    Not disappointed in the trailer or the game or anything, but I would’ve loved to see a GTA set in a city outside the US. For example in a London-like city or Tokyo or Rome or Paris.

    But yeah this new GTA looks sick. They did a great job in capturing the new fucked up Florida vibe.

      If Rockstar wanted to bring back London '69 (maybe '89 now?) I wouldn’t be mad at all.

        I’ve always dreamed about this one, London 69 updated in their recent style. I think they talked about this before and the problem is the cops in London didn’t carry guns then so it made it difficult to be a GTA game in the typical sense.

      They have police in those city.

      All 2022 Rome had only 16 homicides… And street are too small and traffic is too bad for a grand theft auto… Rome is good for spy stories, thriller or stealth games. GTA wouldn’t really work

      In London not even police has guns… Having someone hanging around with a gun is too unrealistic, more than Harry potter

      Sleeping Dogs is probably as close as you’ll get. That’s a great game btw.

      USA as a very car centric country is definitely best suited for a car centric game like Grand Theft Auto.

      I always assumed GTA to be a broad parody on modern America. From the beginning it was a new York esque mob-gang warfare, and then moved out to add in more usa adjacent scenery. It’s more about keeping with the theme, let IPs like watchdogs take the initial risks.

        Good point. And Florida has become crazy enough that a GTA game set there is almost realistic.

      I’d like it just set in any new city outside of these 3. It’s always been a rotation of Liberty, Vice and San Andreas, even back to GTA 1 (which was the 3 cities in one)

      The Florida vibe is definitely oozing from this trailer. I can almost smell it, and quite frankly I’m disgusted. Bravo. I would’ve preferred the next GTA being somewhere else, but maybe this it exactly where it belongs.

      I want them to spin off another top down style gta game, I love the 3d but it would be cool to see them iterate on the OG style.

      GTA 2 was my favorite

        GTA Chinatown Wars was great when it released for Nintendo DS and the PSP. It was actually a really well done update to the GTA 2 style of gameplay that a lot of people missed because it was a portable game. It was available on iOS and Android, too, but not sure if it’s still there.
