What I want GTA 4 to be like

What I want GTA 4 to be like

The past GTA games have taken place in the 80’s and 90’s. I like the 80’s look in GTA: Vice City and Vice City stories, but I think another 80’s theme GTA would be an over kill. I like GTA: San Andreas, and GTA 3, but I never really cared for the 90’s theme (I think the 90’s sucked, but that’s my opinion). I think GTA 4 should take place in the 70’s.

A 70’s sound track would be great. It would have Disco, Hard Rock, Rock, Classics from the 50’s and the 60’s, early Punk, and so on. Except for GTA 3, all the other installments have had a kick a$$ sound track, and GTA 4 should have one as well.

There are also some little things I want.

1. the option to play as a Male or Female
2. full character customization
3. more weapons
4. more cars
5. cool cars
6. full car customization
7. bigger city
8. deeper story
9. lovable characters
10. more drama then violence

[AshMat]

Yeah, a modern GTA would be better.

[Daft]

Simple, include animals and children!
Imagine a level in a Zoo...

[Fierce_LiNk]

More drama than violence? Loveable characters?

Are we still talking about GTA, here? :heh:

LOL Parents would be going crazy. Killing children would be to horrible even for GTA.

More drama than violence? Loveable characters?

Are we still talking about GTA, here? :heh:

Even though I like the GTA series. I never really like the characters. their are no lovable characters. I want to fill sad if one of the main characters die.

A good mix of drama and violence would make GTA 4 a great game.

My friend's brother has a hookup at rockstar, i'm going to see if I can get into beta testing or at least some sort of tour for this.

[fanman]

1. the option to play as a Male or Female

Then they don't fit into their role.

2. full character customization

It's not the sims.

3. more weapons

Then you don't get used to the ones you have, and have to keep swapping them.

4. more cars

There are already quite a few.

5. cool cars

It's meant to be a real life game (not totally, but you know what I mean), so normal cars are okay.

6. full car customization

Need for speed.

7. bigger city

Bigger cities have a lot less character. I couldn't get into san andreas at all as a result.

8. deeper story

Not deeper, just longer.

9. lovable characters

Excuse me?

10. more drama then violence

Grand theft auto = violence


If they try to go like saints row or driver, then it will suck. I just want rockstar to stick to the winning formula of the last few games (excluding san andreas).

(It worked in Tony Hawk's Underground)

2. full character customization

It's not the sims.
(I know its not the Sims, but its still a good feature)

3. more weapons

Then you don't get used to the ones you have, and have to keep swapping them.
(Your character can keep his/her purchased weapons at their hide out, and just pick out the weapons they want to use. I don't think weapon swapping will be a big deal.)

4. more cars

There are already quite a few.
(more the better even if it's just five new ones)

5. cool cars

It's meant to be a real life game (not totally, but you know what I mean), so normal cars are okay.
(GTA 4 can have normal cars, but it can also have sports cars, muscle cars, and other cool cars.

6. full car customization

Need for speed.
(GTA: San Andreas let you customize your cars so Rockstar games should improve on that. Saints Row also had it and worked out great.)

7. bigger city

Bigger cities have a lot less character. I couldn't get into san andreas at all as a result.
(The bigger the better.)

8. deeper story

Not deeper, just longer.
(Your right, but it can also be deep and longer.)

9. lovable characters

Excuse me?
(Whats wrong with having at least one lovable character in a GTA game?)

10. more drama then violence

Grand theft auto = violence
(GTA 4 can have both tons of violence, and some drama)

I was wrong about say that their should be more drama then violence, but it still needs some drama.

[The3rdChildren]

All those things would be great, especially character customising. Hopefully they'll do a cool cops/robbers online mode alongside co-op play and a go kart to drive around in.

It would be wrong to include killable animals and children in the game - although back when you accidentally blew up the children's hospital in the top down games it was hilarious. Also, going on a rampage in a zoo would be great, especially if you could tame a lion and ride around on it wielding a machine gun like some kinda modern day He-Man.

[triforcemario]

Two things I want:

A) None of that "Gansta" shit. It made San Andreas my least favorite GTA game.
B) None of those "RPG" elements. They just made the game pretty boring.

[1UP]

You just dislike black people dont ya?
Are you saying all black people are "gangasters"?

I definatley don't want a bigger city, it then takes ages to get everywhere and half of SA was like desert..

[Johelian]

I want a Canadian setting, complete with Mounties and excursions into the mountains and getting attacked by bears (of course this stuff happens to all Canadians), with snow weather systems etc...some real Due South action.

