The next GTA

So how would you like them to do it? I personally would prefer it if they reverted back to the less realistic style found in GTA 3 through to San Andreas, if they added next-gen graphics to that I just think it would be brilliant. I felt a little let down by GTA 4 and felt it was carried hugely by hype to the point at which players were convinced it was the perfect game, and it was a triumph; however it just didn't feel entirely like a GTA to me, something was missing. What do you think?

I sincerely hope the next GTA has a significantly bigger game world. Like 10x bigger

Me and several of my friends agree that we would be IMMENSELY satisfied if they redid San Andreas from the ground up, with next gen graphics and online and the works. Sure they could update/throw in whatever new things they wanted, but you honestly can't say that wouldn't be awesome. San Andreas came before it's time. They had the scope and feel of the world down great, but it was limited by the hardware. If I could switch when GTAIV and San Andreas were released, I would.

Couldn't agree more, it managed to combine a surprisingly deep and compelling plot with fun gameplay, it was the kind of game you could jump in and out of when you wanted but also stick with and enjoy the story. The gaming world was the perfect size and you could play for hours and always discover new things. Rockstar got everything right with San Andreas.

The next one better not try to be as a dark as GTA IV, as it just came off as overdone and annoying. I didn't even bother finishing the game, I just got bored with everything being so dark and well boring. I didn't even find anything funny about the game. I used to like to like going around free roaming in VC and SA with some crazy cheat codes just having fun. None of that was present in GTA IV, and the main cast in IV was just annoying. Granted, Rockstar hasn't done anything to impress me this gen, so hopefully they can come back with a new GTA.

i still play vice city and san andrea's now, they are far superior to gta4, people are right gta4 just went way to serious, nice idea but just wasn't interested. san andrea's was just perfect, and with the ps3 should now carry that customisation on, and develop that further. i also think they should stop thinking bigger maps is better, and make the map smaller but a more living and interactive world. i'm not saying to small, but i'd rather have a smaller map with alot more to do in it. the likes of la noire and gta4 yea the maps were big but you couldn't go in anywhere except a selection of small shops, whats the point having a 10x bigger map when you can't go in. in gta4 to start off you had a small little clothes shop, the stuff u cud buy was so lmited, you had a bar, a theatre, comedy club, bowling alley, which were spread so far apart, the other parts had nothing really in it of interest, it was more just a grim view to places you needed to go. they need to start a fresh and think smaller map a whole lot more interaction, things to do, places to go, if they can make a tv with hours of programmes then why can't they make a town which i can go into every single shop, go to the gym bulk up or hit and get fat, ride bmx's, or planes or wot ever. the next gta needs to be san andreas an more, they took a step back in gta4, so gta5 needs to be 3steps foward.
