Mr_Goldcard Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Okay, so almost all GTAs were based on a theme. GTA 3 - Mafia Vice City - Drug Dealing San Andreas- Showed us what gangbangin' was all about! GTA IV - Hitman GTA V - Heists. So, hmm.. I wonder what's the next theme? I mean they pretty much done them all so I came up with the perfect solution. Terrorism. Yup, terrorism. It's this guy that wants to get out of Al Gaida (to avoid copyright issues) and he's new to America so it actually makes you feel like you are with him in this one cause everythings new to him and you. He works fixing T.V.s but he needs the money, so he meets some terrorist buddies of him and they start blowin' sh*t up, blowin' cars up, buildings, planes, etc. etc to show MERICA' what gan... TERRORISM is all about! next time I do cyberbullying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallcreek Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Terrorism? Get outta here! America and the media would flip sh*t if that actually happened lol. Anyways, I would love to see a female protaganist in the next game ..although i'm not sure how that would go down with the community, but I feel it would be a breath of fresh air actually. ten-a-penny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarrinPA Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) OP - that's a terrible idea. If you want to see that type of violence in a video game, you're probably never going to see it anytime soon in the mainstream. It's a terrible subject to try and profit off of. The closest to this that would be grass roots violence in somewhere like Africa where civil unrest and rebel factions are attempting to overthrow corrupt political organizations. Many people here believed that the Drug Cartels [mostly mexican based] was going to be a big part of GTAV. So I guess that is still an option. It's a bit different than VC's drug related content. Other ideas could be: Politics, many GTA's have had touched on the premise. Corporate espionage, it's more common and profitable than you may think. Other than that, it's seems as if GTA is going to start reusing themes. Edited February 13, 2014 by DarrinPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algonquin Assassin Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I was pretty disappointed about the lack of vehicle theft side missions in GTA V, but I was thinking about a Gone In 60 Seconds (2000) kind of story. It's called "Grand Theft Auto" after all. Funnily enough stealing those cars for Weston in GTA V was probably my favourite part of the story. My idea would be just like Memphis if the protagonist is a retired car thief, but is towed back into the world of car theft for a foreign reason. Family emergency or he just needs the cash. Basically the main theme would be similar to how in GTA V the main theme is heists. You'd still get variety in other kinds of missions, but the main theme is a retired car thief going back to what he knows best and if R* decide bring back multiple protagonists/crews from GTA V you could organise how you approach significant moments in the story. That's just my idea. I think it would be great if the main theme was based on what the series has always been named after. Anyway there's no way they would make a theme based solely on terrorism. GTA IV touched on the paranoia surrounding terrorism at the time, but a theme where we're actually a terrorist wouldn't be a good idea IMO.

HOW'S ANNIE? Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Well there's two I would like to see actually, assuming they keep multiple protagonists. The first would be building a drug syndicate, with different protagonists from different gangs playing their own role in the drug running (think like the Loco Syndicate in SA). Or brothers, where you have two or three grown, adoptive brothers from different background coming back together for some sort of family business (similar to the movie Four Brothers).

Drunken Cowboy Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I think it just reinforces what a disappointment GTA V was considering the innumerable threads already on GTA VI And thus began the "Johnny stomping Trevor" train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOOD Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 OP,TLAD was also about Gangs (but Outlaw Biker Gangs),Chinatown Wars was about Triad and an Asian Theme.Maybe GTA 6 might be the 3rd Gang Themed Game in the Series after SA and TLAD.

Hodgey. Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I think it just reinforces what a disappointment GTA V was considering the innumerable threads already on GTA VI And thus began the "Johnny stomping Trevor" train. There was quite alot of threads about GTA V this amount of time after GTA IV came out aswell. Now look at everyone, they love GTA IV because of GTA V wasn't what the hyped it up to be in their minds. As for Johnny, I'm glad he's dead probably the one of the worst protags. ten-a-penny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughtius Maximus Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Although I'm not too much obsessed with a next-gen Vice City re-creation, I personally believe with huge amounts that the next GTA game will be set in Vice City, take the subject of drug trade, at some point will touch on fierce wars between drug cartels. And hopefully, this may be realized because I'm a huge fan of drug related crime stories, also if drug cartels is the point, I'm down. However, I always wanted a GTA that is "really" gritty, showing strong decays with every side of city: drug dealers, corrupt law enforcers, greedy politicans etc. I think the recent multi-protag system would make it obvious if it can be worked along well.

