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
Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1

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.

Technically… London has already been done.
Zeth0s@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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

Ah… you make a very good point.

If Rockstar wanted to bring back London '69 (maybe '79 now?) I wouldn’t be mad at all.
MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.

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

Thanks for the reference! I’ll check that out!

Solid game, I believe it began as a sequel to True crime streets of LA. It felt like I was playing an infernal affairs video game
MeatsOfRage@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’d like it just set in any new city outside of these 3. It’s always been a rotation of Liberty, Vice and San Andreas, even back to GTA 1 (which was the 3 cities in one)
cyborganism@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
True. Chicago would’ve been nice. Or Atlanta.
3ntranced@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.

Good point. And Florida has become crazy enough that a GTA game set there is almost realistic.

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.
cyborganism@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Agree. Florida culture has become very conductive for this kind of game.

i dunno if they find enough whacky criminal characters. Seems to be the other countries are still too normal or things are too fucked up for the series to work there.

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 is 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.
