We've had Miami (Vice City) and the new San Andreas (wherever that is!)
So where should the next on take place, here are a few of my choices.
Las Vegas
Tokyo (why not go global with this? This one is my favorite)
Phillidelphia
Hollywood
Moscow (lol, that would be fun!)
Israel (controversial to the max, this would never get sold!!! It'd be fun though)
Hmmm, can't think of any more![/list]
:? San Andreas is meant to be the State of California, and one of the areas on San Andreas is called Las Venturas I believe which is meant to be Las Vegas. Also Hollywood is in San Andreas which is Los Angeles. Moscow sounds cool and so does Japan, but Israel would be way too controversial.

yeah, that definately would be
Israel (controversial to the max, this would never get sold!!! It'd be fun though)
I gurantee you it'd sale more copies than ever for that reason alone, but I dont like that idea though.
I think the game does need to venture beyond U.S. related cities for once.
Actually I think not, there an american company, they should keep it stateside...for now...however Tokyo is so clean and fresh that there aren't as much death in it as you think so Tokyo ain't a place unless you want to bring in lies and controversy.
Why should the fact that Rockstar is an American company affect where the locale of their game takes place. Is there a rule that if your company is American then all your games should be based in America? So I guess all World War related games should of never happened because most of them were produced by American companies.
haha lol...I mean for now they should stay stateside because there showing places that most people rarely know about...San Andreas....I mean come on...lol but then go onto further places...
"I want you to take this trip to Israel" says Bob the leader of the gang.

Id like to see the GTA series head over to London. ( AGAIN )
Id like to see the GTA series head over to London. ( AGAIN )
Yea that would be cool. GTA London was a cool game.
I doubt it would sell more if it were set in Israel. It will sell most when it is based in the most popular location and California couldn't be a more popular place to set the game in. I certainly wouldn't want to play GTA: Israel and I'm fairly confident in saying 90% of normal GTA fans wouldn't want to either, especially if they had a choice between playing GTA: Israel or GTA: San Andreas.
My vote would go with Tokyo, the place has a perfect image and it would be great fun going around those crowded streets. And plus - theres plenty of opportunities for enemies with all the Triad groups/Druglords/Gangsters floating around. I think London as a setting again would be a little poor; it would be full of tired cliches and bad accents. Russia doesn't sound half bad either.
Yea, Tokyo would be really cool. I can just imagine all the Yakuza fights etc happening all over the city. I can also imagine a ‘Kill Bill’ style mission where you have to invade a rival Triad gang’s base and chop their goons into sushi with a Katana Sword or something like that. Moscow would probably be even better though in terms of the levels of corruption coupled with cool Soviet military machines like MIG’s. Also a snowy environment could be interesting for GTA game, but for now I think I'm going to more than content with GTA: San Andreas.
hey...they should put a couple city's in one and make it GTA: 4 - Something...and then they'll have like 2-3 huge cities and stuffs...?
But however Tokyo is like real high-tech clean, not alot of crime, and stuff...you could probably do china
Gangs in Chinese cities I believe are quite common.
yes, you can play as an asian person named 'blank' and like then have the find info of chinese gangs and then etc...do missions...run away from street fighter agent chun-li *she's chinese, lol* and other stuff :D
I wonder...
I wouldnt want it in tokyo, who would want to drive lose lil japanese shits around? where would you drive it? you would always be running over people and getting chased by cops..... I wouldnt mind one in Canada but the country is to clean not enough violence for a GTA game maybe Toronto but that doesnt seem likely
I think london is to overdone in games so i wouldnt want that,Not to sure on tokyo either,
Texas would be cool if it was kept in the usa.
I could see the series taking place in a place like mexico or south america, columbia or somewhere.
Canada would work well i think :) ( there is a division of rockstar here, Rockstar canada)
I think it will be a whjile before we see it though, i donbt think there will be another one for PS2 there is not much more they could do before the series becomes repetitive.
I think the first GTA on the PS3 wont have alot more new stuff to do than GTA SA but it will look so darn pretty we wont care :P lol
I doubt the Canadian goverment cough*the french* would allow it, the french have complained about a couple of games that had Canada in it such as splintercell pandora tommorow that game had 1 mission in Canada and the french didn't like it so they complained and had it taken out and as I said before Canda isnt violent enough to be a GTA game
Actually Osirus, you're right - Mexico or South America would make pretty good locationas. So many organised gangs/drug runners that you could have endless fun!
Yea, South America is a cool idea.
Really though what I care about for the inevitable PS3 version of GTA is better graphics first and a good location second.
In my opinion GTA and all the other PS2 games really needs a graphical boost. I’m not saying the graphics are bad, just that I’m getting bored with them. PS2 is five years old and that’s ancient in terms of computers. Role on the PlayStation 3 version.
I agree I am getting tired with the graphics now, only a few xbox games even please me graphicaly anymore

