Former Rockstar technical director Obbe Vermeij reckons we won't be seeing a futuristic GTA game anytime soon, given how much some developers hated making GTA 2.
While there wasn't much series convention to blow open back then, GTA 2 took a drastic turn from its predecessor and subsequent titles by taking things into the far-flung future of 2013 – or possibly 1999; Rockstar has contradicted itself on this – and incorporated futuristic elements into the world of Anywhere City. So while you'll still be going around and doing the typical vehicular crimes and shooting guns, you may find an electro gun among your arsenal.
