The logo looks like money. I'm guessing D.C. or Philly

Getting stuck for 2 hours around the beltway is gonna be loads of fun. The real stuck in traffic simulator!

 

[leadbelly]

GTA: World.

Maybe next generation. lol

 

[someguyinahat]

GTA: Greater Toronto Area.

Clever title. But as awesome as that would be (coming from there) they'd need an insane amount of art assets to capture the diversity: streets where the signs turn from English to Portuguese to Korean to Chinese and back to English, and that's just the west half, would be pretty difficult to pull off.

 

[eternaLightness]

I would have loved for them to do an area that would allow them to do snow but I don't really want to see an east coast GTA for awhile. I wonder if they'll keep the time current or go back in time again.

 

[Massa]

Back then, GTA was about aping crime movies. Since then, it evolved into a series satirizing USA.

Exactly. And it does that so brilliantly well.

 

[added_time]

GTA: Greater Toronto Area.

haha. So true. Every time anyone mentions GTA on neogaf, the first thing I think is "Greater Toronto Area" and I click on the thread.... and then I realize it is about Grand Theft Auto... again!

 

[kingslunk]

Couple more days guys

 

[Hungry Ghost]

Hast it already been confirmed its going to be in L.A??

would be the best game ever if it was in the GTA.

 

[Hey You]

Hast it already been confirmed its going to be in L.A??

Nothings been confirmed, rumors have been pointing towards LA area.

 

[Donos]

I'm still have a tiny bit of hope that this plays in the future. I don't want another GTV4 oder Vice city. Give me hovercars/boards and a futurama/DeusEx/Syndicate/massEffect city and i'm in.

 

[speculawyer]

Back then, GTA was about aping crime movies. Since then, it evolved into a series satirizing USA.

I think it does both very well.

 

[Dabanton]

Hast it already been confirmed its going to be in L.A??

Nope and that's where the fun is R* has this shit locked down tight and we're like thirsty dogs waiting for gaming news.

Hilarious to think it's going to be one of the most important minutes of gaming news this year.

Oh, i'm not saying it will be out of the US, i'm saying they should stretch out to other places though.
You can only stomach so much consumerism satire.
Also the US are easy to pick up on, but they're not the only one, every country has its fair share of shit to laugh about.
Plus we need some variety in architecture.

 

[Buckethead]

Really? I can never get enough.

GTA has never been about seriousness though. That doesn't mean it has to be silly/over-the-top.
But it's always been pulpy. GTA has been more about Boyz In The Hood, Goodfellas, and Scarface than it has say... Godfather, The French Connection, or the Friends of Eddie Coyle.

While it's grounded in realism it's very much exaggerated.

Now if you want to exaggerate another culture - cool - I'm down.
They are faced with a lot of uphill hurdles with that one, notably getting your massive user base to accept that change.

American culture is perpetually ripe for the picking; call me ethnocentric if you like but America mastered if not invented the Entertainment industry.
They don't really have the proper objectivity to do European culture so it's basically what? France, Australia, Japan, China, India?

It'll be interesting to see where they go after V but I wouldn't mind if they retired the license.

 

[pakkit]

GTA V. V for Vegas.

 

[Salih]

Hey Rockstar Games,

put Zombies in it!!!1

 

[Hey You]

Hey Rockstar Games,

put Zombies in it!!!1

No doubt, they did it with RDR and highlighted the GTA IV PC Zombie mod. I believe Undead Nightmare sold pretty well?

Would have loved to have an official (Zombie) DLC with GTA IV.

 

[The Albatross]

Back then, GTA was about aping crime movies. Since then, it evolved into a series satirizing USA.

GTAIII, VC, and SA did both, and did them particularly well.
Unless you mean pre-GTAIII days.

The Dark Days.

 

[The Albatross]

Hey Rockstar Games,

put Zombies in it!!!1

I was playing Undead Nightmare with my mate last night and we both thought it'd just be so cool to have a rundown Liberty City zombie apocalypse DLC. Even if it is completely cheap, ripoff of RDR Undead NIghtmare, I'd be happy.

 

[Robot Pants]

I forgot RDR: GOTY came out this month. I'm gonna have to get that and finally experience that game.
Anyhow I'm still pumped for GTAV. I'm sure the trailers alone can sell me on it.

 

[Philanthropist]

There is a zombie mission in Vice City Stories. There used to be Zombie mods for previous GTAs, so I guess such theme could be fitting.

 

[GlamFM]

GTA V. V for Vegas.

Or Vice City Or Las Venturas.....

No. V for 5.

Simple as that.

 

[Omiee]

if they go to hollywood thats going to be amazing, my favorite setting in a gta game is def san andreas with the 3 city's

hope they release it on pc together with consoles.

