What year should it be based in?

[Kitsune Inferno 22]

If it was 2002-2007, we could also see what happened to the GSF, CJ, everybody from SA. We could also see what happened to Donald Love. Maybe he ate himself.

Lol, I doubt it. He may have got kidnapped, or found out a plan to kill him so he ran off.

[Mike356 2]

2006

Actually, the late 90's would be kind of cool. Like 1999 for instance, I wouldn't want it to be based on 2006. It'd ruin the whole entire game.

[Airashii 3]

^How would it ruin the game?

Anyway, I think a present day (2006/7) game would be quite good aswell, It was present day with GTAIII and so it's quite likely with the jump to next-gen.

If Grand Theft Auto IV was to take place in 2007, then Marty's old dog food factory in Liberty City will definitely belong to Carl Johnson, who might either keep it as a dog food factory or use it something else (as long as its kept industrial, as per the Liberty City zoning laws). One of the final mission would be to kill CJ off because he is supposed to die before the year 2013 (that's why you don't see him in Grand Theft Auto 2).

hey why not the present time or maybe early 2002 or 2005

why 70's or 80's or 90's we already had that in gta3 and gtasa

It all depends on where the game is based. If London then it should definetly be 60's(Just think Great Train Robbery, Italian Job, Krays etc). Current time could be ok but not if its based in another American city. Not much would of changed since LC but if it was based in Europe or somewhere else then it wouldn't matter that much.

I dont really see how they could add that much with using the current time period again. Its just not about throwing some generic guy into a city and letting you run wild. They use a lot of films/music/tv of the time and other references to put the games together.

I think they should make one of present day canada. Peferably Ontario(thats where i live). But during the winter. I'm sure rockstar could think of a pretty cool storyline. I think I speak for alot of People when I say I would like to see a snowmachine. or they could possibly have Season changes..............

The 1970's would be so gay and so would the future. It's probably going to be based on the present

[Rashon. 10]

I think it'll take place in present-day.

[Bear 9]

Im happy with anything between 80s-present day. nothing in the future as thats silly

[Red_91 1]

skittle i agree its very hard to get good music people will actually like in the radios of the game and other stuff though i would probably think they will do it in london 1999

[DareDevilX 0]

I hope it will be present time.Future or past would ruin whole game.

[Red_91 1]

of all the gta sites ive been on and all the rumours ive heard. I would be probably 80% certain that it would be between 2001-2006

[DareDevilX 0]

Well that would be ok...

[ThePunisher 0]

The game will be based on THE YEAR 2007. It the real currect date.

[blnk182fan18 0]

i hope it takes place in 2007, and maybe there will be really awsome up to date cars, weapons and trends. that would be really really cool.

[Samiam2 0]

I'd like it to be based after GTA2 (2013)

But if it were 2007 we wont be able to play as Cluade

But if it were the future, not much of the futuristic shit, that would ruin the game.

[Dark Lord 0]

Yeah enough 80's and 90's.

Present Year based would rock

[tommy_8_ball 0]

Theres a big problem with setting it in the future....

...what music are you gonna put in it?

I reckon it should be set against the backdrop of the Y2k celebrations.

[ThePunisher 0]

Don't even go that far. based on the future???? Nah stay back on 2007.

[Gycu 1]

i think it would be awsome if the game played in the future so they could add something like:

aliens, flying cars, plasma guns, light sabers.

you have forgoten a small thing SOUNDTRACK!!!!What soundtrack will have?Think before saying something,you cant put music that didn`t appeared yet.

Should be in 2007 ,my opinion

[Yellowcard 0]

Present. There are no era's left and I can guarantee that they aren't going to make a 60's game. Back to GTA 3, back to the future.

[SonOfLiberty 1]

GTA4 will probably be set in 2007, but I think the next one should be in the 70s, as it would probably be a prequel to GTA4.
