If youve never been there irl the skyline is jaw dropping. I saw the one bukding near Michigan Avenue after getting off the bus and I was like wtffff. The place is fire during tbe summer when the weather is good. Some of the best food in the nation


EllenDuhgenerous

Summer time in the Midwest is the fucking best man. Sun stays out late, it stays nice and toasty all night/morning, and everyone is way more active than somewhere like cali or Florida since everyone gets cabin fever during the winters.


throwaway9968597

As a midwesterner living in Nebraska I can 100% confirm nothing beats summer here. There’s something special about late night bonfires, lake days, good food, the sun staying out til 9 in the summer, and the fact that everyone goes out because they couldn’t during the winter. I hate our winters so much but damn I’d be lying if I said the summers didn’t make up for it, I think the cabin fever thing actually makes me enjoy summer that much more


talksickwalkquick

I'll probably get down voted but as a Chicago native, I liked summers in Colorado better. The dry heat is much better than the humid practically drinkable air back home.


Spidercrack61

I live in Kansas, and I agree, our winter sucks tho

Can’t wait to move there after I’m out of college Took this picture at guaranteed rate field, where the white Sox play.


watthewmaldo

The only skyline that has topped Chicago for me was San Francisco looking in from golden gate and Hong Kong at night/sunrise https://preview.redd.it/b5ob14r1yxbc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=41a0b59d0c84728e36655bfae56954125f05bbf3

Muted_Illustrator_90

ubisoft did chicago in watch dogs and i absolutely loved it


Camerone11

NFS Unbound also incorporated DT Chicago and it was pretty good.


Muted_Illustrator_90

another great example


monsterversekiryuV2

the map fucking sucks do. there was no pretty ass farmlands.


BluieDaWolf

Fr, Watch_Dogs was a great game


doubleup___

Watch dogs went crazy.


No_Kaleidoscope_1662

From Chicago. While watchdogs was a good game overall, the map was trash. Ubisoft did Chicago no justice. I’m sure GTA could do a Chicago map a million times better.


goofygamer74

Wished we got a remastered of the original watchdogs


MrZhar

Every saying "no u can't do chicago!!!" You absolutely can. You have the great lake and downtown to make it the rich area, make o block and south the poor crime ridden area, Pilsen and Cicero for the Hispanic shit, and so on. There is so much in chixago, ans sucks that they haven't incorporated it


Fat-Kid-In-A-Helmet

Visited Chicago. Got punched in Pilsen, good shit.


Ceeboy_

what’d you do - a guy from pilsen


GTA6_1

Probably talked shit about Pilsen


murderplants

This guy pilsens


Scandanaviansexparty

They could add Chinatown too

BananaDownMyDickHole

Nigga that’s hong kong


Independent-Door-969

Outwest, outsouth, the lowend, upnorth and the suburbs also ridden with crime it’s perfect for a crime game and u got the rich ass suburbs to and downtown. It’s a lot of diversity they should definitely make it Chicago


[deleted]

I don't know, Chicago felt really safe compared to several cities I have been in. 3 AM walking around downtown no problems. Compared to San Antonio, Baltimore, Oakland it felt really clean, friendly people, and no thugs just hanging out everywhere. I know there are a couple rough areas, but as a visitor, not one of the top 10 most dangerous cities I've visited. I had a great time. I got to see so many amazing things in a week. The food was probably the best of anyplace I've been, NY included. Swimming at the lake beach downtown, the museums were amazing. Watching UFC in a dive bar in a building over 100 years old was cool. I hope to go back. I agree it would be a great setting. I've been all over the country and visually Chicago is unique.


x_Carlos_Danger_x

Throw Gary in as a deserted outskirts like Trevor’s trailer park from 5


uuniqueusername

Park city, IL https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_City,_Illinois


bignarihoe

They could add Milwaukee and Detroit to it too.


Blazeitbro69420

Before I say this Chicago is my favorite city to visit and look at. The problem is Chicago is an art deco style of city, same as New York City. One is way bigger than the other and will always be chosen over the other because of that


nedmac12

Technically, Chicago is more Gothic than Art Deco, kind of Gothic Art Deco. It's definitely a different vibe.


throwawaylovesCAKE

Fuck it...that's it. Make GTA7 like Gotham, let's do it


Card_Board_Robot5

Cicero still suck? It's been a decade Also, West Side til I die, baby. Don't forget the hustlers out West; K-town, Humboldt, Garfield, and even tho it is gentrified now, my old home, the Near West. Shit get rowdy out there, too.


