They need to do one set back in the 60's, or around a war or something. I'd say farther back, but the character almost couldn't be black because of how it was back then, a ? would stay with one star on the game and ? lol smh.

I think it'd be cool to have one in the past too. Maybe great depression days and your bootlegging from the big city to the country areas where they make the moonshine. Don't have to be a gta, but a Rockstar game based in that time would be dope. -
Sounds like they just wanted an excuse for a paid vacation
-
the guy who created gta is from london lol
-
maybe they go bac to miami

maybe they go bac to miami

According to our friends at TechRadar, a source close to Rockstar says the developer was "serious" about making a GTA set in Tokyo, but pulled the plug after assessing the difficulty of moving the series outside the US. According to the source, Rockstar even made a trip to Japan to scope out the city.
TechRadar also notes that in 2003, Rockstar applied for trademarks to protect "GTA: Tokyo" and "GTA: Bogota," and though the news was reported at the time, I don't recall it causing much of a stir. I think we all assumed: Sure, GTA can go anywhere, sounds good! But TR's source says that Rockstar decided against changing GTA staples like cars and brands. Speculation on my part factors in how much GTA has embraced itself as satire of American culture since then—to do the same for Japanese culture in GTA's not-exactly-nuanced style would be such a departure that I can't see it ever happening.
But while GTA: Tokyo may never exist, TR's source says that GTA 6 is in development (no big surprise), though a location hasn't been decided. I expect it'll be at least a couple years before we hear anything official on it. The gap between GTA 4 and GTA 5 was about five years, which would put GTA 6 in 2018 or 2019, if history repeats.
We've reached out to Rockstar for comment, and will update this story if we hear back.
stopped reading after that....
Now that I think about it, a London GTA with less guns and a fully fleshed out, multiple fight style system would be badass. -
I hate how soft franklin is . How come the gangs in gta v dont shoot at each other any thing

all that ? was/is easy either way tho -
Nah im talkin about how weak the gangs are in gta v . No one killin each other so kinda pointless of havin them -

well yeah idk what happened with that..... i wondered why they kinda pushed the grove st families off the map and brought in some biker gangs and more foreign ? wit businesses and ? ......i get they wanted to be a lil more diverse than just the streets tho...
but yeah the vagos and ballers and ? just be standin around in they own territory chillin.....which is kinda current with the gang thing today....gotta remember San Andreas was in the 90's when that ? was at its peak.....im sure there's still turf wars but not like it was -

Only way to get the gangs to shoot at each other is starting a shootout on Grove street with the ballers and then running on foot to the families turf smh. Should have kept the option of letting you recruit Npcs to roll with you like on SA.

They already did a GTA: London.

Yea if they wanted to represent how the ? is these days here in LA it would be the vagos invading the ballers and grove st territory. Cuz that's what's happening these days there's so many more Mexicans than blacks, with the remaining ones moving to the south that the Mexicans are just taking over a lot of the black hoods -
fucc reality they should do a fantasy city on some star wars ish
nah ,but they did that with gta 2 it was set in the future with laser guns electric chain guns etc. -

gta san andreas in the city of las venturas. you can use the slots. -
tbh I don't see any other place in America that would make a good gta setting besides new York, la/cali , or Miami. in cali you can feature other cities like san diego san fransisco etc. but in America besides new York or Miami every other place is whack and doesn't look like a good setting for a racing/crime game. now when I say whack I mean the lay out for the city isn't fit for a game that would envolve a lot of racing and car chases. take Atlanta for example theres too many hills. I mean wtf is next gta Oregon? gta seattle gta set in Scottsdale Arizona? you get me? as for the south the only other place I can see a gta going down besides Miami is texas.

..uhh yeah we cant wait to drive on the left side of the road and drive a little buggy putt.. putt ass car with the steering wheel on the right side of the car. oh yeah that and car chases with a thousand roundabout streets. the first i'll do when I play is go to the hood find a girl that looks like 9th side and trap in a bando. -
Gta in Chicago or Miami is the only thing that makes sense

It'll be based on one character, black guy who never left the projects. Gets caught up with rednecks who dispose bodies to alligators in the swamps. Then he gets caught up with some shady government people and starts doing missions concerning the levies (without actually blowing them up). Katrina hits and he has to survive the flood. After Katrina he begins his rise to power by blackmailing the government based on his people saying they heard a bomb go off.
You got Bourbon St. The swamp/ Bayou. The projects. ? could be dope.
Mafia 3 is basically going to be this but its set in late 60s or 70s i think.
