Grand Theft Auto VI [GTA 6]: What can we expect?

What can we expect or would like to see?

I would like to see…
• Return to Vice City (Miami) and the surrounding cities/counties around it (larger scope of course).
• Better A.I., especially for law enforcement and NPC interaction.
• Something more adult/edgier… less cartoony characters.
• More accessible buildings and storefronts.
• Lighting and neon system similar to Infamous Second Son. With all the neon lighting in-and-around Miami, this is begging for it.
• Weather system similar to Drive Club.
• Of course, better car physics and handling. Maybe car damage similar or better than Burnout Paradise.

Maybe a Vegas style city would be good. You could have huge open casinos, statistically accurate odds and missions that involve ripping them off. Also vast desert areas

Yes! I really enjoyed Las Venturas and it's surrounding desert in GTA San Andreas and I was a little disappointed that GTA V didn't have an impassable mountain range through which an expanded San Andreas could be added. Mind you they can always join another land mass on the the existing one - geographical correctness be damned.

Vice City only worked for me because it was set in the 1980s - complete with endless Miami Vice Scarface and other iconic 80s Miami parodies. I'm not convinced they would want to revisit 1980s Miami again, it was 25 years ago!

These would be my wishes primarily.
 
Please, no more miami, or new york or california. The world is huge, let's have them do something different. Also, I hope there is no RDR2 coming from the other rockstar studio. They too, I believe, could do much better trying something different out. Like a medieval game perhaps. Dark ages theme and social commentary, with RDR gameplay, without the clichè nerdy lore of goblins and dragons from other fantasy games nor the self absorbed illuminati fiction of the AC series.
Or maybe a space game, with their typical satirical take on traditional sci-fi movies and whatnot...
Sure another western would be good, but something new would be even BETTER.
 
R* pretty much stated, the GTA series will remain U.S. centric. Maybe, a GTA game based around Detroit, Seattle or even Hawaii.
 
-screen space reflections
-some decent cloth simulation
-better facial animations
-being able to lock the time of day during free roam
-a lot more interiors, the same size as GTA 5 but with lots buildings you can enter would be cool.
-denser forests
-more traffic/pedestrians, i'd like to see some traffic jams
-volumetric clouds ala driveclub
-more easter eggs (i want a hendo hoverboard ! )
-stable framerate, at least as stable as GTA5 PS4/XB1
-and of course a real photo mode ! Like in infamous

How aboot Dubai?

It would be great in theory... but R* seems dead set on keeping it grounded in the U.S. for now. Something about (us) Americans being gun toting nuts, homophobic, bible thumping, capitalistic bastards... o_O

I think America is just an easier target for satire. US culture is well propagated through TV and film. Do you think the GTA audience would get the political and cultural satire of a game set in Abu Dhabi or Dubai? Or even Saudi? To appreciate satire, you have to at least be on terms with the thing being mocked. A modern GTA in London would be tough because we don't have that gun culture. Maybe the 'T" could literally stand for tea! ;)

In terms of global culture, China might be doable but, again, guns aren't commonplace there. The US works principally because you don't have to bend realism too far to get GTA.
 
Some people don't really take well to being mocked either. For instance the debauched lifestyles of supposedly Islamic rich kids is easily mockable, but it's not going to work out well doing it. All they can do with a setting like Dubai is pull their punches to the point of patheticness. With the anti-corruption crusade they might get away with exposing the darker side of the Chinese jetset a little more, but in the end it's still a sale ban waiting to happen. Europeans have thicker skin, but if you set it in Europe you get the problem that as bad as the racial tension is in the US, at least it's mostly not caught up with religion which is a can of worms they don't want to touch (or at least not the particular one in question, Christianity/Catholicism is pretty safe to mock of course).

Staying in the US makes a lot of sense to me.

A stable 24fps @ 792p. ;)

mm... I suppose it would be a bit nutty if R* did make a Dubai-inspired game with a female protagonist that ends up taking over the city and overturning everything. :p

ahem. :( (I don't mean to go RSPC etc here though!)
 
I'd agree with all except the "edgier character" point. It's semi-serious and a bit of a laugh. If they go down the "super serious no laughing matter" route it'd lose some charm imo.

GTA is largely a satirical look on the US. E.g:

 
A decent rendition of London would be very, very cool. With obvious next gen bells and whistles. I enjoyed driving around in The Getaway on PS2 and it would be crazy to see what could be done with today's hardware.
