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.

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.
