What is GTA? Good question. At its heart it is basically just a satirical, action-adventure shooter with lots of vehicles, characters and missions, usually wrapped up in a convoluted and far-fetched story.

 

So tell me where any of that demands this "realism" you keep banging on about? It has always bordered on being an absurd parody of a game, and just because you recognise the pastiche buildings and environments presented it doesn't change that. Nor would it if Rockstar took the game either backwards or forwards in the timeline they use.

 

In fact, the most 'real' it went was probably GTA4, and for me, that instalment was as dull as ditchwater.

 

So yeah, I think  definitely as a GTA title, Rockstar could pull it off. As long as the core gameplay elements were there, it could work.

 

And if you were here, this is what you would get for calling me dumbass lol

It is modern open world SEMI realistic crime game. This is what gta is. 

It is always realistic...I am really tired of explaining it to you birdbrain. You can figure it out yourself. 

Not dull as your comment. 

A kick won't be enough to take me down, and I am Ertan Soner you can't touch me DUMBASS lol.

So no. I think NOT as a gta title. Will not work and I could begin to work at rockstar just to stop that from happening. So forget about it.

Watch out! We got an internet tough guy here!

 

Seriously though, relax. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

 

You like realism in your GTA, Big Molio likes a more over-the-top GTA, and I like both equally.

 

To each their own. It's not like any of us actually work at Rockstar and can influence how the games are made. The best we can do is just daydream and talk about it online.

You work at Rockstar....and I'm the Prime Minister of Ireland.

 

If you really were an employee of the company and been in touch with Dan Houser, you probably would be working and not wasting time complaining on the internet.

Would love to see a multi-location game. I'd hate to see the US aspect disappear altogether, but I'm sorta dying to see what they'd do in a European setting like Paris or Rome.

Best case scenario would be getting some hints towards GTA VI later this year..but that's too optimistic. I think they will want to milk RDR2 online more

Whilst I appreciate the effort you have gone to with this sardonic little diatribe of yours, it counters arguments I haven't even made.

 

Let's not forget that this game already has flying cars, flying bikes, TRON bikes, laser weapons, alien suits, a UFO, post-apocalyptic vehicles and clothing, and underground facilities, so you asking for them in that facetious manner is rather redundant.

 

I didn't mention any kind of interplanetary game with zombies or Darth Vader either. What I do think that Rockstar might be good at if they were to bring it as a GTA instalment is a GTA: 2099 for argument's sake, an episode of their franchise set in a dystopian, cyber-punk interpretation of a city. You would still be a criminal, there would still be police, and there would still be an abundance of vehicles, missions, clothing, customisation and everything else that goes with it. It would still form the same core GTA gameplay that we are familiar with.

 

Think, Blade Runner, Judge Dredd, Crackdown, Akira, Dark City, Escape from New York / LA - that kind of thing.

Judge Dredd especially (the comic strip) was jam packed with humour, satire, grotesque and interesting characters like Chopper, the Fatties etc Rockstar would be good at bringing that kind of irreverent, observational humour to a title such as this.

 

A massive, mulit-levelled, vertical mega-city with street level and high level action going on, surrounded by a map made up of outlying towns, settlements, deserts, an ocean, some mountains and all the other things to go and explore. It wouldn't be too far away from what we have now, just a different aesthetic.

Most of that goofy OTT sh*t is GTA:O which shouldn't count. Rockstar only added that to keep the 13 year olds who play that game happy and also for more shark cards profit. They aren't dumb enough to turn the SP part into dumb sh*t like Saints Row.

 

A futuristic GTA would lose everything that made it unique. GTA is all about current day america or iconic era's of America before that (like the 80's). All the references, satire, realistic feeling in terms of cities (they are all based on the most well known American cities) or even weapons etc. is part of it's identity. Get rid of that and we get a generic IP that barely has anything to do with the franchise

 

 It would be fine as another IP, like Red Dead but it wouldn't fit GTA.

There would be no reason that a future-set GTA would not use satire, references, a realistic feeling in terms of a city that you would recognise albeit a future version, and have weapons which could still be ballistic based using bullets. There is no reason that they couldn't use completely recognisable, if not slightly futuristic versions, of vehicle makes from the game that everybody knows. 

 

Futuristic does not automatically have to equal goofy. Rockstar could transfer their particular USP for GTA to that setting and make it work. I believe so anyway.

Except a futuristic GTA would no doubt bring it's own lore with new technology etc. it would be your typical invented future "history". One of the parts that I like about GTA is that in terms of settings and references it's based on reality. Like VC and SA are based on iconic era's while the last two deal with present day America. I just think this way it will become generic.

