Several community discussions have emerged regarding the setting of GTA 6, which is confirmed to take place in Vice City. Some players are expressing their opinions on alternative locations that they believe would have been better suited for the game. According to Polygon, a recent article lists '10 wild places for GTA 6 that would've been better than Vice City.'
The article suggests that while Vice City has its charm, the series could benefit from a more distinct identity not tied to familiar locales. Some community members argue that a change of setting could introduce new dynamics and narratives, moving away from the traditional big city crime tales.
Ideas floated in the community include futuristic settings, such as a lunar colony, where players could engage in unique heists and adventures. This concept aligns with the series' penchant for social critique, allowing for a fresh take on crime in a sci-fi environment. Other suggestions point to small-town America, where the social pressures and economic struggles could provide a compelling backdrop for a gritty narrative.
The discussions emphasize that while Vice City has been revisited multiple times in the franchise, exploring new environments could rejuvenate the series and offer players a different perspective on crime and society.
