A video game doesn't need to have movie-tier writing and be ultra serious all the time. Vice City is widely regarded as the best in the series for a reason.

Honesgly I liked san andreas more.
Why? Genuinely curious. The only way it really improved over VC was better camera control.
Right, but how would an 80s setting enable them to sell more shark cards?
Doesn't RDR2 have a Shark Cards like system too? Rockstar finally killed it's soul and became like every other company.
Yep, and a RDR2 online is a complete failure compared to V. Which is why I highly doubt they will do anything outside the modern day. The next GTA will be built from the ground up with shark cards in mind and an 80s setting would make this unnecessarily difficult for them.
I wonder if it will even have a singleplayer story or if they'll go full retard and make it a pseudo mmo.
I guess we will see.
are you serious?
VC was an overbudget expansion to GTAIII, SA was a technical marvel.
>VC was an overbudget expansion to GTAIII, SA was a technical marvel.
I asked you why. You still have yet to explain.
>it's better because it is
I would unironically love GTA6 VC with a female protagonist
You cannot make a good crime open world game with a female protagonist.
How would that stop the preference of cinematic linear experiences over actual good gameplay or the jewish obsession of ingame currencies/MTX?
>What is Saints Row 2
I will concede that you cannot make a realistic crime open world game with a female protagonist, but your point is ridiculous
>What is Saints Row 2
A game with "wackiness" being it's only gimmick, obvious that GTA 5 tried imitating it in this way too.
>le crazy wacky mission where trevor smokes weed and hallucinates and kills evil clowns!!!1! xD
Going back to the 80's would solve almost all of the problems I face
I don't get the appeal of GTA. What is supposed to be fun about going on a rampage? You just drive over or shoot some npcs who yell some generic lines, and then get busted by the police.
personally I liked the aiming system in SA much more than the "fixed" aiming from III/VC. It felt like you had more control over the character. And in general you did have more control: you could swim and use parachutes, which added to the variety of traversal methods.
However I still think that VC is superior due to much more likeable and down-to-earth main character, less wack shit. Stealing a jetpack and flying a combat jet aircraft should be difficult for a hood nigga
Going to Japan would also solve everything.
Wackiness does not make a game bad. Saints Row 2 was about criminals, it was open world, and it was fun because it was San Andreas but with more self-indulgent features and gimmicks.
It is not by any means realistic, yes a female protagonist in a realism-oriented crime game would either ruin the atmosphere/immersion or be extremely boring. But your point that you cannot have a good open world game about crime with a female protagonist is bullshit.
>what is yakuza
rockstar is too big for sleazy crime simulators
If you think that Yakuza is somehow close to GTA, you probably didn't play either one or the other
>>no in game smartphone
Why is having a phone an issue?
>>no shoehorned in epic meme references or "internet culture"
user, VC just had a bunch of references to 80s culture, which was still pretty shit. You were just born in 1992 and think it's better.
>>no more shitty music on in game radio
The majority of the soundtrack in GTAV was from the mid 90s or before.
>>story based heavily on 80's or 90's crime movie (much preferable to GTA 5's non-story)
Nah. I prefer stories that have a little bit of originality, as opposed to being "Scarface the game" or whatever.
>>no more doom and gloom atmosphere of GTA 4
GTA4 was over a decade ago. The most recent GTA you got wasn't doom or gloom.
0/10. Shitty post.
no the 80's were shit, the music was shit, this zoomer 80's nostalgia is shit
>A game with "wackiness" being it's only gimmick
It's time for you to start playing games and not just read shitposts about them.
>>story based heavily on 80's or 90's crime movie (much preferable to GTA 5's non-story)
as if large chunks of gta 5 weren't ripped from Heat
You can't blame this on zoomers. I was born in 1989 and people my age won't shut up about how great the 80s were.
why the fuck would you want another 80s game? it would feel just like vice city.
>>no more shitty music on in game radio
GTA V has the best radio music selection after San Andreas
you just have basic suburban american taste
Don't forget the movie Thief.
WE WERE SO IN VIES
IN OUR DANCE HALL DAYS
I'm talking about the meme a e s t h e t i c s synthwave/outrun trash
That's not what OP is asking for.