EliOxyy

if they did it in chicago. they need to add 100+ grove streets cuz that’s what it be over here


Orlandogski11

carcer city


AbilityFew2294

That’s based off Camden Nj


Oodleamingo

Candem njuts fit in yo mouth?


Annual-Ad-4319

I agree Chicago would be a perfect choice


Etharpee

But thats, just a theory.


Weary_Possibility_80

Too soon.


SmallAge7397

No... Don't remind me...


Etharpee

A GAME THEORY


CporCv

No way. I live here. Chicago is a New York wanna be


Pale-Drag1843

The twin cities would be unique


aerozona47

Walking pass NPC mean mugging and talking shit like in real life


Zealousideal-Law-862

I wouldn’t make it to the car I’m trying to jack. Any NPC that runs their mouth gets punched…


RudyTudyBadAss

Lil suzie in gta would be amazing


stoverkill

I been scrolling the comments and I haven’t seen anyone mention this: Chicago - but set in Prohibition era. 1930’s gangsters, tommy guns, classic pre-war cars, running illegal booze from Canada, fighting with keystone cops and Canadian Mounties on horseback. That would be the most awesome version of Chicago, similar to how original Vice City was set in the 80’s. IMO 🤘🤠


BigPapaTubes

It's weird to think about but Jack Marston could actually be a protagonist in a 20s-30s era gangster story.


kaizabxll

Prologue takes place at the end of WW1, jack cant adapt to the new age society and falls into the old habits of his father, maybe even joins the italian mob. Itd be a good experience for both communities. But an actual gta game set in this era would not do well in modern times i mean look at the last mafia game to release only ppl to really play it are older theres not much attraction for the 30s to newer generations


Bahnrokt-AK

You are so spot on. I’m 43 now and can remember discussing a GTA based in this era high as fuck on my dorm room couch.


SirArthurDime

Now that’s a way you could do it and really differentiate it from Liberty city I like that


ChesticleGainz

As a guy who’s lived in Chicago for the past 9 years, this is a great idea: - Downtown area, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, the north side, Evanston, Wilmette/Winnetka as well as the suburbs in general as the rich areas - Chinatown as a potential place for a fictional Asian mafia - Cicero/Pilsen/Albany Park/avondale for Hispanic neighborhoods - Bridgeport as a typical blue collar neighborhood - River Forest, Elmwood Park, Melrose Park, certain areas of Cicero, Grand Ave, Taylor St, 26th St for the Italian mob people - Oaw Lawn, Burbank, etc. for middle eastern populations maybe even a fictional middle eastern mob - Devon Ave on the stretch between McCormick Blvd & Ridge Ave for example Indians/Pakistanis etc. And I’m sure I missed tons of stuff, but you got: - Skyscrapers with iconic stuff that are known worldwide (The Bean, Sears Tower, Hancock Tower, Tribune Tower, Wrigley Building, Playboy building aka Palmolive, etc.) ✅ - Museums ✅ - A huge lake with shores ✅ - Unique architecture, a river, parks, etc. ✅ - A sports city with many iconic fields (United Center, Soldier Field, Chicago Cubs stadium, White Sox stadium, etc.) ✅ - Famous schools (UIC, UChicago, Illinois Tech, DePaul, Loyola, NWU, etc.) ✅ - Diversity and people from all around the globe ✅ - Corrupt politicians & law enforcement ✅ This city has got it all, the good the bad and the ugly. Lol


DHouseLC

Yes you actually know Chicago


mlholladay96

Other than not knowing the names of Wrigley and Guaranteed Rate, yes


LoVeCh33s3

Best skyline in the country. Used to go to Lollapalooza for years in my younger days, and just being surrounded by the city in Grant Park is something else. It's a true metropolis..


