tdog07029 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 (edited) - it shud be based on boston and hav a irish district, italian district, black district, chinese district and an old colonial part of town with narrow cobblestone streets and gas lamps - snow has to be included. snow shud accumulate and cover parked cars and every once in a while there shud be a blizzard and the roads will be real icy, but b4 the storm hits there wud be a weather forecast on the radio to let you know. there shud also be a cheat so u can hav snow whenever u want. - rockstar shud make the map on the coast instead of always being islands seperated and surrounded by water. that means there cud be much bigger cities and towns in between, instead of usless ocean. they cud also make the lanscape alot more diverse, like being able to hav very high and low elevations, like having a huge mountain range and a mini grand canyon, instead of the map being pretty much flat. and instead of using endless miles of ocean they cud have endless amounts of forests and mountain ranges or deserts and salt flats where u cud drive really fast vehicles like a dodge tomahawk (motorcycle with a viper engine thats supose to go over 300mph) or rocket cars ect. - a big waterfall that you can drive boats off - you see peds in the woods for a hike or skiing on the trails - better off-road trails with mud - thicker woods - cars that are so fast you can barely drive them such as rocket cars, dragsters ect - bigger unique jumps like a draw bridge or a huge downhill road with a ramp at the end that goes off a cliff - tanks with tracks instead of wheels and dont blow up cars on contact, also when the army comes after you they fire the cannon - special vehicles that release tacs or a oil slick behind it so you can escape from cops - a car museum that has all the famous cars like the general lee, 007 cars, and the bat mobile - different years and models for the original cars like a 67' banshee or a 81' cheetah ect - snowmobiles, skis, snowboards and ways to modify cars for snow like trucks with chains on the tires, snow plows, dirtbikes with spiked tires - movie theaters/ drive-ins that show your last unique jump - if a cars locked you should be able to break the door off or smash the window and unlock it - a more realistic 1st person view when youre driving so you can see the steering wheel, speedometer and the rear view mirrors - more ways to make your car faster and handle better - you can change views when your in the slo-mo for unique jumps - you can listen to music when not in a car like scarface - be able to climb ladders fences ect - bums on the street beg for money, sum play instruments or sing - they shud hav loan sharks and if you dont pay them back collectors will come and kill you over and over until you pay them back. they shud hav more ways to get even tho, like having ppl wait in your safehouse and ambush you after you completed a mission - muggers, so if youre walking around at night somone could pop out of an alley and knock you out and rob you, then when you wake up youd hav to go kill them down to get it back - new ways to spend money such as special cars that you can only buy - being able to rob people for money instead of having to kill them - new ways to make money like selling drugs but if you sell to an undercover cop you will get ambushed by cops and a wanted level depending on what and how much you sold to them - other gangs shudnt be able to see you if your just driving by. I hate it when i am driving thru gang territory and sumhow a gang member sense's im driving past him and he will turn around and start shooting at me. - people hang out on the sidewalks and listen to radios - more of an rpg like zelda, you talk to a ped they giv u useful info or certain peds giv u missions - being able to carry around multiple vehicles on the packer or in the back of a 18 wheeler - being able to get drunk like in the phil cassidy mission in vice city - adrenaline pill works while driving - being able to take hostages - when you hear a cop talking about a crime on the police radio you shud be able to go where they were talking about and see whats happening - being able to adjust the cop strictness - other cops join you on police missions - new police sidemissions such as dea, fbi, swat, undercover here's a few pics of boston http://www.clinko.com/music/boston/pics/ and who needs london when there's colonial boston http://www.postcardsandtrains.com/Boston_old_street.jpg whadaya think?

They have no reasons to put a waterfall and f***ing grand canyon in a Boston based city. Maybe so, but what about the countryside and desert, in SA seperated by a body of water? Last time I checked the Nevada desert and Californian countryside, wasn't across the water from each other. As he said, it's a game and it doesn't need to be perfect. Anyway a GTA city based on Boston, would be way better then London. IMO Edited December 19, 2006 by MiamiViceCity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Well then why is there a huge bridge in San Fierro based off of San Fransisco's "Golden Gate Bridge"? It wouldnt really be a San Fransisco based city with out it, so I think they needed to add bodies of water in between. Since they did it to one city they had to split the other as well to make it fit. So there is still a reason to have those bodies of water. Why should there be a waterfall and a grand canyon in a Boston based city? I gave you the reasons why those certain things were in SA...so tell me why those things should be geographically correctly in a Boston based city?

