Gta iv (4) ?

[chargr67]

Hi,

 

  There is alot of talk about the next GTA already. Even an online version of GTA. I would like to hear your ideas for the next GTA. I hope we can PIN this so that rockstar will see what the people want so they can make a better GTA as they did with Vice. It maybe alittle early for some people to even think about the next one but some of us are looking to the future, witch is ok.

 

This is "My Theroy" for the next GTA.....

 

GTA IV (4)

 

Location: San Andreas

Era: Now (persent time of release*)

Online: Yes**

 

Short Overveiw: The game would follow the trend of the past games(missions style, levels, and game engine). San Andreas would follow the trend of the games using the levels from GTA 1 as they are. new cars new wepons..ext.

 

*Era now: becasue alot of people didnt like Vice because your playing the past. One of the things that made GTA III so great was it seem'd as though the world kept going when u left and it seem'd that the date in real life and in the game was the same. For "some" of us its a mental thing and that ruins Vice, But Vice is still awsome in its own way.

 

**Online: To not ruin the game as a hole it would have to be the same style of game + online mode as a hole different thing. That way if u dont have a Network Adapater you will still want it. It would have to be Broadband only becasue of how much stuff there would be to load. Modes like: Death Match, Mission Challenge, and Free Roam would be a must. Imagine, 16 players in the hole city roaming around, hanging out, creating massacers, and doing missions from one player mode. theres still alot more that would have to be work'd out but this is just my idea.

 

 

I think that would work out great what do u think?

 

if u think im talkn about GTA 4 to early please dont not post.

 

 

 

 

p.s. PLEASE PIN THIS!    Thank You

Well I agree with your points, except about the place in time.

 

The thing I don't like about GTA3, and love about Vice is what year they are set in. To me, present day, especially in an urban city, can only remind me of like slums, and pure evil.

 

But the past is innocent, and it's great to just cruise down a sunny highway in the 1980s, or 70s for that matter. I don't know, there is just something I hate about present day, and especially the future.

 

I just think (and I've heard soem other people suggest it too) that IV should take place in San Andreas in the 70s. I think it should be early 70s too, circa 1971.

[chargr67]

i love vice im just saying SOME ppl didnt like the feel of it and i can understand both sides. it was a a hard desision but i felt that present time would benifit all the best.

[SmurfsAreBackAgain]

no present, no 70s. gots to be 1920's or 30's. be better that way

You hit the nail on the head there mate.

 

Has anyone ever thought of a gta in the same timezone as Mafia?

 

That WOULD be koolio.......

[Schwoky]

I think that it will take place in San Andreas but it will be in the future, like GTA2 was. The console version will not have multiplayer but the PC Version will. I'm not sure why anyone would want to have a GTA game with the quality of GTA:VC or better multiplayer on the PS2 (or any other console for instance). Playing a high detail game with 32 or 64 other people on a system that is the equivilant of the computer I had in 1995 would be awful. I cringe at the thought of the lag...

[Hanoverfist]

My bet for the next single player GTA would be San Andreas in the 70s, or London in the 60s (Hopefully San Andreas)

 

I think if they ever really do make a "Crime Online" it would have to be dedicated multiplayer, maybe with some off-line/singleplayer, but I doubt they'd have a single player game of this depth with it too.  Why sell 1 game when you can sell 2?

And a Crime Online game would be coolest with modern day weapons.

[Promiscuous Protesta]

I agree with Smurf. I think having the game set in the 20's or 30's would be pretty cool, kinda like a Last Man Standing kinda thing. Youd still have a lot of cool weapons like a tommy gun and of course the moltov cocktails. The only thing that would really suffer would be the car selection. I dont know how many cars were made back then, but they all look the same to me. Although it would be cool to drive a Ford Model T for a drive by  

 

You could also have a lotta good story elements set back then. Smuggling alcohol, gambling, protection. Organized crime was a lot different back then, it might put a new spin on things. It'd also be cool to have the ability to visit and tour a few different citys instead of just one like the first GTA, each one increasing in size and difficulty. I really dont think it would make a good online game profit wise or replay wise. It would just get old to see 20's and 30's scenery over and over again. For an online game recent or present time would be the best and apeal to a larger audience.

 

Just a couple of things Id like to see. Maybe a gas gauge would be cool. Like when youre running from the cops and you jack a car only to find out its about on E, or driving up and pumping a full tank of gas and just driving off and seeing the little chinese store clerk chasing after you . And although Rockstar made an effort to make the police not as biased and only coming after you all the time (a nice effort by the way) Itd still be cool to just be driving along and see a cop fly by with its lights on chasing somebody other then you for once. Anyways, just a couple of things I think would make it more realistic. Peace.  

 

But as my first post here, wanna say vice city kicks large quantities of ass.  

[chargr67]

from a companys point of veiw yes 2 games would be better but honestly do u really wanna have to buy 2 games thats $100 when they could have made 1 awsome game.

 

"I'm not sure why anyone would want to have a GTA game with the quality of GTA:VC or better multiplayer on the PS2 (or any other console for instance)."

