My Dream Games: Grand Theft Auto McReary Diaries

The following games I have awesome ideas at helping in development will be listed here.

Grand Theft Auto: McReary Diaries
This would be an expansion pack/semi-sequal to Grand Theft Auto V the same way Grand Theft Auto Vice City and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas were to Grand Theft Auto III. McReary Diaries would use the same engine as Grand Theft Auto V and be for 8th generation consoles(PC, Steambox, Wii U, Playstation 4, Xbox 720, Project Shield). The movements, graphics, and existing content would still remain intact.

However, there will be additions to this including new weapons, cars, abilities, and new locations. Not only would it be set in Los Santos as it was in Grand Theft Auto V but San Fierro, Las Venturas and surrounding countrysides such as Badlands, Tierra Robada, and Bone County will be available to unlock as you progress through the story. Plus, there would be an ability to purchase property and customize cribs.

The story would be that Packie McReary left Liberty City for San Andreas in 2009 and has just learned his older brother Gerald has escaped from Alderney State Prison and fled to Los Santos to start a new life. Packie also meets his 18 year old niece(Gerald's daughter from a previous marriage) named Sarah who meets her father and paternal uncle for the first time in nearly 11 years. This game you would be able to play ALL three of these McRearys. It would take place in 2015 San Andreas and at first include all of Los Santos featured in Grand Theft Auto V, then advance to new counties and cities. Packie, Gerald, and Sara begin new lives together as head council of the McReary Mafia of San Andreas. All three will be playable and will have some missions separately and together.

Mission structure would follow suit of Grand Theft Auto V and though I can't give out too many predictions given GTA V hasn't been released yet I can say that missions would be centered in a Godfather style theme such as rackets, crime family story missions, fighting rival gangs, and doing other side activities to make money. Players should be able to purchase properties as any playable character and be able to store and customize vehicles. The McReary Mob would start off at Packie's Apartment and then advance to a mansion on Rockford Hills, next to GTA V protagonist Michael's Mansion. This mansion would be the McReary Mob headquarters with more properties being available to purchase. As you advance to other areas outside of Los Santos area, you will receive another default hideout and ability to purchase more property.

I don't want to reveal any spoilers though because it would make this game too predictable and less fun but the story cycle would start in Los Santos and surrounding areas with eventually moving to San Fierro area, then Las Venturas area, and back again with the possiblity of Los Puentos(San Diego) being added as DLC. Adding a parody of the Baja peninsula would be great for content as it could be called Baja Sandreas. Tierra Robada could be the northernmost part of San Andreas and be a parody of far Northern California and far Southern Oregon. Bone County would be like Sierra Nevada and deserts in western Nevada. Red, Flint, and Whetstone would be somewhere between San Joaquin Valley, San Bernardino, Napa Valley, central Pacific California, and Silicon Valley. I would want to use Los Santos, San Fierro, and Las Venturas as cities while using Red County, Flint County, Whetstone, Tierra Robada, and Bone County as non urban areas with smaller cities and towns.

Grand Theft Auto V's Los Santos is going to be bigger than environments of Grand Theft Auto's IV and San Andreas and Red Dead Redemption combined. Imagine what a McReary Diaries environment would be like given more cities and areas were included. Real interstates will be used in Grand Theft Auto V and could also be used for transportation. Los Angeles is large by area but San Francisco and Las Vegas aren't as large though. If i'm going to make San Andreas as a whole, I would need to focus on real geography in making environments as to make Los Santos stay to the Southwest, San Fierro to the Pacific North, and Las Venturas to the Southeast. First though, where would I place my mid areas of Red County, Flint County, Whetstone, Tierra Robada, and Bone County. In Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, Red, Flint, and Whetstone were countrysides between Los Santos and San Fierro. Red County was North of Los Santos and South of Las Venturas, Flint County was West of Los Santos and East of San Fierro, and Whetstone was South of San Fierro. Tierra Robada and Bone County were desert lands between San Fierro and Las Venturas. Tierra Robada did have a bayside town to it in emulating Marin County(which is North of San Francisco) while being North and East of San Fierro. Bone County was more like desert Nevada and Arizona being East of Las Venturas.

Grand Theft Auto V also uses real highways now. Interstate 5 and Highway 101 for examples could connect Los Santos and San Fierro. Interstates 10 and 15 would connect Los Santos to Las Venturas with there being a fork somewhere along Interstate 10 connecting it with 15. 10 and 15 would connect through a T-Shape and a Four Leaf Clover like shape. For the record, Interstate 5 does not directly connect to San Francisco but Highway 101 does. Interstate 80 starts at US 101 and I could make it stop when it intersects Highway 95. Highway 95 would go from there to Las Venturas and connect to Interstate 15. Interstate 5 would connect with interstate 80 and in GTA games I would make interstate 5 go further north and end with Interstate 101 ending and having a smaller highway connect both Highway 101 and Interstate 5 in order to make some Bayside town along U.S. 101.

