Yeah GTA: guy ritchie would be incredible.Gottesstrafe said:So Guy Ritchie: The Game? Yeah, I can dig it. Lord knows I could use more Brick Top, if only as an ancillary villain that you, in the GTA fashion, work under, inevitably get betrayed by, and then work your way up in the criminal underworld to defeat. Given the gun regulation in the UK though, perhaps it'd be best to follow the example of Sleeping Dogs and have an in depth melee system that focuses on hand-to-hand, melee weaponry, and environmental kills.
Have you not seen the remake? Its actually quite goodJazzJack2 said:If there was a GTA london it would have to be set in the 70's a la the Sweeney.(but that probably wouldn't sell well.)
I personally love the idea of stealing the crown jewels. Sure its over the top and its been done in pretty much every heist parody but its just over the top enough that i might work. If anything its gonna be huge climactic finale. Say perhaps you get in deep shit with a wealthy mobster who has a fascination with the royal family so you have no option but to steal the.chocolate pickles said:Not really sure about the 'stealing the crown jewels' idea. I know asking for sensibility in a GTA game is like complaining about the lack of realism in toy story, but it just sounds like a bad comedy set up or something. No offense.
In terms of guns, I can think of two main options of the top of my head: 1, They forget that the games set in Britain and return to every gang member and their mum having a fully automatic weapon in their pocket. or 2, They make guns (even pistols) a rarity, and make getting a assault rifle the equivalent to finding the wood of the true cross. I could see this working, though: Give the PC a really low health bar and make bullets do a lot of damage, and i can see even relatively small firefights with just pistols being quite challenging - god forbid when the well equipped armed response surrounds you.
IGetNoSlack said:It ain't happening. GTA, like another open-world I know (hello Fallout) relies way too much on America for it's humor and storylines (i.e. gang culture in the 90s, the recent economic depression, the death of the American dream, etc.)daveman247 said:Anywhere NOT in america would be good for the next gta, switch it up a little. They'll probs just play it safe and do vice city for the third rime though -_-
It would just make no sense and GTA would lose a lot of what makes GTA, well, GTA if it were to travel outside of the US.
On your second point about Vice City, they could probably do a DC analogue for GTA VI, what with all the shutdowns and debt ceilings and whatnot.
If it was to stay in america id like a full blown las venturas remake with the same heist mechanic as GTA V but this time focus mostly on heists (mainly casinos). Instead of working your way up you start with a decent teamdaveman247 said:IGetNoSlack said:It ain't happening.

truePlus it wouldnt sell as well in america.
Maybe they could at least try a different time period. Or maybe play as a lawman (good cop turning bad, undercover shenanigans) to get a different perspective. Their "small time crook rising up" story has been pretty well trodden now.
I suppose you make a good point. The UKs culture is similar to what you described but america is very much a hyperbole of this culture. The parody would kind of be lost if it moved to the UK and heres why. When GTA was released american news outlets and certain influential groups (cough NRA cough) complain about GTA and just send a load of vitriolic hate towards it without even playing it or doing any research into its content. The funny thing is the more hate they give it the more GTAs parodies such as weasel news become true. Whereas in the UK the media responded very positively especially as rockstar has it roots in edinburgh (dundee to be more precise).stroopwafel said:A lot of GTA's identity is synonymous with the cynicism and parody on contemporary American culture(and with it the cultures it affects in most of the developed world). Infact GTA5 brilliantly parodies social media, talent shows, first person shooters, obnoxious internet behaviour, iphones, celebrity worship and so on. And it's entire mock internet is full of really good satire. People outside the U.S. can relate, simply b/c its effects can be felt everywhere. American popular culture is so universal and its politics and social climate so well known which makes that GTA's Americana has a near global appeal. This would be much less in a different setting. For example I loved Sleeping Dogs but it had nowhere near the level of attention to Eastern culture in the way GTA had for American society. Parody and satire is a difficult thing to do, especially when it comes to cultures which are more subdued. Which makes up a large part of GTA's thematic charm, its instantly recognizable satire.
Anyways I hope the next GTA will be set in some Mexican bordertown. With Mexico as a nearly failed state they could really ramp up the chaos. Espescially a fictional Texas would be awesome in a GTA setting. There could be a lot of narrative and gameplay possibilities that are really cool. It has the violence, the crime, the drugs and the machismo; now all it needs is the videogame. And there would be an awful lot to parody![]()
I think everyone wants a "GTA: Their Home Town". I know I'd love one set around Dallas/Fort Worth's metroplex. But that's a pipe dream.stroopwafel said:Anyways I hope the next GTA will be set in some Mexican bordertown. With Mexico as a nearly failed state they could really ramp up the chaos.

Not really ironic. It's too easy to poke fun at American culture.Korten12 said:Sorry to rain on your parade but the creators said it would most likely won't leave the US any time soon... Which is a bit ironic since the developers are from the UK. XD

They don't dismiss the idea completely but I wouldn't hold your breath. D:
You do realise that rockstar is a british developer? If anything GTA is better in america because its a british developer and it views american culture from an outsiders perspectiveJaeke said:Idk dude, I mean it's a good idea, and I would love to see crime and cultural satire from a British point of view, but I think that satire, which underlines what GTA is, is something that Rockstar can only, and chiefly capture in an American point of view, being that they are an American developer and that the audience, while obviously huge from their selling numbers, is also fixed on American values and popular culture.
If it was created by a British developer I would be all over it but I don't think I've heard of a showstopper developer from there that could be on R* caliber.
Lol everytime... I was even thinking "Eh, maybe I should check myself, but nah what are the odds."shootthebandit said:You do realise that rockstar is a british developer?
