After making an entire state for us to freely roam in, and the supposed release of the next GTA on Playstation 3, the next logical step is creating an entire nation based in \ on the United States. If this is the case, then I would like to see the following: four states that combine likenesses of big cities in the US that needen't be in the same state in real life.
My preferred playgrounds would be:
State #1:
Name: Sin County*
Cities:
Chicanery City* (Chicago, Illinois)
Motown* (Detroit, Michigan)
Gateway* (St. Louis, Misouri)
State #2
Name: San Andreas
Cities:
Los Santos (Los Angeles, California)
San Fierro (San Francisco, California)
Las Venturas (Las Vegas, Nevada)
State #3
Name: New Liberty*
Cities:
Liberty City (New York City, New York)
Franklinville* (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
The District* (Washington, D.C.)
State #4
Name: Los Flores*
Cities:
Vice City (Miami, Florida)
New Normandy* (New Orleans, Louisiana)
Ville de Asesino* (Dallas, Texas)
*the name of this city \ state is but a placeholder for any other, probably better one R* North would give it if they shared my idea.
The game should probably be set in current day, since that is a pretty neutral choice which won't shock off anyone like GTA: Vice City did to people that never lived through the 80s. It also saves time just staying with one era and not having to make missions and characters for more different ones.
If Rockstar DID have all the time they could ask for, however, I would like to see four different decades, each with a different type \ race of main character, starting in the state that is most interesting for the time. Of course, you should be able to visit the other states as well and be able to see the differences of the cities between times. Non-specific ideas for four storylines:
Era #1: early 1970s
Character background: Italian-American mafia member
State: New Liberty
City order: Liberty City -> Franklinville -> The District
Possible cameos: The Truth, Salvatore Leone, Sonny Forelli, Tommy Vercetti (find out how he became known as the Harwood Butcher :p )
Possible references: Goodfellas, The Godfather, Donny Brasco
Era #2: early 1980s
Character background: Cuban refuge
State: Los Flores
City order: Vice City -> New Perish -> Ville de Asesino
Possible cameos: Ken Rosenberg, Kent Paul, Colonel Cortez, Ricardo Diaz
Possible references**: Scarface, Miami Vice, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara, Blues singers and any random Kennedy assassination movie
Era #3: mid-1990s
Character background: African-American ghetto inhabitant
State: Sin County
City order: Motown -> Gateway -> Chicanery City
Possible cameos: Carl Johnson, Ray Machowski, Donald Love
Possible references**: 8 Mile, Canada, Oprah, trailer parks, cement shoes :p
Era #4: current day
Character background: Triad member
State: San Andreas
City order: San Fierro -> Los Santos -> Las Venturas
Possible cameos: Carl Johnson, Ray Machowski, Donald Love (WTF happened to him?), Asuka Kasen, Claude Speed
Possible references**: GTA2 gangs, over-expensive blockbusters overflowing with useless special effects, super hero movies, 50 Cent :angry:
**Not literal references, but references such as spoofs and parodies.