Grand Theft Auto--Hawaii
I think tokyo would be terrible :( , they would not be able to make it crowded enough, or enough cars etc to represent it fully, n it would end up being set in the future n u would have lasers etc. :o
Another made up city would be good. :D
The graphics are not bad, they really cant make them any better for such a massive game, or otherwise it would be so lagg filled n slow. :(
London could be cool altho the accentsd would suck and there would be no storyline, Toronto wouldnt work cos nothing hapens there (i live there).
I dont see what more they can add, it might start getting repetitive with only the cities or states changing and a few minor differences.
If they keep trying to make it more detailed, with the getting fat and whatnot, the gameplay will become boring.
P.S. Has anyone gotten 6 stars on san andreas? I have tryied for ages, i flew over the restricted area and has dogfights with army planes, blew up like 10, killed 100 people but i still didnt get tanks n stuff on me, i only had 5 stars!!! :x

1) If you havent heard by now Rockstar are looking at the Next Gen consoles on which they will develop their next GTA game, so it will most likely be possible to support those things you mention without a slower frame rate.
2) You can get fat or thin in GTA:SA and it does not make the game more boring than before. You rarely have to eat and its not like it takes up alot of time, as it only takes a few seconds because fast food restaurants are located all over the place.
3) In order for you to get the ARMY after you you will have to get onto LAS VENTURAS.
Los Santos- Max 4 stars
San Fierro- Max 5 tars
Las Venturas- Max 6 stars.

Grand Theft Auto: Jamaica (that would kick arse)
Grand Theft Auto: St. Louis
Grand Theft Auto: Paris
Grand Theft Auto: San Francisco
Grand Theft Auto: Jamaica (that would kick arse)
Grand Theft Auto: St. Louis
Grand Theft Auto: Paris
Grand Theft Auto: San Francisco
The first three are all nice ideas, but I think they lack mob presence in real life and therefore it would be hard to make them interesting in the game.
As for GTA: San Francisco, well - They city of San Fierro in GTA:San Andreas is meant to be San Francisco.

whhoops, didn't know that one
Grand Theft Auto: New Orleans
Grand Theft Auto: Sydney
Grand Theft Auto: Amsterdam
Grand Theft Auto: Sicily
Grand Theft Auto: New York
Grand Theft Auto: Detroit
Grand Theft Auto: Orlando
Yeah, some of 'em don't have gangs and such, but you can always make that stuff up, I think most of those sound like good environments especialls Sydney and Orlando.
New York and Detroit seem to be the only logical ones out of that list..with their crime rates and all.

i hope it will be a more modern place
and the graphics(human) to be better
Has anyone seen or heard from Rebon in a while? Do you guys know when we are getting paid? Are we getting paid on the first or shortly there after this month?
Anyway, Rebon send me a PM if you are still alive and I will check it at work.
I PMed him yesterday asking him if I could get paid soon as I am leaving to France on Wednesday and wanted the funds in my bank account.
France!!! WOW!
Have you been there before?
Its awesome! Where in France are you going? I went there a couple of years ago with my girlfriend on our French Class Trip. You will love it if you have never been. Also, make sure you dont spend all your money in the first few days....make it last....trust me :wink: .
Hey! I have been away in southern England for a week - by the coast with friends. I expected to have access to the internet cafe where I was staying, but it wasn't working and so I wasn't able to keep in touch.
Back now - but only for a day; I'm heading off to Rome 3am on Monday. Busy busy.
Payment will be made tomorrow!

