OMG OMG OMG - NEW YORK!!!!-  FANTASTIC.  First thing I do when I drive into Manhattan is stop somewhere and get me a slice then I carjack somebody and tear a$$ all the way to little Italy  and hold up Ferrara's and make off with a bag of connoli's

I LOVE THIS GAME ALREADY!

If it was set in New York City, I would laugh, because you would see people going "Allah Akbar" and crashing into the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. Oh well, we'll see.

It shouldn't be.  They've already done it there, as well as Los Angeles, and Miami.  They need to do it somewhere else.  I was thinking Chicago, but their time was over in the 60's.  Maybe Atlanta or Baltimore...they've both got huge drug/murder problems, it would only make sense.

Rockstar have expressed strong interest in moving GTAIV somewhere outside of the US.

Many cities were mentioned in SA (and Rockstar traditionally put hints for the cities in the previous game). I can remember Germany, Brazil, Australia all mentioned in SA. There was like 20 others though.

Rockstar did that on purpose so fans could be confused at to where GTAIV could take place I suppose.

It probably won't be. I don't see why they'd make it real after LC, VC and SA were all fake names for real cities.

EDIT: They'd probably get sued like crazy for putting in a real name though. As if any city's government wants GTA to take place there! Great tourism....not!

True. Rockstar knows some will react like that though.

I'm 100% sure Rockstar will not put GTAIV in Liberty City again. I couldn't be more sure it will be elsewhere.

Wait, Wait.. Idea. Now think this. Now what if they did, but instead progessed the time or some sort of after thought of Vice City. Like say this "this is my story when I was a kid, and this is what happened. This is how I reacted after my eyes saw *main guy in GTA3--memery lapse--*."

I'm so confused at to what you're trying to say...can you explain it again? Sounds like you're onto something and I love hearing different aspects of how GTAIV could play out.

Dude this would be cool if they set it in Asia. Some kind of drug deal went bad and your stranded there and some guy takes you in and helps you out. You get to fight Yakuza and crazy modern Asian Pirates. And not to mention the colourful surroundings..

Another setting that would be cool is in the 70s. Somewhere in the US. You would meet Truth when he was younger. The character you play won't know who he is, but the gamer (you) would know who he is. It would be funny if truth was some bussiness man and you somehow made him into a crazy paranoid hippie. It would be cool to tie in some of the character's backgrounds. Just like that attorney you see in San Andreas that was also in Vice City.

Anyway, those are my ideas...what do you guys think of them?

Oh yeah, you just reminded me Japan has been strongly rumoured to be the next place GTA will go.

I think Rockstar even licensed the name GTA: Tokyo. Then again, they've also licensed many others and never used them. I think GTA: Bogota was the latest.

that's strange...don't they usually give fictional names to their cities? I mean san fransisco was called san fiero, and los angeles was called los santos. seems strange they would use real names.

Well if anyone actually played GTA1.  You'd know that the cities in the game were Vice City, Liberty City, and San Andreas.  If you look at the map of LC you will see that its manhattan with a little bit of jersey and brooklyn. queens and the bronx.  So I guess if Rockstar wants to keep rehashing old places they'd use London again.

Yeah, they won't use a real city name.

But if they licensed a fake name then everyone would automatically assume it's the real deal. Tokyo and Bogota being licensed are just ways to excite fans.

Thats what i thought

Same here.

It's actually a combination between New York and Chicago. The El-train on Portland mostly, as New York isn't as centralized on those as Chicago is. Downtown Chicago has an El-Train Track visible from nearly every street corner.

If we're hoping for a city ripe with crime in the US/NA, there's only one option: Detroit. All other ones are far inferior. But I hope it's a city outside of the US, and certainly not Tokyo (or a clone of it). I think Bangkok could be an interesting place, as well as Rio de Janeiro.

I wish they would do it in one of the asian cities with the lights everywhere and such, would make afor a crazy cool game. I also wish they made every room of every building accessible. While most would have nothing useful in them they could hide tonnes of stuff for peope to search out.

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.

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

Not even close.

Phoenix, D.C. or Chicago with Gary, Indiana included.  I'm personally hoping for London or an Asian city like Seoul.

I personly hope it's not,because gta 3 was based in new york type city and it's very dull.

If it is the Main city and there will be a tropical island or something else then I'll be fine with that as long as your not stuck in new york,if that is even the main city at all.
