It's more like that's the vibe I got out of the concept art.

It's strange to think about a new version of GTA2. On one hand it probably doesn't fit what the franchise now is, but on the other it did have a surprising amount of character. Maybe, in an ideal world where all fantasy projects were made and released, it just wouldn't be a GTA game (though maybe Trevor would benefit from the farting/burping feature). On that note, what happened to those rumours of a non-GTA Rockstar London game? I don't follow gaming news but I'd almost definitely be down for that. Heck, in a particularly nerdy move, I've thought about the sort of music such a game might have. It's weird, I remember people were criticising V's soundtrack before the game even came out (leaks?) because of the lack of brand new material for a game set in 2013... but here in Britain, most radio stations I know play predominantly older music for various reasons. Pop stations play, largely, a mixture of '80s and '90s stuff, and even more contemporary-minded dance stations still play stuff like Freemasons' 'Love on my Mind' frequently (which was in Gay Tony so it likely won't appear again, but it's still nearly nine years old). Maybe I'll make some mock-playlists for Not-GTA: London when I have some downtime (not likely to happen soon). We could spread them around and start some playground rumours about THE CONFIRMED LONDON GTA! I have all three (is there more?) of the content updates for V - because they're free, so why not - but it's still a bummer that the clothes and stuff aren't available offline.

It always bothered me that London is still just London in the GTA universe, when every other city has a different name. It was kinda cute in TBoGT when Luis mentions going and Tony exasperatedly tells him that the trip has cancelled for some time now.

Pity Rockstar seem to have abandoned the period pieces because GTA set in 1960s San Fierro would be great. Drug deals, the Lost as security for a free concert, fantastic music.

People outside the US only really know the character of New York & LA; Miami, Texas, Detroit and San Francisco to a lesser extent, and possibly also Seattle, New Orleans or Boston. Vegas, people know about the strip but not much else. GTA 4&5 worked well to me because they play on well known stereotypes of those cities that the whole world can appreciate - I recognised the style of venice/vespucci beach from being a fan of the Tony Hawks games. I recognised so many perfectly replicated spots from shows set in NY on GTA 4. I still recognise places from Vice City in CSI Miami, especially every time they do a flyover shot of the beachfront hotels. Sidenote: If not London for the next game, I want to go back to 80s Vice City and have a whole questline with a Horatio Cane ripoff. I can't help but feel like they only work because of how well known the stereotypes are; like the jokes they could get from a game set in SF could all be transplanted to Vespucci or Mirror Park, Detroit jokes mostly work in south central, and they got most of the Texas jokes into the Weasel News and Blaine County bits anyway.

Bobby Deluxe posted:London was fun for a bit, but I'd love to see R*'s satire targetted at British life. Hell they've probably got the engine capacity to do a mini UK now, complete with Landan, Scotland, Oireland and a bunch of Geordies kicking about. I would love to see a game set in the UK in the Factory Records club scene era. Set it in Manchester, do jobs running drugs for "Tawny Wolsson", work security at Happy Mondays shows, add in some IRA and This Is England style material, Bob's your uncle. Probably an enormously niche idea but I don't care, I want it.

Vice City took place 16 years in the past. San Andreas was 12 years in the past. Both were clearly playing to the nostalgia of the time. I Love The 80s premiered on VH1 a couple months later and there was an overall revival in interest in the 80s around that time. I don't know that Rockstar would do another 80s GTA now that 1984 was 30 years ago. I bet they could do a lot with a game set in 1999. Y2K, everyone finally caring about the internet, and the music was pretty memorable and unique to the era. I can just imagine what they could come up with for the in-game websites. I really can't see Rockstar doing another period piece though; at least not for a "major" GTA game.

I still want a weird rear end R* game with a time machine that puts John Marston in Liberty City or San Andreas. Just the commentry of things he sees would be great. Also throwing someone like Trevor back to the Red Dead days would be amazing. Max Payne in Vice city in the 80's with his booze problem.

I feel like an '80s GTA set in London would be different enough to Vice City. It's not a glamorous, or even faux-glamorous, setting at all. It's a paranoid place fuelled by class warfare, and politics playing to some real scary far-right sensibilities while Threads feels like it's right around the corner. With all that in mind though, it's still a place that can laugh at itself judging by the huge wealth of comedy it produced and continues to produce, so it would probably fit GTA. That said though, it's a fairly exhausted mine (har har) on top of the then-contemporary stuff as varied as The Long Good Friday, The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover as well as slightly later stuff like Cracker, and then the endless list of current/last decade hindsight stuff like This is England. But that's why I think present day London would be good to look at in the GTA way. Because for all the fighting, the new governments still won, telling people indirectly that they don't care about them and using 'You Can Get It If You Really Want' from The Harder They Come in election campaigns without any irony. A good deal of the factories are closed. Top-line football games cost £60 a ticket. The south bank of the Thames went from this to this. We have the new St Pancras station and Trellick Tower. We're culturally diverse in a pretty wonderful way. Right-wing newspapers think we're going to Hell in a handcart, while left-wing newspapers are asking where exactly do you get rent boys at this hour in Knightsbridge. And I want to drive on the wrong side of the Strand, with Roll Deep's 'Good Times' playing on a radio station hosted by stereotypical party rockers. Then maybe make some flying rat jokes about Trafalgar Square, idk.

If I was in charge of making the moneys I would do a next-gen update with an exclusive add-on that opens up Mexico, adds horses and a bunch of oldies vehicles and sends Trevor on basically the same plot as the Mexico season of Eastbound and Down. With drug selling instead of baseball. Works as stealth tests for the next Red Dead obviously.

Well this is the same company that had us hanging for a year on a logo that was 80% logo we've been looking at for a decade. And I don't think that little mention they did was actually about "DLC" per se, it seemed more like they were mentioning some free stuff that's coming along with some of the online packs in the same way that you end up with new cars and guns in SP after the packs come out. Things that are just barely worth downloading on their own, much less pay for. That's how I took it anyway.

I finished this on Tuesday and really enjoyed it/am enjoying playing the post storyline stuff. I thought it was weird that you had the option to kill Michael and/or Trevor, it didn't make a lot of sense to me at that part of the story. I'd been spoiled on it but I had expected it to be during one of the heists. Is there any word on stuff like The Lost and the Damned or Ballad of Gay Tony?

Did patch 1.11 add anything to the single player game aside from the heavy pistol? Now that I'm getting to the end of the fuckfest that is GTAIV (Seriously, why was Alderney even included? Does anything entertaining actually happen there?) I'm thinking of diving back into GTAV and finally finishing those drat Epsilon missions.pisshead posted:Well that's just great.
