http://whatculture.com/gaming/gta-vi-10-reasons-it-must-return-to-vice-city
This article sums up my opinion. What are your thoughts?
I get the appeal but personally I'd like to see them do a modern San Fierro. It might also not help that I never played vice city and don't care for 80s stuff. It might be cool to see a completely new location in a new time period like the 60s or 70s though.
>>345082565
it's set in Boston, this isn't an opinion it's verified
>>345082565
We don't need another Grand Theft Auto yet. Why can't Rockstar make something new?
>>345083014
Boston has no identity or culture. It's whiter baltimore
FO4 was absolutely horrid, and a great deal of that was the decision to place it in boston
Well then it's understandable. I am actually 90s kid, but 80s fashion, cars, culture, music has always blown my mind.
60,70s are more Mafia style period, but would be cool too, just not in a city like Miami.
I genuinely think that Miami doesn't offer anything fun for present setting. LA and NY are far better in that aspect.
About the Boston thing, I wouldn't count on rumors anymore as we've been misled in the past...
However, since the trend is now to go back in time, as we're seeing that in rise of the past set FPS games being announced, I think R* will now after quite a few games in the present also go back in the past. Wether this will be 90s,80s is anyones guess..
The truth is, the period that they haven't addressed for the longest time are the 80s.
>>345082565
How about they do something new instead of another nostalgia bait
>10. You Could Build A Criminal Empire
You can do that anywhere
>9. A Gangster-Filled Cuba Could Be Open To Explore
Miami is not Cuba,
>8. The Music Was AWESOME
Argument goes to period at best, not place
>7. It's The Fan-Favourite For A Reason
All GTA games are well-received. Not just VC. Also the masses are asses.
>6. The 80s Were A Great Time For The Mob
So were the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 90s, and 00s
>5. Full-On Video Game Arcades
Not an argument for a place, and barely an argument for a period
>4. Vice City Had The Best Vehicles
False, and not an argument for place or period
>3. You Could Live In A Grotesquely Expensive Mansion
You could do that in any city in any decade
>2. The 80s Are The Perfect Decade To Parody
So would the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 90s, and 00s
>1. You Could Play An 80s-Style Corrupt Cop
see any of the above
Shit article, OP. And shit opinion if it mirrors yours
>>345083786
Hey, the mob was also big in the 30s and the 20s.
Thanks, Prohibition!
>>345083531
I didn't say I wanted Boston, I said we're getting Boston
>>345083014
>>345083786
Boston fucking sucks, kill yourself
>>345084086
see
>>345084084
Rockstar's literally developing GTA VI set in Boston. I didn't say I wanted it, it's just what we're getting
>>345084086
>>345083786 here, I never said anything about Boston.
I'd prefer something like Seattle/Portland, Dallas/Houston, or Rio
>Retro future never ever
I liked this hobby more when it wasn't normie central
>>345084086
go back to /r/gaming
Just put it in Washington DC, that place is full of corruption both political and moral. It's also got plenty of gangs, greed and guns. And many well known monuments, it's a perfect backdrop for a GTA game.
>>345084560
See, DC is a weird one, because every game is set in a fake version of a real city, but Washington is named, by name, in every game.
It seems like that might throw a wrench in the parody engine a tiny bit? I dunno.
>>345084226
I would kill for that.
>>345084086
Boston as a city is much nicer and cleaner than NYC and LA/SF. Definitely has better people than NYC too.
What about Chicago tho? Detroid/Carcer City even?
There are so many cities that can get a game
Chicago
Detroit
Philadelphia
New Orleans
Houston and/or Austin
San Diego
Seattle
Portland
Boston
New Jersey
fucking DENVER
and that's just to name a few
Rockstar might go full faggot and go Canada
>>345084753
No one actually wants a game in Chicago, Detroit or Philadelphia do they? Philadelphia is without a doubt one of the worst cities on the east coast.
>>345084861
Chicago is the best city in the country
What about something like Charleston?
Swamps
Old Money
Gators
Hurricanes
Confederates
Overall hatred of Ohio
>>345084742
Amen to that
>>345083014
>GTA III rehash
>>345082565
Vice City was fun, but I'd rather they take the series in a new direction.
If you're going to revisit anywhere, revisit London.
>>345083786
So basically
>GTA VI: 10 Reasons It Must Return To The 80s
>>345083014
What?
Why?
What difference will there be with Liberty City?
If they're not going to try something new, yeah, vice city would be the best choice.
I'd rather something new though. Not Abu Dhabi, fuck off you filthy Arab scum
>>345087260
it's not gonna be in shitty fuckin boston. Who verified that it is? some random guy on /v/?
GTA San Andreas 2
>>345087424
>>345084560
I've never been, but I've been told by other than the White House, Washington is boring as fuck and there's not much to do there.
>>345087424
GTAV was set in San Andreas.
I WANT A GTA HAWAII NOWWWWWWWWW
>>345087424
Only way this would ever be possible is if Rockstar copypasted 99% of it and I rather have a small map where everything is unique
>>345087574
Or if they would stop being such faggots regarding modding in PC.
