GTA V: Five Possible Locations - Tokyo, Moscow, Berlin and more

GTA V is in development at Rockstar Games. But which city did they pick? Berlin, Moscow, Tokyop? Here are some possible locations and why Rockstar should pick one of them.

[Prcko]

!

[ingiomar]

im getting true crime for that

[Voltago]

I think i go for Berlin. Never played something set there.

[MisterNiwa]

LOL? WHAT? AHAHAHAHA!
Can't remember that True Crime: Hong Kong is set in Tokyo!

And Berlin isn't really a place where GTA belongs.
London would fit a lot more.

[Yi-Long]

... should be reason enough not to buy it.

2nd reason would be that True Crime is Hong Kong. Not Tokyo.

3rd reason would be that Rockstar would probably deliver a MUCH better game. From what I've seen from True Crime HK, it isn't very impressive, and it also never really looks or feels like the real Hong Kong (although maybe that's because of the limited amount of media we've seen of the game so far...)

I would absolutely LOVE a GTA Hong Kong, or just set it in a fictional asian city that combines the best of the major asian cities.

I've been to Hong Kong a bunch of times, and it's the ideal playground for a sandbox game, even including 3 distinctly different 'islands' (1: HK island, which is more modern and western. 2: new Territories, which is kinda like 'older' and 'poorer' and suburbs and lots of hills. 3: Lantau Island: Lots of great nature, cable-cart, airport, industrial territory, etc etc.)

[A Cupcake for Gabe]

I would prefer something around Detroit in the winter. You have weather, a city, plenty of country and suburbs as well. The minority population is Mexican, Arab, and of course Canadians would be cool.

[WetN00dle69]

Yeah id love a Tokyo setting for GTA!
But please make the character into an actual Japanese main character.
Id really hate to play as a Weeaboo!

[nickjkl]

im telling you there wont be a gta5 till next gen

so far its GTA:X because we dont know what it is

[MikeGdaGod]

CHICAGO!!!!!!

[DelbertGrady]

they should make it so you start out as a nobody in a suburb to the city doing petty crime, and then work your way up and eventually move into the city and gain control over it. Rags to riches kind of story. Aging would be cool as well. Start as a teen and go through different stages of life. They should make so that you at one point in the game end up in jail, meeting new people and having to do missions before you are released. Like part of the story.

[fireplace]

Main story would take about 40 years then. Awesome!
There is to many short games in this gen.

[Dee_91]

start off as a 18-19 y/o in the suburbs doin petty crimes and get involved in some deep shit like drug cartels and gangs and shit

[iamnsuperman]

I think London would be a good setting but it doesn't fit the rockstar city or dividing the city into part....London really can only be split in half by the Thames. Also because GTA is made by a UK company then the British accents would be realistic (i.e. more cockney and less really posh/Australian sounding) las Vegas I think will be a bit hard to do for the same reason....Out of the past cities i loved san andreas because of it large open world from desert to urban

[RedDeadLB]

I don't think that the new GTA will be set in an existing city. My guess is on either Carcer City or Vice City, hopefully the latter.

[HeroXIV]

The idea of Berlin and Moscow is pretty intriguing because there aren't that many open world games (if any?) set in those destinations.

[tigertron]

Either London or Tokyo would be great. I know we have the Getaway for London, and GTA: London, but it would be good for a new London based GTA.

[Mutant-Spud]

They can set it in Lake Titicaca for all I care, after Red Dead I'll never buy another Rockstar game again.

[DoomeDx]

Are you serious? not buying a game from rockstar because Red Dead didnt meet your expectations?

Seriously, if you were talking about activision i would understand..but Rockstar?..

[Mutant-Spud]

Red Dead was a great game up to the point he crosses into Mexico, then it becomes an ugly, pointless rampage....also I couldn't get the multiplayer to work, in the 3 weeks I had the game I was only able to play 3 matches.

