Rockstar came close to making Grand Theft Auto: Tokyo

[Lou Cypher]

I swear they need to do New Orleans, before, during & after Katrina. I think ima start a storyline and script for it. See if I can push it. I already got it played out in my head. It'll be based on one character, black guy who never left the projects. Gets caught up with rednecks who dispose bodies to alligators in the swamps. Then he gets caught up with some shady government people and starts doing missions concerning the levies (without actually blowing them up). Katrina hits and he has to survive the flood. After Katrina he begins his rise to power by blackmailing the government based on his people saying they heard a bomb go off.

You got Bourbon St. The swamp/ Bayou. The projects. Shit could be dope.

Thats a dope idea. Especially halfway through or whatever when disaster happens and the city is rebuilding, naturally, the police would not be at their strongest at that time and some crime would probably be a lot easier to get away with. Crime starts to rise but then the military comes in to provide relief as well as police support... So much potential for a story in there haha.

Mexico, Texas and New Orleans for this story. He starts working with the cartel and El Cheapo to go against the government and realizes they all the same.

Mexico would be GOAT too. Or go to Las Vegas to start out, get involved in drugs dealing, work your way up, work with cartels of mexico, fight off police and cartels.

fucc reality they should do a fantasy city on some star wars ish

 

[Stew]

I think they need to just do an add on and let us fly/drive out to Vegas until they can figure something else out. You cant mess that up.

 

[Lou Cypher]

Yeah totally surprised there hasnt been a Casino in GTA yet.

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

I thank god you niggas dont be in the room when game ideas are thought of

 

[So ILL]

They need to do one set back in the 60's, or around a war or something. I'd say farther back, but the character almost couldn't be black because of how it was back then, a nigga would stay with one star on the game and shit lol smh.

I think it'd be cool to have one in the past too. Maybe great depression days and your bootlegging from the big city to the country areas where they make the moonshine. Don't have to be a gta, but a Rockstar game based in that time would be dope.

 

[wmj710]

Sounds like they just wanted an excuse for a paid vacation

 

[RickyRich]

[RickyRich]

maybe they go bac to miami

 

[i ro ny]

The Grand Theft Auto series has never left the US—or its fictional account of it, anyway—but apparently it once came close to boarding Air O for a trip to Tokyo. According to our friends at TechRadar, a source close to Rockstar says the developer was "serious" about making a GTA set in Tokyo, but pulled the plug after assessing the difficulty of moving the series outside the US. According to the source, Rockstar even made a trip to Japan to scope out the city.

TechRadar also notes that in 2003, Rockstar applied for trademarks to protect "GTA: Tokyo" and "GTA: Bogota," and though the news was reported at the time, I don't recall it causing much of a stir. I think we all assumed: Sure, GTA can go anywhere, sounds good! But TR's source says that Rockstar decided against changing GTA staples like cars and brands. Speculation on my part factors in how much GTA has embraced itself as satire of American culture since then—to do the same for Japanese culture in GTA's not-exactly-nuanced style would be such a departure that I can't see it ever happening.

But while GTA: Tokyo may never exist, TR's source says that GTA 6 is in development (no big surprise), though a location hasn't been decided. I expect it'll be at least a couple years before we hear anything official on it. The gap between GTA 4 and GTA 5 was about five years, which would put GTA 6 in 2018 or 2019, if history repeats.

We've reached out to Rockstar for comment, and will update this story if we hear back.

stopped reading after that....

Now that I think about it, a London GTA with less guns and a fully fleshed out, multiple fight style system would be badass.

but yeah the vagos and ballers and shit just be standin around in they own territory chillin.....which is kinda current with the gang thing today....gotta remember San Andreas was in the 90's when that shit was at its peak.....im sure there's still turf wars but not like it was

Only way to get the gangs to shoot at each other is starting a shootout on Grove street with the ballers and then running on foot to the families turf smh. Should have kept the option of letting you recruit Npcs to roll with you like on SA.
