RamsaySaint77 19 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 There's various settings Rockstar can go with, but Sci Fi is one I've always been interested in seeing. It can go in any direction, a dystopian more grounded future, A utopian future with flying cars and advanced tech, or a retro futuristic 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think Rockstar could pull off a sci fi or future setting brilliantly if they tried, it just can't be a Gta game, Like how Red Dead wasn't called Gta due to how different it's setting was Link to post Share on other sites

Phil McCrevis 17 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 It would be good to see San Fierro in the future. Not like Watchdogs but like CyberPunk night city but with SF instead of NC. And less bugs rofl. I think Rockstar Games can do this. Yes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
1funeral2many 7 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 GTA2 has the background to make for a great cyberpunk story; mega corporation that controls the government more or less, while laws are only enforced via a brutal police state when it serves the ones in power. Then again that’s pretty much every great sci fi/cyberpunk story in a nutshell 2 Link to post Share on other sites
0909090 433 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I would like to see a space western from Rockstar. Something akin to Cowboy Bebop could be interesting. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

A gritty dystopian future with a seedy and violent atmosphere. Could be a nice departure if they don't feel like lampooning reality of life today. Link to post Share on other sites

The Tracker 113 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) None, there's way too many futuristic games these days, games with grounded/real life settings is what makes Rockstar, Rockstar, whenever is being a hitman in New York, an outlaw in the late 1800's or a detective in Post-War america, that's their identity, their vision.

Polynoid 1,756 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 If you say futuristic, i would love to see near dystopian future. Not your average postapocalyptic grit, but something that would evolve from your average life and accepted by citizens as normality - and that would scare you shirtless. Subdermal smartphones. Daily hate sessions. Neofacts. Microdrone assassinations for petty reasons. Ultracorrectness and peaceful violence. Underground lowtech like ham radios, face antirecon and gait modifiers in shoes. DNA manipulations. Things like that you can see now in early development. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
