A Change of Setting
The renditions of real-life cities in GTA games thus far have been fantastic, with Miami, New York and LA having been given the zany, virtualized treatment to name just a few. The problem is, they’re always set in the modern-day.
While we’d certainly not complain about another modern-day setting for GTA VI, we’d also be pretty intrigued to see Rockstar’s social commentary on an ’80s or even make some predictions on a near future setting instead.
Going back to the ’80s or some other iconic decade long-gone would allow Rockstar to whimsically send us back to simpler times, where things weren’t so politically and socially volatile. Meanwhile, GTA VI providing a near future-take on the GTA formula would allow them to be a bit more experimental and zany, without losing its poignancy.
