This game is set in Florida. It’s pretty evergreen. Especially given the political climate for the past 8 years

… Untill Florida gets absolutely wiped out by a combo of its housing market and tourism economy simultaneously eating shit (this is currently occuring), and then also gets slammed by a, oh i dunno, a series of near record breaking hurricanes … in a record breaking short amount of time, and then can’t rebuild because FEMA either doesn’t exist or is massively underfunded.

Oh and way more people will die, and there will be way more property damage than there otherwise would be… becauase all the agencies and funding that went into tracking hurricanes just got cut to almoat nothing.

Its been … what, over a decade, between GTA V and 6’s planned releaae date?

I’d say that chances are actually quite good that within 10 years after 2026, Florida becomes essentially a mostly destroyed disaster zone, with maybe a few parts of semi-civilization… like a swampy version of the first Mad Max movie.

(For reference, GTA V is based on an amalgamation of LA, San Fran, San Diego, out into the sticks… oh and while we are in thr GTA V to GTA VI gap, a huge chunk of LA got burned to the ground, yay climate change!)

(To me, the challenge of GTA VI would be… how do you even fucking do parody anymore? The country has gone batshit insane during the game’s development, I will be amazed if they actually manage to work in the biting and underhanded social commentary that previous GTA games had… because it would be essentially impossible. My guess is it’ll have some parody and satire, but nowhere near as much as 4 or 5… and the story will basically just be about some cool badasses who are cool and badass and are getting their bag however they can because YOLO)

Disney world and Maralago?

Holy shit, I didn’t think of mar-a-fatso. I seriously hope you can storm that place.

That’s not necessary. The top secret documents for the government heist are probably located in an unlocked toilet building next to the golf course.

I hope they have at least two cities like Miami (beaches and organized crime) and Orlando (Disney and big business). Could be cool to have a three like SA to add in either Daytona (racing and rednecks) or Tampa (ghetto Miami).

All I know about Tampa is a bunch of the early death metal bands are from there so I’m all for that!
