Let's say they went back to the old ones

Neither. If we had to visit a city we'd seen before, I'd prefer Rockstar to focus their attentions on London. If not London, then either Las Venutas or Los Santos as separate titles; rather than apart of San Andreas State.

[Straznicy]

I think there has to be a shift away from a sprawling metropolis for the next title, and VC and SA both provide these opportunities. I reckon it's too soon to see SA again, so I'd anticipate VC out of the two.

[noVa]

vice city the last one the combat truely worked properly.

 

but my opinion is clouded by my very fond memories of the past hundred thousand years having stubby wars in MTA:VC

[Flesh-n-Bone]

San Andreas, the west coast is always first.

[The Stoneman]

San Andreas but a more detailed/larger version of one of the cities and countryside... Not the whole state.

[Exitiumx]

Well I remember a comment by someone from R* (I think it was Dan Houser)

 

He said "Our games aren't getting any smaller."

 

So if they did go with one of these two - either they'll expand vice city or go with San Andreas and stretch it out a bit more (I hope)

 

Personally, I hope they bring back the jets, tanks, parachutes etc. Online would be so much fun <3

[GTA-UK-NEXT]

Well London and tokyo go before these two any day. Well if i had to choose vice city is nothing compared to sanandreas and i think your dumb if you think not.

[Exitiumx]

The only thing I never liked about vice city is that it was way to small. If they made it bigger... hell, i'll give it a shot ;D

That may have something to do with the size of Miami in comparison with the joint sizes of Los Angeles, San Fransisco and Las Vegas. San Andreas was bigger for a reason. Stop using the fact that Vice City is small, as a way of making it seem like less of a better place. It's quality over quantity, not the other way around. Though in this place you wouldn't be able to tell.

[downfall94]

Well coming from a person whos perspective on what makes a great gta and what spoils it is totally off from most peoples this wont matter much to you guys, but I think vice city was better. I was surprised that its winning.

[BigAmericanTitties]

both are good, but ill say san andreas. but dont want the whole state, just one city (especially las venturas, wit the big casino bosses and mafia properties there)

Quantity is important as well. People want GTA to be a game where it takes ages to get boring of after you completed the story (though in the next GTA, they'll probably give you more stuff to do after you do the storyline) but in VC, you'll get so used to it so fast, the map will end up being boring.

 

Thats the thing with San An, I went more places and found more things to do. I found that more difficult in VC.

Consider San Andreas as the location of the next setting of GTA - I chose this over Vice City as quite a bit of a 'meeny-miny-mo' choice, really - even though they have already been done, both locations still have potential as a setting that was unvisited in the last-generation format. Vice City, as we all know, is based on Miami - a city famous for its beaches, climate, its depiction in television shows and films like both 'Miami Vice' and Miami Vice, and the hotels and developments along Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue, each one of which tries to be better than the next.

Now, the true reason why I chose San Andreas was because of what it could offer over IV's Liberty City - not one city, but three. Just imagine the detail of Liberty City, with all of its alleys, its road design, its homeless 'communities' and its people; all carried over to three cities. This would effectively carry over the quality and smear it on the quantity.

 

Then there are other things too, that would make a return to San Andreas quite, quite viable. Things like the internet of Liberty City - if you think about it, LC's internet was really quite 'Liberty City-centred', but I am not criticising it at all. Back on track, a new San Andreas not only would be able to have its own internet service, but each city would be able to make its own contribution, if that makes sense.

As for the countryside, I believe fears concerning it to be a 'waste of space' are not entirely accurate. Dead spaces will no longer feature in a GTA title, but dead spaces differ from countryside don't they? If it can be made lively - this should not be hard to achieve nowadays - then a move to San Andreas would not be a problem.

Who ever said they would be forced into all three cities. If anything; The renditions of LS, SF, and LV will most likely be released as individual settings. I saw the lack of advertising of "San Andreas" as a whole, but more of Las Venturas and San Fierro.

[The Stoneman]

San Andreas and when you go to the airport you can get a flight to and from Vice City.

 

End of discussion.

[JamalG]

San Andreas...

 

just cause SA was better than VC in my view, plus they VC had two games (VC & VCS) while SA only one

[agent17]

VC was tiny.

Size has nothing to do with your decision.

 

Personally I prefer the Miami in the '80s feel. If they do in fact remake Vice City I would like to see some outskirt regions, like swamps.

 

Grand Theft Auto should no be limited to just the city environment.

[KevinR1990]

I voted for San Andreas - but only one of its cities and some surrounding countryside, not the whole state. I feel that Vice City has been overdone, especially with the '80s setting. San Andreas, however, has only featured in one game, and while it's too big for the entire state to make a next-gen return, any one of its cities has the potential to be expanded on as Liberty City was in IV. For Los Santos, you could have Malibu, Orange County, the San Fernando Valley, the Inland Empire, and even Palm Springs, with the Mojave Desert and the mountains north of LA as the countryside areas. With San Fierro, you have the vast Bay Area to draw inspiration from. Las Venturas doesn't have as much room to expand, as most of the important areas of the city were already covered in SA, but it could still have desert areas, the Hoover Dam, and Area 69.

[HugoMarques]

Of course Vice City and San Andreas are going to be back. It's inevitable. Only not now! It's too soon.