Red County would be between Los Santos and Las Venturas, representing San Joaquin Valley by being the host county of Interstate 5 and 15. Red County would resemble Kern Valley near San Bernardino. Flint County would be midway near San Joaquin Valley to the Pacific Coast and would host middle of Interstate 5 and Highway 101. Whetstone would be North of Flint County while being Northwest of Red County and resemble Silicon Valley and Napa Valley. Tierra Robada will be North and East of San Fierro and include North Interstate 5 and highway 101 with a merging road between these two highways. Interstate 80 will begin in Tierra Robada and end up being Highway 95 in Bone County. Tierra Robada will be like farther North California and Sierra Nevada connecting Northeast Whetstone. I might switch up Flint County and Whetstone though. However, I want to make GTA V era's San Andreas bigger than any open world before it. Other cities such as San Bernardino, Sacramento, Reno, and Santa Cruz would exist but have different names and be considered smaller cities wheres GTA San Andreas towns Angel Pine, Fort Carson, El Quebrados, Las Barrancas, Las Payasadas, Las Brujas ghost town, Palomino Creek, Blueberry, Montgomery and Dillimore would remain small towns. Angel Pine would be located in Whetstone; Palamino Creek, Dillmore, Montgomery, and Blueberry would be located in Red County; Bayside, El Quebrados, Las Barrancas in Tierra Robada; Fort Carson, Las Payasadas in Bone County. Some of this is subject to change however since I haven't seen the final map of Grand Theft Auto V's Los Santos. The major cities would have to resemble their parodied counterparts just as Liberty City did with New York City in Grand Theft Auto V and now Los Santos with Los Angeles in Grand Theft Auto V.

I've also heard Grand Theft Auto V will have "Crew" options for multiplayers via Rockstar's Social Club. Gameplay features should be construed to give players more freedom and side missions such as the vigilante, taxi, and ambulance missions of Grand theft Auto III. McReary Diaries would run as owning your own gang and including racketeering abilities to raise revenue and weaken rival gangs. Dating should also be included but each character will have a different set of available dates. Niko Bellic had Michelle, Kate McReary, Carmen Ortiz, Kiki Jenkins, and Alex Chilton. Luis Fernandez Lopez had several more girlfriends. Packie and Gerry will have their own different girlfirends that the player can date when character is selected but Sara will have boyfriends since she is a female. Lots more side missions such as drug deals, gang warfare, racing, trucker, and other side quests will be available and top those of Saints Row, giving the player the longest experience in any video game. Idea here is to include all the awesome activities from ALL Grand Theft Auto games starting with III.

Transportation is enhanced in Grand Theft Auto V with not only cool vehicles like cars, bikes, boats, and helicopters but airplanes and submarines. Airports in McReary diaries would be construed to fly from one major city to another since the open world of GTA V era San Andreas will feel mindblowingly big. Taxis, Buses, Limousines, Trains, Monorails, Ferries, and now High Speed Rails will be able to take your player to other locations without having to move them yourself. It would be almost instantaneous. Grand Theft Auto V will have the most mindblowing choices of transportation and McReary diaries with numerous highways will also give you a roadtrip feel that you kind of feel in truck simulation games like 18 Wheels of Steel American Long Haul.

Characters should include new ones and ones from Grand Theft Auto IV, TLAD, TBoGT, and Grand Theft Auto V. The protagonists include two from IV and one new one. All three of these playable protagonists will be related. Other characters could include ones from Grand Theft Auto V such as Michael, Trevor Phillips, Franklin, Ron, Brad, Amanda, Jimmy, and Tracy. Some could have a minor role and others could be in an alliance with you. Maureen McReary could make some appearences as she is the mother of Packie and Gerry and the paternal grandmother of Sara. Could Niko Bellic also make some appearence? What about Anna Faustin moving to Las Venturas as a Go-Go Girl to make more money and live more luxuriously? Maybe I could add that Illyana Faustin died under mysterious circumstances and Anna left for Las Venturas. Could I also add Luis Fernando Lopez and Tony Prince as casino owners in Las Venturas? Could Gracie Ancelotti have moved closer to Luis and Gay Tony or even married Luis? The two other living McRearys Maureen and Francis stay in Liberty City as Derrick and Kate are deceased during and after the events of Grand Theft Auto IV. I can't say much here because I want to be more familiar with Grand Theft Auto V's story and gameplay.

The overall premise here is the Irish Mob in San Andreas led by Packie McReary must go to the top of the chain to conquer Los Santos and Packie is joined by Gerry and Sara McReary. San Andreas should not be made to be able to circumnavigate the area by boat as San Andreas in real life is south central to north central California and west to southeast Nevada.
