Who else wants the next GTA to take place in London?

They should definitely bring the game back to it's roots again, the Americanized shit is getting dull. 
 
@Br3adfan:
 
You seem not to know your history of the series. GTA: London 1961 and  GTA: London 1969, ever heard of them  :?   
 
Given that they're both for the first and second games in the series, it makes it integral part of the GTA series foundations and well worth returning to in this current gen. There's also the issue of the series being given birth to via the U.K, not America.  

" Jeremy Clarkson's Grand Theft Auto: Top Gear Edition. "

well considering the way the games are going i would put money on a more upto date vice city then a more modern 
San Andreas there was a gta london game as well so im not to sure  so i guess you have a chance but hey i dont no

they made london for ps1 game. it would be interesting.

" @Linkyshinks: 
I don't know how my comment implied that I do not know the series' past, but I am aware of the GTA London games. All I stated was that the series relies on a certain aspect of satire that is generally geared at American culture as a whole.

I loved The Getaway. Sure it had some issues, but I had a lot of fun with that game. "

I dont... I reckon Sydney and the surrounding suburbs would be good.

Grand Theft Auto: Mexico City. C'MON PEOPLE!

LOL why london?! I suppose is enough crime and stuff in London so it wouldnt be far  from the truth LOL

" The best part about gta games is the parody of american culture. London wouldn't be nearly as fun. "

I've had enough of the american locations so yes.

Why the hate for a London setting? I'm sure rockstar could pull it off well. Besides, it 's not as overused as the new york type cities that seem to be in far too many films/games recently. London sounds awesome to me, Liberty City I think with IV and all it's expansions has been used enough now, and if you want more Americanness, get Red Dead Redemption when it comes out, I know I will. Rockstar North is here in Britain anyway.

Neh. The only way to go is San Fierro (San Fransisco) late 1960's - early 1970's. That is the ONLY way to go. Imagining that Dirty Harry-aesthetic in a GTA-game makes me hard. 

GTA doesn't take place in actual cities, but I assume you mean some sort of London-inspired city.  That'd be okay, but the above mentioned Getaway has that covered.  Honestly, how about something entirely different from Rockstar.  I know I am way out on a ledge on my own on this, but how about GTA-in space?  I've been playing the seedier aspects of Mass Effect 2 lately, and it seems to me that something like that future underworld would be a nice play ground for the GTA world.  If Rockstar can graft the open-world game template to the Old West with Red Dead Redemption?  Who wouldn't like to get involved in slave-trading hot alien babes, or smuggling high-tech mechs and killbots?  How much fun would it be to steal a bunch of space ships?  Of course, space ship "jacking" would be different in an open universe game.  Maybe you character would have your own intergalactic pirate ship, and stealing a space ship would involve boarding the craft and taking key locations.  It's an idea at least that hasn't been fully explored in a long time.

I was told it was going to be in Egypt or space.  I think you people are liars.

It should take place on Texas .That would be funny.

To be more precise, 
 
Grand Theft Auto: Hackney

Hmm, Getaway already did London.
 
Why not a new City? Why not GTA: Berlin, for example? That'd be awesome ...

Only if there is a specific Chav model in the game. And they have to hang around in packs. And only if I get to brutally kill em all.
 
Then yes, London would be acceptable.

I am not touching another GTA until it's set in outer space. I was done with GTA after three, and I was especially done after play four for an hour. No space no interest! Who's with me?

The Getaway had a great style that really worked with London. GTA London would be atrocious. 

Not I. I'd rather see them focus on the drug trade of the Pacific Northwest. They've hit the northeast, southeast, and southwest, so why not give B.C., Washington, and Oregon a chance. 

I'd love it
 
but I know they'd put some horrible cockney voice acting in and i'd want to punch the developers in the face for getting our accents wrong (albeit, probably would be used for the humour.. but still) 
@Lowbrow: Can't forget the rudeboys :P

No. There isn't really that much of a british culture that you can take the piss out of so it'd be pretty boring.

" London seems like a nice diversion from the norm... Anything non-us would open up some options that previous GTA's never had.  "

I'd rather have The Getaway 3 to be honest. GTA in Tokyo would be awesome.

what abt gta chicago? huh?

Hong Kong

" Grand Theft Auto: Mexico City. C'MON PEOPLE! "

Contrary to popular belief, The Getaway 3 is still in development. I never played the second but absolutely loved the first despite its long list of issues, so I've no real desire to see a GTA in London. I wouldn't want a GTA set in any European city really, as parodying American culture is one of GTA's greatest longstanding attributes. I think having the next GTA set on the Mexican border in the mid 80's, ala No Country For Old Men would be really interesting. As far as that goes, I think that setting has a ton of dramatic potential that would fit with their new darker theme.

" Back to Vice City in the 80's, get Ray Liotta Back I'm sure he's not too busy these days. "

Sure, I'd love to kill some Brits.

The setting would be cool, but the characters wouldn't be the same.

The Getaway was just a bit too ahead of its time. Like the lack of HUD, the damage system...People hated it at the time but it's the norm now, just it's been tweaked and bettered. As for the next GTA, they can't have another city the same size as Liberty. It was an amazing achievement, stunning to look at, but by the end of Episodes I hated it. I wouldn't mind a few smaller cities, maybe being able to make use of the airport. So maybe a few of the big ones across Europe, also like the idea of an Asian version, Hong Kong-Bangkok-Beijing. Only problem is alI the languages, it would lack reality unless they had subtitles. I don't know...I have faith in Rockstar though.

"@K0rN:  At the time, the Getaway was a lot better than GTA in my opinion. "

" Don't care, as long as it isn't released anytime soon. "

" @Blu_Magic: This may suprise you, but not everyone feels another GTA game is necessary. "

" @Blu_Magic: That makes no sense, I was just answering your question, sorry I embarrassed you but I'm not going to argue with you.   "
