What if Grand Theft Auto were in your hometown?

[Sniderman]

Ok, so we have Vice City coming up that's supposed to be Miami. (Right?) Well, if GTA was to be based in YOUR hometown, what could we look forward to seeing?

Rather than my hometown of Mansfield, I'll use my work location of Cleveland, OH. Let's see, perhaps we could run tickets for the scalpers down by Jacobs Field or the Cleveland Browns stadium. (Being able to crash into one of those would be cool too.) After doing a few laps around the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (and perhaps carjacking the ZZ Top car they have on display), I'd motor through The Flats and along the Cuyahoga River. (It'd be cool if - in the game - you could set it ablaze again.)

Maybe take a trip around the Terminal Tower and drive along the Lake Erie coastline. Yup, lots to see and do around here. And you...?

A 3D GTA in london would be sweet. You could have the M25 around the city as a means of getting places fast. You could bomb it down Oxford Street in a TGR, running over all the pedestrians.
Then, you could steal the crown jewels from the Tower of London, bump off the queen at buckingham palace, blow up downing street after killing all the police guarding No.10.
Then you could go to Wembley (which will hopefully be finished by then), and drive on the pitch.
You could steal a boat and drive up and down the River Thames. What would be cool is if you blew up the Flood Barrier, wiping out the whole of the East End. That's mass murder for you.
You could also have a whole lot of fun in Leicester square (which is prnounced Lester, not Lyesester :P ).
I think i've put too much thought into this. But then again, what do you expect? :twisted:

A 3D GTA in london would be sweet.

well, looks like your dream is coming true mankey man. The getaway is a new game coming out hopefully soon from sony. Its like a london version of gta3 but MUCH MUCH better. Way more detailed for example. I am looking foreward to it myself.

GTA through Dover (A small town full of Spanish and putro-riicans). That'd be damn intresting actually (like a small-time version of Fast and the Furious).

[MarkM2112]

GTA through Chicago would almost remind me of a combination of the Blues Brothers and Running Scared. GOTTA have that car chase on the EL tracks!

[YoshiM]

GTA in Sheboygan? Hmmm, probably won't be all that fun. Speeding down Calumet and then careening through Kiwanis Park during Brat Days would be slightly entertaining. We have a lot of parks strewn about the city and some really f'd up back streets.

[scooterb23]

Snider, don't forget driving through the Tower City mall, and there has to be a level in Parma!!

For a CIrcleville, Ohio GTA, all the cars would have to be pickups...

You could knock over the giant pumpkin water tower

Play chicken with the trains

Cause chaos in the legendary Friday night cruising circle

Knock over some senior citizens?? I don't know, our town is very quiet.

[Skatepunk60]

It would be the shortest level EVER! RI is the smallest state in the US. But ya would have one hell of a time getting my beast offa my hands ;)

[BHvrd]

Well, seeing as I work in a resort area, and I deliver pizzas.

Running over tourists, and getting extra points for splating a fine chicks boobies to your windshield.

Have pizza delivery as a side quest, and be able to rig pizzas with explosives, and after they don't tip, BOOM!

There are so many things that a resort area can provide, and i'm sure Vice City will be great, though I doubt they will use my considerations above :twisted:

[Kess]

I'd hide under my bed and suck my thumb.

I love GTA, but being inside it.. *shudder*

[Cheese]

Hell, I live in Jersey City, NJ. Who says it ain't GTA?

[Nature Boy]

If it were to take place in Toronto, I'd imagine the bulk of the game would involve putting hits on other gang members in order to steal their Leafs tickets or to move themselves up on the Season Ticket list.

How about throwing in some corrupt city officials trying to get the Olympics held here?

Maybe: avoid getting knifed in Scarborough?

[jaydubnb]

Living in NYC, GTA3 was like a stroll down the street ;)

[Fuyukaze]

GTA in my hometown....
Now that would be funny! Imagine if you would, small town america. Rednecks, inbread cousins, donut pushin cops, and the general lee! It'd be like the Dukes of Hazerd met cops with a bit of green acres thrown in the mix. It wouldnt be taken seriously though, and the best car you could jack would maybe be a F350 Ford pickup. It would definitly be good for a laugh, but I just dont see it happening.

Extra:
I didnt realize it, but I have 800 posts. Where did the time go?

[Nukie]

GTA: STL, on the east and north side, already exists. You want mob stuff, go to the hill (yay mafia).

[Haoie]

Stay indoors and hope my house isn't 1 of those places you can go inside.

