Okay, i have an idea for a remake, it's been in my head for a while now and is starting to bug me, so i thought i'd finally let it out and post it here
The Story:Okay, instead of eight playable characters (Travis, Kat, Nikki, Divine, Bubba, Troy, Kivlov and Ulrika), you are Claude! Okay, that might be a shock to the system but i've thought of a reason why Claude cannot speak. The game in set in Liberty City in 1997, where young Claude is going to a meet spot to finalise a deal. The deal is being made in a dark allyway (typical, eh) late at night, with very few people about. Claude is discussing the deal (yes, he can speak, for now) when he is suddenly grabbed and dragged into an empty warehouse where he is tied up, get's his TONGUE sliced right out and is knocked unconsious (we don't see any of this, all adds to the story). Later on, Claudes parter comes to look for him when he finds him lying on the floor. His partner helps him up and realises that he's got his tongue cut out and that he can no longer speak. The games storyline then focuses on Claude and his partner seeking for the person(s) who did this to Claude. And get their sweet,sweet revenge
Liberty City should be based on New York in 1997 (without the World Trade Centre for obvious reasons), i don't think R* should bother basing it over 3 cities (abit too much). I think the title should be
Grand Theft Auto: 1997
I know my wording isn't the best but i hope you can make sense of it all

What do you think?
