What is the point of TakeTwo using the same cities in the new games, Liberty City....San Andreas....You get me? Are they running into a wall or is it something else? I know they are changing it around and improving it but could they take it out of America? Into Europe perhaps?
They did have a little go at Europe when they released GTA: London. I didn`t think much of it though, and apparently neither did they. Also, with The Getaway coming out soon after Vice City, they would have known for many years that London was "taken" as The Getaway had been in development since the last Ice Age. Still, that does leave a lot of other big cities, but do the developers know as much about those places? I mean, half the fun of Vice City is that throughout the game there are jokes that are mostly funny because of the developer's knowledge of the country.
"But I`m not married..."
"You are now... to America"
That kind of stuff. Its easier to make jokes about your own country because you experience it everyday.
Also, as somebody else mentioned, the move to 3D has meant that you could be going across exactly the same streets and not know it. The game is completely different as a result, so Liberty City in GTA3 is nothing like Liberty City in previous games.

I felt that Liberty City and Vice City where so far removed from their GTA origin, you could only really tell they where the same by the name. The design of the cities is completely different to the design of the cities in the original game.

Maybe it's because it is a series of games, if you look at games like Kessen and Dynasty Warriors, it is always the same characters in each game, so GTA kind of follows the same line as that with it's Cities. So after San Andreas, maybe they will release a game set in London, as they did with the PS1, although I doubt they'll bother as it's already been done. Also, America is more fun than Europe.

Maybe it's because it is a series of games, if you look at games like Kessen and Dynasty Warriors, it is always the same characters in each game, so GTA kind of follows the same line as that with it's Cities. So after San Andreas, maybe they will release a game set in London, as they did with the PS1, although I doubt they'll bother as it's already been done. Also, America is more fun than Europe.