 

You are right that futuristic doesn't mean it will be goofy like GTA:O but it still won't feel like GTA. I say stick to the present or do a period piece again. I would recommend looking out for Cyberpunk 2077, it's an upcoming RPG that will likely deal with stuff that you want

I would have been interested in Cyberpunk 2077, but I understand that it is 1st person only, and I am not a fan of them.

 

I think the reason that I advocate the idea is because Rockstar's humourous, biting commentary of American culture reminds me very much of the Judge Dredd comic strips in 2000AD, of which I am a fan. That type of satire and often grotesque, outlandish characters were done very well, and I think Rockstar would pull that kind of thing off.

 

I am not so much championing any old futuristic game, but Rockstar's particular GTA flavour being added to such a game.

It has been SO LONG since we've seen Vice City.

 

We need Vice City because Weasel can CONSTANTLY be saying all kinds of crazy things "florida man" did and there can be all kinds of crazy crimes going on around the city you may or may not witness yourself.

 

Florida Man is like, a great choice for a protagonist.

 

We didn't have Florida Man back then.

Well, to be fair, GTA IV didn't provide that, and it was greatly acclaimed. It's not like EVERY new GTA game should try to be the next San Andreas.

Yeah it's just First person only, I would have preferred third person too but it's not necessary.

 

I get your point. I just think it would be better for a new IP like RDR (imagine if they made RDR a GTA game instead, wouldn't fit either) which retains the classic Rockstar style but still has enough new elements for a new IP.

But the horse has bolted, and if Rockstar aim to repeat the success and longevity of the current GTA with the Online element to follow the story, the map will need to provide greater variety than that which I think a Vice City set game can offer.

[6fangedcutthroatTV]

If they did Miami, Atlanta, and New Orleans, it could be very varied. Also, there are lots of different terrain in the areas around Miami.

 

I would be very happy with another Liberty City just double the size on both dimensions tbh. It doesn't need mountains and all of that. That's what we get in SA based games.

I think a city-only game environment will be unpopular. The mountains, rivers, forests etc provide a welcome variety from the city.

[6fangedcutthroatTV]

The ironic thing is that multiple mountains in V are stamped from the same tool and then edited a little bit. Which makes sense, I mean, especially out there, the hills and mountains can all look the same. It's so much unused space, though. Think of the whole range on the east side of the map - a yoga mat, a bobcat spawn, and some small radio tower thing. And then the biomedical facility that it's also like, why is that even there? It's like an artificial bigness.

 

I will say, that is only half of the story - in reality, just as much as I would be okay with another, much bigger, more detailed, much better looking Liberty City, after that, I would want a San Andreas with all of the things that are great about V, and the other two locations. The SF and LV and the types of areas surrounding those.

 

I can't agree that another Liberty City would be a bad thing. As much as I do like GTA V and appreciate the advancements it has made, there were steps backward, and in terms of the map, it just felt artificially large. Like the locations were modeled and then patched together quickly. The city is okay. The roads are a bit wide, but that's LA. It makes sense. Everywhere else, though... It's like you make the sea and surounding areas. You make a military base. A bio lab. Slap some hills and mountains between it. It just doesn't hold up in my memory the same way IV's map does, but doesn't mean the next pass on SA won't. GTA IV's map holds up really well, but only because you can't scrutinize it as easily. The things you can scrutinize are legit problems, like the look of the trees, even the close-range models. The lighting in general. IV map holds up good in the mind, but V's map will hold up, even wasted space and all, for years to come. But Liberty City has so much detail that was low render quality, I would like to see a new one, of all the places, over and over tbh.

 

We have yet to really see a truly gorgeous liberty city, and I think we really have yet to see a really coherent san andreas.

 

Even though this video came out before GTA IV, it always looked like Lost and Damned, and the cars chosen, and the character model/outfit, the way that ped runs away super-human speed like the old gen GTA ped you would encounter from time to time, the ones that would spook from a car horn and scoot as fast as possible. Then, when the tone changes, it reminds me of GTA V, with the armored trucks and the convertible and the whole tone changed:

edit: yeah, see that, we go from new york, to at the end, the "lost and damned stand-ins" there are riding in a pyramid with the California Highway Patrol bikers. He even gets a purse back like you do in GTA V. lol. It's like Coke was inspired to make the commercial by GTA, then the next 2 GTA's were inspired by the coke commercial or something. Like, playing IV and V back to back is like watching this commercial to me, but that wasn't the point, the point is that, it can be so awesome now compared to what we got on Xbox360/PS4 and even what came to PC for IV. Look how nice V is (even if i don't like the way the countryside is used/unused in my eyes).

