So far we've gotten: LA, New York, Miami, and kinda Las Vegas and San Francisco.

But I struggle to think of any others.

Chicago is a cool city, don't get me wrong, but aesthetically it's kinda boring for a video game setting. I think Boston is too old to set a game where driving in a major mechanic, who wants to drive through those streets? Not Bostonians based on the ones I've met. And DC, nah fuck that!

Only ones I could maybe think of are New Orleans and Philadelphia. Honestly GTA Pittsburgh would be a risky but potentially interesting choice.

Idk, anyone want to play GTA Cincinnati?

Kind of sounds like the Fargo TV series.

Maybe a GTA couldn't pull it off, but honestly.a game where you play as a small town gangster striving to be king of your rural area sounds like a fun idea. Maybe you get too big for your britches and piss off some serious criminals from the big city (Minneapolis).

Something between Bully and GTA... There is a lot of comedy potential there I think!

I do think Rockstar would benefit from more often doing scaled-down projects like Bully.
