Houser suggests GTAV not so concrete News

GTA World please. Start in Butlins then fly over to the Antarctic to shoot a polar bear in the face.

I like the way that they keep a low profile. I think it's rather classy of them.

1970's London, loads of Fords, birds and booze, oh yer "shut it you slagggggg"

GTA World or USA would be cool. They've already got New York done, so why not be able to fly between it and the new city/cities, give some real variety.

Anywhere NON USA would be nice. I feel fairly done with americans in GTA.

Still, I would be surprised if they weren't already working on V. And I agree with Altrezia: non USA this time would be a treat.

Yeah the Mediterranean would be nice, cruising about in a big yacht in the Costa Del Crime and then popping over to Monaco once you've made your self filthy rich with dirty money.

GTA Cape Town.
GTA Tokyo.
GTA Sydney 1980s.
GTA London 1970s.
The only other thing I'd be interested in would be GTA Blade Runner.
Or if you got to play as a cop infiltrating one of the crime ring stories from previous games.

They should set the next GTA in a fictionalised Amsterdam.

Dyke City...?

Think Dan needs to do an office headcount.

GTA Edinburgh where you can go to the Rockstar North offices and write your own DLC!

"The only other thing I'd be interested in would be GTA Blade Runner. "

Absolutely. I always thought the GTA engine would suit an open ended Blade Runner game extremely well.

I would love for the next one to go back to Vice City - with todays graphics, they could make it look amazing.
If they're going to go abroad then Tokyo or Hong Kong would be fantastic. I wouldn't want it to be set in London - that'd be boring.

I like the man's style. Unlike some game creators, he understands what teamwork is about.

London ftw. It's been done before in GTA1, so it's kind of part of the franchise's history.

Ah, the days of pedestrians shouting "BASTARD SLAG!", how I long for them to return.

Well that's a load of common sense Dan is saying, makes me think of the dick Peter Molyneux. In bad terms.

The approach of having all the boroughs of NYC in GTAIV was too much I think. Having three smaller individual cities would be much better. An adventure spread across Rio De Janeiro-Rome-Hong Kong would be a fantastic mix.

Seeing as Sony canned the getaway I'd love a GTA London, but the GTA whore in me wants to go back to 80's Vice City so I guess "Miami" would be my hope for the next city! :)

What i liked about GTA 3, VC and IV is that it was like a real city in terms of size and facitilites.

The thing i hated about SA was that they used places like san fran and vegas but the city was equivilient to a couple of blocks, it never rearlly felt like a bustling city.

I don't really have a preference for which city, i'm sure which ever one/s they choose will be outstanding, i just want it to feel like a real city.

I just hope that the game world won't be just one big city again (as in GTAIV). It made the few races there were too repetitive. San Andreas was so much fun with its depiction of small villages and the countryside between the cities.

GTA without America is akin to omelette without eggs

As a few have mentioned already, I'd like to see GTA in Tokyo, Hong Kong or Rio (tearing through the favelas FTW), and add Moscow to the mix.I know GTA4 had the whole eastern Europe/Russian thing going on, but I'd quite like the chance to drive around and cause chaos in Red Square, before having to scarper when the FSB arrive

Well I think the next one should be set in Peckham.

What about GTA UK with the major cities mapped out in relatively high detail and procedurally generated linking towns. As for the time period, I have no real concerns as long as there is a decent choice of music.

EDIT: typos.

About time they redesigned the series and let you enter all buildings, no?

GTA London, Tokyo or some crazy arse south american country would be awesome imo and i dont even like GTA games heh :D

bad09: "Seeing as Sony canned the getaway I'd love a GTA London, but the GTA whore in me wants to go back to 80's Vice City so I guess "Miami" would be my hope for the next city! :)"

Vice City in the 80's with Cuba as the third island!

GTA: Vatican City. Done.

"GTA: Vatican City"

Let he who is without sin, kick the first ass!

About time they redesigned the series and let you enter all buildings

Oh, yeah, it's definitely about time we were able to enter every one of several tens of thousands of identical apartments in all the buildings of a city.

