New Grand Theft Auto ideas

Grand Theft Auto: Beirut

Think about it - you'd have sheeeetloads of factions to choose from, each of them armed to the teeth with the latest in high tech weaponry. You'd have syrians, israelis, jihadists, and US marines all running around in the same city. You could either do stealthy missions like infiltrating a barracks, or you can do the shoot 'em up missions like blasting a checkpoint. The best part about it would be that it's all plausible....

There's also a rumor that it will be set in Japan with the Yakuza. No one really knows except the development team.

Ok, take over as either a motorized bandit, or as a bring them in no matter the cost ends justify the means prohibition era cop. <the kind that frequently took the vehicles and weapons from the crooks they busted>

Grand Theft Auto Glasgow.

However, make it the exaggerated stereotype Glasgow, and have gangs of burberry wearing neds with knives, broken bottles and baseball bats.

I'd like to understand what people are saying though.

I thought we agreed to keep it to English-speaking cities.

But i'll agree wth you on Newcastle, though Glasgow is just as bad.

How about GTA: Pacifica? You have two "continents", one representing Southeast Asia, and one representing South America. You can start the game as a thug on either side, eventually working your way up to participate in an international drug war between the two factions. Youd' be able to do piracy on the high seas, perform assassinations of high-level officials, take frigatefulls of illegal immigrants to the other country, etc. etc.

Grand Theft Auto Springfield...yes a crossover with the Simpsons and as a bonus you can whack any simpson character you want...kinda like Simpsons hit and run but with this you can HAVE springfield as it actually appears in the series.

GTA has subtitles, doesn't it?

I mean, I can't understand half the things they're saying in San Andreas.

I don't know why it particularly has to be an English-speaking city. There are plenty of great action/adventure crime movies (which is essentially what GTA is) that take place in non-English speaking cities.

GTA:Paris or GTA:Marseilles could be awesome. Plus, think of the thousands of French jokes they could work in. I agree that GTA:London would be sweet. So would GTA:Roma (think The Italian Job, only way better).
GTA:Tokyo would work well. The main character could (would) be an American and they could (would) play a Lost In Translation angle.

You obviously flunked your Ebonics class... nigga. Wor'.

Turn on subtitles. Easy. You can actually learn Ebonics that way.

i'd like to see a GTA:Bankok for no other reason than I want to carjack a rickshaw. London, although nice, would result in me spending way to much time trying to figure out what the fuck an 'articulated lorry' is.

One word: Chinatown. All the Rickshawjacking with none of the language difficulties!

I can catagorically say that I'd get hopelessly lost within 5 minutes of starting the game; Just like I did the last time I went to London.

I'd love to see a "GTA: Moscow" game which takes place during the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Good point, the accents could be stereotypes, look at Midtown Madness 3 on the X-Box, with the Paris section they have some really OTT accents there.

Do NOT get 6 Stars while in Russia..........I can see Hinds and T-80s being sent to stop the guy .

The Soviet Union would be awesome. By two stars you'd have the Army on you, and by six they'd be shooting off tactical nuclear weapons.
