GTA 6: 10 Reasons Vice City Is The Perfect Location
3. The Empire Business
The influx of drug-centred crime dramas hitting streaming services and their respective successes makes a tale told in the substance-surrounded Vice City an enticing one.
Shows like Narcos, Breaking Bad, Power and even the recent Dopesick on Disney+ all exhibit themes of narcotics and the dramatic events that unfold with regards to their distribution, seizure or side effects.
The city that made its debut in the 2002 Grand Theft Auto title is so plagued by the drug trade, and placing the inevitable new GTA protagonist amongst its neon-infused districts could provoke a story in-keeping with such stellar shows.
Navigating your way through a city that feels more like an albatross around the player's neck rather than a boundless playground could give the series an exciting new flavour, and separate it even more from the crazy antics of Saints Row.
Grant Theft Auto is a series where the player always feels in control. Taking that away using the overbearing drug trade that we were introduced to the first time around would bring the open world and the story closer than ever before; resolving an issue that has plagued the developer for years.
