Summary:
- The Grand Theft Auto series is inherently American, according to Dan Houser, the co-founder of Rockstar Games.
- Houser explains that the series requires the use of guns, which would not have fit well in a 3D GTA game set in London, as guns are less prevalent in the UK.
- The American setting and culture are integral to the core identity and gameplay of the Grand Theft Auto franchise, which is why Rockstar has not explored a 3D GTA game set outside of the United States.
