If they did go ahead and do it, I'd imagine it'd get even more criticism than usual.

After it comes I can just see someone criticizing it because it'll "promote terrorism" or something like that.

Considering all the other GTA's took palce in some past decade it's not unreasonable to assume the game will take palce before the towers were destroyed (and thus they will still be there).

I think we might be going back to Liberty City, but I would still rather have it be a fictional place based on a real location, I think it's just better that way, but if they do go to "the real New York", I better be able to buy the Yankees and then trade A-Rod.

Yup, I was about to post that.
Its also the reason why the Dodo bird plane has its wings cut off in GTA III, so people can't recreate the 9/11 tragedy...

I'd rather have a fictional city designed for great game play scenarios.

Real city's don't make the best video game locations.

It's better to take some recognisable areas and make the rest up.

Vancouver would be a really good one. The fact that guns are illegal in Canada would add an interesting twist. And Vancouver has enough smuggling, drugs, and other unlawful acts to make it believable.

I highly doubt the next GTA installment will be set anywhere in America,Rockstar know that in order for the game to be mindblowing it must be set in a completely new environment,inorder to achieve this they'll opt for a country/countries in Europe.

But it's true, and they might be there since Rockstar cares very little about press negativity and all of the previous games were set in the past.

Or Winnipeg (the crime capital of Canada). I swear it's like the Compton of the north.

It will be disappointing if they do it in another New York related city. They need to something completely new. Just like they did with san andreas. 32 million units strong.

Take-Two does have moral fiber(however limited), they don't want to upset potential customers and if you could actually destroy a building with an airplane then that would probably upset a lot of people and hender the sale of the game. If it is in New York then I would bet TT would add some sort of memorial as an easter egg of sorts. Just to get some free positive press.

I would like to see an asian theme in the future. Like Tokyo or Hong Kong. No one would expect that. Both beautiful cities by the way. Especially Hong Kong.

No offence, but after studying Law, thats a terrible idea.
Also, I live in Vancouver, and the city is rather small in comparison to previous Grand Theft Auto's (Vancouver is Canada's 3rd largest city, compare Canada to United States and then take the biggest cities in the United States and you have previous GTA's).

And Vancouver has way too much open (and useless) space for a video game.

As for your weapon idea, do you really think you'll find snipers and rocket launchers in Vancouver? Definitely not.

I think the best part about having it in Vancouver would be the weather and climate changes, having snow and such on the roads would add some cool new gameplay elements, but that can be done in America too.

I understand why you think Vancouver would be a good choice, but there are much better choices.
