    I'd love to see set in the 1990's, I feel that could be cool, either that or like 2030.

    At this point the only thing left would be the future, I think it could be interesting if done right.

    @Hizang: Wasn't San Andreas set in the 90's?
    I think most of the past time periods have either been covered by other GTA games or Red Dead Redemption and L.A. Noire.  I would like to see another game set a bit further into the future, not super advanced with flying cars or anything but something similar to GTA2 or Anno 2070.

    The 60's would be kind of cool I think.  All that free love and mod stuff.  Either that or the age of pirates.  Can you have a Grand Theft Auto set before the invention of cars?

    NO FUTURE

    FUCK THE FUTURE

    The present has been done in IV and we need a time change

    so, the past.  either suburban white-boy 90s (since thug 90s has been tapped) or some sort of 80s story


    NO 30s-70s or im boycotting the fucking thing. Mafia 2 and L.A. Noire are enough.

    The future - 90892 PE (Post-Earth), to be precise.

    The game takes place in the Central St'trokla District of Glrkia 7, you play as Xa'Nalht III, who will stop at nothing to rescue his long lost Gkal! Exciting adventure await.

    This has been said at least a million times I'm sure, but I still think a near-future Tokyo game could be cool. Not for the reasons previous GTA games are cool, the whole parodying of American culture throughout the past decades, but it's such a different setting than anything previously done and the whole Yakuza lifestyle could lend itself to some cool characters.

    Does it really matter? It'll be the exact same game they've been making for the past decade regardless.

    They need to do a 60s or 70s version before they go off the rails with made up future scenarios.

    near future brazil or south africa could be cool 

    Their could be an interesting balance between the super modern downtown stuff and the shanty towns and favelas also the tropical environments would be a change from the last two GTA games

    Not really. Look at GTA 3 and then look at every other game they've made since then. It's kinda sad. Especially with the quality peaking at Vice City.

    Seventies would be interesting. We've had the present (3 & 4), eighties (Vice city games), nineties (San Andreas), sixties (London), all represented. I actually wouldn't mind when or where the game is set, providing it's a fun game.

    Past or future could be pretty cool so long as it keeps the excellent gameplay (although maybe a add a few checkpoints?).   I think part of the reason I find RDR boring it because things like stagecoach races, etc. which while they fit with the period are boring to play.