 

^^^casue some of us dont like pc games and 16 ppl in vice would be plenty. "32 or 64 other people" that would be crazy 2 many ppl man but thats just my opinion some ppl might like that.

[chargr67]

on the ERA of the game subject...

 

20-30's: would be dope very different, but restricted

 

60's: could be cool but there would be alot of "groovy baby" and lots of colors like vice(witch is good-bad)

 

70's:i can realisticly see this happening

 

Present time: the main benifit of that is u can have every thing, u can have a tommy gun,  lazer sight machine guns, a revolver... hot rods, muscle cars, sports, and rice rockets.. u kinda get a "best of" whats already happen(the past) and whats happening.

 

but like i said they would all be cool in there own way. lol they should just do them all .

[Knightmare]

I think the best future path for the GTA series would be making another game based on the present/near future.  For one thing, it would be way better than GTA3 now that they have used more of the PS2's power, just imagine how much cooler GTA3 would be if it had some of Vice's features.  I don't think R* would want to produce another game based on the past after Vice, I think their next GTA will be the present, only using the features of Vice, plus even more.  I'm not a fan of the 80's, or 20's, or any of the past actually.  I do love Vice, and truly think that the next GTA should be a present/near future game with even greater features than Vice City.

 

Those are my 2 cents

 

 

 

knightmare takes back his 2 cents and tries to buy a hamburger

[chargr67]

sweet thanx for the 2 Cents i hope we can get more

[-Woodoo-]

i agree with knightmare - i would want the next game in present/near future 2 - if it would be in the past then there wouldnt be any 2 wheeled or much flying vehicles... not much weapons, not many tall buildings, not much boats - if the next gta would be in the past it would just be gta3 all over again with better graphics and less vehicles     -     i would want the next gta to be in the present/near future with more weapons and vehicles (the same weapons as vice too but more and also more copters and bikes like police bikes and ofcourse jetskis )

 

[Mr. Fernando Martinez]

The only choices I have in mind...would be present day or somewhere in the late-70's. The 20's-30's is kinda too kliche and Mafia has pretty much killed that era for video-gaming. Aswell, things could be very constricting...meaning no mansions, no helicopters, no RPGs, no chainsaws...it would get really boring.

 

Well, here's my idea...

 

Locations

3 cities expanding from Carser City to San Andreas to a Las Vegas-type yet to be named. (I was thinking of Las Gamblas)

 

Setting

Set in present day, I'll go into detail about each city.

 

City Details

Carser is mainly Detroitish-influenced.

San is a mixture of Hollywood, California and San Francisco.

Las is...Take a wild guess?

 

Character

You take the role of new character, who is like based upon Carlito Brigante, except younger...maybe in his mid-20's.

 

Main Story

You start out in Carser City State Prison doing jobs for an imprisoned Mob boss serving a 40-year sentence on crimes of money laundering, murder, yada, yada..to the point, the name of this convicted heavy is, Tommy Vercetti () who is in his late-50's.

 

After doing some jobs, Tommy puts his trust into you and both characters gain a solid relantionship. Tommy sets-up an escape plan for himself and he is dragging you along for the ride but, things go unexpected as only your character gets out in time...Leaving Tommy behind the bars.

 

On the outside you do missions for various gangs and whatnot, one including you to do a mission for Tommy's son...() who wants you to take a Helicopter into the Prison to break Tommy out. You get screwed somehow as like something happens that makes you leave for San Andreas.

 

Andreas is filled with Crips, Bloods, Hoodlums, Skinheads...the lot. You continue more missions here until, you reach Las Gamblas, the #1 Gambling city in the world.

 

Things like continue from there, I could go into detail with that but, I don't have THAT much time on my hands.

 

Anyway, what do you think?

[OverToaD]

I reserved mine when I bought VC, So i donno.  

[Shockwave_NewOrder]

idea's for new cities:

gta4: San Andreas (California) - current time

gta Las Gamblas : Las Vegas in the sixties

Gta5: Columbia-like city - current time

Gta Carser City: LA-like city - the nineties, this city lays close to liberty, you also meet Salvatore here

Gta: Washington-like city - maybe in the seventies

[Hater]

What about GTA Generations?  With time travel?  So you can go back in time and get your tommy gun, go to the future and get your lazer pistol, and take your delorean looking thing, and do your missions.  But your missions in the past change the future?  That would kick ass.

 

[Wheelman]

From what I've skim-read in this topic, I have to say that I think games have a certain nostalgic quality when recreating another decade. I haven't played Vice City yet, but it's obvious that it's just dripping in 80s style, glamour, fashion, and neon. It has more character becuase of it.

 

Who remembers Driver on the PSX? What made it so great? The fact that it was set in the 70s, with a funky soundtrack and massive, bouncy, overweight Yank tanks.

 

The prospect of GTA4 being set in San Andreas in the 70s is just excellent. I can picture it now - crashing and bouncing up and down the hills in an original Mustang just like in Bullitt (a film which also had a lot of influence on Driver) with the funky 70s sounds and a whole variety of muscle cars to play with. The litter and flags fluttering in Chinatown as you roar through the warren of side alleys. The trams rattling and squeaking as the trundle along the slopes...

