I want Gta to move forward, not go back in time.

[GTA_Elegy]

Gta V online has the biggest selection of cars to date, but if they decide to make the next GTA story take place in the past( 1960-1990s), It would really suck for some car collectors who want to see their favorite contemporary cars in a new locale.

 

Its cool having the Torero, Comet Retro, and Cheetah Classic in V, but would  suck if they became the fastest cars in the next Gta because r* wanted to do the 80’s again

 

I personally didn’t care about cars that much in the 3D era, since they were so simple designed.But when they introduced in game vehicle brands in IV and gave us more and more detailed cars, I started to really enjoy collecting.

It's not something to worry about. We can always adapt. Remember how GTA IV removed a TON of features that San Andreas had, but was still an amazing game? It'd probably be just like that.

 

If anything, I want GTA 6 to be simple at the start. GTA Online has soooo many features and so many things to do; it's overwhelming. Some of my favorite memories of GTA IV online were gazing at the skyline and cruising around with buddies - we've lost a lot of that at this point.

 

I'd be okay with them scaling back a bit. Cars included. If you want to collect cars, stay in GTA Online.

Contemporary cars are overrated for the most part anyway. Too many computers on them, too many "driver aids", too many with crappy four cylinder engines.

GTA IV felt like the HD era of III.It went back to basics and focused on tightening the gameplay for the next gen.Gta V/ online is our HD San Andreas because they’ve  done so much to build upon their game engine.

 

I’ll adapt if they choose to go back in time, though.

[Commander S]

I'm just continually pissy about how there's cutting-edge money-sinks, there's retro-appeal classics, and ...nothing else, apparently.

 

I mean, I'm genuinely glad that R* takes the occasional break from assuming everyone in the game wants to live like a 'more money than sense' type, and gives us a well-done rendition of something like this:

 

 

 

...as opposed to something designed for the 'penthouses and luxury yachts' set, like this:

 

 

 

 

...but is there really no room for some affordable, civilian-grade fun as well, R*?

 

 

 

 

 

Collector's items and rolling displays of excess have their place, but low-key enthusiast cars need some more love, too!

[HamwithCheese]

The great thing about going back in time, is that they now gotta ad diversity in their roster they don't have now. Like, classic variants of cars on the current roster, with more detail and depth (I hope). Imagine a Blista based on a CRX, with a huge list of mods. That's whats possible for the next generation.

 

Don't be too sad if we end up going backwards. There's always a bright spot in car culture in almost any era.

[SummerFreeze]

I always thought GTA 2 had a great setting -- of course the 3D games are a lot more immersive.

 

GTA 2 was retrofuturistic. It had an awesome selection of classic cars even if they were 2D.

 

I feel like the next GTA could go that route: A dystopian futuristic setting with retro tech.

Worry not. Rockstar will never set an entire game in the past again.

[HamwithCheese]

If anything, being set in the past would force R* to try and be more grounded in terms of extra content. 

[Marciliojunior01]

Although the rumor of a gta in the past is strong, i highly doubt is going to be true. Supercars sell like water on a desert, and they don't want to get rid of that sweet shark card money. Apart from the military hardware, supercars are responsible for most of the sales in game, look at how many devestes we see in game, and setting a fixed time would make it impossible to add an unlimited number of them. 

There is also the possibility of the online component being in the present while the story mode on the past, RDO is set on a different time from the original game, and the game itself has a like 5 year gap in the story. 

 

[Cincy32]

I'm a huge car guy IRL and I want GTA to go 60s or early 70s for the next game. NOT BECAUSE OF CARS. Though I will say, American cars pre-emabargo are my favorite of all time.

IMAGINE ALL THE POSSIBILITIES IN A PRE-INTERNET/PRE-SMARTPHONE ERA. Boo-hoo, my unibody, badge-engineered, CRAP cars can't appear in-game. WALK DOWN THE STREET YOU LIVE ON. By the time GTAVI comes out there will probably be a domineering push towards self-driving cars - BORING. True, we live in a new golden era of muscle cars, hell, I own a '13 Charger SRT8 Super Bee - I love having 470 HP and matching torque on instant demand. But don't get me wrong - we have this current golden era for the simple fact that in five years or less it will be GONE - our cars will be driving us and they'll be among the most boring things in our lives.

tbh I can't understand why people are so mad about supers/hypers. Those cars are a pinnacle of automotive technology, they are extremely fast yet comfortable, feature some of the most complicated and advanced aerodynamics. Im not gonna say that more "down-to-earth" cars aren't cool. But hating on high-end cars just because "that's just the sh*t for rich people" doesn't make much sense. In GTA Online those cars are a good way of transportation for as long as you don't wanna go airborn and they are fun to drive since they are extremely fast. 

Talking about going back in time, I don't think that's gonna happen concidering that the game only moved forward in time from GTA3 to GTA5 and it would be extremely weird for them to make a game that goes back in past. Also I believe that concidering how well-made some of the newer GTAO cars are, the next gta might become a heaven for those who loved collecting cars in a recent GTAO, especially concidering they will still be able to add both classics and modern cars. Going back in time in america wouldn't be much fun. Out of fun cars we would mostly be left with muscle cars which would be the hell for euro and jdm enthusiasts.