I've never heard anyone complain about the smartphone and what the fuck are you even on about with the memes and internet culture references?
and Analyze This
No. No thanks.
>VC best in series
lol, no.
>no in game smartphone
What was the problem with that?
>no shoehorned in epic meme references or "internet culture"
GTA was always about pop culture references

>story based heavily on 80's or 90's crime movie (much preferable to GTA 5's non-story)
Mafia is the most boring genre out there
Michael was a parody of people like you, faggot. When are people gonna realize:
>GTA is a parody
>Not meant to be taken seriously
>90% of the reason it sells well is because the media oversells how violent it is
Worst case scenario GTA VI is leftypol: the game
All I want is a GTA protagonist based off Patrick Bateman. Really didn’t like Trevor at all, having someone trying to hide how psychotic they are is a lot funnier than whipping your dick out at the camera at any given opportunity
smoke missions are the worse. even fucking yoga is better
How good is the story in Vice City? The one 3D GTA I haven't played.
Synthwave is gay, I want actual 80's culture with actual 80's music.
>what the fuck are you even on about with the memes and internet culture references?
Did you not play far enough into GTA 5 to see Jimmy literally fucking teabag a merryweather agent in full soldier costume? He teabagged him after knocking him out with his bong. Seriously.
>The most recent GTA you got wasn't doom or gloom.
No, it was the polar opposite. It was Saints Row-tier nonsense.
it's a scarface ripoff, so it's good, I liked it more than san andreas story
>>story based heavily on 80's or 90's crime movie (much preferable to GTA 5's non-story)
GTAV literally ripped off Heat, Die Hard 3, and The Italian Job and more

Why is the smart phone a problem?
If it's just the annoying phone calls, you know they had those in VC too right?
80s nostalgia is dead. They should've set GTA in Vice City back in 2013 with Tesla Boy, Kavinski, Electric Youth, Chromeo and all those bastards on the radio. Too late now. It'd be like releasing a debut Hair Metal album in 1991 (guessing GTA 6 comes out in 2020 or '21).
Modern Miami / Vice City would be better
There are (or were) really good bands and solo acts making modern-esque 80s music. Not synthwave, not vaporwave, but really good stuff sounding straight out of Vice City (don't ask for links, I cannot be bothered anymore). But it was underground and in the first half of this decade.
Synthwave killed the 'movement', imo. I predicted that at the time. Oversaturation of boring instrumental tracks that all sound the same.
But you play as a gangbanging nigger who never stops talking in hoodspeak.
>not vaporwave
Some vaporwave is okay, but it has to have great presentation and be more than just slowing a song down. I'm very fond of videos featuring old commercials.
youtube.com
Modern Miami, incorporating surrounding areas, with travel between islands with large explorable areas, Cuba (CommieWave) and Jamaica
RDR doesn't have most of those complaints but it's still shit
the problem with rockstar is rockstar
(and their new realization they can get billions from an online mode that has f2p game monetization)
youtu.be
as long as this is on the radio, I'm happy.
what are some tunes you're hoping to hear Yea Forums?
bump
>bumping when you have nothing worth saying
Fuck off
And you, you think they couldn't do dark and gritty in the 80s? They made the choice to move towards more "realistic" and "darker" stories by themselves, the timeframe has nothing to do with it.
Here are your GTA VI protagonists
>no in game smartphone
>no shoehorned in epic meme references or "internet culture"
oh yeah pretty prease these gave me AIDS in gta 5, and vicecity is my favourite GTA
Also no need to pander to crazy social justice garbage or having to confront how fucked up the world is right now.
Any game in the past is preferable and actually possible. God, I'd actually go for a remake of GTA:SA.
Cocaine Cowboys was fucking great. Great setting for GTA that needs to be revisited.
Higher res. It also needs the drug dealing mechanics from Chinatown Wars, no "heart of gold" refugee story. You are a criminal making a living off of drug addicts, and you're going to look good doing it.
why was the 80's so aesthetic
Wasn't he packing that Uzi in his coat, too? That's rad.
bring back V Rock with Bruce Dickinson as host
GTA's main audience, that is the majority of people that buy the game, are children. There is no benefit to pandering to "muh 80s nostalgia" since the target audience don't give a shit about that.