[The_Kodiak65]

ACCUALLY, my friend wrote a whole script for a GTA in my town.....preatty damn good too! i might call him and ask if it he still has a copy of it....

[Blitzwing256]

hmm gta in las ve....oh wait

they already did that, damnit!

[Streetball 21]

Wow, GTA: San Antonio would be awesome. Especially during Fiesta week in April, with all the drunks and downtown being jammed pack. Good grief, I can only imagine.

[donkeykong1]

You pretty much saw it in San Andreas.

[jdc]

Grand Theft? Here?

Nope.

BUT.......you know that new Silent Hill movie? I live in the small city that it was filmed in. They chose this place because they didn't have to modify much. How scary is THAT? :eek 2:

[cyberfluxor]

Actually it wouldn't be too bad if it were to take place in my area, but it would be a pain in the ass because you'd be stuck in traffic over half the game, even driving up on sidewalks and cutting through yards. It isn't anything amazing for us to wake up and see on the news that some teenager stole a car and went out of control parking the car in someones inground swimming pool or crashing into a building. We have some pretty messed up drivers around here that suck.

As for cars though, there's plenty of whealthy neighborhoods around here to jack some nice imports or even a few vipers. :D

[Captain Qb]

Come on guys, GTA in Finland?
I don't see the point.. ^.^
Only things that you can see here is some bums drinking alcohol and having so called fun..
Soo, GTA in my hometown wouldn't work..
And here doesen't happen anything, execpt someone
kills someone, and of course the killer is drunk, with axe..

Soo, If it would be in here Finland you could drink alcohol
and kill people with axe's.. Nawh.. It wouldn't work.

Love, Captain Qb.

[captain nintendo]

4 year old thread bumpage LOL

I thought GTA took place every day in Detroit :P

[n8littlefield]

GTA in my hometown would be more like Grand Theft Boat. I'm from an island off the coast of Maine, so I suppose it would involve stealing lobster boats, pulling up other people's traps and taking their catch, and maybe nighttime deer jacking!

[Poofta!]

well since gta 3 was modeled after nyc, i already have a gta in my hometown.

[Snapple]

GTA: Orlando

Mickey Mouse's ass is grass.

[Push Upstairs]

It'd be a very short game.

[GameSlaveGaz]

Wow, how long ago did this post start? (GTA III and Getaway "coming out soon?") Anyway, GTA Medford would be dumb as shit. Sure we got a mall, but it's a lame-ass mall. The only cool things in it are GameStop, Spencer's, and Friendly's (I love food and ice cream waaay too much) --- ooh we're getting a Harrison's Comics that's kinda cool. Anyway, it's the Meadow Glenn mall but they call it the Ghetto Glenn for justifiable reasons. We got some historical bragging rights like Jingle Bells was composed here, the Parker Brothers lived here, Fanny Farmer (the chocolate lady) lived here, Amelia Earhart lived here for a short time, part of the Revolutionary War was fought here (but the rest of Massachusetts can say that too), back in the 1700s and 1800s we were reknowned for ship building and rum (I wish we still were, I LOOOOVES me my rum) but other than that we're your average suburban city just outside of a major city. (5 miles north of Boston, yo) I mean, you can have a ton of fun hijacking a car and going the wrong way down the many one-way streets and running over old geezer's coming out of the assisted-living apartments. You can run rampant through the high school/vocational school and crash into historic buildings. You can rampage the aforementioned Ghetto Glenn mall. You can also rampage the 13 (yes, I do mean THIRTEEN) Dunkin' Donuts in this one city alone. I dunno, there are a lot of old Italian families in Medford, so you could have some mob stuff going on. But for that you're better off in the neighboring city of Malden, where my great-grandmother's family, the Spadaforas, own many businesses. My dad still insists they're not in the Mafia and that my uncles and great-uncles would be greatly offened to hear me say that, but that just makes me believe it even more LMAO.

However, a Grand Theft Boston would be interesting. Hijacking the MBTA, The Duck Tour boats, the Old Time Trolley tours, letting loose on all the college campuses, in the Pru and the John Hancock building. Busting it up in the North End or Chinatown, leading a high speed chase right into Fenway park in the middle of a game just to be gunned down but the FBI in front of crazy, drunk Sox fans, dumping bodies in the Charles River, holding out in the old Garden, umm....hmm...other Boston-related stuff....

[segarocks30]

Oh, God, GTA in CT. Well you could blow up WWE headquarters. You could steal monry from the richest state. Dig up Roger Connor's body. Shoot up Jodi Rell. Can't think of much else at the moment.
