Have to admit that, i also like lot of "fake story leaks".

What I'd give for VI equivalent of the "RUSH" casting call. Then again, that was after V's announcement, not before... so we'll still be waiting a bloody long while for a decent leak.

Poor old Filippone996 has a point. But to be honest I'm kinda happy GTA V wasn't set in Vice City, It would have been held back by those awful console hardware. Vice City with Ray Tracing is gonna look amazing!

What if the expanded and enhanced GTA 5 introduces Ray Tracing lol

[Americana]

I have an idea for Rockstar: Single Player DLC for Grand Theft Auto: Online, so everyone can play Single Player missions in Grand Theft Auto: Online!

 

No need for lousy Single Player, ain't it beautiful?

I replied in the other thread but I'll put it here too. I agree on the GTA V: 2.0. A modern setting again would be a mistake. If they do that it will start to feel like Saints Row, to me.

 

Regarding VC being similar to LS? I disagree. If that's the case we could never do Chicago as it'd be too similar to NYC. It has been done to death on here but LA is Mediterranean and mountainous. It is a huge, flat expanse whereas Miami is tropical, flat and built on islands. Miami has a greater connection to the Caribbean and criminal-wise, a greater connection to NY than LA does (in the sense of they're used to being a sizeable Mafia presence in Miami there while the LA family was much smaller). My argument is that, while 2002's VC was amazing, it wasn't done justice (it was done in just one year). Rockstar argued they wanted to do LC justice in IV (after III) and I reckon they'll argue the same for VC. Rockstar has never really focused much on Latin American crime and, after wasting this chance in V, the next best place is VC. Plus, the success of Narcos, has, to me, showed another story that could be set there that hasn't been focused on. I'll keep on saying it but for me, a Vice City set in 1989 or even 1990 as the power shifts from Colombia to Mexico will give us the grounded "GTA IV" meets Vice City that I think would be a winner. 

 

 

Ultimately we're playing a video game - everything is visual. The summery aesthetic of palm trees, beaches and blue skies immediately after we've had the same thing in Los Santos for 7 years will feel mundane and repetitive.  

 

Had they decided to set GTA V in a fictionalised Chicago, right after IV - I would be making the same argument. After IV I was elated to be going to a warmer, summery location as it was a stark contrast from Liberty City's gloomy, Autumn vibe. The point I'm making is that I don't like the idea of having back to back games set in similar locations.

True, even Ubisoft created Watch Dogs 2 in sunny San Francisco, after kind of gloomy Chicago.

Good, because Grand Theft Auto series was an American crime simulator. That's why I fell in love with Grand Theft Auto series.

 

Had it been a series about some Latin American dudes  I wouldn't be interested, at all... Just like I'm not interested in Just Cause series.

Well, if its an American crime simulator, then it should focus on the huge influence that Latin American crime has had on the US (both homegrown and imported) for the past 30 years. I thought what I meant was obvious... Let me explain further - Colombian/Mexican cartels and various Hispanic street gangs are the one of the major "features" of US crime that they have not led with yet. 

 

@Orbea Occam point taken. I understand the argument about the weather and the theme and I partially agree. But if we go down that route then we divide everything into two binary options of cities and then it becomes stale real fast. For me, if they had VI in Chicago it would feel too similar to IV and too "soon" in the sense of IV being two games ago. Plus it would be Italian, Irish, Russian mafia groups all over again. That said, I'm sure I could still enjoy it, but my point stands - you don't need to look too far to see how similar and how limited the options are. Therefore focusing on the differences keeps it fresh. That's why I feel VC could work and would look and feel very different to LS. That of course works on the basis that is in the past; is more serious; and is not the only location.

 

Oddly nobody had this argument when we went from VC to SA, but then I guess that's because Rockstar thought it through. To me, LC and VC were opposites and the "theme" and colours of SA were somewhere in between. Plus, with SA we had LV and SF whereas now we've had just sunny Los Santos for a thousand years, so I do share your frustration.

 

In an ideal world they'd have two locations - one sunny and one grimy. Not sure how they'd do it. A 70s LV/SF pairing could be good as a contrast of "glitz and glamour" but it would feel like a continuation of V (with the San Andreas link) and not a clean break. In this sense they've shot themselves in the foot a bit with setting V in only LS.

I've kinda wanted to see them do a Biker gang in the Southwest. Mexican Cartels and Biker gangs work closely.  Cartels use them to get their drugs over the border and sell them because they can't do it themselves. A two protagonist game one is a biker the other is a top lieutenant in the cartel. Have the cartel supply the bikers with drugs to sell for them.  The Mexican cartel gets involved in a war with another cartel and that spills over so their problems become the Bikers problems because without that cartel there goes your drug connection

Part of me feels we're done with Bikers (as main story led group) after the TLAD and the events of V but on the other hand perhaps there's still scope. As you said though - its more of a feature of the Southwest. Yet another missed opportunity in V.

It would be interesting if they explored how the "War on Drugs" that really ramped up in early 80's created the current situation

No, that was before. March 2011. only a couple of weeks after the domain name leaks. So... you don't have to wait too much longer, theoretically.

Wow! Memory playing tricks on me. Stop it Len - giving me hope! It's a dangerous thing.

 

@GRANDHEIST

 

Exactly. I felt they only scratched the surface in VC and I don't count VCS as much. III had a theme of "smack" but that was about as far as they've gone with a proper drugs theme.

I kinda miss reading fake leaks and imagining how the game would look. Some leaks were really good fan-fiction wishlists lmao.

Write one yourself mate. GTAVI leaks are basically smut for us. Open a fresh Reddit account, make sure someone in your family works at Rockstar and add some cannabis in the equation and voila! You got yourself a nice freakin' leak.

Also add this source - Trust me dude

I want the Iran-contra affair and how the CIA sold drugs into the community in order to fund wars.

Could be cool but that would inevitably transcend into running around doing missions for the government, which pretty much everyone hated doing in GTA V.

I was wondering this myself. Whatever it was may have been delayed due to COVID.

Many strongly believe it was the cancelled Cops n' Crooks update.

I think I’m number 3. As much as I love the GTA series there are still many other good/great games to be enjoyed.
