GTA 6 Wishlist: 10 Biggest Items We Most Want To See

9. A Modern Setting With Flashbacks

Think of this as an extension to that previous point. Assuming Rockstar do come up with something new and original for the next GTA's location, they would be wise to bask in the glory of that aforementioned nostalgia; just a little bit. Fan service is popular in this generation of so many remakes, so it's perhaps essential.

GTA 6 could be set in modern times but allow players the chance to experience flashbacks to the 1970s, 80s and 90s throughout the core story. That, if handled correctly and not as an excuse to pad out the story with meaningless filler, would be wonderful.

It might also give Rockstar the chance to flex their retro muscles like Nintendo did for Super Mario Odyssey on Switch. The side-scrolling 8-bit stages set within more powerful 3D ones were a cute reminder of the series' past there. Why not try something similar in GTA 6?

Retro is cool.
