If I may add on to what you have posted Drakul...
What if the new game provided you with a starting city, lets say New York for the hell of it, and the rest of the game (citys) were free downloadable content to your system. That would be awesome. Then again I have no idea how much data that would be, and I am guessing it would be alot, and would take forever to download. |

Quick rough paint drawing, buit that is how I would set up the next GTA.
as you can see the green is forested areas seperating the major citys, of couse have a few hick towns ala Blueberry in San Andreas I included the major citys for the US, The Mississippi, The Nevada Desert, and The Great Lakes, now before you nit-pick, this is not to scale, and only roughly put the citys in the right areas, of course it wont look like the actual states. And if you cross that invisible red line, Border Control comes after you (storyline wise, you are unable to leave the country due to criminal record) What do you guys think? |
I think the next gen systems (GTA6, maybe 5 or 7 depending on how they label this gen's) will get something like GTA:USA and it'll be an MMO. I think that's the next logical step for the series after this gen. They could have expansions which would open up other countries/continents.
Something like that I think is too big to have at the scale of Liberty City for this gen. |
Grand Theft Auto as an MMO would be pretty amazing, I think.
|
I believe I said they should call Kansas City Heartland City, and St. Louis could be St. Francis or something like that.
|
That would be an ambitious DLC plan. I don't think the public will ever be willing to buy 'code' even at a decent price. You need a base city and game on disc. But your idea works in that people could expand their GTA universe as they see fit.
Heh, GTA World. |
I would be really neat if you could escape a city and the local cops would have to stop chasing you.
|
And then you have the feds on your ass.
|
Possibly. Should depend on your wanted leave. No Fed is going to give a shit in real life if you cross state lines while speeding.
|
They did that with SA. Once you left the city eventually the state police would take over.
|
Shut up honkey.
|
I heard the next GTA was gonna be in a city called either of the three but in a totally different era and country, like to suggest there is another country with the same city names at another point in history.
|
I'd like to see them mix it up and give us a Western. I can't think of a game anywhere near the scope of GTA with an old west theme. The only problem with it would be the soundtrack.
Or they could make a branch of the GTA engine and do it as a separate series. |
Thing is with the technology, I dunno if a fuckin desert would do its potential justice. I mean I'm thinkin a Western would be flat, few mountains maybe but nothing to actually make it useful as far as gameplay.
What about....and I've always thought this would be the daddy... A futuristic-but-not-too-futuristic minority report type metropolis. With a story that focused on technology and advanced weapons as not only whats in the gameplay, but also the story. |
Western United States is full of mountains.
|
Yeah, so what? What fucking use is a load of mountains on a GTA game? a few missions and to make the scenery look good. And yeah, its FULL of mountains so again, its not a good thing.
You'll be driving shitty cars, not many of them either in those days so thats like 5 different types, a few fuckin farm vehicles, great. Whats that riding horses? no thanks. Its a nice thought but let's let the western idea die gracefully with that piece of shit GUN. |
Your "logic" is impossible to follow.
|
Not really, I made a point in relation to the idea, and then backed it up with something else to support its relevence, yinno how the fact that while you might like a Brokeback Moutain type computer game, there is only so much fun mountains can provide in terms of the landscape in a game.
Plus my minority-report idea pisses all over it. |
Why would Grand Theft Auto try to be minority report when it is already Grand Theft Auto. If there was going to be a minority report game, it would probably just be minority report. Your idea is asking Grand Theft Auto to be something it isn't.
I'm not saying a game based off Minority Report would be crap. I'm just saying Grand Theft Auto is its own game, and more and more it is based off real life gangs and events with place names just changed. |
I refer to the film purely based on its metropolis in the future type look, the scenery. Not the characters, the plot or the fucking pre-cog bullshit. Just the city.

Now, if they set a GTA in the not so distant future, that might be cool...but I still think it should be another game because of how Grand Theft Autos already are. It would just feel wierd in the context of GTA. I'm not sure how to explain it. |
Fuck all that. Let's have GTA Solar System. In this you become an astronaut and you go to the moon collect rock samples and shit. It would be glorious.
|
RottingFreak, they made that game, it is called Mass Effect.

