Rockstar's Urban Focus: A Critical Look
Dan Houser's remarks highlight a consistent theme in the Grand Theft Auto series: the focus on U.S. cities. While the original GTA ventured to London, it hasn't returned since, raising questions about narrative scope and creativity. This choice reflects both cultural relevance and a familiarity that appeals to players. - The series has effectively critiqued American culture, yet it risks stagnation by ignoring other global contexts. - Future entries could benefit from a more diverse geographical exploration. Ultimately, this perspective underscores the need for innovation in a series that has defined the open-world genre.
