LMAO
LOL
LMFAO

what baffles me the most is there is no “GTA clones” anymore. its like we got The Godfather, saints row, sleeping dogs and…? nothing else really.
and they’re over 10 years old now. i guess also True Crime LA and NYC before that. and… some hobbyist demos/mobile phone slop made in UE4 (so, not worth playing).
you’re telling me NO ONE is even trying to make a GTA III/VC/SA -like?? you could argue the scope of GTA is very difficult for a hobbyist/small indie team but really? indies have games like RE/Silent Hill or another “PS2 era” modern retro clones and i imagine making a freeroam TPS with driving mechanics cant be too far off.

>>724908275 (OP)
>no GTA Chinatown Wars 2
cw was set in lc

>>724908464
its such a retarded point. sleeping dogs proved this with its focus on brawler martial arts gameplay but there were the odd shooter section and you simply couldnt keep the guns, like gangsters really do in more tightly controlled countries they dont carry them because thats an extra serious charge

>>724908952
and i guess if you had to stretch it, cyberpunk is a GTA-like but thats really all the “crime shooty and drivy” games i can think of

We got dark sovls india before gta pradesh :(

I think Shanghai would be cool, but I am 100% certain that they would offend the Chinese.

How is Watch Dogs not a GTA clone?

He's correct, they tried it with London with Watch Dogs Legion and people didn't care about that game.

Uninspired hacks, is free money!!!!

>>724909465
Well, London was before GTA got big. Watch Dogs Legion was woke trash.

it's that simple

GTA Serbia after Niko got deported from the US
They've got tons of guns too

>>724909465
>>724909620
it wasnt even really woke trash… it was just… trash. the writers obviously bingewatched early Black Mirror and said yeah lets do that innit.
>DUDE LTL TAZER GUNS (they work exactly like guns)
>DUDE CONSEQUENCES FOR KILLING PEOPLE, THEIR FRIENDS/GANG WILL COME AFTER YOU (a repetitive ‘ur ally has been kidnapped!’ mission where you can just take a cop drone and wipe em all out)

>DUDE STORMZY LMAO
>DUDE THE ONLY STREET GANG IN THE GAME IS A MULTI CULTI MISHMASH OF OUTDATED INNER CITY GANG STEREOTYPES (seriously they had various gangs in san fran, they dont have the “forge assassination order” hack, you cant use faction tensions to cause chaos in freeroam to distract cops
it just feels like a piss poor “this was an idea as DLC for 2 but we wanted money”

>>724908275 (OP)
>no GTA South America
to be fair they can play GTA irl down there

Playing Sleeping Dogs. It's GTA in Hong Kong, but you're kung fu fighting more than shooting guns. Original version with HD textures is the best.

>>724910117
>I want to play as 40 variants of UK trash or serbian monkeys
LMAO

>>724910139
That's the thing, they know plenty of other places have plenty of guns but they want to push the idea that only America is gun filled to associate America's violence problems with the guns themselves

>>724910428
Yes

>>724910559
Are you retarded? They don't need a video game company to push that narrative. The country does it every single day for free.

>>724908952
GTA6 cost like 6 quadrillion dollars to make, no other company can spend that kind of cash for such a big risk

It's the same reason for why there's no "X-killer" games anymore, games are just too expensive to make to risk trying to compete with an established IP

>>724910780
but like i said SOMEONE must want to make a ‘3D era’ / PS2 era GTA clone? there are isometric RE clones, there are other PS1-PS2 indie clones of big name games, i just dont get it, and when i google it i get all the games already listed ITT and other than that its shit like GRAB THAT AUTO 6 (google playstore, uploaded by sukdik patel inc.)

>>724909082
SD had crime, violence and corruption, but you hardly see guns and weapons brawling was the prime confront 90% of the time.

>>724910559
>America is gun filled to associate America's violence problems with the guns themselves
I am sure that this is the only country that has had more school shootings than any other country, even if we added up all the countries in the world, they would not come close.

>its so over
its been over online took off a decade ago

>>724910117
I think his point is that US has all of them, every race every background and it won't be out of place, le melting pot or whatever. If you had a game set in russia it'd be weird to a japanese guy or american guy, but in america you can have practically anyone and it would work

>>724910891
thats what i mean man. imagine a GTA clone in L O N D O N where its essentially sleeping dogs except instead of dodging flying tiger style kicks you’re dodging a nigger with a knife. i think thats what OP means

>>724910886
>a ‘3D era’ / PS2 era GTA clone?
Why would anyone want to when the 3D era GTA games are already the best of their era by far?

>>724911021
more content. different takes on a freeroam crime / racing game. i know 3D liberty city, vice city, san andreas maps better than i know my damn home town

>>724911094
Ah I know what you mean
Then there's mods for San Andreas with brand new maps made every year

>>724911013
A sleeping dogs style game set in the UK but with western fighting styles instead of kung fu would actually be pretty cool, like that mad max game

>>724908275 (OP)
The game already takes place in a world with no little children, just pretend like the rest of the world has the same gun laws as the usa

>>724911265
Children do exist, you just don't see them walking around.
Also, it is a lot harder to do the satire if you change the laws, but again America isn't the only place with both legal and illegal guns.
I suppose you could argue that the gun stores in GTA are exaggerated since you can get guns with no waiting period and are able to buy Rocket Launchers and military hardware.