If I cant have that then Ill go with a prohibition aera with speak-easys, tommy-guns etc etc etc. Pretty slim on both accounts Id say.

I quite liked a number of characters from GTA3-SA. Love Fist were definitely my most memorable - their missions were hilarious :)

It's just all for crappy imitations like saints row. The best thing rockstar can do is to keep it the same, some actual variation from saints row.


I thought they might do the london 1969 setting from the add-on on the first one. Just a theory, would probably suck though.

[Jordan]

Set it in the future, with a super hero and with morphable cars!
Oh wait thats Crackdown, which seems to be the safebet. Only it wouldn't sell because its not "badass" enough.

[Noodleman]

get rid of the bollocks RPG esq elements from San Andreas please. I dont want to have to basicaly level up by going to the gym thanks it was annoying.

[Zombie_Fan]

You just dislike black people dont ya?

Just because he does not like the gangsta thing, that does not mean he dislikes black people. I don't like the gangsta thing, yet I have some friends that are black.

[Mikey]

Hilary Duff should be the main character. She should look as photo realistic as possible.

That would be just excellent. :)

[Bren]

10. more drama then violence

Thats what makes gta fun

[Zombie_Fan]

I hope GTA 4 will be as good as the others and have some kind of online play.
That would really add on to the fun.

Even though I like San Andreas, it was not as good as Vice City. I don't want the series to go down a slope. Where it slowly go's from good to bad.

[fanman]

*sigh*

People still take me seriously ¬_¬

Do we take that post seriously too?

[solitanze]

GT: HD was officially cancelled in the US right?

[Zombie_Fan]

I don't know if GT: HD was canceled. This thread is about Grand Theft Auto 4.

[1UP]

*sigh*

This is the interweb ... put sarcasm tags if you must ... :/

[fanman]

Everywhere, it's just a tech demo now, like the GT3 prologue thing. This is about GTA anyway.

[mcj metroid]

i'd like the next gta to NOT piss the holy shit out of me.
the last one i played was San andreas,terrible graphics,camera,horrible lock on target combat and had voice acting that makes you want to break your fingers off a stone wall.i mean how many times do we need to hear 'keep it real'?
vice city was the better game.

i think a trip to the 70s mightened to it any harm.Though it's probably going to end up being gta londan.i hope not.the last thing i want is an eastenders game

[Bowser57]

In the last one I tried having clipped a lamp post while riding a motorbike the bike (with me on it) got sort of dragged up to the top of the lamppost.

I think that was about third GTA game I'd given a go. Never played one for more than about 30 mins at a time because I've always been put off by some sort of crash or strange event like the lampost one.

[stev2604]

How about GTA: Ireland? Tractors? Cows? Travellers?

[Zombie_Fan]

How about GTA: Somalia?

Who needs a sports car when you can have a cow.

[mcj metroid]

How about GTA: Ireland? Tractors? Cows? Travellers?

irish people are like english in that they complain about EVERYTHING!

They would never get away with it

[Dyson]

1. the option to play as a Male or Female


No. There's no story otherwise.

[LazyBoy]

Why not have a character that you follow through various stages of his/her life. That way you can see stuff develop, and a city build up around you. Plus since policing also develops, there's a natural reason to increase dificulty.

Also I think it should take place in Shanghai. Freaking love that city. Diverse, huge, and it has a real character. Plus driving would be hilarious because they can't do it for sh*t over there.

[fanman]

No, it would have to be america. Shanghai wouldn't suit it, no matter how cool shanghai happens to be.

The character development would get boring, and would be too dragged out, or to quick to have any meaning. The point with the policing is good though.

[Zombie_Fan]

America fits the GTA series just right, but thats my opinion. I wonder when Rockstar games will release some more information.

[solitanze]

Just realised I posted in the wrong thread about Grand Turismo HD.

Wii bound this game this? Reality or dream?

[AshMat]

Have some young black or wigga kid from a council estate in England, and his life.

[Zombie_Fan]

No one is perfect. GTA and GT almost look the same.

[KKOB]

I want GTA 4 to be set in England or Japan-not too much to ask for i think.

[Caris]

Leave me alone yo.

1. meh.. don't really care about this one.

2. They just should make it more straghtforward, changing the clothes in san andreas just takes too much time.

3. Maybe some new weapons?

4,5,6 I think they should just replace the whole driving system. I only use cars in missions that requires you to use them. The introduction of bikes in VC made cars pretty much useless. But they should make more bikes :p

7. The san andreas was big enough. They should just concentrate more on creating the cities and other areas.

8,9,10 ???

