Hi, I'm new to this forum and this is my first post. Everyone's been discussing wether the next game will take place in a European city, or in another USA city, etc... Personally, I feel that the only city in America to hold as high an interest as New York, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas, both in terms of international awareness and of what R* can do within that setting, is Washington D.C.
But I am also aware that there are some of you who'd prefer this game to have an international city as backdrop, like London, Mexico City, Tokyo, etc... And that's how I spent most of an afternoon coming up with this personal concept for GTA 4 - it's mostly Tomb Raider style, in that the main character gets to travel all around the world doing "jobs" for several colorful characters.
Along the way, the main character would stop by Capitol City (D.C.), Texico City, Pokyo, Blundon, Amusterdam, and Rio de Fevereiro. Just imagine the vastness of comical situations and social satyre that R* could pull off with this! The next GTA will surely come out on Next Gen consoles, so being only about one third bigger than GTASA won't be much of a problem... PS3 can handle that. Plus, R* could go nuts when making all the funny satyre for us fans to enjoy...! It'd be the ultimate satyrical adventure, they'd have their hands full with this one...
Plus, there's just something about playing as an international hired gun (like, James Bond or Alias-style) that makes my inner self grin widely.

I might come up with maps for these cities someday. They'd all be connected by airports, of course, with limited mobility out of each of them like in GTA 3 and GTAVC... Now I urge you people to comment on this, especially folks living in each of these cities (D.C., Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, London, Amsterdam and Tokyo). I might expand on this concept more with my ideas for vehicles, missions, storyline, etc...
But I need opinions, people!
