I was hoping for Chicago. From prohibition-era mobsters to current street crime to a history of political corruption (I always wanted a GTA where the mayor or other high ranking politician is the main villain), our third-largest city seems perfect for a GTA.

Unfortunately these days, I think because of how much these games cost to make, they can't take too many risks with a locale that may not hit as well. Like, if they did early Chicago or something, that'd be amazing, but the fact that the game wasn't 'modern' would turn some people away. I've always thought it'd be cool if they tried to do a GTA Future, complete with problems of the day involving androids and their relation with real humans (kinda like that Detroit game), with all kinds of weird gadgets, guns, cars, flying vehicles, etc. and the insane tech in the city. They could apply a lot of modern issues like language and information control and amplify it for satirical purposes, explore AI tech going too far, etc. It'd be cool.
But, I'm still excited to go back to Vice City or whatever this winds up being. I haven't played it since I was a freshman in high school but always enjoyed that location.

Apparently the guy who runs rockstar said "theoretically we would like to charge for the amount of hours in a game" when someone asked him about pricing...

And of course after all my constant bitching and moaning about the direction GTA V went the announcement of the trailer has got me ready to go. Damn you Rockstar

So have they announced when they expect this to be out? Fall of '24? Only for it to be delayed for a few months a’la GTA V and RDR2.

I think in this modern climate, a Chiraq based GTA would be toooooooo wild imo
