A Triad theme for a Future Gta

[RamsaySaintEternal]

I know we technically already got a Triad based game with Chinatown Wars but that was a portable game but it did a good job for what it is, But I would love to see a Triad themed game on a bigger scale, And we would get another Asian protagonist which we haven't gotten many outside of Huang Lee from Chinatown Wars so another would be nice, As for the city for The Triad theme to take place in I think San Fierro would work rather well for it and The Yakuza could even appear as an ally faction, I think San Fierro would be great for an Asian theme. One of our protagonists is a member of a Triad based in San Fierro and he does business for them rising up the ranks and eventually becomes boss of The Triad and running operations and having others do dirty work for him. It'll be a while though before we see San Fierro in HD probably like Gta VIII

70s san fierro with a hong konger protag would be dope ngl. sort of like a fresh-off-the-boat story similar to niko's but with the protagonist trying to figure out hippies, early corporations, americanized triad business/organized crime and nixon-era politics.

So many talk about the 70s for San Fierro and Hippies when the whole Hippie San Francisco thing is more like the 60s, The hippie movement was in decline by the early 70s and San Francisco wasn't exactly The city of love and counterculture anymore but a 70s setting would be cool as the 70s haven't been done at all in Gta. The story I thought of (which is purely speculation for the far future that is Gta VIII) is a present day one, The fish out of water thing would work pretty well. The Triads already have a prescence in San Fierro but one of the protagonists comes from Hong Kong to San Fierro to come help with business in San Fierro 

 

Again, Pure speculation for the far future and it's too soon to talk about VII or VIII especially but it's fun to speculate

Friendly reminder that in real life the Yakuza and the Triads maintain positive relationships and often co-work, ironically.

Not sure what to think about that Triad stuff, but would Portland or Seattle fit that theme? Would like to see the Pacific Northwest in a future GTA, not only deserts and beaches.

Las Venturas could fit with a Triad theme too but I think if VII were to be in Las Venturas it could be a Mafia centric story, No being a hired gun or anything but being an actual member of these criminal organizations rising up the ranks and eventually being the boss. We've had protagonists be hired guns for so much of the series minus LCS, San Andreas during the Los Santos portions that wasn't working for Tenpenny, and Chinatown Wars as Toni is a member of and works for the Leone crime family and Huang Lee is a member of and works for The Triads and I wish more of the games had us work for and do business for crime organizations as members instead of hired guns, Vice City and Vice City Stories stood out too as both stories involved creating your own empire and being the boss, Tommy being a member of the Mafia but goes rogue to create his own Empire although Vice City Stories did the empire thing better with it's mechanics, Not that I have a problem with the hired gun thing because I don't and hopefully VI does it great when Lucia and Jason do work for certain gangs or a Cartel

Most likely we will not see SF and LV until recreation of San Andreas in Next universe,anyway im dont think so that we would get big new GTA in what Triad would be main theme of game, as one of themes sure but not main

I love it when people speculate about future universes and VII even if we don't have VI to begin with. Sheesh y'all got insane expectations...

[RamsaySaintEternal]

I'm pretty sure the HD universe will be the universe we stick with from IV onwards, Anyway not sure why I even talk about VII cause I ain't focused on VII for now, VI is what I'm focused on and it's way too early to talk about VII or VIII when VI hasn't even released but idk I just thought of speculating cause I got nothing better to do lol
