Not disappointed in the trailer or the game or anything, but I would've loved to see a GTA set in a city outside the US. For example in a London-like city or Tokyo or Rome or Paris.

But yeah this new GTA looks sick. They did a great job in capturing the new fucked up Florida vibe.

    If Rockstar wanted to bring back London '69 (maybe '89 now?) I wouldn't be mad at all.

    I've always dreamed about this one, London 69 updated in their recent style. I think they talked about this before and the problem is the cops in London didn't carry guns then so it made it difficult to be a GTA game in the typical sense.

    They have police in those city.

    All 2022 Rome had only 16 homicides... And street are too small and traffic is too bad for a grand theft auto... Rome is good for spy stories, thriller or stealth games. GTA wouldn't really work

    In London not even police has guns... Having someone hanging around with a gun is too unrealistic, more than Harry potter

    For Rome, grand theft auto in the 70s is absolutely doable. Full of gangs, terrorists, molotovs.

    Grand theft auto Rome 2023 would be about some fat guy bribing politicians to get the work for his company of collect garbage and never do it. The lucrative non-fancy side of crime

    Sleeping Dogs is probably as close as you'll get. That's a great game btw.

    USA as a very car centric country is definitely best suited for a car centric game like Grand Theft Auto.

    I always assumed GTA to be a broad parody on modern America. From the beginning it was a new York esque mob-gang warfare, and then moved out to add in more usa adjacent scenery. It's more about keeping with the theme, let IPs like watchdogs take the initial risks.

    The Florida vibe is definitely oozing from this trailer. I can almost smell it, and quite frankly I'm disgusted. Bravo. I would've preferred the next GTA being somewhere else, but maybe this it exactly where it belongs.

    I want them to spin off another top down style gta game, I love the 3d but it would be cool to see them iterate on the OG style.

    GTA 2 was my favorite

    GTA Chinatown Wars was great when it released for Nintendo DS and the PSP. It was actually a really well done update to the GTA 2 style of gameplay that a lot of people missed because it was a portable game. It was available on iOS and Android, too, but not sure if it's still there.