[Dee_91]

sooner or later your not going to buying any games because more than likely a majority of gaming devs will make something you wont like

your gonna be stuck there ... playing tic tac toe .. well when you lose at tic tac toe you probably wont play it any more
then you wont play games anymore so your gonna find a girl . she is gonna cheat on you so you will never date another girl .. so your gonna die without anything because all major companies will eventually produce something you wont like . you will be on the side of the street homeless because you refuse to buy anything because companies made stuff you didnt like.
moral of the story .. stop being a baby

[Mutant-Spud]

Bethesda won't let me down :)

[Clarence]

Tokyo

[Demonsdown]

They will probably stick to one of the three cities they already have established in the GTA fiction. (I don't think they count the early overhead games as part of the current GTA fiction since they have been staying away from calling the cities by real city names since the PS2 games.)

[DoomeDx]

GTA games NEVER take place in real existing city locations.

San andreas..Liberty City.. etc

It will probally take place in liberty city, with a new island?

Im probally the only one who LIKES Liberty City

[HeroXIV]

GTA : Mission Packs were set in London... A REAL place. :O

[MikeTyson]

GTA London for the PS1; search it bitch :P

[EL Lanf]

I think it should be in Glasgow or London. London has more recognisable landmarks, but few other places in the UK can match Glasgows reputation for being rough. Plus Glasgow isn't too far from rockstar north, and it'd be good for them to bring the series home.

[acky1]

Glasgow would be awesome, would be sweet to play a game where you actually live. Never gonna happen tho...we can but dream. Driving in your stolen clio to big jimmy the dobbers tenement only to find he's overdosed on heroin...again. Good times.

[Bathyj]

I keep telling you people it should be GTA:Hawaii. Citys to rural, beach to mountains, slums to high class, gangs, crime, volcanoes, hangliders, they're islands.

C'mon, what more do you want?

[e-p-ayeaH]

we have 2 Just Cause games for that already.

[Serious_J0nes]

Glasgow??
Rockstar's city's has allways been pretty Multicultural so i think Glasgow would be bottom of that list, For me its London or USA

[ndibu]

You'd play a surfer, fighting to control the beaches, including Bondi Beach or Bondage Beach in Gta lingo, against rival surfer clans and sharks...lol

[NnT3291]

Vice city plzz

[AliTheBrit19]

London!

Rockstar North are a British Developer, they should bring the series back to the UK

Or at least a parody of the UK, As in Liberty City being a parody of New York.

[razielsonofkain]

its limitless??? they might as well have said the moon too.

[BigKev45]

Vice City

[Syaz1]

i'd trust rockstar games on this one. but if i can make a wish, it would be vice city. not suprising though, because looks like they are rebooting the franchise. after all, as a 4th game, it basically goes into a new trilogy territory.

[SpinalRemains138]

GTA needs to be set within the Fatherland!

[Kiffy85]

I did like the idea what people think the hint is on the back of the GTA Liberty City Stories book. Have it set in the English Channel. This way you could split the game up into different areas and have the areas different countrys. The Countrys will not be the whole country but only a sort of made up part of it. For instance you could have england be London and sort of the areas leading up to the cost and have smaller towns in between. The other side you could have France and Paris being the city there. The way you can get there is by plane boat or the channel tunnel. This could add to sort of smuggling missions where you have to smuggle stuff into England and that. If there's room you could add a 3rd country like Belgium. No idea while just think it will be call to have Bruges in the game as it's a very different feeling city. I also like the film in Bruges and would be cool if there's part of the game where you do a mission in London but it goes wrong and you have to lay low for a while so your boss sends you to Bruges

[MikeTyson]

I agree with you; that way we are not set in only ONE city.

[Tunerboy8732]

I think it should be set in chicago this time.

[MikeTyson]

GTA World; we get to fly where ever the hell we want, even kill some Zebras in Africa.

[swishersweets20031]

just make it stay true to the formula, liberty, vice, san, futuristic world, or carcer city.

[B00M]

London! USA is old now for GTA. And why do people want vice city and liberty city again? Played those already.

[xCrazyStruddlex]

Just Cause 2 is the largest map for any free-roam game. Rockstar needs to make the map bigger or same size as panua.

xbox360 even had all that free-roamage cramed on its dvd format.. not a console bashing statement. Im just saying if just cause 2 can cram that much for a large free-roam game, Gta V can do the same just make it offline rather than online. IF you can make it online rockstar then thats even nicer.

[e-p-ayeaH]

A great location would be definitly an futuristic tokyo city with alot lightning storms and rain.

[skibdog]

Belfast!
lol
