Two negative comments was all I had to get rid of this. Nevermind this post.

 

Edit: Still I will not bring back the idea but in teh 1890s there were cars idiots.

Hmm, ok then no 1890 gta.

Your seriously going to listen to those retards? I mean it does sound bad but try to make it BETTER. Come up with a great idea and publish it to the public and see what WE think. Don't just give up because some 2 retard's were like:

 

 

NO.... JUST NO.... -_-

 

I wanna hear what you got man. Come up with a great idea and show us. Just don't do it in the 1800's..

1890 Is to far back In IMO but a fan made topic would be interesting. Bring something new to the table.

Definatley not GTA but a game like this would be great, i'd set it in London.

[Kwandilibro]

It should be really simple. There were no cars, so how could it be GTA. There's no "auto". Maybe for an RDR like spinoff, but definitely not GTA.

lalw that is funny.

 

1. Never said it that way

2. It is grand theft AUTO, back then nearly no one had an CAR wouldnt that be stupid?

something like chicago in the 1920's would probably be quite good but then again isn't that la noire

LA noire is set in 40's Los Angeles...

[bobgtafan]

That's why we have games like Red Dead and LA. Noire to be set in earlier time periods. If you want a game set in the 1890's go play Red Dead it's set only 20 years later. I doubt GTA will ever be before the 50's since that's when consumerisum really started on a wide scale in America.

Dude, whats it gonna be called Grand Theft Horse???? There weren't even any cars back then.

Technically, yes, there were. Motorcycles, too.

 

It could work, but it probably wouldn't be very good. Anything before the end of WWI wouldn't be industrial enough.

Dude cars were invented in 1910. And even then, they weren't really mass produced until the 40s.

the first car was designed in the 1870's, and the first CAR race was in 1901.

I would have loved to read what you had in mind for an 1890's GTA. Oh well.

The discussion of "Historical GTAs" is not new, and now and then people come up with threads like this, asking opinions about a 1890 GTA, a Middle Ages GTA, or even an Ancient Rome GTA.

 

Naturally, such games couldn't be called "GTA", but historical GTA-like free-roaming open-world games would certainly be fabulous. Actually, take the Assassin's Creed games - they're very much like historical GTAs. And they sure are fabulous.

And if by "1890s GTA" you were thinking about cowboys and stagecoaches, you have Rockstar Games' Red Dead Redemption, which I hear it's fabulous as well, and its game mechanics are probably similiar to GTA (I figure).

 

(side note to OP: if you are so touchy a person, maybe you shouldn't hang around Internet forums...)

That is true - Assassin's Creed utilizes many of the same mechanics as Grand Theft Auto, being a sandbox game, so there's certainly a possibility that, if as many possibilities as are available are utilized for the sake of the gameplay, a GTA game set between the beginning of the production of the Model T up until the beginning of WWII could be rather good, if the atmosphere is done correctly - anything in the decade past that is Mafia territory and past that is simply GTA set in a recent decade.

I just couldn't believe this topic is not locked yet. 1890s would not be a right period for GTA for a few reasons:

1. Cars or motor vehicles was not that proficient at the period. It can't be a GTA if there is no cars
2. R* already produced a game based a similiar period and it is called Red Dead Redemption (RDR). So what's the point of R* producing two similar games. Wouldn't it be stupid of them?

Just request a bloody lock for this topic FFS.

Seriously, it's a matter of choosing a period after extremely rapid industrial growth, i.e. WWI or WWII. Before WWI, there's no real chance of pulling off the GTA gameplay (i.e. vehicular - the sandbox can still be created)