 

If they make it, it'll be a better concept than either GTA3 or GTA Vice City.

[FunnyMoney54]

No what would be really crazy, and possible cool?

 

A GTA game set in medieval times! You have all these crazy ass swords, you ride horses, there's castles, and the such.

 

It would use the GTA engine, but would stay away from a RPG feel by not having magic, dragons, wizards, etc.

 

It would be more realistic, and you'd do missions for groups of people such as certains Kings, or people looking to revolt, etc..

 

I don't know, I doubt this would ever be made, but it might be cool..

[Promiscuous Protesta]

Man if you want a good medival game play Age of Empires II or something. Its really not a bad game at all. But GTA isnt really the right series for that genre, or else theyd have to change the whole name to Grand Theft Horsie  

[GTA4Life]

This is one reason I would like Rockstar to liscense out this engine they used for Vice City so other companies can throw their own ideas into the mix.

 

I'm telling you, this is the PERFECT gameplay engine ever seen for a new Shadowrun title based around the gameplay of the Genesis version.  One of my all time favorite video games.  It plays almost exactly like Vice City except of course without the technology of today's systems.

 

A friend of mine had the idea of setting this game back in the old west time period lol.

[earldoyle]

I personally feel the ideas are good ideas but I like mine a lot.  

It takes place in 5 years.  The world is almost the same except the mafia is how it use to be.  The location should be a big city but I cant decided which one.

The story could definetly follow the two previous ones except you kill the rival families leader.  You start as a leader of some famlily and you try to make your family the number one family.  You kill other leaders work in with the cops you know the good stuff.  So it would be a sweet ass game just a little different than teh two previous ones.

Also there must be a snow code, doesnt that sound sweet taking a turn with a car slaming into a snow bank and keep on going that would be sweet.  

This is just an idea I got, what do ya think?

[chargr67]

wow these are great ideas thanx,

 

so far i like the idea of taking turns like this

 

GTA3

GTA Vice City

GTA 4

GTA ? Ctiy

 

that way every is happy and they main part of the game is set in now and the side games are in the past, witch is how its been since the beging of GTA.

 

what about this its alittle wild but.. steal Bmx bikes sk8 boards and rollerskates and have a skate park like the arena on VC. that would rule.

they should set it in chicago, the city of true mafia gangstahz  

[vectorm1299]

MY freind suggested making a GTA WORLD where you travel from country to country doing missions (Starting at the country of your choice)

 

as you move throw the game unlocking more country's you have to pay money (cost depending on choice of transport) to get from countrie to countrie.

 

The vehicle's, roads, buildings, gangs, ect... looking like the ones from the real life countries

 

i know this is a cool idea and we spent hours talking about possable things about and in the game...

 

but i think this becoming a reality is about 10 / 15 years down the line, coz by then there will be consoles that could handle those type of graphics and will have the shear amount of memory needed for it too.

 

hope you guys like the idea...

 

from me and my friend

[Johnny The Homicidal Maniac]

The new GTA should be in the 2003 not 1920's or 30's.

Then you should work for the new mafia

[Mafia_Punk37]

i would like to see a game set today also useing the airports more like having diffrent cities with one airport in each so you could travel from city to cty without jacking a plane

 

Also i would like to see a Las vEgas cit called SIN CITY

 

So the islands i would like to see are

 

Liberty City

 

Vice City

 

San Andreas

 

And Sin City

 

i got the sin city awhile back when vice was announced since las vegas is known as sin city

[SoulSwindler]

First post, but i've been stalking everyone for about four months now, anyways, here's my sell.

 

I think the next game should take place in present day. As far as story goes along, I think your character should start off as a street thug, working for whoever has dough, doing hits and whatnot. Somehow getting recruited into the Mafia. Maybe a mission could be helping them out somehow, someone sponsers you, and you get invited into the family. (Vercetti family maybe?) Anyways, you're doing low level stuff. A soilder at first, then the game picks up from there. You could move your way up, eventually becoming a made man after a bunch of missions. All hell breaks lose with Mr. Vercetti being whacked or something. (Possibly by the Forelli's) The city, whichever one it is, is turned into a war zone with each family trying to take over, through in the other groups (Triads, etc..) And you have all out chaos. Your character's job is to eventually take control of everything. Consolidate power and rise to the top of all families. There should be more main characters, Like Lance and Rosenberg. Lots of plot turns and betrayals. Sorta a GodFather/Goodfellas type thing. I definetly think they should go more with one crew. The whole working for anyone with money thing sorta made the Fido, and even Vercetti seem cheap. In my opinion.

[BrokenMelon66]

just for you people who think it would be cool fo r* to sell the engine of VC, its already been done (sort of) i THINK (by saying "think" i am not 100% sure but i herd this from a reliable source) that mafia uses almost the exact same engine as GTA:VC but, this could and may be complete bull sh*t... dont b*tch if im wrong, im just adding to this forum..

[Discraft]

San Andreas in the 1970's would kick an infinite amount of ass
