What would you guys like to see in the next GTA game, personally I really enjoyed the 3 different characters from GTA V, so if they keep the multiple characters going in the next installation if 1 was a dirty cop (Vic Mackey from the shield style) being able to twist the law to suit your needs ect

come back in 3 or 4 years son.

*cough* Vice City *cough*

I want multiplayer a bit more like Burnout Paradise. You know, with objectives in the open world like everybody get 5 seconds of air time or everybody meet up at the airport and barrel roll over everybody else. Or at the very least I'd like the missions to take place in freemode. So if I'm in an open world with 15 other players and I want to start a mission I don't have to load into a matchmaking lobby, then set a bunch of variables then load into the mission and then at the end there is a results screen and then a vote and then you just bail out to freemode anyway. I just want the mission to load into the world and if people want to help out that's cool, if they want to fuck with you, that's cool too, or they could just ignore you. The gang attacks, crate drops and marked cars for Simeon are a sort of half step in this direction.

I want the singleplayer to be more like Dark Souls singleplayer. I want to pick up an extra person or two at the bar or something to make any mission a co-op mission. I want other people to come into my game and fuck it up. Like, if my mission is to take a package somewhere and deliver it, I want someone else to have a mission to follow me and steal the package, or kill my contact or something. Basically I want it to feel like I'm not the only insane criminal in the city.

I would like to see more guns and guns improvements or combinations

A female lead character would be an interesting step and finally blow that whole "female characters can't sell video games" guff out of the water.

LONDON.

Barring the creation of an original setting, a return to Vice City would be nice. I could take or leave a female lead. I think a female lead would be much more interesting in a new Bully.

A story that isn't absurdly long. Have three main characters with three consecutive stories or something. Make it feel not as tediously long to complete the game as the previous ones have been. Make the tone serious again as well. Tone down the overt amount of the GTA-staple satire.

GTA: 1908

Mash X to turn that hand crank before you get BUSTED!

How about online heists? That sounds like an amazing feature that I'd totally buy a GTA game for.

I've said it for years. Make a gta that takes place in the 20s and have it center on a gang of bootleggers.

I think they're gonna go for Vice City, considering that's the most requested location from the community.

New Orleans and the surrounding area.

• A story about stealing cars.
• The game to be co-developed by a racing dev. I want first-person driving, manual transmissions, realistic traction, acceleration and breaking, etc.
• Denser traffic. Chases to me are more exhilarating when they involve delicate maneuvers.
• One female character. There can be a guy or two to please the frat boys.
• The map to be part of a mainland instead of an island. I also want the streets to be less grid-like.
• Maturer humor and a better script. Hire a real writer.
• The story to be blended better with the gameplay. I don't want there to be so many cutscenes and mission markers.
• A sense of urgency, which most open world games lack.
• More interiors. Elaborate interiors.
• More responsive and tighter foot controls. Euphoria can stay, but the gameplay is prime.
• A bigger punishment for murdering civilians, or the character to acknowledge that they are a psychopath in the story if the player does. If the player is caught for a serious crime, I want a Game Over instead of jail time.
• I don't know if GTA V has the carrying system from Max Payne 3, but I want that.
• Children.
• A vast countryside with good level design. Too many countrysides in games are empty.
• An advanced melee system. I want shooting to be secondary.

What if they went back in time to the alcohol prohibition days in the US? That could be interesting and bring some well needed fresh ideas into GTA. The cars, activities, cloths and weapons would all be old school.

GTA = Greater Toronto Area

GTA V-2.

Better writing and a story that isn't the same old immature satire of the American dream.

This. Maybe the 20s or 30s. Or maybe in the WWII era (late 30s - early40s). That'd be cool.

But as far as just little changes over GTA V, I don't know if I have any. I enjoyed my time with it, and I didn't find it to be quite as tedious to get through as GTA IV or San Andreas. I actually finished it and enjoyed doing so.

I'd like it to be set in the wild west

I would like to see them ignore any of the suggestions i've read so far in this thread.

Seriously though i don't know, it's probably 5 years away anyway so any suggestions here will probably be obsolete anyway, i think the modern day USA setting is getting a little tired though. Maybe take it to the UK.

I can't understand people asking for mature humour or cutting out the satire. Also some of these suggested settings... You guys realise at a certain point it no longer fills the mission statement and if they were going to do these things they would make the game under a different name. Personally i would rather see Rockstar pursue two or three other releases of different settings and time periods in place of another GTA at this point.

Isn't that just Red Dead Redemption?

I want GTA VI: Tokyo Drift.

I didn't like the 3 protagonist thing at all. I really hope they don't go in this direction for the next one. I'd like to be able to customize my character like GTA: San Andreas or at the very least a single protagonist. The loading screens switching between them was a drag, and everything just didn't feel right.

Personally I think San Andreas is still the strongest in the franchise. I want something like that but in a new area they haven't visited yet. I definitely don't want 3 protagonist Miami.

A few other things:

• I hated the stock market and online phone stuff.
• I didn't like the online at all, it felt clunky and unorganized. There is such a huge potential here for an online GTA game but I think they lacked in execution this time around. I mean just look at how terrible the character creator was.

Seems like they've lost some good writing staff since gta4. Rdr and gtav had far weaker roster of characters so rockstar needs to pick some more talented writers as that's where they use to shine. Gameplay wise they are heading in the right direction so I'm excited what's next.

Less breadth to the world and more depth.

I want smaller areas, but I want to be able to go into every building and have more meaningful NPCs in a smaller area.

Keep it in one 'hood, know what I'm sayin? I don't need a map the size of Small State that only has select meaningful areas.

I got this, I got this: Grand Theft Russia.

There's never been a better time

Take it back to London, or some fictional working class port city since Rockstar doesn't do real world locations any more.

Or an outlandish 60's biker gang theme, like what Ride to Hell was supposed to be originally.

I think I'm done with it at this point... I don't think there's any game franchise that I once loved so much that I could give less of a fuck about anymore.

Forget GTA.

Give me more Red Dead and a Samurai game in the same vain.

Either London or Tokyo inspired locale.

Red Dead Redemption 2 (or is that just Red Dead 3 now?)

Then I would really like a London themed GTA. I highly doubt they'll move away from US style locations though so presumably another Vice City styled game. I do wonder though if they will go back to a period piece though. GTAIV and V have both been modern settings - do they chance their arm at the 80s again?

Actually fuck it. Bully 2 but set at University.
