With Grand Theft Auto IV breaking records and taking names, Rockstar has decided that before EA commits it’s hostile take over, they had better get started on GTA V. I’m sure they believe, as we all do, that if Rockstar doesn’t get going on GTA V, they could find GTA IV being re-released without an I. Nobody wants that.
The first order of business is to find a city. They’ve already done New York, LA, Vegas, San Fransisco and Miami, so it’s time to think about a change of scenery. This month, Rockstar will be sending out a team of “specialists” to evaluate a list of cities. An inside source with Rockstar cited, on the condition of anonymity, that the cities would be chosen for their “personality and exotic nature.”
Here’s the exclusive list of the finalists, in no specific order.
Beijing, China

Yao Ming, dynasties, chopsticks, and communism, these are the things that come to mind when I think of China. Well, that and Free Tibet with a few human rights violations thrown in.
One of the “pros” for Beijing is that their citizens are no strangers to having their rights infringed upon. At any moment they could be murdered as part of Police brutality, collateral damage, or just run the f*** over metaphorically and literally. Transforming this into GTA V’s city wouldn’t be that big of a plunge.
Beijing is also major transportation hub. Getting to run around and car jack people deep inside Red China would be quite taboo, especially since the cops are just like the army and will shoot you for looking at them the wrong way, although Rockstar lists this as a positive. The good news is that you will always be able to “third world” someone, since the cops will all be rocking AK-47’s. The downside is that due to massive pollution, most people are ridding bicycles, by order of the government. I guess it would be the first copy of the game with a unicycle race.
One negative is that the ability to do the proverbial “Movin’ on up” will be difficult in this setting because most people don’t live as extravagantly as Tommy Vercetti in Vice City, with his Scarface style lodgings. It will just have to be less modest government issued housing. Sounds like motivation to me.
Paris, France

Ah, France…. the sights, the sounds, the surrendering? Thought by many to be the world center of culture and art, this historic city is full of awesome things to be smashed, blown up and jumped.
The French are considered to be stereotypically snobby and left wing in nature. I could think of no one better to pull out of their car while they cursed at me. Police chases will be a bit different feeling, with the distinct European police siren.
There are tons of expensive art in that city. Much like the car jacking missions, I could see having to run in to a gallery, steal a painting and get it back to a location with out damaging it. Nothing ruins a good painting like a bullet or a piece of shrapnel.
On the down side, shooting French citizens may be too good to pass up, which may overshadow the story that Rockstar spends so much time and money on. I’ll tell you what, there’s no way I’m doing a fetch quest when there’s surrender monkeys to carjack.