GTA Delhi would be good.
Achievements for not hitting any cows, for managing to drive a mile in under an hour, fitting more than five people on a motorbike, etc...

But I don't think they can manage the poly counts it'd need yet.

This guy is Humble.

Mentalist(air), the sarcasm detector is off the charts!!

I'm not being sarcastic I would really love for them to do a GTA:Japan/Tokyo or something like that.

Haha I got negged cheers fella!!

San Andreas 2 please.

Please let's stay outside the USA for once; much though I like GTA games from a gameplay perspective, having already played through pseudo-NY in GTA I, III and LCS, and only belatedly finding that the place itself was pretty crap overall compared to SA and VC, I have some difficulty convincing myself it's worth bothering to buy GTA IV. I'll wait for a Steam deal or something.

While Tokyo is my favourite city on earth, on consideration my biggest +1 is for GTA Hong Kong. For a GTA game you need a city that has a larger than life identity thanks to its connection with films, and while I think Tokyo has a really strong identity of its own, it isn't that well known a film setting, at least in the west. Hong Kong, being the setting for a million martial arts films, has that larger than life identity. GTA Hong Kong, in which you play either a Jackie Chan-esque kung fu cop or a Chow Yun Fat-style blood opera cop (or hell, why not both?), and stay good or go bad...I'd be all over that like a mook on a grenade.

Don't know how I feel about GTA London. I have no fondness or indeed sense of grounded reality for US cities, or indeed HK, so they seem fair game, a sort of unreal neutral setting. But I genuinely love Tokyo, so of course if they cocked up GTA Tokyo into some sort of revolting stereotype, it would break my fucking heart. London by contrast seems to actually enjoy making itself into a stereotype (notably, Tokyo doesn't really do this). But I hate London, so making it into a stereotype isn't a problem for me. Making me want to go there, however, even in a game, is. I don't think I can even be bothered to play it to blow it up.

How about GTA Mexico City. Its huge and has lots of interesting people plus lots of folklore from the Aztecs, Spaniards, Westerns, Cartels. Plus if they can do it as authentic as possible it would be a great place to explore. Desperado movie theme stuff as well guns in guitars, Mariachi music, maybe even Salma Hayek.

Do it. Do it now!

i think hong kong would be a brilliant step...such a diverse and contrasting city....plus it s a logic step from chinatown wars lol

I think Hong Kong would be perfect actually :)

Excellent comments by Mr Houser on praising his staff and keeping a low profile, Mr Kotick could take a lesson from that.

Very classy of him as someone above me stated.

GTA Japan. With Triads and a Kill Bill Story Line

Much as a new locale would be interesting, surely a large part of GTA's appeal comes from the way it so brilliantly takes the piss out of all things related to American culture in a way that would be incredibly difficult to do for anywhere else. Sure, exploring GTA Moscow or Tokyo would be fun, but does the rest of the world really know enough about Russian or Japanese culture, patriotism, right-wing politics and sensationalist news channels to be able to get anywhere near the same level of contextual humour in?

@ Zomoniac

That's what I mean. That's why Hong Kong works, in my view - look at Vice City. They took a bit of a punt on setting the game in not-quite-Miami, in my view, and I enjoyed the game despite never having seen any original Miami Vice in my life and loathing Scarface. Pretty much anyone who's going to play GTA will have seen at least a couple of HK action films.

Zomoniac is completely on the money. GTA in the US is about taking the piss out of the its silly side as much as paying tribute to the great stuff. I know we've all seen the odd kung fu flick but it's nothing compared to the cultural universe available from the US. But let me add my voice to the growing clamour for GTA Bladerunner. Imagine nicking flying cars and throwing the occupants out into thin air, and jetpacks would actually make sense!

HAHA...loved that last part,when Houser is praising all his staff and saying its all about them....then you guys go ahead and say

'Houser's most recent work is showcased in Episodes From Liberty City for Xbox 360'

@Mkwone: What? All three of the cities in San Andreas were HUGE, what are you on about? To everyone who wants London: go play the Getaway. London is a dull, flat, boring place. Hong Kong is a good suggestion, we need a city with hills and stuff to jump over!