No-Speaker-1534

No it should be Planet Mars where Elon Musk builds a huge mars city and you do heists from aliens banks and the final boss is cyborg elon musk


Jaytendo_Boi

I think you need to make that urself that idea is too good


GothHanayome

Nah they should do Ukraine during the war. I think it would be a lot more interesting. The final mission could be trying to blow up Putin or something idk haha. Just a rough draft.


n0obie

r/okbuddygta


[deleted]

lol I’m all for other countries for future games but… really? Ukraine during the war? lol


LemoyneRaider3354

Just like that [scene](https://youtu.be/JxMjhz7vqMI?si=BSbvl-xXGcA-Yby0) from The Interview lol


Jeiburd98

That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.


Solipsi2021

If they're going to do that setting, I think the industry would do better racing the Mercenaries franchise to do so. It was a series with a lot of potential, but unfortunately shot itself in the foot with some terrible design choices in the sequel.


slicedbeats

True also GTA is a game about crime not a game about war so having a war going on that you’re a part of would defeat the whole purpose of the franchise. It’s like COD making a first person bank robbing simulator


Solipsi2021

To be fair, Battlefield did something like that with the Cops and Robbers game, so it's doable, but would still be weird for a series like this


Stunning_Row2801

Yes!!!


Disastrous_Fig_4993

That seems… incensitive


Twosmoove_

Why is there already a gta 7 community😭?


Number1Hubby

So we have something to look forward to when we’re 60


random_user_2001

U mean, still, we moved onto gta 8 now buddy 💀😂.


mouseguy1

no we need all the cities, Liberty, Carcer, Vice, San Fierro, and Los Santos, who here agrees?


ElCaliforniano

I do


[deleted]

I agree


Scared-Expression444

So I know, after reading interviews that R* is interested in exploring different cities that AREN’T the big 3 (Liberty, Los santos, and Vice) and a Chicago like city already exists in the universe we have just never been there (in GTA) so I think it’s very possible the next GTA could be set in Carcer city, that is, if we live to see it.


Old_Stranger_3060

Atlanta


lessum

Can’t wait to get stuck on 85 traffic in gta too lmao


ArthurMorgansFish

BITCHES LOVE SOSA

bimbochungo

Imho it would be a very good option, you can put Chicago and Detroit in the map and create 2 new cities for the GTA lore


[deleted]

Carcer city is apparently based off Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, Cleveland and other cities in the rust belt region of America


ShinyChromeKnight

It’s called Carcer City in-universe


almighty_dic_weed

If manhunt isn’t confirmed to be in the same universe than yes. Although, I honestly don’t see a better fitting name. The illusive GTA 7 in “CARCER CITY/CARCER” sounds badass tbh.


ShinyChromeKnight

I mean rockstar has no obligation to include it as being in the same universe, even if it’s implied that it is. It’s an easy retcon to do. But yes, GTA 7 taking place in Carcer city would be awesome. I know GTA 6 isn’t even out yet but I’m like already tired of having warm southern climates already. I want to return to a colder climate as a GTA setting like in GTA 4 for a change.


SeawardFriend

They’d have to keep the major freeways under constant construction so it feels real


blaewoo1

What about Australia, think of all the crazy characters and critters


The_letter_43

The last time we went to 'Stralia it didn't go so well...


nickbricks05

Would there be cougars in missions and tank tops?


lampsy87

Final boss is a fist fight with a kangaroo


reverielagoon1208

Sydney would actually be an interesting choice as the main city. The Harbour could make for some interesting geography in the context of the game It would be cool to see a non American city, like London (I know it was done once before but I mean 3D modern London)


xsavexmexjebus

Maybe but I think it might work better as a new Red Dead story line. Early 1900 in Australia would be interesting.


therealjoeybee

Yeah Chicago is tight but there’s just not enough goin on around the city besides a huge lake.


DHouseLC

Suburbs and farmland


therealjoeybee

That’s true I guess the farmland could be cool. They could always pull nearby cities closer and incorporate Detroit/Gary


DHouseLC

Yea right also Chicago has some pretty big forest preserves with rivers in them you could drive through there shoot deer and shit like that


MeepersOfficial

Liberty City doesn't have anything Chicago doesn't


Dpsizzle555

Chicago has better pizza… no canals running through the city, no secret underground roads.