FUCK EA GTA V SHOULD BE BASED ON THE WORLD. there will be at least 1000,000 missions so all these gta nerds will stop saying they can finish it in one day. you should also make it on all ps with your own memory card which can contain at least 1000 gig bites it should also have all buldings possible to enter.look if you chosse my idea you’ll make ahell alot of cash .if there’s one thing i know is that if i should see gtav like that i’ll spend 1000 pounds plus i know over 500 pips who would by this at 1000 pounds
Wow kin pin that made absolutely no sense
dam franky, you a 10 year old or something? God, if they tried to create the whole world, and make it very detailed AND make it possible to enter every building, AND 100,000 missions, that would be over 1000 gb in 1 game, and not to mention they cant overdo one area, because by laws of comparison people will say it was rushed…. not to mention actually putting it together, hey go check out every spot in the world
! Nah google earth it lol
they should do it in either carce city or Vice city, although i would love to see it in England but i just dont see it happening.
I think they should do San Andreas again but for the new game systems like PS3 AND XBOX 360 they could add more to it and I know I would buy it along with many of my friends.
vice city!!!! please redo vice city , u can use all of south florida from the keys to ft lauderdale. u can even throw in cuba and haiti.
Chicago, don’t ask how i know, but it’s gonna’ be set in Chicago.
CHI TOWN IS DA BOMB!!! IT WILL BE IN CHICAGO!!!
am from Chi town too. yeah
you should do san andreas again its a awesome game. for the ps3 and xbox or you should do GTA D.R meaning dominican republic I’ll be cool if you put also puerto ricans. there could be coursing
i think that you guys should shut up about usa places and try some where like devon what would be the best place to do for gta5 it would be betta then any other game and i know lots of ppl who would buy it just like the old london one what all my mates got and that sold alot more games then rubish vice city what was a waste of time other then the guy what was good on there but then they make a black guy what u cant chage maybe i wan to be white black or somthing ells maybe i want white hair and blue eyes but u cant pick that unlike saints row 2 that is much betta then all the gtas togeva other then london one what just ownes ever thing look up devon and tell me it is not a good place to be driving stolen cars and killing ppl and i think that they should let you buy house two and upgrade them to how you want them and body kit cars unlike the rubish number 4 gta what is so shit that sanits row 2 would beat its ass only in the first mission hahahaahahahahahah
lol…bejing?wouldn’t buy it…lol who would?
1)Create an open world like that of San Andreas x3 bigger
2)Keep gta IV’s friend activity’s
3)Add something to do with your money…I have 600.000 at gta IV and nikko still complains:I need those money…OMG!!!
4)In san andreas you could increase your abilities…add it in V!!!!
5)Vice and San had some excelent mission add them again…
6)Wow…more shops?car modifications?barbers?tattoo parlors? add them again…just 3 cloth shops at IV…
7)IV’s moral choices?sweet just add some more importand ones!!!let faustin go?after dimitry go after pegorino or just go to the wedding?
8)Make al smarter…have you noticed that in gtaiv your teammates deal not damage?not att all I’m not joking…check it…
9)Weapon upgrades!!!!Hurray!!!!
10)Round 300 mission and 150 sidemisions…i ended gta iv in 21 hours and 2 days…lol
11)Bring back turf wars and add a way to take beysnesses from other gangs (godfather(1) style)…
12)Bring back taxi,abulance and a.t.c. missions back
It should be made in brazil. Hot females and alot of gangs+ crime+really bad cops. And cool ass places to go to like dat big ass Jesus looking down at the ppl. So fuk u all dumb ass.
Yeah, China is a great country.
They should either do it in london, or redo san andreas without san francisco and vegas and really focus on L.A and the gang culture. Think about it, how cool would it be to be part of a realistic ‘hood’?
City finalists. how exciting.
more shops, car modifications, barbers, tattoo parlors, gyms, gangs, maybe own custom characters, city damage and real life city changes,planes, old GTA IV, SA, VC, III, character pop ups like CJ or Tommy, turf war, make ur own gang, ONLINE… clans/gangs, City lobbys, gangs vs gangs for City turf, other stuff Driver more real, Shooting better sum thing simerler to MGS/MGO. add different islands so u fly from VC to SA. PS3 might be able to store all tht but the 360 might need 2 discs gl hf xD
oh yea sum fukked up shiit, like Big Foot, SA Aliens, Green Goo, Time Travle? CRAB PEOPLE NUUUU
This is all incorrect information, Im currently working for Rock-star, London Headquarters, Plans for the next Grand Theft Auto series have only now just begun, decisions on environment and City has not yet been taken into consideration. We are currently looking at areas for graphical and physics improvements as of now. I am not obliged to say much more on this project.
Can u just tell me thn :p or just keep me updated
China is great place.

Russia the best!And the best country for GTA5 !Nikolay Belic from Russia!RockStars interesting about Russia!

MAke it in Baltimore first. This way the player could expose a corrupt governent and kill some senator or something. At the same time they can make the dude black so he can own some record label like cj
The should do russia
They got technology and weapons just like America
And they got a huge land scape
Redo San Andreas but include a Mexican border city based on Tijuana or Juarez. The Mexican drug war is the ideal fodder for a GTA game. The final boss could be based on Joquim Guzman or Los Zetas. Include gangs based on MS13 or 18th street. You wouldn’t even need to get to 6 stars for the army to show up. There could even be a radio station that plays narco corridos.
My idea on GTA V should be base on everyday life. On single player it should be where we can blow up builtings and also it should be 2 players bc it would more fun but on 2 players we should be able to also blow up builtings and get in two different vehicles and online should be where we can go in any builtings we want too and destroy any builtings we want too and PLZ bring back PLANES!!!
I think it taking place in Cuba would be tye.
It should be based in seattle and u should be able to fly planes and if the map isnt big enough just make the planes a bit slower, u want a city with lots of sky scrapers maybe dallas or new orleans??Dunno….
http://cornfedgamer.wordpress.com/2009/01/16/rio-de-janeiro-perfect-local-for-gta-v/
That would be perfect…
Reasons why I think London would be ideal for GTA V.
- Driving on the wrong side of the road.
- 100’s of pirate radio stations (hiphop/uk garage/house/electro/drum and bass/jungle/soul/pop/rock/etc…)
- 250 gangs in London ( Pikeys, yardies, essex gangsters, football firms, club owners, skinheads, estate owners, etc…)
- thousands of activities: just watch these movies to find out:
– Snatch
– Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels
– Kidulthood
– Adulthood
– Revolver
– Rock ‘n’ Roller
– 51st State
– Football Factory
– Green Street Hooligans
– Human Traffic
– Many more
- Great english humour can be put into the story line.
- Locations: Pub, clubs, london underground, buckhingham palace, alton towers theme park, picadilly circus, oxford street, soho, kings cross station, luton gatwick heathrow airport, and much more.
- Could include flights to Manchester or maybe even have a field trip to brighton.

