Where do you think Grand Theft Auto: 4....or whatever its working title is, will be.

Ok, now where do you want it to be...keep it real with logical posts, nothing like...Jesus land or the moon....:p

Also, what new features are you hoping will be added to GTA: 4?

What old features do you want brought back?

It's "Stockholm."

As for the topic of the thread, I couldn't care less; the game seems incredibly boring to me, and frankly I cannot understand why anyone would waste time playing it.

Just as long as you remember to put any weapons or mace you brought along in the designated bins strewn around Arlanda. Wouldn't want the police to play "That's not where the baton goes!" with you. That pleasure will be mine.

The rest of the country is desolate and filled with indigenous Sami who like to collect heads of proper Swedes, which they then shrink and turn into key chain accessories they sell to German tourists that have hard-ons for moose and the Aurora Borealis.

IMO the biggest mistake in GTA:SA was the dissappearance of the "Killer Frenzies", it's an historical feature!!

More features are impossible to be asked for; the game is a life in itself. About the location, I think that is time for an European trip, don't you think?

I'm just a Spelling Nazi, sorry. And to an even worse degree, a Grammar Nazi; in a very irritating manner, I am sure, I am compelled to point it out when people use "good" as an adverb and end their sentences in prepositions.

I usually don't point out errors on forums, but you spelled it too different wrong ways twice, so it couldn't have been a mere typing error.

GTA needs to stop trying to be an RPG and go back to focusing on running around and blowing shit to hell. Favor from different gangs is ok, but all this new RPG shit is crap and should stop being incorporated into every single action adventure/stealth adventure. It should be in London again, they have overkilled the "stupid city in Florida" angle

Grand Theft Auto: Baghdad
Cannot think of a name

So here's the idea, and I don't know where it would be-

One of the things I don't like about GTA and its ilk is when I fail a mission the game continues on and I go back to the boss guy and he gives me the mission all over again like I never tried it in the first place. As I understand it, in the top down version they had something where the boss would give you shit for fucking up. I like that.

I want the missions tied in a less linear fashion. There are things you can accomplish and can be undone, the missions would end up being a result of thier rise and fall, the game would then be an ever changing landscape. Of course, I have a personal bias towards narrative, but I think that there can be a narrative even here, but one under far more control of the audience (in this instance, the player). It would be akin, but more involved, to controling territory in SA, where you took it over and occasionally would have to defend it, so the size of your territory would fluctuate. When I played, I actually got stuck on that-doing that even after I found out that you lose all that territory anyway. Now if it where more involved, where leaders would rise and fall and key up kinds of missions, that'd be great. I wonder if that made sense to anyone...

Chicago is the last American city I can think it could be in. They could do London and go after The Getaway in the same way they went after Driver (in GTA3 you went after the character in Driver)

Well, I hope they make it more like Vice City in the "property" aspect....I wasnt too amazed at the property you could get in San Andreas....save the air strip. The Malibu club, the Car dealership...that stuff was freaking smurf! I would love to see that back in.

As for location...I'd like to see a London, Paris, Berlin kind of nation. Just my opinion though. I think between those three...it would just be amazing.

But thats what I love about it...doing missions for all the gangs and becoming "the boss". Anyway, if you dont like it...the free roaming shit is still there, so I dont know what your complaining about.

Also, Florida's cities arnt stupid and they have only done one game here...Vice city....Liberty City was New York and San Andreas was L.A. San Fran and Vegas.

That's what we Southerners ask ourselves despite assurances by northern hicks that it is. We've hydroelectric power plants there, I think... and, umm, ice hotels. (http://icehotel.com/)

Thats crazy...They had one of those in the James Bond movie...I think that one was on Iceland.

Wow...I'd love to stay in one of those.

This summer, I will be in Sweden...only in Stockholm though. Although, according to your posts...I wont be missing out by not going to the rest of Sweden.

It is great fun, I must admit. Being in the sauna at around 80-90 C, and then runing outside, buck naked into -30 C, rolling around in the snow under the northern lights, and then going back in to the bar, drinking vodka out of ice glasses. :)

Contrary to popular belief, it seems, I do not live in Stockholm. You will be missing out, but Stockholm is nice, so no need to regret only being there.

Anyway, we'll see what happens concerning drinking...I could pass for alot older than I look....but if they I.D. me...well theres the end of that.

Fass, although I obviously have problems with your politics and I dont like your countrys government....I hear it is one of the most amazing countries in the world and we will be there in early to mid June...so maybe we will see some northern lights. To be honest, I am as jittery as a 12 year old school girl...and I cant wait to see your country and the rest of Scandanavia.

I really want to "meet" your women....I hear you have the finest in the world.

Oh, they're just your garden variety centrist socialists, resting on parliamentary support by the leftists and the greens. Nicely checked and balanced by the opposition, which tends to be socially liberal, too, leaving economics a more controversial issue. It's nice.

I hear it is one of the most amazing countries in the world

Prepare to be disappointed. It's nice, but among "the most amazing countries" in the world, I don't know. It's home. It's hard to imagine an outside view.

Don't expect them at that time of the year so far south as Stockholm. The summers tend to be bright - "land of the midnight sun," remember? But if you do have a chance, do not miss a traditional celebration of Midsummers.

Gotchya...what day are the midsummers at? I live in South Florida, give me a break.

Also, do they celebrate them in Finland and St. Petersburg also...cuz I might be there during midsummers...depending on when it is.

I love these games. There are already rumors of it being based in one city and surrounding areas. Gonna be bigger than SA, and also I heard something about fuel. In other words you'll run out if you don't fill up.

They are currently working on a new engine, as it will be made for the ps3.

What I would like to see is maybe a female lead. Like an ex whore or something who's been thrown into a deadly game in which she has to fight for her life. I think that would be cool.

I would like to see it in london, but alas there has already been a grand theft auto: London. I do think they should take it out of the states and maybe base it somewhere in europe.

Also, I wanna be able to fuck up huge landmarks and all that shit LOL