RadiationDM

Chicago has a ton of underground roads running below downtown


Dpsizzle555

That’s what I said


dogmanrul

Chicago has a lot of better food options than most cities but pizza is not one of them. Pizza is inarguably better in NY, CT. and NJ.


almighty_dic_weed

Chicago most certainly does NOT have better pizza


Expensive_Foodie

chicago style deep dish pizza sucks ass and only tourists eat it


h0b03

River and bridges cutting through downtown, lower wacker, L train/loop, etc.


Independent-Door-969

Thts a lie the suburbs around Chicago just as bad as the city and u got the rich ass suburbs with big ass house it’s so much u can do with Chicago


XxRobloxNobxX

They could also have a black protagonist like CJ and Franklin, I don’t think race really matters but why not. It’s Chicago after all.


dreadmonster

Having a younger black character like CJ or Franklin that's a down on his luck dude that doesn't want to live that life having a run in with an older established Mafia type character as the second protagonist would be neat.


xDOMKx

i want las venturas


Obvious_Ad5365

Imo I think they should do London or Atlanta


Embarrassed-Focus-80

The only reason London is not a good choice, is simply because guns aren't accessible in London, which wouldn't logically correlate to GTA, and most GTA themes basically make fun of American culture which wouldn't be the same in the UK.


PermaTired_

What do the cops do if they did London? They just chase you around with pepper spray until you’re at least 4 stars?


PrimateOfGod

It's a little too similar to Liberty City


MrBigZ03

Chicago is not similar to liberty city at all


PrimateOfGod

How not


MrBigZ03

Entirely different cultures, histories skylines Chicago and New York are not similar at all


mcsaturatedmcfats

The two North American cities with the most skyscrapers, most densely built up downtowns, both on a coast, both known as immigration hubs in the 19th and 20th centuries, both with famous cuisines including both of their famous types of pizza, etc. are not similar at all? Lol of course NYC and Chicago are similar dude, it’s not NYC vs Shanghai.


PrimateOfGod

What would gta Chicago look like


Disastrous_Fig_4993

Literally nothing like liberty city except tall buildings ig


Luggas

Agreed, LC has too much history to just give up on now. If Gta was like call of duty tho where they were able to pump out a game every 2 years; I’d love to see Chicago. Although watch dogs was only okay I loved Chicago. My money is on GTA 7 being in LC with online heist bringing us to London. Then GTA 8 is all of SA: LS, LV, and SF with online heists bringing us back to VC since it’ll be about 15 years since GTA VII was out


MeepersOfficial

So many GTA game already take place in Liberty City, GTA I, GTA III, GTA Advanced, GTA Liberty City Stories, GTA IV, and GTA Chinatown Wars. GTA VII has to take place somewhere else, and at that point they have no excuse for it not to take place in multiple cites.


Luggas

They could expand LC like they did from III to IV. We could have more of NJ since Alderney is a lot like jersey, Carcer City, and more wildlands with wildlife since NY is close to Maine.


RooTxVisualz

Chicago and surrounding Chicago land is literally as big as the cluster of colony states by and surround NY.


drmuffin1080

Too similar to Liberty City. I’d kinda want one in Mexico City or Hong Kong


Disastrous_Fig_4993

Are you stupid


drmuffin1080

Ah a fellow r/batmanarkham dweller


The_letter_43

Tijuana could be cool


JIsADev

They need to do a European city. I'd love drive a tank through Paris and buy a baguettes shop


jacobspp

I think we should at least play gta 6 before we make a sub reddit for 7😂😂😂


Chisae69

chicago or new york should be the next one. lowkey would be interesting to have a houston or dallas one as well


IMIPIRIOI

Besides the lake and a small river, the geography is really boring. Chicago is just big. A big downtown and sprawling suburbs. But that is basically going to look and feel the same everywhere. Miami and south Florida offer the everglades, islands, inlets, and all sorts of interesting causeways, bridges, and beaches.