 

[Apoc87]

Hey Rockstar Games,

put Zombies in it!!!1

No

 

[domlolz]

No More Zombies

e:I really want them to do somewhere outside the US

 

[Hey You]

.

 

[Robot Pants]

?

why put V & Five on the logo?

 

[IMACOMPUTA]

?

why put V & Five on the logo?

To use the money font and hint that its in Vegas.

 

[Houston3000]

Seems like the most obvious answer is Vegas

Grand Theft Auto being set in Vegas has been milling around for a long time; it makes sense for the series, it's a very famous setting for crime drama especially mobster drama (think "Casino" with DeNiro and Pesce); and the cash motif on the logo fits the city perfectly, we all know Vegas is all about money and gambling; not to mention the roman numeral for five is a giant V, which... going along with the other points makes a pretty good case for the city. It would be a cool setting with a lot of room for bringing zaniness back to the series - helicopters, airshows, stuntman, fun fun fun... really no room in a Nevada desert setting for boats though.

 

[BobTheFork]

The logo looks like money. I'm guessing D.C. or Philly

Or Denver! Shit, even I don't want to play a game based here.

 

[Acrylic7]

?

holy shit are you serious?

 

[Kaako]

Made me chuckle regardless. Good stuff.

 

[salromano]

Philly would be great. As someone who was born there, I'd appreciate seeing more games based in the city.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

DC is the only one I would consider a possibility if it's not west coast. The thing about GTA games is Rockstar seems to like to have iconic locales. To a regular person, what does Chicago or Detroit (outside of the auto industry) bring that Liberty didn't already cover? They seem to want each game to have a completely new look and feel. DC would at least bring the political angle, but even then, if Rockstar want to do something completely different from 4, it would have to be WestCoast/Vegas or Florida.

 

[Neuromancer]

Philly would be great. As someone who was born there, I'd appreciate seeing more games based in the city.

Philly, Baltimore or DC would rock my world. Sadly I don't think rockstar has it in them to make that big of a jump. Easier to revisit old cities they've already done.

 

[Para bailar La Bomba]

Would that be Goodfellas the movie more closely based on real events than any other movie in the last 20 years?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Goodfellas has a lot of dark humor though. Obviously it's not a comedy but it's got a lot of over the top shit.

 

[Para bailar La Bomba]

The point is that the "over-the-top shit" actually transpired.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

The point is that the "over-the-top shit" actually transpired.

yeah but it didn't necessarily have a super serious tone. A lot of that has to do with the pacing of the movie and how it was filled. So much of the real crazy shit (mostly what Pesci did) was done so callously and without reaction that it came off as insane and over the top. Like when he shoots the bartender kid, DeNiro and Liotta get mad at him, but more of in a "you're a jerk, you know that?" kind of way, not a "wow you are a sociopath bro" way. Reminds me of some of the scenes in Pulp Fiction too ("I shot Marvin in the face!") I can see some inspiration for GTA in that.

 

[Buckethead]

Yeah yeah I'm aware and that's nice.

Yes yes, this is what i meant.
There are a lot of cultures and countries you can make fun of.
I think you can easily make fun of England/Scotland/Irland, you can make fun of France, you can make fun of various Asian country.
Now i don't expect "unkown" stuff like Malaysia to be used, but something like the UK? Everybody knows Guy Ritchie's films, play it on the drunken stereotype or whatever, it's not like their take on US society was insightful anyway, you can always find a satirical and funny side to everything, even the French Banlieue.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

I'd be fine with LA and Vegas , Orleans and surrounding area or DC/Philly. Actually i'd be fine with anything(except obviously Liberty City) so long as they increase mission variety, bring back rpg elements like in SA and buying property like in VC.

 

[Buckethead]

I can't see them doing New Orleans nor do I understand why people want that so badly.

My money is on DC/Baltimore (Capital City) perhaps Philly (Carcer City) and Kentucky (countryside, oxycontin).

 

[The Last One]

GTA V. V for Vegas.

V for Vita.

Doubt Bmore very much but it would be pretty sweet. Future maybe.

 

[BowieZ]

V for Vita.

5 for 3DS... Nintendo's 5th gen handheld

 

[Buckethead]

Doubt Bmore very much but it would be pretty sweet. Future maybe.

Neither DC or Vegas are large enough to be on their own. They must be attached to something.

I'm calling the leaked LA stuff a red herring.

IV was rumored to be in Vice City before the trailer, after all...

 

[Ashodin]

?

why put V & Five on the logo?

because people call it grand theft auto eye vee.

So people can know it's a five. instead of calling it grand theft auto vee.

Guys that is clearly a U.
