Not disappointed in the trailer or the game or anything, but I would've loved to see a GTA set in a city outside the US. For example in a London-like city or Tokyo or Rome or Paris.
But yeah this new GTA looks sick. They did a great job in capturing the new fucked up Florida vibe.
GTA: GTA (Greater Toronto Area)
Five stars is just the RCMP apologizing to you.
Unless you're a native character...
Hahahahaha
If Rockstar wanted to bring back London '69 (maybe '89 now?) I wouldn't be mad at all.
I've always dreamed about this one, London 69 updated in their recent style. I think they talked about this before and the problem is the cops in London didn't carry guns then so it made it difficult to be a GTA game in the typical sense.
Sleeping Dogs is probably as close as you'll get. That's a great game btw.
Thanks for the reference! I'll check that out!
Solid game, I believe it began as a sequel to True crime streets of LA. It felt like I was playing an infernal affairs video game
They have police in those city.
All 2022 Rome had only 16 homicides... And street are too small and traffic is too bad for a grand theft auto... Rome is good for spy stories, thriller or stealth games. GTA wouldn't really work
In London not even police has guns... Having someone hanging around with a gun is too unrealistic, more than Harry potter
Technically... London has already been done.

For Rome, grand theft auto in the 70s is absolutely doable. Full of gangs, terrorists, molotovs.
Grand theft auto Rome 2023 would be about some fat guy bribing politicians to get the work for his company of collect garbage and never do it. The lucrative non-fancy side of crime
Ah.. you make a very good point.
USA as a very car centric country is definitely best suited for a car centric game like Grand Theft Auto.
That's true lol. It's not called grand theft métro de Paris.
grand theft bicycle with a canal boat chase set anywhere in the Netherlands
The Getaway had plenty of car action, it was pretty neat blasting through the tight roads and navigating traffic.
I always assumed GTA to be a broad parody on modern America. From the beginning it was a new York esque mob-gang warfare, and then moved out to add in more usa adjacent scenery. It's more about keeping with the theme, let IPs like watchdogs take the initial risks.
Good point. And Florida has become crazy enough that a GTA game set there is almost realistic.
I'd like it just set in any new city outside of these 3. It's always been a rotation of Liberty, Vice and San Andreas, even back to GTA 1 (which was the 3 cities in one)
True. Chicago would've been nice. Or Atlanta.
Wiarton Ontario
i dunno if they find enough whacky criminal characters. Seems to be the other countries are still too normal or things are too fucked up for the series to work there.
The Florida vibe is definitely oozing from this trailer. I can almost smell it, and quite frankly I'm disgusted. Bravo. I would've preferred the next GTA being somewhere else, but maybe this it exactly where it belongs.
Agree. Florida culture has become very conductive for this kind of game.
I want them to spin off another top down style gta game, I love the 3d but it would be cool to see them iterate on the OG style.
GTA 2 was my favorite
GTA Chinatown Wars was great when it released for Nintendo DS and the PSP. It was actually a really well done update to the GTA 2 style of gameplay that a lot of people missed because it was a portable game. It was available on iOS and Android, too, but not sure if it's still there.
Aaand remember: Respect is everything!
That just might be a good indy game project actually....
Idk... If it hasn't happened with the Switch... Like they did with PSP and DS with GTA china town ...
