Grand Theft Auto V set in France?

So you'd go around the city and everyone would have Pepe Le Pew accents?

"Monsieur, don't take my car!"

[Jamegohanssj5]

I'd cream myself if this was true; however, I still want my damn PS3 Vice City.

TGSI

[ElementX]

It's time to move on to bigger and better things. I want something other than a remake of an old title.

[Zedux]

the question is... Will Grand Theft Auto V be the game it can be?!

[FuckinUsername]

But the original First gta had the same cities aswell..

"Grand Theft Auto takes place in three large cities, all of which are modelled after real cities: Liberty City which is based on New York City, Vice City based on Miami, and San Andreas based on San Francisco"

Vomir

[Hellsvacancy]

I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope this aint true - bring it 2 London/Uk and perhaps travel 2 France/other Eu countries 4 1-off missions

[whoelse]

The evidence in this article does point to a French GTA, but I just can't see it happening. Sorry.

[Disccordia]

It will not be called Grand Theft Auto V

[WeaseL]

If its on 360 & PS3 it will just be France but if they make PS3 exclusive they could use all of Europe.

"Man Pen!s being shown in lost and dammed"

As opposed to woman pen!s?

So what's up with every other developer showing barely clothed tits and ass? How about the film industry? All you see is T and A, never c0ck, except a glimpse in 28 Days Later.

So what if there's a d!ck in a game? You have one, don't you? I'm sure you don't avoid looking at yours. Next time just close your eyes and quit complaining.

[ReviewsArePolitics]

I would absolutely love GTA Paris, with the Eiffel Tour, Arc du triumph, Louvre Museum, tons of Moroccan/Tunisian gangs, multi-cultural cosmopolitan city... It would allow itself for many interesting missions.

[RememberThe357]

But I'm not opposed to is either. I think it's just need time to sink in. Plus, I'm not sure how an American audience would react to having a GTA game in France.

[edgeofblade]

Seems like recent GTAs have been more about commentary on the American way of life and it's myriad contradictions and counter-intuitive principles. I don't think Rockstar will give up the target rich environment of the US for French surrender jokes...

[memots]

Nooon please monsieur Do note Shoote me in the bagette !!

What arrrre you doiiing with that bleu cheese .. Noooo Do no shove it in there !!

Hehehe

don't worry i am French-Can so am allowed. :P

[BreakNeckSpeed]

Id rather Vice City IMO.

[memots]

San-andreas 2 ? and Then more of the same new-york city 2 . Then more Vice city 3.

Seriously how bout a little change.

[itsralf]

All the GTA games have been the same so far, needs some serious changes if they expect me to buy it. Especially after the horrible replay value of the 4.

[poindat]

If you have found the GTA games to be boring, then maybe it just isn't your thing. I doubt R* would make any radical changes to the series that made them successful, unless it stops selling, which I doubt will happen.

[itsralf]

I enjoy the series in general. I still play GTA3 all the time.
But that's because that one was a huge step forward.
San Andreas had a little variety...
But they all seem too similar.
But that's just my opinion.
I just think a new city would be a nice change.

[BigKev45]

France? HAHA, please. Next up Vice City!!!!

[kaveti6616]

We've seen Vice City. Don't you want something fresh?

[The GOAT]

Why does everybody want another remake? Why not want something new(not France though)? It reminds me of the South Park episode where the kids stop directors from remaking classic movies. That is what gamers need to do, keep the classics they way they were and want new and exciting games. But hey, I guess that is just me. :/

[Abriael]

The time they'll get smart and set a GTA in Tokyo, the GTA series will be decent.

[kaveti6616]

Tokyo would be great. But the problem I think with that would be that Rockstar often makes the people in the cities stereotypically stupid. Like in San Andreas there's rednecks and old women who are mean and gangbangers and hos and stuff like that. To make the game take place in Tokyo, Rockstar would probably use Asian stereotypes in the game, which might offtend Japanese people. Same with doing the game in Paris.

[George Sears]

I don't want to drive on the left side. =P

[Ninjamonkey]

side is for winners =P

Anyway what about London for the new game. Maybe then people overseas will realise that the old games of monopoly dont actually give a fair representation of modern london XD

Sorry guys but we dont say "spiffing" anymore or wear top hats...

[Eiffel]

Top hats are ace.

[jp_footy2]

I would like to see it in London

[Shane Kim]

Give us GTA Stockholm!!

[andfed]

mr president, in France you drive on the right side.

[HobbsCanuck]

That could be any shore line. It matches up with France nicely, but it could also be a cove.

[gareno]

A lot of you here don't seem to want Paris but another American city such as Chicago and stuff. Seriously you American people, the United States isn't the only country out there. How many GTA's have already been in the U.S.? Exactly, it's time for something new, and Paris would be ideal.

I've been to Paris twice and it's a beautiful city, way more beautiful than any American city, go there for yourself and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Back on the topic of GTA in Paris. It would be awesome! Why? Imagine going up the Eiffel Tower or the Arc de Triomphe. Getting to the other side of the city in no time using the ultra fast TGV's (Fastest subway's in the world). Driving in some crazy twisty roads (If you've been to Paris you know what I'm talking about)

Of course it would give GTA a kinda different feel in some ways. But you American people gotta suck it up and know that American cities aren't the only cities out there and there are lots of cool stuff elsewhere. And Paris is the perfect representation of Europe and would make an awesome GTA game!!

