I alwasy thought it would be cool to have GTA set in Ireland. But living just outside of Belfast, and being born on the end of the Troubles, I would never want to see those days come back to haunt us.
Im not saying it would happen, but GTA is a very powerful game when pulled off correctly, and with it containing often homemade weapons (Molotov Cocktails etc.) I just think it would do more harm than good to have it set in a Northern part of Ireland.
Anywho. I loved San Andreas to bits, having got it on the release day, I still have the original copy (And the bandana for buying it!) in my home. I think to have it redeveloped would kill it. Going off track slightly, look at how good Borderlands was, and it did not focus on Graphics. the next GTA needs to go back to these roots and give us a gameplay bombshell of a game.
I posted this idea somewhere else, maybe it was here I cant remember... The game starts by following a SUV, inside a family of 4 with all their stuff driving into (I believe I said Hollywood)... But a few wrong turns leads them into unintentionally busting a drugs trade. In the crossfire the entire family is ripped to shreads but you survive. This is where it gets nasty. You then pick in a bloodied mess who the paramedics focus their medical attention too (Choice for male or female character, Husband or Wife.)
Usual haha, loops must be jumped, darts must be thrown while your working your way up the Hollywood food chain to find and crush the drugs ring that cost the other 3 members of your family.
Oh, and there has to be a Belltower sniper scene. Actually thats the last mission, a big big shipment hauls in. In the belltower picking those homies off like hairs on a sweater with a final epic kill of the ring leader in mad chase across the hollywood hills.
