs and latin influence.

I personally wouldn't mind seeing it cross the boarder in some way, Miami-Cuba, texas-mexico(i mean they still have lots of assests from rdr they could use), Seattle-vancouver, or toronto-detroit, could be interesting twists.
