Why does GTA: NeXt have to be in a city?

[socal000]

Why does everybody need their next GTA to be in a city? Yes, it's nice and more open and more people and traffic. and yes, I want a city too, but I got to thinking that there are also plenty of small towns that still have high crime rates. Maybe something nice would be a little village in New Hampshire, that has a town square, hotels around it, condos, houses, and camp sites, as well as a forest and a ski resort. This place has all types of weather, snow, hail, thunderstorms, but this place does also have drug dealing and murders in the woods. And, this place does also have a gang, but since it's so small it is a pretty poor excuse of a gang.

 

Now, before somebody mentions this, what I said is not an idea or a plan for a next GTA, but just a discussion.

country side would be fun, blasting squeirls with RPG-7 while drive-by with pickup truck.

Because it would be ridiculously small, unless there were a few town all connected, but still the storyline would be a little boring, quick that man stole a box of coco pops, and so on