Harwood Butcher Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 oh yeah and I want the possiblity to grow trees and chop them down to make paper...I'M NOT RETARDED!!! If they make a completely different State or even Country that isnt based off of any place but carries numerous traits that could be found all over the world then ok I dont give a shit. But if the location is supposed to be or obviously based off of another location then I dont think it should have other traits that are completely off theme. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SIDE NOTE: Why do people constatly call me a kid? kids are in between the ages of 5-12 and teenagers are between the ages of 13-(17)<<<me. leaving me less then one year away from being an adult. Seeing as I figured everybody knew that, why am I being considered a kid if I'm almost an adult? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Because he's probably a kid himself and is trying to make himself feel bigger. It's compensation. And dude, how is pointless land any different than pointless water? There would probably STILL be a limit on how far you can go. And if not, you could just drive for 15 minutes, and then it would take you forever to get back. Either way it looks unrealistic, so what exactly would you want to accomplish with that idea? If you want the grand canyon and shit like that, have the areas those are from in there. Vice City didn't have a desert, and Libert City didn't have a long nice beach. The traits in the maps are pulled from the places they are based on. That is just common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 The idea of the grand canyon is stupid as its so far away from Boston, what would be the point? It would be like having the game set in London and having a Spinx there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstarrem Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I live in the Boston area and there is the Charles River... there aren't big waterfalls in it, but Rockstar could use their imagination. The Grand Canyon is stupid in my oppinion... wtf? This is Boston dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty Overlord Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 (edited) Having lived in the Boston area for a few years before moving, I must say that I would not buy a GTA game based on Boston. Boston (the city) is so small that an interpretation of it would be as big as portland. Also, all the GTA cities have landmarks that help you connect it to the city. Liberty City had a mini Empire State building. Vice City has Miami Beach. San Andreas has the Hollywood sign, Golden Gate Bridge, and 50 thousand Casinos. Boston really doesn't have anything special about it. No one can see a picture in a textbook and say "Thats Boston". But they can do it to NYC, LA, Miami, SF, and Vegas, which have all been used because people can connect the city with it's real life counterpart, which would be nearly impossible in Boston, unless they put redsox posters just about everywhere. And for the record, that pretty bridge with the purple lights is not a landmark. I can't even count the number of cities which have bridges like that. Also considering how that bridge finished construction like yesterday, no one outside of Boston would know what the heck it is. In fact, I bet half the people reading this don't know what Bridge im talking about. Edited December 22, 2006 by Liberty Overlord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Inferno Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) Because he's probably a kid himself and is trying to make himself feel bigger. It's compensation. Kinda like when people call other people gay or claim that others' genitalia is smaller compared to their own? Ok, has anybody thought up of a city other than Los Angeles, San Fransico, NYC, etc. that can be instantly recognized? Maybe Memphis? Nah, I can only remember a big-ass glass pyramid thing there. A city based off of Boston with a waterfall and the Grand Canyon? Learn your f***ing geography! That's all I have to say.

QuickDeath Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Thats not a bad idea to have a waterfall in gta, but in Boston? Maybe there are no big and recognizable American cities left for gta use. Even if there was a gta Boston it wouldn't be just one city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty Overlord Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Maybe there are no big and recognizable American cities left for gta use. Even if there was a gta Boston it wouldn't be just one city. Well theres two more recognizable cities left, chicago and DC. After listening to the radios for the whole game, it sounds like Carcer city is the Washington DC of GTA. And Chicago, while less recognizable than DC, has that tower, I forgot what it was called. But if San Fierro was able to get half its feel from the pointy tower, which is a real tower in San Fransisco, than Chicago can do it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickDeath Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I think its likely that gta4 wont be situated in US, maybe in UK,Japan or whatever and it will have more than one city so a new question arises - will all cities be from one country? I mean does UK have at least 3 recognizable cities? I dont think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty Overlord Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) I mean does UK have at least 3 recognizable cities? I dont think so. You're right. In fact, LA is bigger than the entire UK...but then again LA is the biggest city in the world America, or it was the last time I checked.

QuickDeath Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 gta4 based on for example Tokyo (Japan), London (UK), Moscow (Russia) + countryside, deserts and stuff. Weird ? Hell yeah!! Lets stick to one country or at least one world region. But on the other hand maybe some cultural differences might be refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty Overlord Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 If it is international, maybe the whole airport thing in SA was a test, and R* is going to make travelling between reigons KOTOR based, and have us use the airports to travel to other reigons. This, of course, will abandon the idea of countryside, or restrict countryside to the outside of one city, and not drivable to other cities.

It could be interesting, but the islands should be big and each should have countryside, but the player should be able to go to other islands (for example from tokyo to moscow) not only through airport but also by private plane or heli or ferry.

Liberty Overlord Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Are 5 or 6 countryside's necessary? There can be 2 cities per "reigon" and those cities could have countryside inbetween them. To travel to different "reigons" you can airport it, or do a Sant Mark's Bistro styled manuel flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
