There was reportedly a time way back when in which Rockstar was strongly considering making a GTA 3 sequel set in Tokyo, and frankly, now I feel robbed of just such a game.
“He had just released GTA 3 back then and they were doing a lot of travel to Tokyo back then to promote the game,” TimeExtension’s source said. “It seemed like a cool, interesting city to do it in, but at the end of the day, it just came down to logistics. Getting the research team out there long enough to map the city and just the cultural satire in terms of what could possibly work in a fitting narrative way in that city. Making those things connect was a little tough and we thought it was just cooler to stick with the cities that were introduced in Grand Theft Auto 1.”
Meanwhile, we haveGTA 6on the way to take us back to the sun-soaked streets of Vice City.
