Comment on We'll probably never see a Grand Theft Auto set in a futuristic city like GTA 2 because the team "hated it": "People didn’t connect with the game or its city"

  If your game relies heavily on cultural details, you probably shouldn’t make something outside of the culture you know.

        Rockstar North are the studio that evolved out of DMA design, and the studio was responsible for the series since GTA 1. Every game has been developed in its majority in ediburgh.

        It’s not the rest of the staff’s fault that the houser brothers moved to the states.

  The guy they’re interviewing seems so detached from reality, the article links to another with more from the same guy, he’s quoted saying that “it doesn’t make sense to go to some left field location for novelty” specifically in regards to Tokyo, then goes on to say “it’s too easy to do what we know again” which sounds negative? But then follows that up with “nobody is[…]not going to play gta 6 because it’s in vice city”

  It’s a really odd take tbh.

  Japan’s extremely low crime rate