Most people hate because some of them are ugly af. Even tho i agree with you in everything you said, and lets be real kids love their fast and furious cars and ugly hypercars (vagner, tyrant, krieger...) , i get the point of the purists who wants more nostalgic cars because the city would look better with only them.

The player base and online mechanics considered, I really doubt it's going to be set in the past.

 

I don't care, as long as it will be set in the 1969 or later, that would allow the setting to realistically include all the cars I "can't live without". Sure, some early 70's Mustangs, Torinos, etc. would be nice, but I could cope.

[tsto]

I'm a car enthusiast since early childhood and I enjoy and adore cars from all eras. Classics, Muscle, old school Imports, European Cars, old and modern alike. The only thing I enjoy doing in GTA Online anymore is building up the collection. I personally feel that GTA 6 should stick with modern times, because that allows for all the diversity of the past, present, and some near future. It has the most flexibility to offer something for everyone. In my eyes the main positive of going back in time would be to not have these oppressors and other ridiculous griefer mobiles. That's the cancer of this game.

Not "that's just the sh*t for rich people", so much as a mix of "I can only admire the technological merits of something so much when the idea of people spending millions on a luxury car is obscene" (at least to me, personally). Fair play to the Dodge Demon: it does hypercar numbers, still makes for a comfortable modern ride, and 'only' (hah!) costs around $100k with extras...

 

As for GTAO, where real-world implications don't apply, it's like my problem with everyone being expected to own an office, a casino penthouse, a portfolio of high-end properties, etc. - it's the assumption that everyone aspires to accumulate ridiculous amounts of money, and spend it in the most ostentatious manner possible. There's no room for different tastes, apparently - and that's why there are more Pegassi supers than the entire Compacts class combined.   It's just so limiting - there's no room for street-level crime, punk-ish iconoclasts, or any of that. Everyone playing GTAO is assumed to be a Devin Weston wannabe - which is ironic, considering what single-player's story has to say about folks like that.

 

I get that it's a straightforward approach to long-term progression, particularly in something like Online: start at the bottom, work your way up to the top, build an empire and wallow in the fruits of it. But it's also a bit unimaginative - and it's only one possible approach, often to the exclusion of some potentially interesting alternatives.

[Marciliojunior01]

@Commander S

Well we are six years into online, i guess rockstar had not another way to go other than make us bilionaires when the years went on. I mean they could have kept on the low criminal level of things but then people would lose interest. 

99% of people want to be extremely rich, and thats what the game offers for them, and rich people like supercars

If I personally had enough money I would buy a high-end hypercar irl, obscene or not, you are getting the best there is. While I personally love classic cars, end especially jdm, I think that much more obsene is NOT buying the hight end car when you can afford it just for the reason of it being a waste of cash.

I kinda agree with the thing of "expected to be rich", especially with all the dumb sh*t like explosive ammo on sniper rifle or the broomstick mk2 (opressor), because that sh*t is way too OP, yet you are kinda forced to have it to not put yourself at a huge disadvantage against tryhards. Talking about cars tho, I have 2 full office garages, one full house garage and a few smaller ones that I bought back when I was just starting at the game. I have about 5 supers, the rest are sport cars, sport classics, muscle cars and even offroad cars, yet I find myself using those supers most of the time. Why? Because they have huge ammounts of downforce and they don't bounce around too much when driving, because they are extremely fast and can get me around the map as fast as it is possible without going airborn. Don't get me wrong, I do like taking my other cars for a spin from time to time, but if I was any less obsessed with cars I would probably just own 1-2 cars of every class (one best max speed and one best for circuit racing) and be done with it.

 

In games like Assetto Corsa I do prefer driving low hp cars on windy roads because I honestly have much more fun, especially concidering you are not getting any speed sensation anyways. In GTA it is mostly about progression and owning the most expensive sh*t, the rest is secondary. While I would prefer if it wasn't this way, there really isn't a way around it.

[Piro]

I think they should go back in time with GTA VI-ce city since that was their best setting. 

IMO the best solution would be to start story mode in the 80s, end it with a time jump to lets say late 90s (so similarly to how they did it with RDR2)

After that they could continue with online mode by slowly progressing the timeline:
year 1 - early 80s
year 2 - late 80s
year 3 - 90s
year 4 - 2000s

and so on.

I get what you're saying but going back in time wouldn't save us from overpowered meme vehicles.

 

I mean, the Vigilante is from the 90's; the Ruiner 2000, the Deluxo and the Oppresor are based on series and movies from the 80's; the Scramjet and the Stromberg from the 70's and so on.

 

Even if the next GTA game was set in the 60's a la Mafia III, R* would still put something like the Monkeemobile but with missiles.

 

Dumb, overpowered pop culture references sells and it sucks.

This is one of the exact reasons why i'm not looking forward to the so-called "promising" future.

 

Automation may be cool in few aspects, but all this futuristic "innovative" sh*t, whether introduced in GTA or in real life - warps my perspective a ton.

Some might but a lot just like to show off they are rich and having supercars is the best way to do it. 

 

I would love a gta set in the 70s or 80s. Classic muscle cars everywhere would be a great game.
