For det meste har Grand Theft Auto-spillene udspillet sig i USA. Der har været enkelte afstikkere til andre dele af verden, men serien har stort set altid holdt sig til amerikansk grund— og der er en grund til det.
I et interview med Lex Friedman har Rockstar-medstifter Dan Houser forklaret, hvorfor serien ikke har taget et skridt tilbage til sine rødder og vendt tilbage til London eller en anden storby uden for USA.
"We made a little thing in London 26 years ago, GTA London, for the top-down one for the PS1. That was pretty cute and fun. There was so much Americana inherent in the IP, it would be really hard to make it work in London or anywhere else. You needed guns, you needed these larger-than-life characters. The game was so much about America, possibly from an outsider's perspective. That was so much about what the series was that it wouldn't really have worked in the same way elsewhere."
Tror du, at GTA kunne fungere i et andet land — og i så fald, hvilken by eller region ville du helst se som ramme for et nyt Grand Theft Auto-spil?
