GTA IV ruins chance of going back in time?

I was just thinking. Now that we have a GTA game that makes extensive use of modern technologies such as cell phones, internet, GPS ect, does that ruin the possibility of having more GTA games that go into the past?

 

It's been fun playing in the 60's, 80', and 90's, and i always thought GTA would take it further and eventually have a game take place in the 70's or 50's.

 

But once you have players used to being able to use GPS to get from A to B, use their cell phones to make contacts and restart missions, get faux online to check their email and all that, how can you have a game take place in the past (without any of those features) and not tick people off?

 

 

Not a complaint, just an observation.

Well we could go back to the 80's, its just we'd have 2 use Maps, Boom Boxes and pink ties aaanddd *shudder* BRICK PHONES

EDIT: AND *massive shudder* IBM PC's!

 

DUN DUN DUN

Unless you have a GTA game about a guy in the future who travels back in time to the 50's or 70's or something, but that would be a little too out there...

We can play Mafia 2.

Exactly. Mafia 2 will be a cool game and it wont have any of those things.

 

GTA is not about technology you use in the game, its about making a good game in a good era and put it all together to work the best. Every era has its advantages and disadvantages. They just need to figure out how to make a GTA set in specific time period like 60s, 70s or 80s, and make it work so that we can play it and love it

I hope you're right, because i would give up the cell phone and the GPS for a chance to play in the Disco era or as a rebel biker in the 50's...