Synthwave is fucking gay and totally misses the point of music of the era. It NEEDS vocals, there's more to the look and feel than just Outrun.
III > VC > SA > IV > V
>trusting Dan Houser
Your loss user.
You're right user, as much as I wish it wasn't true. Evident by Cockstar adding a selfie feature, I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
youtube.com
Bring back chatterbox.
In the 80's, even commercials selling toys and clothes were loaded with pure soul.
Won't happen user. Every numbered GTA since 3 was set in the release date's year. So pretty sure GTA 6 will be set in 20XX instead of the 80's
And we're probably never going to see another spinoff game, just like we'll never see another singleplayer expansion. Wasn't there even singleplayer DLC planned for 5 not unlike TLAD and TBoGT, but GTA Online proved too lucrative and Rockstar scrapped the entire idea?
Ye, online was too good for Rockstar to bother making a singleplayer expansion so they just kept adding patches instead.
there's more stuff to do
VC is great and all, but SA is the defacto GTA game.
>modern day Vice City
>100 hidden packages around city
>really just low grade lootboxes with low purity coke in them
>you can spend irl money buying higher purity coke hidden packages from "overseas drug lords"
>somehow this gives you weapons, clothing, cars and money
Yeah, sure. But is SA set in the GTA universe's version of Miami in the 1980's with a plot centered around cocaine?
SA > LCS > VC imo
VC>>>SA>VCS>LCS>III
On a side note, why was there never a San Andreas stories? I really liked the game world of San Andreas, I just wish I could have played in it as someone who didn't feel the need to say "nigga" or "homie" every few minutes.
How do I not care about anything anymore and ride the wave?
They should set it in Northern Ireland during the troubles.
based and redpilled
it would still have checkpoints every two seconds in already impossible to fail boring cinematic missions
At least you would be able to walk around without seeing NPC's whip out their fucking iFruits.
But the zoom zooms wouldn't like that
because "blacks commit 60% of all crime" or whatever dumbass statistic you dredge up in when convenient
I want a Long Good Friday GTA.
This. The zoom zooms can't relate if there are no memes or pop culture references.
In fact Vice City has so many Miami Vice and Scarface references that most of the people who played it don't know about it.
i want a gta where you play as a dirty cop, itd be perfect
I cant wait for the CliKlak dance minigame.
how about the 1960's and you play as enforcer for a casino in Las Venturas
I'd like that too.
they were PSP games, it wouldn't have worked
No, they'd find some way to shoehorn le 60's racism and segregation into the plot. 80's (or 70's, that would be cool).
80ies was a bubble economy, at least inflation would make sense.
oh no a 5 seconds cutscene ruined the game!
Huh? Savings and Loan was a scam but the 80's were boom times after Volcker whipped stagflation.
This but unironically. It proved just how out of touch Rockstar really is.
>Casino with a ''no blacks'' policy
based
>No, they'd find some way to shoehorn le 60's racism and segregation into the plot
it's not like they didn't exist
...
Not in the force Mafia 3 and other games about the era show. It's forced into literally every plot point.
>awkward pause after every use of the word "negro"
>they still shy away from saying nigger
Cocain cwoboys is unironically the perfect setting for GTA game. And it won't happen.
Does anyone remember 48 Hours? Nolte was super racist.
it isn't shoehorned in Mafia 3 since it's a central theme in the game
also the story is the least of the problems in Mafia 3
I honestly liked that CJ speaked slang to his grove street buddies, but speak normal english when dealing with much crazier people.
Yes, I also watch red letter media
The 80s had a bunch of high profile drug crimes that can be used as influence for any game.
go play saints row so you can realize how much of a fucking retard you look like right now
Mafia 3 was just the Punisher with a racial angle. Lincoln's beef with Sal was much more personal.
>rockstar makes a GTA where they make fun of the 80's nostalgic boomers
>duuude next gta is definitively in the 80s!
sounds like you're the one out of touch if the gamer caricature character hurt your feelings that much
80s was the era where crime, drugs, and fashion had good synergy.
You basically mean this then.
A Bronx Tale managed to talk about racism in the 60s without getting preachy.