 

 

 

Point is, neither of those games have looked that good yet, in some ways they've both looked better - some aspects, some pieces of the whole. But I feel like "now", and after seeing Red Dead 2, and other current games with large natural worlds, they are all very samey and the quality is great, but they are still samey. It would be nice to see that stuff put on the backburner to be evolved, while the scope of the game is made "a city" again, so we can see the graphics pushed further in a more focused scope, rather than seeing the same level - or less - pushed out of more of the same. edit: example of samey is like, I think CoD went futuristic to give the realistic stuff a break to evolve, now we got WWII and MW4 might be coming, it will look way different from MW2 like WWII looks way more real than CoD5 or older CoD did. I want to see it iterated.

 

I definitely want more, bigger worlds, with cities to travel between - no more one-city-games.

 

But if they gave me another Liberty City, bigger, denser, take some tips from ENB Series guy, yeah, I would be okay with that. After 6 years, I'd be okay with a Trilogy Remaster Remake (more polished gameplay with maps remastered but the same). Something. At this point, it's like, man, they aren't resting the series, they are burying it. There must be an announcement soon. 6 years is a long time, it'll be that in september. Maybe it's taking so long because it will be multi-climate and a new paradigm for the series.

Nah there is no need for Liberty City again, IV already did a great job with it anyway. We need a HD version of Vice City and then maybe something new like Chicago would be more interesting imho

Berlin in the early 90s would be fantastic. crazy place at this time

Capitol City. A GTA in DC would be cool.

 

Or Carcer City reimagined as Detroit. That'd be even cooler. American cars galore.

Which is fortunate for you.

 

Who says that a future-set title has to go the same way as Saints Row? This is what you seem to be confused with. A neo-noir, future Los Santos and surrounding areas for example doesn't have to be the neon tomfoolery of Saints Row. Why can't it be more like the presentation of say, "Dredd" ? Or the Old Detroit type of background that we saw in "Robocop" ?

 

It can still be grimy, gritty, have bullets and not lasers, have cars with wheels, and cars without. Hell, they could even be futuristic takes on brands like DeClasse, Pfister, Grotti. You would still be a criminal, and the police would still take a dislike to your criminal activity. You are arguing against an argument not even being made. 

 

I think they may well have a stab at it at some point. Rockstar do historical era set games pretty well (see RDR2 or maybe even LA Noire) so it's not a massive stretch of the imagination that they could do something with a future / near future timeline still within the GTA format. In fact, the content we are getting for Online makes that idea ever more plausible I would say.

 

 

Yeah, I doubt that would be tge next GTA. Rockstar's goal is to satirize U.S. From past and present not future. I meam you can't satirize a generation that is yet to come right?

I disagree. Judge Dredd, Futurama, Red Dwarf etc etc - all those and more have had elements of satire and comedy that poke fun at recognisable elements but in a future setting.

True. And I am aware of that but rockstar seems to satirize U.S. In terms of past and present. However, if they do make that a next scenario then that would be a first imho opinion tho. 

[JupeShot92]

I really like the idea of a new GTA set in London. You'd begin the game living in a dingy flat in a big eyesore tower block or maybe the spare room of your nans bungalow or something. You'd start out strictly small time doing stuff like stripping copper wiring and selling it to scrapyards, stealing car stereos, mugging people for their phones, wallets, jewelry etc. and selling them to fences. Maybe selling some drugs kinda like the drug dealing side missions in GTA: Chinatown Wars. Maybe you sell ectasy to EDM kids in nightclubs or whatever. You could even get up to a bit of football hooliganism on the weekends. And then you'd start making contacts and moving up the criminal ladder. Maybe the fence puts in contact with a chop shop and you start selling them stolen cars. Maybe the owner of one of the nightclubs asks you to work the door for him and maybe he's also a loan shark and you'd start collecting debts for him. Eventually your drug supplier would ask you to work security on a big drug deal that will go wrong and you have to fight your way out of there. And after proving yourself as a capable fighter maybe you'd be invited to take part in a bank job and eventually start doing assassinations. Maybe they send you over to Spain to kill some old retired expat gangster. 

 

My second choice would be North Yankton. It could be like GTA: Fargo. I need some more time to think about what you'd get up to in that one though.

I really like the idea of London or Paris. I'm afraid it will be a city in the usa again
