Game Forum / Action Games / Grand Theft Auto / January 2007Other locations for GTA
I just started playing GTA3. I'd like to see future GTA games involve Japan & the Yakuza, Eastern Europe and the Russian Mafia, 1920's Chicago and Al Capone's gang, and a futuristic sci-fi version like Bladerunner & Judge Dredd. I think the names of various things in GTA sound really awkward. I'd like to see the real names of locations and cars used, or at least they should hire a good writer who can come up with smooth sounding names and graceful writing. I would love it if a future GTA had the real, actual, entire Los Angeles county (my area) mapped out in exact detail or at least large parts of it. > I just started playing GTA3.

Isn't San Andreas based around LA area? Los Santos is LA. To be honest i think a lot of the voice acting etc leaves much to be desired, specially in LA, you can almost hear the bits where they pause to turn a page etc. They also seem to put the wrong emphasis on words, as if they didn't bother rehearsing. It still knocks spots off the earlier versions but leaves much to be desired. using real car names etc means paying people money to do so, and probably having to meet certain standards in modelling. I agree with the japanese-future type thing, but really they would just be making a bladreunner type game, which I gather is all Scarface is, GTA with a movie theme. Oh, yeah, the russians are also in San Andreas, with awful accents to match :O)  SignaturePaul (Need a lift she said much obliged) ------------------------------------------------------- Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ > I just started playing GTA3.

The Yakuza have played a part in GTAIII and Liberty City Stories. The Russian Mafia were also featured as one of the gangs in GTA2. 1920's Chicago was pretty much accurately depicted in the game 'Mafia', so I don't see Rockstar or any other company using that sort of era again for a long while. > I think the names of various things in GTA sound really awkward.

For me, a good chunk of the GTA games owe a lot to the quirky names. Some of the car names are also easter eggs. For example, the Sadler truck is named after Noelle Sadler who's a Rockstar graphician (She was the chick with the blonde hair displaying cleavage in the promo stuff and on the game disk. The writing could do with some improvement, although I find it quite helpful if instructions for missions are quite concise. > I would love it if a future GTA had the real, actual, entire Los > Angeles county (my area) mapped out in exact detail or at least large > parts of it. Los Santos *is* Los Angeles. Personally I think having an actual city layout, like London in 'The Getaway', kind of detracts from the game. I live in London, and is nice to explore it in a computer game and recognise points of interest (They did a great job with Soho). Learning your way around the city (Or state, in SA's case) is one of favourite things to do. With a specially made geography, it shows you just how talented some people at Rockstar really are. I also love the way the way some real life buildings and bridges and things are recreated for GTA. Check out Las Vegas in San Andreas, the detail is amazing.

I'd alos like to see a proper front-ended GTA designer complete with mission scripts and an easy to use vehicle designer. A long long time ago a friend and I made up some Quake maps with a lot of Wimbledon's geography as a school IT project. Our idea was to take photos and scan them in so that the layout of the place was photo realistic, but we only ever got as far as doing our school like that. Only took a few thousand photos in the end....

What i would like to see in GTA more than anything is a more open way of doing the missions. Okay, so we can still have the three island structure, but didn't we used to get a choice, depending on which gang we chose, as to what missions we would have to do? That would be fun, say three gangs and three ways of playing through the game, and three different endings... or even play as a cop/FBI and have four ways.

Same here, although some of my favourite cars were quite difficult to model. A Ford Mustang looks like any other car from above as it doesn't have anything really distinctive from a birds-eye view! > What i would like to see in GTA more than anything is a more open way > of doing the missions.

I'd like to see the return of the Respect-O-Meter(tm), it was great fun playing all the gangs off of each other. Something involving three or more gangs in a proper 3d environment would add a lot of depth to the plot(s). GTA has always been a pioneer of free roaming "sandbox" playing areas, but the mission structure has always been pretty linear. As far as sandbox gameplay goes, the game that is head and shoulders above anything is the original Exile on the BBC Master. I've yet to see a game that has so many technical achievements that add vastly to the way the game is played. I advise everybody here to download a BBC emulator (BeemEm is quite good) and a disk image of Exile just so you can see how good this game actually is. Rockstar could learn a lot from the two guys that programmed Exile. It's a mean feat to think that it was coded by two guys in their free time! > That would be fun, say three gangs and three ways of playing through > the game, and three different endings... or even play as a cop/FBI > and have four ways. I'd love to see a 3d version of "A.P.B". Check out the Wiki pages for APB or the adventure RPG "All Points Bulletin". The former can be credited as being inspiration for GTA, and the latter was designed by a Rockstar employee.

I did a Skyline GTR that was quite passable though. > > What i would like to see in GTA more than anything is a more open way > > of doing the missions.

I still like playing san andreas but am fed up knowing just what is coming next. Sometimes i try to mix it up a bit but invariably I hit the brick wall where I have to go back and do something to catch up. > As far as sandbox gameplay goes, the game that is head and shoulders > above anything is the original Exile on the BBC Master.

Hm, my son may be interested in this, he loves emulators etc. > Rockstar could learn a lot from the two guys that programmed Exile. > It's a mean feat to think that it was coded by two guys in their free [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Cheers, > Rob Seems to ring bells faintly, but then i am living in a semi daze so it was probably all a dream :O) I was just thinking about how much fun Syndicate was!