Was playing GTA4 on my mate's Xbox he has lent me and I can't get used to the driving style. It vexes me. |
Ah, that makes much more sence. But then the problem is, how far into the future? Would they be energy weapons? Would there be gay floating cars? Would it be in the time of transition where there were still plenty of gas engines and solid round weapons while there are prototypes of new vehicles and weapons availble?
As far as driving, do you know how to drive in real life? I'm not trying to knock you, I just don't know where you live and how much mass transit/bicycle riding is done where you live. Because you want to drive like you would in real life. If you speed and never slow down in really life, it is impossible to make turns. In GTA, it is the same. |
Hmmmmm, it would be pretty complicated.
I dunno about weapons, I was thinkin of more like futuristic gadjets like hologram decoys, face replicators, stuff like that. Like the main cities would be like Minority Report, or even 5th Element style. But then the suburbs kinda like a utopia, everywhere is clean cut and I jus got this idea that as opposed to the other games where a lost of the cityscape and suburbs are gang neighbourhood, this could be more orientated around the idea of a clan cut utopia, and the problems lie deeper in the story - terror threats and terrorism, a political element maybe? I dunno. And yeah I do drive, pretty much in a countryside, about 10 mins from a town. But yeah I get what you mean. I dunno.... jus somethin a lil more different I'm thinkin. How about 1960s London again? lol |
Future idea should definately be another game, it would be ok like if it was perfect dark or something.
|
On an unlrelated note I am enjoying having an Xbox 360 very much and I completed Call of Duty 4 last night. Go me.
|
I truly hope this one is far better then GTA4
|
GTA: Hawaii anyone? I know at first thought it seems lame, but they really could go places with this. I mean they always can have you fly to the main land, or go to Japan. Plus their could be ship levels too.
|
GTA: Hawaii could be big. I mean they have the island, so they don't have to explain why you can't get to the mainland. It would be interesting to say the least.
I was watching Gangland on history channel, how about GTA: Salt Lake City. The SLC has a horrible gang problem and in general an unruly counter culutre movement because the Mormons are so oppresive. I mean story line wise, you are every open to what is going on. Get caught up in the Church trying to silence people, then trying to dispose of the people they used to silence the others. |
I figured I'd make a GTA V thread but I see there already is one. Sorry for bumping such an old thread but it's better than a whole seperate thread. Plus I just found these posts here:

Anyway, the reason I'm posting here is because we can't be more than 6 months from an announcement. R* tend to announce games just as they wrap up developing their current one. With MP3 due out in, I think, March next year, GTA V announcements can't be that far off. So, lets get back to talking about what we'd like to see and/or where we'd like to see it. If you already posted ideas in 2008, have they changed? Improved? I came across this GTA IV fan made video and thought it would be a cool feature to have in GTA V online: <object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XeACdcaULRU?version=3&feature=player_detailpage"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XeACdcaULRU?version=3&feature=player_detailpage" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"></object> It would be cool to check out who was doing what. Maybe have the news chopper follow whoever has the highest wanted level, complete with updates on location and gamertag. Maybe even actions like "Suspect opens fire in mall. 12 officers down. Explosions." There was a time I spawned as I joined a Free Roam game in GTA IV and the first thing I saw was a dangerously low helicopter chasing a guy in a cop car chasing a guy on a dirt bike, all very close to each other. I would really have liked to have seen what was going on there and how it ended. If GTA V builds on how interactive RDR was, I'm sure watching other players could get some interesting results. Especially if there are gangs like in RDR. The news chopper would automatically be there with updates and footage on a gang war between player gangs (if we could make them) and AI gangs in "hideouts". Another thing that would be cool, especially in MP, would be a cherry picker. One of these (ignore that this one is LEGO) : http://images.wikia.com/lego/images/c/c8/8292.jpg One player drives, the other player stands on the back, the 3rd player can control it. Raising, lowering and moving the crane while the 2nd player opens fire would be great for causing mayhem. |
If GTA V was solely an improvement on GTA IV
- More save points, perhaps you can rent apartments or townhouses or something. Might add a new dynamic to the game. - Either less motorcycle chases or more control. - More aircraft, miss SA due to that. - A parachute, please. - An MP3 player option, to play songs stored o your system through the game. - Option to restart mission from where it starts gamewise not cut scene (eliminate driving tacross city many times) |
Parachutes are in TBoGT and there was a lot of people wanting them back before that so I'd assume they'll make sure they are in GTA V.
|
Didn't the XB versions of Vice City and San Andreas have a radio station that played your own music? That wasn't in GTA4?
|
Only San Andreas on XBox had that. GTA 4 on PC does though.
GTA4 doesn't on console. I don't think they could do it properly on 360 anymore, that's why Smackdown had that hack job of user playlists. Sony only supported the functionality after GTA4 was released, hence Burnout Paradise's patch. |
5 is already coming out? Wow, I played 4 for a few hours at friends house back in 2008 and haven't got around to buying it.
|
I was wondering why that feature went scarce. I loved it. The all-encompassing soundtrack thing is cool too but when the game uses it itself that was extra cool. I remember THUG had Tony Hawk say general things about your next track in a mock radio station before the song played. It did a lot for me.
