This morning VG247 put this post up. It is .... weird and very off topic, but it says GTA V will be set in Hollywood and will be announced at a Max Payne 3 event that is held 'soon'. Eurogamer followed up with this post, getting confirmation from an "independent source" that R* is indeed "ramping up research on locations around Hollywood". There is a but though: "Our source could not say whether the research was specific to the GTA series."

Since LA Noire is situated in the Los Angeles area it could very well be for that game, but it is so late in development now that it probably doesn't need research anymore. It might also be for Agent or a game that hasn't been announced yet. That said though I find the idea of GTA Vinewood intriguing. A storyline with drug dealers to the stars, C-celebs having meltdowns, over the top studio bosses, porn directors ... the possibilities are endless. Plus it immediately made me think of Vice City.

On the other hand, a GTA game set in Hollywood sounds a bit weird. I mean, why not the whole of Los Angeles? GTA:SA did it and added both San Francisco and Las Vegas. Just Los Santos could be a possibility. If so, my bet is on a Latino being the main character. I don't think we'll be seeing CJ ever again somehow.

One can only hope, although if they make it like GTA4 I'll probably pass.
 
If they can make it what Vice City was to GTA 3 i'm all over it.

Even if it's not.
 
well, GTA IV was a revamp of GTA 3, so a logical sense of direction would be to head towards vice city. that is, if they planned to go in that remake direction. hopefully not as i thought vice city sucked pretty hard and even now playing through it with some mates at uni - whilst fun for laughs - it doesn't hold up at all. still, any GTA is good GTA, so whatever.
 
i thought it was terrible. the 80's is not a era i particually want to participate in, unless it's to do with hardcore punk. horrible map, terrible missions and worst of all - the biggest slap in the face because it's something i invest a lot of time in with the games - the radio stations. good god, thank **** they allowed your own music to play off of the xbox harddrive.

i'm not a wannabe nostalgic of the 80's or a fan of scarface, really. i loved GTA 3 and i loved SA, though. i'd love a remake of SA or something similiar, esp. with the recent boom of the wire/the corner and the like. i actually want to go back and play it just because of the wire.
 
If they go back to Vice City it'll probably be in the present day like GTA IV. They would have to remove some of IV's most important features (cell phone) if they were to go back to the 80's.
 
But there was a cellphone of sorts in Vice City!
 
SA was my favorite GTA game, I liked the overall story (it had some flaws but it was good), Vice City had the music behind it, but the story was so & so, gta 3 was ok, fun but not alot to it.
 
please, no more latino shit.
 
You know.....what ethnicity hasn't GTA done??
 
All I care about is:
-no more Liberty City for god's sake it's so goddam boring
-put some silliness back into it. jetpacks, tanks, make Saints Row 2 look like a normal game
-CO-OP
 
Sounds like a San Andreas remake to me. Hollywood alone is too small a setting to base a game on. While San Andreas did have the best features in the series, it also had the worst setting. I'd rather have them revisit Vice City.

I still don't understand why they haven't remade GTA London 1969/1961. That would be a nice change of atmosphere.
There's plenty of pop culture that they can draw inspiration from.
 
GTA V - Sydney.

It's a pretty big drug scene, down there, from what I hear. Bikies, Wogs, and I'm sure Rockstar would have a field day with the exploitable Australian stereotype/culture/thing that you guys seem to like about it.
 
I want GTA Japan.

I mean come on, Yakuza in their home territory, fictionalized biker gangs with swords as well as guns... anime nerds.

Imagine the Shibuya crossing with Euphoria.


Black Rain.



Go to 5:30 and watch onward. Big Spoilers for the movie obviously, if you intend to watch it from the beginning. It's a good movie.

Oh, this game again :)

GTA: Vanaheim
 
You know, I don't really care where the **** it's set, as long as I get a continuation of...

PRINCESS ROBOT BUBBLEGUM!!!

^This

This, this oh god this.

I've had enough of Liberty City. Also the reason why I liked Saint's Row 2 more is because it didn't take itself so seriously. Plus, septic avenger is gonna be a hard one to beat. lol

GTA IV's only saving grace for me is it's superior vehicle physics and damage.
I'd love to smash up vehicles in a Saint's Row 2 style destruction derby with GTA IV's realistic vehicular damage physics.

Then go yell your demands at Saints Row and leave my "serious" GTA alone :arms:

Oh, to hell with you. Vice City was a masterpiece. IV on the other hand is not at all good, and I'd like the series to return to what it established in the 3-VC-SA trilogy. You know, fun, parody, in-your-face irony and a flamboyant world, populated by equally flamboyant characters.

Right, or drop right back down to the 1930's complete with a windy city setting. I don't think anyone would pass up the chance to see Costner's Elliot "Let's do some good!" Ness incarnated in the GTA world. There's plenty of untapped decades to indulge in.
 
Vice City was by far my favorite of the '3' era, but I don't see what was wrong with 'IV'. It's different; a lot more mature. I thought it was engaging.

sounds like someone hasn't played the ballad of gay tony. there isn't really any need for a vice city after that. well i guess they forgot to populate half the map with a over-sized and pointless beach but aside from that, let me check: fun, over the top missions, parody, irony, eccentric flamboyancy with ridiculous characters and it even has shit radio!

go play it.
 
I really think they should do GTA: Nunavut & Iqaluit: Stories.
That would really be an amazing game.

As long as they don't put jetpacks and shit in the story, I don't care. I loved the realism of GTAIV.

/me serious face
 
GTA: ........GTA...


Yeah. You heard that right.
 
I'm kind of dissapointed if it's true. I Would have liked to seen something new.
 
GTA: Texas would be fun.

GET UM!!

Take his pants off HUY HUY HUY HUY!!


Plus everyone has guns and you could still have immigrants and Mexicans going nuts and messing up shit. But I think it would be cool to just split the story up. Playing both sides of the law for a change with 2 completely different characters
 
This game can be pushed in so many directions yet they keep the same style for every game, why can't we have a GTA: London in next gen or something, mix it up a bit. Will still get it most likely though >.>

But saying that I did really enjoy GTA 4 and its more down to earth approach.

Same. It was the serious story/'realism' which made IV for me, absolutely loved it and both the DLC packs. I can't really comment though as I've never taken the time to finish any other GTA (though I am currently in the process of doing so!).
 
Well, SanAndreas was by far, the most over the top, fake looking GTA out there. Very fun game, regardless. Vice City was about realism too (but it was more of a scarface spinoff and still had some "wat" moments), but the technology wasn't quite right at the time. Same with GTA3.
 
Man. I hated the realism in GTA 4. In a sandbox game, the world needs to be your oyster. You need to really be able to **** around with that world.

Saints Row 2 gets a bad rep around here. But I can't speak highly enough of it just for how much fun it is to plop into a game with your buddy and get your chaos juices flowing. Give it a real chance. Play it with a buddy for a week. You will go back to GTA 4 and see how dull it is. Everything available in the singleplayer game is available online too. GTA can't say that. GTA can't say that you can take off your clothes and get a wanted level for streaking through the map. NOPE! Yea. They bust through a TRAIN WITH A MOTORCYCLE in that second video. GTA DOESNT EVEN HAVE TRAINS IN MULTIPLAYER. Not even RDR has trains in multiplayer. RDR's world is barely even alive in multiplayer!

It's just a matter of time till they finish a decent SA-MP like mod for GTA4 and unlock all the fun that's hidden deep underneath it.
