How come we have never seen a game that takes place in a current day city?Its always the past or the future
>richest country in the world>empty houses/apartments vastly outnumber homeless>1% of the population has over 60% of the wealth>still has a homeless crisisto answer your question I think homelessness is completely avoided in modern vidya because everyone subconsciously feels complicit and simply doesn't want to acknowledge this crisis.
>>740002050every numbered GTA takes place in present day. that being said GTA6 will already look retro to gen alphas by the time it comes out.

>>740002384name 3 games that arent GTA that take place in a modern day city
I hate that every city in the world is like that. I did a urotrip by train and every city is completely dilapidated, which is aparently something that doesn' bother at all the droves of 20something """"digital nomad""""" bougie crowd that fills all the upmarket bars and restaurants (outside of which paki hobos sleep on the curb)

>>740002419SpidermanArkham city and Arkham knightSeveral Watchdogs games
>>740002636None of those play anything like GTA and you'd know that if you actually played video games
>>740002230Its not a crisis. Its a symptom of how well society is actually doing. If people can survive sleeping out on the street in droves it proves there is an excess of resources for them to continue existing. They all somehow have a tent. They've got shopping carts full of belongings. They're all fed and drunk and high as a kite. They choose to live that way. Even when handed all the keys to live "normally" they choose to be out there

>>740002050Because unlike real life, fiction needs to be believable. No one would believe that people willingly live in cities similar to those found in the modern day.