Vice City Stories did Drug Cartels but in Chinatown wars it was about Triads and there was also Drug-Dealing Activities,which was also controversy.I dont like Gangwars either in SA or TLAD but i would love to see a third Gang-Themed game in the series.

Omnia sunt Communia Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I don't think Rockstar should be afraid to reuse themes from previous games, especially if they manage to add to the old game, without just remaking the old game with the same theme. For example GTA III and GTA IV both had similar themes: You worked freelance for various gangs, without any particularly strong allegiances. GTA IV built on GTA III massively, recreating Liberty City in HD and crafting a intense story combined with loads of new gameplay features. Vice City and Chinatown Wars both featured drug dealing as a major theme but Chinatown Wars added the ability to actually buy and sell drugs for profit. San Andreas and The Lost and The Damned both focused around particular gangs/gang culture but they were so different they can hardly be considered similar when placed side-by-side. I wouldn't mind seeing another game about drug dealing using Chinatown Wars drug dealing features. Setting the game on the U.S./Mexico border would be perfect for this as you could include the powerful drug cartels from Mexico and the peddlers on the American side pushing their product. Especially if you were able to build up your own drug empire over the course of the game. TheMadTitan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Comment bro.Chinatown Wars' Drug Dealing was totally new and the same time controversy,i would love if a future GTA game implements that feature back.because alot of people (including IGN and some reviewers) loved that element and it was so addictive but unfortunately i didnt get to play,plus Chinatown Wars' Wanted System was Great.TLAD is like an HD Era Spiritual Successor to SA and yeah even though they are both Gang-Themed Crime GTAs,You wouldnt notice because SA was more about African American Gangs and the Latter was about Outlaw Biker Gangs,plus TLAD expanded on the Gang Elements in everyways (Shotgun Drive-bys,Gang Backups,Leading the Biker Gangs when riding bikes, etc).Once again Great Comment bro.

I'm not one of the people on here to tell other people that they are wrong for liking him, but for mer personally I never really felt like I connected with him as I have done with other protags. I also think that the whole biker thing put me off as although TLaD was a good and enjoyable game, I dont really like the whole biker gang thing in general.

Zello Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) I really like the Idea of building up your own organization with a drug syndicate getting drug suppliers, meeting new contacts, gaining allies and making enemies etc. But I think a good theme for a GTA game could be corruption. It would be a breath of fresh air to play as the other side of the law giving us a cop that struggles with doing the right thing or being a corrupt cop in order to feed his family and survive. It would be cool taking bribes, talking to informants and snitches, doing surveilance etc. Maybe with two characters one a cop the other a crimminal giving us a cop vs crimminal type of story or maybe they are forced to team up together and help each other out.

TLAD is the first Openworld Biker Gang Game,and it influenced alot of Clones,Ride to Hell (which was sh*tty) even alot of people want SoA game to be like TLAD.it was the first game in the series that was Biker-focused,Storywise and Gameplaywise.It introduced;Shotgun Drive-by,Advanced Gang Backups,A new Bike Physics to fit the game etc.plus that system-When driving with other Bikers a Logo shows and when entered it refills both health and armor,and then there weapon drop in safehouse.I am sure if a SOA game comes out it would be a TLAD rip-off.

na89340qv0n34b09q340 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Rockstar seems to be obsessed with the word "capitalism" lately. Maybe we'll own our own illegal trade empire next time around. Not just drugs though; imagine illegal cars, prostitutes, racketeering, all that jazz. Then a whole economic system that's affected by your input as well as AI mob boss input. You'd be able to buy assassins to attempt the life of other mob bosses, sell stuff to other gangs and build relationships with them, and they'd be out and about in random events in the city where you could also influence them, and they could all do the same to each other and you. Chicago would be a nice place to set that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