>>345087574
not to mention that the map is so packed with stupid shit and cities are so close you would probably be able to see Los Santos from Vice City
I just want GTa 2 in HD.
The next gta needs to be set in space.
>2016
>Still no GTA in South America
Think of the opportunities. Guns and gangs in USA wish they could touch that level.
The next gta needs to be set in cyber space.
>>345087708
They don't even acknowledge the 3D games, saying they take place in a "different universe" from IV and V - like what the fuck does that mean?
>>345082565
Vice City 80s.
I would like three characters again (or at least two), I'd like one to be similar to Michael where he's at the height of his power/wealth; said character should be heavily involved with drugs.
Also, I'd like one of the characters to be a cop with his primary motive to arrest the other character; I'd like to see their conflict to play off each other throughout the narrative. (Maybe something like Det. Ed Exley)
The 3rd character should be small, heavily involved with the wealthy character, and is more of a stand in for the player (maybe something similar to Frank from Thief).
I think the best way to approach it is similar to the likes of L.A. Confidential - embracing character genre archetypes, with all conflicted.
>>345087872
Maybe they don't have ideas how to connect these universes together.
I don't know, it's just fucking stupid.
If they make one player character a woman, what would you hope she'd be like?
>>345088369
Big ol titties that have the best jiggle mechanics in a video game yet.
>>345088369
Trevor like but only in sexy and a bit less edgy.
>>345088369
Is there any way to make an edgy chick without her being fucking insufferable?
>>345082565
I'd rather have it in some fucked up over the top third-world crimehole like roanapur from black lagoon.
>yfw Trump missions

Oh boy! A series returning to the same setting/location within two decades! Can't wait to play that after getting together with my friends after watching the third Spiderman 1 movie in 2 decades too!
>>345087424
You mean 3.
>>345082565
I would like to see vice city in the 90's/early 00's.
I know autists would scream about a vice city game not set in the 80's but I still think it would be cool.
You play Tommy Vermicetti, fresh out of prison after he was sent down in 1988 (may require small retcon), he has to adjust to the new 1990's vice city and reconnects with a few old faces. He's ageing but he still has it in him to work his way up the crime tree.
>>345083014
>>345083531
>>345084086
>>345087260
GTA in Boston is gonna be refreshing as fuck. I can't stand the environment and surroundings in V, but V sucks ass anyway though.
Those who actively played Vice city back in the day know, how good the setting was because of the 80s theme.
Obviously kids today do not know the game as they weren't playing at the time. Sure it is nothing so special today as we are spoiled by modern graphics.
That's why it needs a remake, so younger people can experience it and see how bad ass a cocaine build mansion with Testarossa and Countach parked outside can be..
>>345093636
This, plus, i'm fucking tired of the
>HAHA EVERYONE IS SO SARCASTIC AND FUNNY, MODERN SOCIETY SUX AMIRITE
thing, it's getting Borderlands 2 dialogue-levels of annoying.
>>345087872
Are you fucking retarded? Do you have trouble understanding how 60s Batman TV show and Nolan's Batman movies doesn't exist in the same universe either despite both being batman??
I'm almost certain GTA will never go back in time now, they'll continue the 'le so funny obvious social satire' that reached it's apex in GTA V, plus having the smartphone ties into a lot of their online features.
>>345096548
Not an excuse. You could always launch certain game events in say special buildings, places that offer certain services...
There were phones in the 80s so calling people can always be done, PC were also there...
The only reason I see why R* wouldn't do it in the 80s is because of the hate from younger generation, unfamiliar with that time period (even though I'm only 19 lol)
Threadly reminder GTA: London never existed.
>>345096548
>implying RDR isnt the best GTA game
>>345096840
True, I'm the same age so I grew up on Vice City and San Andreas, I'd love a return to the 80's or 90's in VI, but I just don't think it'll happen. Maybe they'll just continue to expand their online and create sort of a 'GTA World' with Las Vegas, and San Francisco, instead of focusing on another single player game
Yup, I agree. It would be soo refreshing to go back in time since we are stuck now in a period of present and future games only. Thankfully BF1 is in WW1 now....
But wouldn't it be cool for once to go actually do the business yourself in person, rather than clicking it all on a smart phone?
>>345087473
It was set in Los Santos.
They said SA and it was just LS.
>>345082901
>Modern San Fierro
San Fierro is basically just Los Santos-lite. It would be way to similar to the City we got in V.
If you want a modern San Fierro just playWatch dogs 2

>>345093636
Even back then I thought III was better. The setting was good but there's too much empty beach.
>>345097902
Never got into III, always thought the city was a bit dull and the soundtrack not very good. Vice City was aesthetic as fuck
Yup GTA 3 was really dark and plain..
VC had the colors, sun and amazing sound track
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFfcCApgsKQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_VBXRZuHTc
Does it have to be set in America?
>>345099138
Yeah R* confirmed that GTA series will only be set in north America.
As the game defines American dream type of character..
