Details about a forthcoming GTA are sketchy to say the least, and I for one have been eager for a new version since revisiting Rockstars world with Liberty City Stories. Surely It's time for a change - So how about Manchester?
Plenty of gun, drug and gang crime there so you can set the scene quite easily - the usual street urchin rising to the top on his patch before moving on to conquer the city. Or how about a Rave club owners right hand man sorting out drug problems and the like (The Ballad of Tony Wilson anyone?). Or could be an up and coming hoolie, going on away days with takes on United's Red Army or City's Guv'nors.
It's not as if it would be difficult to do - the games producers Rockstar are based in the UK and PS2 game The Getaway proved you can recreate British cities to perfect miniature scale (London was done really well for an inferior console - think what the xbox360 would do?). Plus Madchester has already been touched upon in GTA: San Andreas with the character Maccer (pictured below - voiced by Shaun Ryder) and his band 'The Gurning Chimps' visiting the U.S. If a GTA Manchester was to made, then base it in the late 80s / early 90s and he'd be a welcome addition to an rave / acid house missions. Plus think of the boss soundtrack the game would have.
So there's my opinion, fancy something different. Just hoping they're not following the PS1 and then PS2 route - Liberty City followed by Vice City and then San Andreas. Boring. Manchester is in the area.
