BrownBear Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 2. Ever been to the Lowlands of Scotland? Interestingly, that's where Rockstar is from. Northern England ain't to pretty either. UK gets like what? 130 murders a year with over 10 million people? Sounds safe to me Do you want me to buyyou a plane ticket to London, and then a bus ticket to Angell town estate, Brixton. When youre there go up to anyone with pdc tattoos on their neck and say to them, we americans are tougher than you. Try. vice versa, how about some london "crips" go down to crenshaw with a blue flag, and lets see if they dont get shot the f*ck up. See i can play that game too There are no fake crips in London you retard. go to peckham. Thats all i can say. Kwandilibro: you seem to get it.

Knife Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Nothing anything anyone has said in this topic matters! GTA DOES NOT reflect real life. There is no GTA set in New York, it's set in Liberty City. The location is BASED off a real location. If location X's crime isn't very high, who says that means GTA cannot be set there? GTA is a game where a guy goes around hijacking helicopters, blowing up cars and constantly killing people without punishment. Is this an accurate reflection of crime in New York?

Just because a city has a high crime rate doesn't mean it can't be set there. It'll be cool if the next GTA was based in a suburban-like setting, or something.

GTA is a game where a guy goes around hijacking helicopters, blowing up cars and constantly killing people without punishment. Is this an accurate reflection of crime in New York? remember one thing i posted way back. it shwed stats for murder rates, one of which was new york city. NYC's murder rate actually isnt that bad, and besides the ghetto areas, is a fairly safe city, but look how rockstar blew it up to make it more violent. but that doesnt change one impending fact: like mot games, gta is primarily designed for american kids who buy it, although it really isnt fair. so if american kid wants vice city, then vice city it is. its not fair but thats how it works. no ofeense to the brits or anyone else thats just life That doesnt mean gta should be in a suburb, it should at least have some crime or else its boring Edited March 16, 2010 by Kwandilibro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally Back on topic to what it is supposed to be about, GTA V (not gangs) A suburban area would be a nice change. It could have huge mansions and sports cars and everything, would be pretty cool. What happend to all the speculation about Bogota, did i miss something because it just suddenly died down. I still think Bogota or VC should be next, but include the Miami suburbs in the new game if it's set in VC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova69_7 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Just read this whole thread from start to finish.....that is 10 minutes of my life I sadly will never get back Aaanyway: Grand Theft Auto is traditionally a parody of America...you could almost call it a British piss-take of the American way of life. However that doesn't mean it has to be set there forever. Bogota would be a perfect setting to break away from the GTA tradition...they could link it in some way to America of course they could...even make the protagonist American going down to a Bogota-based city and that would still be traditional and new at the same time. Someone has even pointed out that a Houser said they may well be looking toward expanding away from America. An American setting is always great but I don't think the series needs to stay there at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSeas Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 To be honest, when GTA moves away from the states I feel that it would be better for the series if London was used before anywhere else. Why? Because Britsh and American culture are fairly similar, it would allow for a smoother transition and is different to give the series a new feel.

Lazy Squirrel PT Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 The only thing keeping GTA in America is the parody, but they could do it anywhere in the world... wouldn't be the same though. Especially not in Bogota. Am I the only one that doesn't want GTA set there? What's so special about that place anyway? I don't want them to waste a whole GTA smuggling drugs in some barely known city. One mission could be ok, but still seems random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dstrickt Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) I still think Bogota or VC should be next, but include the Miami suburbs in the new game if it's set in VC. I still think VC is going to the the next GTA. Either that or Bogota, but I'm not so sure about Bogota, cause I swear that most of the missions will deal with drugs. But it might have a great storyline... I feel that it would be better for the series if London was used before anywhere else. Why? Because Britsh and American culture are fairly similar, it would allow for a smoother transition and is different to give the series a new feel. I never played GTA:London, but it would be cool if the next GTA was in there. I agree, its a more smoother transition, and it'll be alot more accepting other than if the next GTA was in Afghanistan, or somewhere we barely hear of, like Guam.

RomanViking Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 if they insist on keep it in the US, they should do San Francisco or Las Vegas. They were not represented well in San Andreas. Compared to the real things, they were nothing. Empty and un-detailed is a massive understatement. Las Venturas had no mind-bogglingly vast, interconnected casinos. And San Fierro didn't even have Twin Peaks, Coit Tower, or Golden Gate Park! Outside the US, London would be my first choice; as the noteworthy parts of Tokyo seem to be too visually complex and crowded to be possible really...

Kwandilibro Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 i think if gta trys a new city, it should be detroit, then london. but first we need VC and SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanViking Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I'm against them redoing all of San Andreas. They can't do a representation of an entire state/region and make each neighborhood of each city well done. One incredible, wonderfully vibrant and believable city would be more than enough. Making a gameworld so huge always results in either loss of detail, repetition, or the developers overusing randomly generated landscape. I feel that GTA should do it's own thing; with a smaller but 10x as detailed/believable gameworld. Just Cause 2 will have airplanes, skydiving, massive world, and a grappling hook for San Andreas antics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova69_7 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I will fully admit that when I heard that IV was going to be set in Liberty City (New York) I did find myself being slightly dissapointed that we were going somewhere that had been done quite a few times already. I'm sure that is how quite a few people would react if the next location was a Bogota-based city. Then again I was blown away with what they did with IV and my dissapointment went away completly...and again I'm sure that would be the case for those that don't wish for Bogota. I'm sure the story will be electrifying, no doubt drugs-based but still great. @ O2fishera: I like the idea of London and it being a more smooth transition toward getting us out of America...I think many people would accept London as the next setting as it has already been a setting for a GTA and from there we can go other places such as Paris or Tokyo.

Dstrickt Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 ^^ Ok, seriously, shut the f*ck up and get the f*ck out. All you want to do is flame, troll, and start arguments, even though you STARTED the topic. Just when the topic started to get back to normal, you come back and start this BS all over again. If you have nothing to contribute but your "facts" and "knowledge", I really suggest you shouldn't comment. Just watch and let the topic live on. Or let it get locked. Its your choice.

Suction Testicle Man Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I think we're done here. There's nothing to discuss other than the OP's 'facts', just like the last hundred incarnations of this topic that demand a US setting because crips are so cool and Europe is gay. If at first you don't succeed, you fail, and the test will be terminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