>Oi i heard yer bean rootin me sheep, ya bloody cunt.
i don't think you really want to drive down endless straight British suburbs

>>724911195
is there? i used to mod the fuck out of gtasa until it broke but the only total conversion maps i can think off the top of my head are
>some resident evil one (small and WIP at the time) you play as RE4 Leon afaik
>vice city and liberty city, separate mod teams (both WIP at the time)
>GTA Underground (SA, LC, VC, Carcer city from manhunt, an original city map, heavily WIP and buggy last i tried it 4 yrs ago)
>GTA Russia(?) where its a pretty small commie block and just custom guns and ped voices really
>and the ones that port HD era LC and Los Santos from IV and V but also heavily WIP, buggy, and were taken down from GTAforums because “port forwarding be illegal n shiet”

>>724911461
> endless straight British suburbs
all GTAs have “boring” residential areas whats your point

>>724911506
There's a Dubai mod and some other mods that stuff like airports and islands or cities from small countries but I haven't paid attention to SA for a solid 8 or so years

>>724911710
there's atleast space for trees.

>>724908275 (OP)
Why bother with other settings when you can put the insane shit happening in america in the game 1:1 without needing to make a parody of anything, and you get what normalfags and the apes they worship want

At this point I think the games would work better outside of the US. GTAV has such a bloated weapon count, making it difficult to get your hands on a pistol would be kinda neat(like sleepy dogs)

>>724908275 (OP)
why do you even need it to be about somewhere outside america? same with fallout

I feel like there are a lot of americans in this thread. West Europe is basically US-lite these days

>>724912434
idk kinda a fun "what if", but if it doesn't work i wouldn't want to wait for it

>>724912407
>making it difficult to get your hands on a pistol would be kinda neat
It actually isn't that hard to get weapons in Europe or South America... specially South America. Everyone there carries a gun.

>>724908952
there's the upcoming Ananta. It's chinkslop but it looks fun

>>724912764
Set it in engerlund where they arrest you for carrying a letter opener(while being white)

I suppose the character could target children, though.

>>724913341
yay so instead of 27yo characters acting like millennial teenagers from 2007 in 2022 complaining about rent and outdated internet memes that were outdated by the time the game was in pre-production we can have aging millenials try write 90s or early 2000s characters that are the exact same except with more boilerplate 90s gangsta rap shoehorned in. oh btw these are meant to be hardened criminal shotcallers too btw.

>>724908952
>what baffles me the most is there is no “GTA clones” anymore
No new GTA to send trends
Budget for new GTA games too high to really make something similar
The whole open-world genre is now 20+ years old and no longer impressive on the idea alone

>>724911214
There isnt a mad max game that plays like sleeping dogs you liar

>>724909364
And it did a lot of GTA stuff kind of "alright-y". If Ubisoft were hellbent on getting a copy done, I think they would succeed massively.

>>724915540
could involve the backstory to a certain British character, huh? yeah.

>>724911013
if you set it in the past, you can easily have guns. prior to the 1900s England essentially had no restrictions on firearm ownership, and prior to the 1970s it was legal for private citizens to own and carry pistols in public even in central London. If you set it in like 1968, you can have characters running around WW2-surplus submachine guns and grenades and it wouldn't be too far out of the realm of reality.

>>724912824
>>724910431
I was moderately excited for ananta until they showed gameplay footage. You can barely interact with shit. Even bully on PS2 had more stuff to do. Completely missed the point. Idk why they advertised it as a gta adjacent game when it's nothing but. The car and gun physics killed the hype

>>724916415
>reality
fuck that. GTA 3D era was fully “action movie logic”. you can literally have GTA on a UK map, it doesnt need to be a realism simulator where you do taxes. GTA IV and V isnt “realistic” it’s just
more and more detailed. but at the end of the day you walk into a shop, buy an arsenal of weapons and shove em up your ass, drag a man equal or stronger than you our his car with the press of a button, and run over 50 niggers before “passing out” in a firey car crash and respawn at a hospital. and then “lore” and “story mission” wise, well i cant write a UK crime story for you, just rip off Guy Ritchie like how IV was basically HEAT mixed with some other movie tropes. VC literally has the Scarface mansion its so on the nose. SA is just Boys In The Hood and inspired by other notable 90s LA hood flicks

>>724916992
GTA 3D era was following American action movie trends, yes. because it was set in America. it's a satire of American culture, which is why guns are so freely available. They were mocking the 2nd Amendment, that was the point. Something set in England has to try and satirise British culture. They would have to pull from Bond, Brighton Rock, Get Carter, the Kray Twins, the Great Train Robbery the Troubles... stuff like that. otherwise the British setting just just cheap costumes and tourist trinkets.

>>724915929
I meant a hypothetical GTA clone with mad max combat and sleeping dogs everything else

>>724908275 (OP)
He's not wrong. American is where all the fun shit happened. Maybe Mexico as well. Every other country were just pack mules for American crimes.

>>724917581
Aren't there going to be missions based on South America or the Caribbean in GTA 6?

>>724909364
>How is Watch Dogs not a GTA clone?
Watch Dogs is modern-day Assassin's Creed, not GTA.

How boring. Id much rather see London or some other major European or East Asian city than boring ass New York again.
New York does not translate to video games well.

>>724908464
Someone has never seen cartel videos.

>>724909465
>Watch_ Dogs Legion

Yes. It was the fuckin location that caused that steaming pile to flop and NOTHING the fuck else.

>>724919887
im so fucking mad at Legion. at least in 1 and 2 you could somewhat actually “be a hacker” (sitting just outside of the location and ‘remoting in’ via the cameras to complete most missions stealthily). you’re almost discouraged from doing this in Legion and are forced to use the brawling or climbing mechanics. yeah great haxxoring bros, spouting off 2012 tumblr ‘computer nerd’ phrases while beating up paramilitaries as an old woman

>>724908275 (OP)
It actually would have worked elsewhere, damn yankees
