You don't think an equally truthful assessment would be to skewer criminal behavior in general? There's so many criminal enterprises ripe for parody around the world! Share the love!

Imagine if Chinatown Wars took place in actual China.

Oh my shit. GTA's take on the PRC, PLR, Triads, Hong Kong & all that would be something to see.

MC should be an Indian undercover FBI agent on an Indian reserve infested with crime and corruption.

Scalped?

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Main character should be Nathan Drake.

Announcement of a trailer announcing the game.

The Las Vegas parts where some of the best in SA. I loved my airplane hanger base and the parts around the Casinos. Imagine all of the next gen lights.

Come on, drop the act. This is GTA.

Rockstar is gonna save that controversy(Native American lead) for the next Red Dead title.

 

[starchild excalibur]

I hope it's not Vegas, I fucking hate that city.

Definitely would be more interested in heavy metropolitan cities like DC/NY than Vegas/Vice City. Not saying it should be NY again, but I would be a little let down if it was Vegas.

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

The only thing about the code (and leaked stuff) is that Rockstar is ironclad about stuff getting out before they want to.

Could be legit but I more tend to see them as red herrings.

That logo on the other hand, isn't LA/Vegas-y at all.

Totally DC.

The logo looks like money (green and FIVE is written like it is on a bill)

 

[delleps]

I remember I saw some movie on TV that was just a gangster movie, and out of nowhere it turns out that it's about vampires. I've been obsessed with that concept ever since; a story that radically changes its tone and genre completely unexpectedly.

So I always thought it would be cool if there was some sort of mafia/gta-esque game that starts out as a kinda crappy gta ripoff, and in the story people start to go missing, and if you look carefully there's like ufo reports on the tvs, and weird stuff in the sky and unpopulated places if you look, and eventually turns into an alien invasion story.

Shit would be wacky.

 

[GoodMorning]

It actually takes place in Civil War era America

 

[pakkit]

I hope the main character is a bearded fat man with scoliosis voiced by Zach Galifianakis. You can work out in the game, but your character will then binge eat and gain more weight no matter what you do.

GOTY

Amir Kahn for next GTA protagonist

 

[Fjordson]

Edit: Accidental double post. iPhone failure.

 

[Fjordson]

I hope this is as great as the GTA IV reveal trailer. Shit was epic.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Amir Kahn for next GTA protagonist

Man

A subcontinental video game protagonist would be fucking amazing. Don't even care if he's a coconut.

 

[shadyspace]

Subcontinental is a descriptive word now.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Trailer will be CG, and show a silhouette of a guy picking up a gun and walking out a doorway, cut to title screen.

.... Believe.

Wow that would piss me off more than the ending to The Sopranos

 

[Ooccoo]

A female lead could work

 

[rpgb46]

what about a character who starts at the top but then loses everything

 

[Fjordson]

No way it'll be CG. Rockstar's promotional stuff has been all in-engine for years now.

 

[Knux-Future]

Someday they need to do a futuristic GTA game.

Would be awesome but as long as this one doesn't have the bullshit relationship shit, more variety mission..I'm probably down.

 

[mysticwhip]

It would be cool if the trailer said for ps4,xbox loop and what not. that would increase my hype tenfold.

 

[Snuggles]

A female lead could work

You might see one, but only if the game features multiple player characters. It'll never happen in a GTA game with a single player character.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

We're due.

i doubt GTAV will be for next gen.. has to be this gen. or did you mean this gen? you said next gen.

 

[les papillons sexuels]

so what happened to agent?

 

[butter_stick]

what about a character who starts at the top but then loses everything

What about a character that's married with kids, and in between missions you have to do school runs and talk to your wife on the phone and invite her bowling.

 

[StevePharma]

DC, Vegas. Mmmmm.


Guys guys....

...what if it's TWO cities !?

 

[jackrubyn]

I'm so psyched to see what they're doing with this series!

 

[Misanthropy]

What if it's like SA and you can swim AND go underwater? That would be cool. One thing though, they need to fix something with the police system. Over time it gets very annoying when you endlessly kill cops for 3 hours and they keep coming. Idk how they could fix that system though.

 

[Marleyman]

Las Vegas confirmed.

Possible playable character as Whoopi Goldberg in Sister Act?!? I would rather play as Kathy Najimy but Whoopi will do.

This post is full of fuck.

 

[B-Genius]

Someday they need to do a futuristic GTA game.

I think GTA2 was slightly futuristic. I mean, the cars all looked pretty funky, and there were some grungy not-so-distant-future vibes.

A modern implementation could be good, though I think Crackdown has handled that pretty well from a different perspective.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Nobody has done the action scenes from HEAT justice yet

The bank robbery in GTA:IV was very disappointing. The actual heist is a cut scene and the rest is just some linear shoot-outs.

Kane & Lynch : Dead Men, the mast part of the Yamamoto mission is a great tribute to Hrmeat even if this is tokyo, it is vert similar in term of setting and colors

 

[Grinchy]

I don't care where it is. I just want to be able to get in a rocket that can shoot me up into orbit, which I can control from there to travel to the moon. On the moon will be the skeletons of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin (since we all know that they never came back and their genes were used by the aliens that live on the moon to come to Earth and explore our cultures).

 

[GlamFM]

DC, Vegas. Mmmmm.


Guys guys....

...what if it's TWO cities !?

Totally possible.

 

[UnluckyKate]

Totally possible.

Not on the same area ? I doubt and I don't want it. San Andres was crazy then only communicate about Los Angeles and then for the trailer we saw country side, desert, SF and LV. Bricks were shat back then, people went crazy over than Welcome to the jungle trailer.

I want two different cities with country side in between and seasons Rockstar, or at least ala Mafia 2, with seasons going along story arcs

 

[Buckethead]

Terrible storytelling. Destroys tension and emotional investment. See: Matrix Reloaded.

...what if it's TWO cities !?

Could be but I don't see how they could blend DC into Vegas. Totally dissimilar.

You're saying a story where the character falls from grace couldn't possibly be good because of Matrix Reloaded?

 

[bathala]

I want some political intrigue in this new GTA

Gov. vs u

 

[Buckethead]

You're saying a story where the character falls from grace couldn't possibly be good because of Matrix Reloaded?

I'm citing an example.

Scarface covers the ascent as well as the inevitable descent.
It is entertaining/engaging during the rise and makes the fall that much more tragic.

Starting at the top with a character that has fuck-all to prove isn't really rewarding to the player or interesting to watch unfold.

 

[Belfast]

Las Vegas confirmed.

Bishop O'Hara isn't exactly a stretch of a name for a Catholic character, no matter where they're from. If anything, I'd expect that to make more sense in Catholic-heavy New England....

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

This game officially makes GTA's sequel numbering system makes no damn sense.

GTA III --> GTA: VC --> GTA: SA
GTA IV --> GTA V

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

I hope the main character is black

If that is the case, I hope its a repeat of the GAF SA reveal thread with people "not relating" and "not liking the orange tinting of the lighting", that was damn hilarious.