Maybe they should redesign the whole game engine. I'm sure that current pc's can handle more polygons that san andreas threw to the screen. Or better yet, make the engine more scalable.

[mcj metroid]

Thing about england is that the getaway is already doing that......really badly and japan..
well.I personally couln't stand to have a load of japanese people suddenly talk english and if it uses text to translate the japanese you know a lot of the people who play the games can't read

[Blackfox]

GTA would be awesome set in the 1930s America.

Tommy guns and pinstripe suits, yes please.

[triforcemario]

You just dislike black people dont ya?Not at all, I just dislike the Gansta subculture. I found the Mafia based storylines in GTA 3 and Vice City were much more enjoyable than the Gansta based one in San Andreas. Nuff said.

[Ramar]

Not at all, I just dislike the Gansta subculture. I found the Mafia based storylines in GTA 3 and Vice City were much more enjoyable than the Gansta based one in San Andreas. Nuff said.

I agree. The 'Gangsta' style was a huge jump on the hip-hop rising bandwagon. 'Gangsta' life style portrayed by the music was/still is the trend and they used that to gain sales, fact.

GTA London 2 please Rockstar.

[McMad]

After San Andreas I don't care much for GTA anymore, although the idea of GTA in the future has always appealed to me, so here's hoping Crackdown turns out well.

[Bogbas]

Hmm?
http://www.mafia-game.com/

I liked how the cars handled in this. Too bad the cars sucked though...

Lately I've been playing SA, And after two years I'm still finding areas that I haven't visited. And the 'gangsta' culture is just a small part of the game. But the soundtrack is crap. I only like 3 or 4 of the songs on the game. There's no Vrock :nono:

[mcj metroid]

i totally agree with this.It got annoying

[Cube]

Perhaps they should make it up to the (still low) quality of True Crime?

[Daft]

Bigger and better Gang Wars!

[ZeldaFreak]

I would prefer GTA4 to be more like Yakuza, where their is a point to the violence not just there, and please rockstar no more cheats I want to be want it set in Tokyo.

[Stefkov]

With this day and ages technological advancements I would expect to see a game set all around the world [/sarcasm]

I would think one set in say a whole country would be quite fun. Or set in Europe.
Go buy some fake IDs, get into the UK illegally. Brilliant. Join the army of one counrty and shoot some innocent person to create a war.
That would be a cool game imo.

[hobbzinio]

set it in london and have danny dyer voice the main character!!! perfection right there

[Jimbob]

A choice of main character would be a nice addition to the game.

[ZeldaFreak]

TBF though Rockstar could learn alot from making a game thats fun to play, from playing Yakuza

[immy]

[fanman]

GTA is fun to play.

[ZeldaFreak]

Yes for the first couple of hours, and anyway real gansters would use their fists not cheap it up with an uzi

[Ramar]

Yes for the first couple of hours, and anyway real gansters would use their fists not cheap it up with an uzi

ZeldaFreak knows this because he spent a brief period of time running around with his local co-op hard nuts.

[fanman]

Not unless you play the missions. The missions are oh so fun.

And since when did real gangsters use fists instead of uzis? :p

[Sanchez]

Oh man, I know where GTA4 is going to be set but I can't say. :(

[Ramar]

Oh man, I know where GTA4 is going to be set but I can't say. :(

And why can't you say?

[Sanchez]

Because it wouldn't take much research to identify me in real life and then the person who leaked it to me would get fired.

[mcj metroid]

Because it wouldn't take much research to identify me in real life and then the person who leaked it to me would get fired.

.............should i ask again?Ok is this place something we will get excited about?

[Ramar]

Because it wouldn't take much research to identify me in real life and then the person who leaked it to me would get fired.

So you claim to be someone famous? And someone leaked it to you?

Interesting, usually these claims come directly from someone who claims to work for the rumoured company.

[Sanchez]

Well, I only know the location so far, but I can make some guesses based on it.
It will probably be based in the present or future.
Only one city, but it'll be big.
I guess i'll tell you that the city isn't in europe.

No, I'm just friends with a guy who's friends with someone who has a high up place at rockstar north. But if they found my address (which would be a pretty simple job) they can easily work out who leaked.

[Ramar]

Oh here we go again, friend of a friend of a dog whos left ear fell in the teapot of a drunken monkey.

[Sanchez]

Hurr hurr, the difference is that I'm telling the truth, i'll try and get some more info in the coming weeks, if I get enough I'll tell all.
