GTA V is coming

[DGuller]

One thing that really annoys me about GTA games is how vehicles are limitless and disposable.  That diminishes the value of cars, since you can always get any fast car you run across. 

I think cars and helicopters should be more like guns:  something that you would hate to lose, and would need to expend some effort or resources to replace.

I could never get into San Andreas, and never got far with it.  I hated the city, I hated poor controls from a bad port, I hated the gloomy atmosphere, and black gangs are just not somethind I can identify with.  It was a lot easier to see myself as a Slavic mobster wearing a tracksuit.

Incidentally, the last game I felt like I was playing a criminal version of Dguller.

Well this is America...

I'd love to see a redux of 1980s Vice City

I agree.  The Scarface ripoff setting was badass.

I wasn't big on SA.
What stopped me playing was the mission where you had to swim around for ages before doing it to build up your swimming skills.

I'm hoping for a return to Britain.
Probally not going to happen, but would be nice.

I forgot what thread I opened and thought you were tired of Japan already and wanted to go home.

I think they should do brand new city like Detroit... (2nd highest murder rates in USA) Or Rochester (first highest Murder rates... ) though they could also be unsolved murder rates. I also think it would be cool to play a dirty cop that eventually starts his own gang or something... That way you have the option of causing mayhem in a police outfit which would decrease your chances of being caught, but maybe put bad publicity on police station.

I think GTA should have an edition that lets you play a straight-up cop.  You would be parked in a patrol car and have a quota of tickets to issue for running red lights, speeding, and parking violations.  You would have a set number of domestic dispute calls to take.  For a challenge, you would need to fill out the paperwork regularly, and attend court sessions when people try to get out of a ticket that you wrote them.

I want to tazer hookers.

I want tanks back! Though DG a co op mode wuould be fun... just not in the way you were making fun of me....

[Grey Fox]

I want GTA2 back. Pisses me off to no end that Steam won't sell it individually.

I don't think this would sell very well. It takes a lot of money to make a GTA game so taking a huge chance based on some random internet guy's preference would be really poor business. But hey, maybe it's the rest of the world that is stupid, right?

Someone I think the quick and easy theft of cars is somehow integral to a game called "Grand Theft Auto".

It doesn't have to be ridiculously easy to the point of removing entirely a strategic consideration.

[Josquius]

I dunno, it still is a consideration. Slows you down majorly and makes you vulnerable for a while to try and steal another car. Many a time I've gotten killed as my  car was on the verge of exploding and there happened to be no new ones about.
One thing that really annoys me about many GTA clones is that they tend to be so bitchy on the value of cars. I don't play such games to carefully drive my way through traffic, cars are expendable and made to be bashed.

Yeah, I was thinking Detroit could be cool. The vast derelict areas could be rather interesting, and then having Canada nearby could play into things well.
And there's certainly enough Detroit pop culture to draw on.
