I see this thread has gotten bigger from the last time I read it and I thought we had some news regarding the next GTA.

Boooooooooooooo

Couldn't agree more Fresh. I mean they already "redid" one city. I guess It'd be cool to see Vice City or SA all done up in next gen graphics, but really at this point I really want to see what R* can do with a totally new city, new atmosphere etc.

Agree with both of you. I want a totally fresh new city / area and not a 'redo' of a previous one. I agree that New Orleans would be perfect and they have heaps of subject material to use.

Mind you, when I had an XBOX and was deathly jealous of PS2 gamers, I was certain Vice City would be the best. I'm an 80's guy. Maybe I was burnt out by running through 3 & SA in such a short time period.

I thought Vice City was the absolute worst and I didn't appreciate it the same way I appreciated the others. But it was still head and shoulders above any other game out there, so I quite loved it.

lol the worst in a series is still better than most games. Thats when you know its a successful series.

On the story front, I'm interested in something along the lines of normal person with dark family ties is thrust into the world he's been rejecting his whole life. Like the college grad who finally "made it" has his whole family killed, loses his job for some such reason.

Would make the whole tutorial part of the game more believable than having some experienced person like Niko who already knows how to fire a gun, jack a car, and so on.

And as a New Orleans native, a New Orleans based GTA would be sweet. We have a lot of elevated expressways which are just ripe for some grand set piece.

This is how I felt about Vice City. Great game, but worst one in the series that wasn't one of the "stories".

That's odd, most people regard Vice City as the absolute best. I've seen very few people ever call VC the worst.

My ranking is:

San Andreas
Vice City
III
GTA IV
