my guesses are London, Mexico City(DF), Chicago, Tokyo.
Grand Theft Auto
Grand Theft Auto is a sandbox-violence game, that has drawn attention all over the world, and has pretty much become one of the most noticeable criminal-sandbox franchises ever.
What do you think the next city for GTA is going to be in?
It would have to be an American city, because so much of GTA is making fun of American culture, which lots of people in other countries are familiar with sometimes if they want and sometimes forced. To make fun of something like British culture in a way the average consumer would understand, then it would have to be reduced down to lame stereotypes.
Personally I'm about 90% positive its going to be VIce City. But it would be interesting to see a new city although Vice City will obviously be re-designed completely.
Absolutely no chance a modern GTA game will be held in a city outside the United States. The humor/satire just wouldn't work. If they ever do that, it will be the death of the series.
For that matter, I see only two locations other than Liberty City, Vice City, and San Andreas that might work:
GTA: Lakewood - '40s era Chicago, extending perhaps to Detroit.
GTA: Capitol City - Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and perhaps Virginia Beach.
I would love to see Tokyo, but can understand that the satire might not carry the same way, possibly you could still take the piss out of American culture by having mobsters in Japan as a fish out of water thing. I do hope it's somewhere new though.

"I say this to everyone and they're always saying "no, england, man. it makes sense, just think about it."
I'd be surprised if it left the US, but I'd love a London one - my ideal one would be Edinburgh/ Glasgow (but that'll never happen) - so holding out for a London.
Dubai. I would also love a Fallout game set in a deserted Dubai as well.
