Rockstar Warms Up For Grand Theft Auto V

The boys and girls at Rockstar Games are already gearing up for a new GTA game. “We'll think of a city first, then the characters,” says Rockstar's Dan Houser. The script he'll be co-writing is going to contain approximately 1,000 pages, nearly 10 times as much as a feature film. Well, no surprises there, seeing as players always have multiple choices and in movies there's only one course for the plot.

Anyhow, considering GTA IV's impressive sales from last year and the fact that (as of January 13, 2009) Rockstar shipped 13 million copies of the insanely popular action adventure, a full-blown sequel has always been a definite bet.

What remains to be seen is which city they'll end up choosing for the game's setting. Personally, I'd put the whole thing right smack on the moon's surface. No, people, no cats or dogs to run over. Only forgotten astronauts and any celebrity that might've bought lunar real-estate. Plus, the entire game would be in zero-G, so there. Epic.

With DLC exclusively for the xbox again? No thanks

Another Vice City in the 80s would be nice, still, something that hasn't been done before would be even nicer.

San Andreas was the best, it had vagas, country area, desert, planes, boats.............it had 10 times more gameplay than GTA4.

Though a setting base on Hong Kong's trait or Japan's Yakuza could be interesting I think.

It should be set in New Orleans. That would be an awesome place to have it. It would also let them get back to having a big world outside of the city proper (i.e., the marshlands to the south-east, some forests to the north and north-east, the crappy leach city that is Metairie to the west...). It would let them play with some really great architecture too. That would be exciting.

And if you drove down Bourbon or Frenchman street on a Friday night, you'd get loads of bloody bumper stickers.

I am really hoping for a GTA London.

Has anyone ever watched the movie Snatch? I think that type of London-Gangster setting would really translate well into a GTA game.

benihana [mail] Nov 16 2009, 09:12 am EST
Snatch and Lock-Stock are some of the most amazing movies ever. Brilliant.

Didn't they have some kind of GTA-like game set in London already? There was even a sequel I think. I don't remember if it was any good though.

How many wants to see a GTA based in India? To get an idea of how it could work, go and read the masterpiece Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. (They were supposedly making a movie on it featuring Jhonny Deep and Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan).

I for one will absolutely love it. Basing the story in Mumbai with the mafia lords, gangsters, politicians, actors, Rockstar has ample potential to convert it into a revetting plot. Fuck, put in a forgein character, i don't care. Just base it in India. If i had the money, i would invest with Rockstar on the idea. It's bound to work.

I hope that the story revolves around a 700 pound fat mexican/chinese badass character this time.
Ftmch [mail] Nov 16 2009, 02:01 pm EST
I actually hope they keep the slightly more realistic and serious tone of GTAIV in the sequel, actually, I hope they make it even more serious and realistic. I want to be moved.
benihana [mail] Nov 16 2009, 03:05 pm EST
Fucked: Really interesting. I don't think that'll ever happen though. It's just not commercial enough, from their view point (assuming I know it at all...). They have, thus far, gone with locales that are easily recognizable and that people in the US can relate to. That's why I thought New Orleans would make sense, since it's rife with crime and recognizable in a ton of ways.

Chicago would be too much like NY, so that's doubtful.

Mumbai really would be awesome though. Or Dubai! They don't even have a formal address system over there, so that would be a trip. Sky dive off of crazy rotating buildings! THey could even make up impossible buildings. That would be fun.

Ftmch: Yeah, I mean, I appreciated the seriousness of it. It really was awesome, but I felt like I had less incentive to do random side missions and such, ya know? San Andreas was a blast to just fuck around in, with friends taking turns whenever you died in some crazy blaze of glory with 100 cops riding your ass. IV was beautiful and plain awesome, but there wasn't as much replay value in it, and you felt the need to adhere to the story more and just progress the great character development.

I feel like they should maybe make a separate game that focused more on that, and let GTA stay in it's crazy mini-game, side mission world. Though I suppose games have to evolve some day, so I could be totally wrong.
Cheddar [mail] Nov 16 2009, 03:15 pm EST
Niko was the first GTA protagonist I truly liked and connected with, and he remained a vastly more compelling character than the two protagonists in the DLC expansions for GTA4 (Johnny and Luis). Indeed, playing the DLC with the new protagonists is sort of what clarified for me just how great a protagonist Niko was in particular.

Rockstar has never done it before with a GTA game, so I strongly doubt they'll start now, but... I'd love it if Niko returns in GTA5.
  Stick!: Uhm, Tommy Verceti was in multiple GTA games, GTA 3 and Vice...
Cheddar: You're incorrect. Claude was the protagonist of GTA3. Hel...
Cheddar [mail] Nov 16 2009, 03:34 pm EST
Anyway, you're never going to see a GTA game based in any city outside of the United States. It just wouldn't be GTA anymore.

This is because making a mockery of AMERICAN culture and society is a major overarching theme to all GTA games. Really, it's the major theme and premise of the GTA franchise, on every level.

Of course, theoretically Rockstar could choose to parody another country like india's culture and society with a GTA game, but the problem is that no one would really get it besides Indians themselves. And Indians themselves wouldn't even enjoy it, more than likely. India, with their intolerant caste system and severe religious divisions, isn't a very socially progressive country, to put it mildly. Definitely not the kind of country you'd generally expect to amiably accept the biting satire and parody GTA games are known for.

Whereas in contrast, everyone in the world (including Americans) enjoys making fun of American culture and society. And thanks to the global saturation of Hollywood movies, even most non-Americans know enough about the United States to enjoy GTA's parody of American life.

cheddar is ordering an american double-death, and a side order of DEATH!
and america wonders why there is so much swine-flu over there vs the rest of the western world (illegal Mexican immigrants are working in your food sector, SURPRISE!).

enron/crysler/gm and all american oil now belongs to us, yes your real parents took your toys (oil/money/industry) and now it's time for you to grow up and not be the bastard child of europe anymore (we'll get you health-care, but the oil is daddy's).

in The Netherlands we also call shell by it's official name: Royal Daddy's Shell.
who's your daddy? who is now, u little bastard? shell is your daddy that's right.

also with that oil we are good for over 70% of the global weapon trade, so u can not only suck on our oil you can also suck on our guns (lol).
as our royal family often says (it's good to be THE KING), keep sucking those burgers down (we dutch get our money anyway!)

HAR HAR HAR, cheddar haven't chocked on your american products yet?
o, that's right that xbox360 is made in Chinese factories using oil and coal from Royal Dutch Shell (please choke on it! that's why we ship it ;)
the more they break the more we make!

ever wondered why Europe sued Microsoft? and sucked billions out of them?
hey cheddar isn't Microsoft wonderful at paying up to Europe? please cheddar keep buying their products (it pays europe, so it's good for you)
har har.
please worry about china, while we are ruling the world (who has the most members in the UN again?)
  Cheddar: lol? What the fuck is all this nonsense he's going on about?...
Terminator: Stewie must have taken too many drugs last night.
Jedrus: Nice, really, really nice.
Amok [mail] Nov 16 2009, 09:03 pm EST
As expected, tho good news to read nonetheless. GTA IV was a great improvement in the series and I hope GTA V will do even better.

Don't overdo it with the jokes. The Moon as a setting one wasn't funny.

EDIT*

Oh, ROFLMAOOL @ thestewieman, that's good quality randomness!
Marku5K [mail] Nov 17 2009, 01:54 am EST
Just bring back ChatterBOX.

Take your meds, stewie.

They will torture us with the ‘unknown’, until our brains resemble “brain stew”.

It should be fine though.