[JohnSlaught]

It could be fun if it was Nice with cars/stories like in Taxi (the French movies, not the terrible American movie). But I guess you're right that it would fit more with Paris in the line of the former big cities in GTA (New York, London, Miami, San Fransisco) and especially with the latest remake of NY (and the Statue of Liberty).

[Kakihara]

Oh please no, it's gonna be annoying not being able to get through a single mission without all your enemies surrendering.

[LeBart]

I swear I had never heard that one before ! Very clever !
Damn, are you never tired of not using your brain ? Make your on mind up instead of repeating everything like a parrot.

[Kakihara]

Make up my own mind instead of repeating everything like a parrot? How dare you suggest I would do such a thing, don't you ever get tired of not using your brain?

Okay, so it was a cheap joke based on stupid stereotypes but somebody had to make it. Just don't take it so serious. I know in actuality that the French aren't always surrendering to anyone who threatens them, they're much to busy eating frogs legs and visiting brothels for any of that kind of behaviour.

[xboxlover]

bubbles for you!

[poeo]

heh, i love this f*cking stupid "the french are pussies" attitude still going on.

they fought the HUNDRED YEAR WAR. what have you done?

Americans for example, are complete noobs when it comes to war, compared to European nations... Europeans have been warring centuries before USA was even founded... so maybe, just maybe we've kinda gotten tired of it.

[Memo-Xen x3100]

Mark my word.

[Master of Unlocking]

a GTA game set in France, or any other european country, for some reason. The Getaway series should be the one taking us for a trip to Paris, along with London, and even a third city, like Berlin. Now that would be cool, and would also make sense (Getaway 3 on PS3, with 3 cities, 3 main stories...)!

The fact it says Seagull, wich is an english word, is evidence that it probably won't be set in stinky-cheese land, too. They would have gone with a more french-sounding name.
No, to me, Seagull means it's gonna be in Seattle, which is both a good thing (new place, give us a break with vice city FGS), and a bad one (means we're gonna be treated to yet another installment set in only 1 city, and the next GTA won't be the San Andreas of this generation, apparently)

Don't know whether that means it'll take place in a big city bustling with life or not, though, or whether we'll get to kill gay people or not, but I'm not holding my breath on this one.

Oh, and by the way, zeph94: you're an @$$hole, man.

[Official General]

I'm British and this is my view....I dont care what anyone says, but GTA is much more suited to American-based cities and environments. These places just seem to have a much more varied and interesting organized crime scene compared to most other places. With the exception of Moscow in Russia and Naples in Italy, most European cities are nowhere near as violent as American cities, even the medium-sized ones! It just would not feel right playing a game like GTA in low-crime rate cities that are not normally seen as violent places. The many different ethnic groups and rich variety of Mafia-style syndicates and street gangs in American cities gives them the edge when it comes to GTA games.

Give us a modern-day Vice City remake set in modern-day times, set the main character as a Hispanic gangster in the drug trade, with all the best missing features and new ones too, and include the state of Florida - plus make it a PS3 exlcusive to make full use of the Blu-Ray and the Cell technology!

[AliTheBrit19]

Please not france :(

[Trevulate]

The poster doesn't say next stop...seagull, I think it says Theatre Seagull. As in what ever the poster is referring too, its opening in the seagull theatre (within the game world of course, not real life!)

[TheDudeAbides]

no offence, if it has to move to Europe make it in Serbia, Bulgaria evn Italy, in this region, i dont wanna France, the Saboteur is enough of France for me
I hope itll stay in the US, Vice City FTW!

hahahaha too obvious, its not a France

[darkvenom]

just no,Vice City FTW!

[JD_Shadow]

If overseas, try London or Tokyo or something. I don't think France fits GTA, for some reason.

In fact, I wouldn't mind a GTA Tokyo, actually.

[BigKev45]

It will be in Vice City.

[KeiKei]

i want el vice city =]

[Johandevries]

Vice City: built on the screen like the real miami (not just a scarface-like town), the power of the eighties, drugs, latino scene, over the top action, a large map with several other towns around Vice and the combination of the great serious features of IV and the rampages of SA.

They said: next stop is not a metropole, and that's something Miami isn't. Paris is.

[tonywood24]

REALLY, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!
Hey Rockstar, Bungie and Activision thinks your milking your 1 hit wounder! (LOL) OK, we get it, you can play with hookers, live in a world of stereotypes and racism, and brutally kill people...FOR NO REAL REASON!! Martin Scorcesee thinks the script for these games are ridiculous and overblown! BUT HEY, if people still buy it....then make your money!
(However, you will not get a nickel from me!) Although I was never a fan, I do see the art behind GTA games, and support vision/creativity.

However, Rockstar is living off people's desensitization of society. Goodfellas, Casino is ART, while Scarface and The Departed are spliced together with senseless violence/drugs/sex, and no story. The Departed was a rip off of an international (Hong Kong) movie, Infernal Affairs....which is OUTSTANDING! However, Americans care more about ridiculous violence and sex, not great stoytelling....Example, GTA games. (IMO) I'm not a hater, and support freedom of Art, Speech, and self expression. Rockstar has gotten away from all of their other projects and just wants to up the ante on sex, violence, and hate crimes....and that brings heat down on ALL THE GAME DEVELOPERS! You guys were great with the Midnight Club games....what happened?