really interesting games such as icon, create avatar ,dress up and much more..
Go old school, ‘GTA: London 1969′, made next gen or vice city
I think that instead of wasting there time on another GTA, R* should just create a mega game, instead of starting in some dumbass city, and going from burrow to burrow, you should start somewhere cool, like in another country, and have to work your way to America, once you get here you start in Liberty City, and instead of going to Dukes, Algonquin, and then whatever burrow comes next, you should have to go through the whole city as one level, and then when you get past it, you move on to another new city, such as Vice City, and then you would go to San Andreas, and then possibly a new city and maybe another, point being… They should make GTA into this big thing, not just a little city, more like the real world we are living in, with the abillity to go to other cities, and meet new people, and make new friends.
Please email me, if you know of any way that I can tell this to the people at Rockstar North

Thank You
I think they need to take a look at Lisbon, portugal, its one of the best city in world to create a simple virtual world, were is no need to enter houses because the streets are good for hiding, and run from people…. and in some places it have space to people walk, of curse we need to enter build’s to play a GTA xD but it have good big builds to that xDD
Rockstar should seriously consider Glasgow as the next city. Or do the same as SA, have Glasgow, Edinburgh and Ayr in the one game.
Glagow would be so much more interesting than the boring, same old New York/or any american city.
GTA V should be set in Brazil, Russia, India or in Europe! Italy or Germany!
Russia would be good with gangs!
Brazil would be good for shootings and exciting missions
India would be good for family feuds and that busy life style!
Italy would be good for the mafia or godfather style!
Germany would be good for nazi battles!
For one if they tried to make that it would take forever and you would be dead by that time, for two i guess i would be cool like in red faction guerilla, where you could destroy any building.
PS make it in tokyo
Look people, making “GTA: World” is just never going to happen lol. firstly the amount of time it would consume to build on such a large scale is immense, the game wouldn’t be released until 2200 and by that time it would be seriously outdated meaning they would need to update the code constantly through development secondly the cost would run into the trillions. “GTA: Somewhere in Asia” sounds swwweeeeet to me, Beijing, Tokyo or even Bangkok that would be something fresh for the series, PLEASE though Rockstar, don’t make it ALL CITY and no variety of landscape like what GTA: IV.
GTA: San Andreas was the crowning glory of games back in the day and still is IMO the best in the series, part of what made it so great was all the variety in landscape (driving through the desert, the mountains, forests, ghettos and cities) Bring back all this (along with all the other awesome sh*t San Andreas had)
San Andreas FTW!
I think they should seriously consider a large GTA EUROPE!!! There should be 3 main areas 1)Northern Europe, cities like London, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam..etc, 2) Southern Europe/Mediterranean coast with places like Rome, Monako, Ibiza, Mykonos (yes! wild clubbing and beaches with yachts, drugs and everything!)
and 3) Eastern Europe!!! with war scarred cities/places and povetry like Bratislava, Serajevo etc… Niko’s origins!
Also don’t forget to include plenty of European countryside with nice little villages with thatched cottages, narrow English B-roads and large German Autobahns!!! to connect all those places. Also eastern europe should include some old soviet cars like Lada, Yugo etc!!
Please Rockstar… DO NOT GO BACK TO AMERICA on GTA V, Do not listen of the narrow minded people of an endless cycle between Libery City-Vice city-San andreas… it is time for something new and fresh, and if you get it right it should create history on video games!