Did anyone get paid?
I got Rebon to pay Ian but thats all he did because he was leaving for Italy. I guess he'll do it while in Italy or when he gets back.
ps3 Wanna be
07-03-2006, 16:39
Ok. Did he say how long he's gone for?
ummm....not sure. I know he is leaving with Morph from PS3portal for L.A. in about a month too and they will be gone for about 11 days.
When is Rebon getting back from Italy anyone know??? Also if you can Rebon, if you read this from Italy can you perhaps make payments while in Italy...that would be very apperciated. :D
Hey Rebon....when do you plan on getting back and making June payments???

07-08-2006, 22:07
Obviously he hasn't had access to the internet - let him enjoy his holiday!
Hello everyone!
I'm back in the UK now. I had a great trip with the girlfriend to Rome; I got to see all the sights and we had a blast doing it.
Payments will be done tomorrow - without fail. The reason I can't send them automatically is because I need to go through the news/previews list and workout how many each person has done, which takes time.
If anyone can think of a faster/better way of working this out payments could be made quicker.

We could have a wiki page.
Have separate sections for each month (well, after one payment to the next payment). Then we just go in and add the title of each article that's been posted on the site.
e.g. of structure:
June - July
Bhav
2nd - PS3....
4th - PS3...
Justin
2nd - PS3....
4th - PS3...
Dusty
2nd - PS3....
4th - PS3...
Since a wiki can be edited by anyone, it's the responsibility of the writer to add the title of their article to the list.
Maybe password protect the page with one username and password so we can all access it, but no one else can.

We tried that before...but some punk kid thought we were just advertising our sites. Yet, Joystiq, Slashdot, IGN, and all of them get their Wiki pages.
It was total BS.

That was for Wikipedia.org - anyone can setup abd use a Wiki on their own domain. I love that idea; what does everyone else think?

Yeah I meant a custom wiki install on the ps3land server.
(It would be like a log sheet that no one outside of the staff should be able to see)
What all did I get payed for Rebon?
I counted something like 25 articles plus the Crysis and Final Fantsy Versus XIII preview. Also, I dont know if you want to count it as an interview but I did get info from Fantasy Lab guy and did an article DMM tech. Aren't you paying more for previews and interviews? I heard you payed Ian like $25 for his part in the Theseis thing.
Also, do I get anything for the graphics? I redid they whole preview section along with new feature images and new updated game images. Also most fo the thumbs for the news articles.
...oh, also have you had a chance yet to check out those power tools I got for our website yet? I designed the banner ads already as well as did all the website submission to all the search engines. I just want you to take a look at everything and let me know what you think... :D

Appreciate the payment Kieran :)
I think you may have missed my HDTV buyers' guide.
We definitely need a system to keep track of all the articles each of us has written (hint hint ;))

hey Rebon...when you get a chance to read this...
I went through and just did all the news articles for the month of June. I forgot to count features and interviews, sorry guys!
Let's do this: this month, everyone write a bullet-pointed list of the items I have missed. Next month we'll have a Wiki system to keep track of this.
so is this starting for this month of July or do you want us to do this for last month as well??? Are we going to get paid for the rest of June?? Also, how does payment for the graphics work???
Also have you checked out the power tools yet???

Missed:
--> HDTV Buyers' Guide (Parts 1 & 2)
(Rebon: If you want any help setting up/testing the wiki system, let me know :))
Justin:
* Yes you will be paid for the remaining articles in the month of June. As I said above, list the items you haven't been paid for (interviews/previews) in this thread and I'll get on them.
* The Wiki idea will begin for July; I will set it up soon so dont worry about that.
* Check out the Note for the PayPal payment I sent you originally. It talks about the Graphics Editor issue in there =)
* I haven't looked at the Power Tools yet as I barely have enough time to do all the basic necessities right now, let alone extra stuff like the Power Tools. I will do it soon, however. As over the next few days I should have some extra time.
Bhav:
* Extra payment has been sent!
* Thanks for the testing offer. I will take you up on that in a few days time.

Cheers Kieran, but I refused payment (you should get a note). Apologies for being such a pain :(
Well, I dont know what all you paid me for or what you missed...do you want me to list everything or...
- Crysis Preview
- Final Fantasy Versus XIII preview
- Fantasy Lab email
- then all the other news articles back to when ever was the last day you paid me....also The Assassin's Creed article...or one of them was given to Ian but it should go to me since I wrote it. Also, make sure to check the Articles up for grabs...I did one of thsoe too.