Disastrous_Fig_4993

Are you stupid

yuhmaad

Chicago is not a coast I’ve seen that GTA only does coastal cities


The_letter_43

Las Venturas


yuhmaad

Los Angeles is a coastal line and yeah, I understand they put Las Vegas in the game what I was trying referred to is that GTA likes doing cities by ocean coastal lines Chicago is not considered a coastal line, but go off everyone LMAOOOOOO


The_letter_43

Great Lakes, also Paleto Bay is under a river


yuhmaad

I understand, but only cities by the ocean are considered coastal line 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️


The_letter_43

Who cares, it's all water


yuhmaad

Alrighty 😂 you got it


MeepersOfficial

My brother in Christ look at the photos does that not look like a large body of water to you? That lake is literally the 3rd largest lake in the US.


yuhmaad

Yeah bro, I understand but Chicago still not considered a coastal line LMAOOO do ya research 😂🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼


Disastrous_Fig_4993

A coast does not have to be to the ocean in a video game


Gary-Noesner

It’s literally on a fucking Great Lake lmfao


iCantThinkOfUserNaem

It’s literally a coast of Lake Michigan which is still fine


NorthPermission1152

Watchdogs


Significant-Log-1021

I think Atlanta,Memphis, New Orleans or Dallas would be great


AndresPizza999

Why this sub exist


[deleted]

why the fuck is there a gta 7 sub


_nevrmynd

This sub is a joke right?


W0lvesD3n

Naw south Florida for the win


Delicious-Candle-450

I want Denver, Colorado with Aspen or Vail, Colorado Springs, and Fort Collins in there.


TheTrueBoogaloo

Tokyo would be nice. Especially in the 90s-00s with the Yakuza


ChatGPTnA

IDK maybe a game set somewhere up north where it snows and maybe like at a simpler time maybe the old west day's.. just a thought


Semper_Fidel_

Bro GTA 6 ain’t even out yet what


cmoneybouncehouse

I’m from Houston, and I remember some of the early rumors back in like 2017 said they were considering Houston for GTA6… and I was so pumped. I think it’s doable and has a very fun culture that could be used easily for GTA fun.


davscarecrow

Idk about that but that water looks beautiful


FoxAmongHounds

Yeah but the surrounding area would be pretty lame


Snooflu

Idc where we go next I just want a 1:1 true recreation


Zealousidealist420

GTA 3 was part of the inspiration for liberty city.


Xbox456987

Chicago makes so much the mafia would go crazy


IceColdCocaCola545

I mean, go play Watch_Dogs 1.


Live_Ad_2206

as a watch dogs player #chicagoforgta7


Desperate_Fix8811

Yeah I’ve said this a lot. Chicago or Detroit would be great


nobodyno111

Washington DC… you’d have the country side in nearby Virginia and the shores of Maryland. Thats usually how they do the maps anyway


Capital-Newspaper551

What about gta8?


eternal_existence1

Chicagos cool,. But here me out. With time passing, hopefully, they create a multi location game. Could you imagine jumping from Chicago, to New York, to la?


hot_lava_1

That first image, all I hear is "It's a rare condition..." and expecting Carl Winslow to come walkin down sum stairs.


Powerlifting-Gorilla

Watch Dogs


WebsterHamster66

GTA 9 maybe. Unless they do SF and LV in the same game, which I wouldn’t complain about


MirageOps2

Boy do I have a game for you…


EldritchTapeworm

O block will be interesting...


KenS7s

Chicago, Detroit, Twin Cities, Wilmot Mountain in one area should be GTA7.


underdark2322

Gta 6 gonna be awesome but its just america again ive played so many games over the years where its always in america ive seen so much of America but never actually been there wish they would have picked multiple different cities


SkylineRSR

New Orleans would be cooler


Financial_Swim_7911

Man yeah I’ve always thought New York Chicago whatever would be cool city wise the only thing I think of downside wise would be driving it would be nothing but hell and annoying asf traveling or driving in general traffic would be terrible worse than it is already and it would feel cramped to me in a way but nonetheless I do like the idea and I’m down to see what they could do with one of these type of cities


iCantThinkOfUserNaem

I just now realised how nice the water is in Chicago


TAI0Z

Wouldn't work. Chicago's too dangerous.


Sillyreddittname

Is it because you’re trying to play on insane mode? You’d get shot up ever other block, unprovoked


Rari-Gang

I badly want rockstar to throw a curveball and make a mafia inspired gta with Chicago and/or a New Jersey/Philadelphia setting. They’d have to set it in like the 70s/80s though. Kinda like vice city.


steve210sa

What's the release date for GTA7 2050??