>>345099229
That's shit. I always wanted them to do a London type thing again. Setting it in Edinburgh where they're based would be fun too.
>>345099330
I see them doing London in a DLC not a full game
>>345084086
>said the yankees fan
eat a dick fag
Would a modern day Vice City be interesting? I live in Florida and even I have no idea what Miami is like these days. Nothing ever happens there and it's never in the news.
>>345099781
Old retirees and tourists, the 'Cocaine Cowboys' era is long dead
>>345099859
So it's just like 99% of Florida now then.
>being excited for another GTA ever again after Benzies was fired
Yeah no
>>345082565
>florida man
I could get behind the wild adventures of a Florida tier trevor, but only if he's not a fucking EDGY MEME LORD like actual trevor, and more of just a retarded country bumpkin floridaian retard
Current Chicago would be one of the best choices, but it'd be a more modern San Andreas - crime is over the top, black on black, gangs, heavy influence of drill/trap music, drugs.
Just perfect.
>>345087537
too small
How about Baltimore? Or would that be too much like The Wire?
>>345100217
But /v/ would hate that because "muh niggers >:(((".
[spoilers] Personally GTA: Chiraq sounds pretty fun
GTA Europe Never
A giant map spanning Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, Paris, Berlin, Rome and everything inbetween
would be cool
or just even GTA Britain.
Glasgow, Edinburgh, Shittingham, London and whatnot
>>345097614
>It was set in Los Santos.
wich is San Andreas, you fucking moron
>>345082565
>Return to vice city
Do you people never get tired of the same three goddamn places?
>Hotline Manhunt 3 never ever
>yfw Rockstar will never buy Dennaton
>>345101053
Well technically they've all been used twice, apart from Vice city that was used once.
The releases of GTA series are so long apart, that you don't really get bored as when the cycle is complete, you already forget the places from the first city and the technology in gaming advances so much that it is a completely different game.
For example Vice city was released in 2002, IF the next GTA is again in Vice city, it will be 15-20 years of technological development between the 2, so you can Imagine it never getting old.
if they go with the 3 characters system can one be a female, mainly so we can see rockstar shit over everyone elses characters in its dialogue.
>>345083786
>A tropical setting game centered around Mafia controlled Havana filled with casinos, nightlife clubs and prostitution rings, working for a mob family and helping in sabotaging competing casinos, listening to the golden age of Cuban music and rhumba, and defending the strip against the Cuban rebels/insurgents never ever.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01dwxAtbBeE
It would be cool if they did various places and you could travel through them by airplane like they did in SA. Make it Vice City, Boston and someplace unexpected and foreign like Mexico or Colombia.
>>345082565
Rockstar needs to fucking shelve GTA for a good decade. Theyve made enough money, not make Red Dead 3, Manhunt 3, Max Payne 4, Bully 2, and fucking Agent.
>>345101917
FUCKING THIS. GTA Online alone probably makes them enough money to fund whatever the fuck they want.
>>345101917
>Agent
Holy shit, I had completely forgotten it existed. Is it still in development or was it cancelled?
>>345093591
This. Boston is the definition of comfy, especially in the winter
>tfw walking through those cosy streets as it rains heavily
It was one of the nicest cities I've ever been to. I hope the in-game world is set in winter.
I want a GTA France where you can play as a peaceful muslim
>>345099969
>people still believes The Benz was GTAs lord and savior
alright class, lets take it slow here
>multiple interviews with The Benz before GTA V's release was shilling GTAO
>even after the game's release The Benz was still all about GTAO
>always talking about the future of GTAO
>"GTAO GTAO GTAO"
>The Benz court files shit goes public
>supposed to make people side with The Benz (the fucking idiots did)
>files show that the Houser Bros wanted to write more shit for Story Mode
>The Benz says no and has them write some half-assed intro/"story" for GTAO
it's fucking clear as day what a boner The Benz had for GTAO. meanwhile the Houser Bros just wanted to work on Single Player and SP DLC.
i guess it dependshow fucking retarded you arewhether you want more GTAO bullshit, or true Single Player GTA games. The Benz was good, but don't forget he's the dirty fucker that created the virus that is GTAO.
>>345102876
Have to agree with you, I fucking hate all the GTA Online rape that Rockstar has been doing. I mean it may make them a lot of $$$ but it sure isn't making them a lot of "street cred"..
Who cares if they put new low riders into online, it fucking gets boring instantly.
Great SP story is still best thing ever and leave the Online part for people to create the sandbox in it...
>>345103162
RDR's Multiplayer was essentially GTAO without the money and shit having to be bought. Yeah you unlocked weapons and rides as you leveled up, but if you got them in freeroam you could keep them for the session. Shit was perfect.
The Benz let GTAO get out of control, and now Take-Two has their hands all over it. That's why shit like FiveM kept getting shut down. Rockstar didn't give a shit about mods, Take-Two were the ones sending the cease and desist letters and lawyers to people's homes. Take-Two sees it for the cash cow it is and is actually keeping Rockstar on a short leash now.
And we all have The Benz to thank for creating this GTAO monstrosity that spiraled out of control.
