Grand Theft Auto: Sal's Rising

 

 

 

Storyline

Salvatore Leone was shot by Claude Speed in 2001. Everyone thought he was dead and that it was the end of the Leone family controling Liberty City. But, Salvatore wasn't dead, he went into a deep coma and was held at a heavily protected room in the Liberty City Staunton hospital. Now, after 5 years, in 2006, Salvatore finaly wakes up from the Coma, but some sindacco family hitman atempt to murder him at that time. Salvatore manages to fight back the hitmen and now, he is ready to bring the power to the Leone family, destroying all other rival gangs.

 

 

City

The city is the same old Liberty City, with its 3 islands: Staunton island, Portland island and Shoreside Vale. The year is 2006, so some things has changed in LC. The crimerate has increased by about 25% since 2001, Fort Staunton has been repaired, but not fully, so it's still a really poor neighbourhood. The whole city is controled by the Mafia, which is now only 1 gang, as the 3 mafia families have been conected into 1.

The Game Story

 

 

[CINEMATIC CUTSCENE]

 

Camera is flying over Liberty City, after some time the writing "LIBERTY CITY, 2006" appears on the middle of the screen.

 

Later, the camera stops over the Hospital in Staunton Island, camera fades to black.

 

Camera fades in, showing a hospital bed, where Salvatore Leone is lying, a computer nearby is doing a BEEP noise each 2 seconds. Camera moves away, showing the rest of the room. The whole room is empty, all beds are empty. A doctor walks in, looking at some documents. He stops near the bed and keeps reading the documents, looking at Sal sometimes. Camera shows Salvatore from an angle, near his hand. Some of the fingers on his hand sudenly starts moving, Salvatore wakes up. The doctor looks at Salvatore in amazement, then looks towards the door and shouts "He's waking up!". The door opens, two men with black suits, dark glasses and black gloves, obviously Leone hitmen, run in. Salvatore sits up in his bed, looks around.

 

Salvatore: "Where the f*ck am I? What's happening?"

 

Leone #1: "Mr. Leone, you finaly woke up!"

 

Salvatore: "What the f*ck are you talking about?"

 

Leone #2: "In 2001, you were shot by that guy... Claude was his name, I think. So, we though you were dead, but the doctors managed to save you, and you were in a deep coma."

 

Salvatore: "Holy sh*t... What year is now? How long have I been in this coma?"

 

Leone #1: "You've been in coma for 5 years, so the year is 2006 now."

 

Salvatore: "Goddamnit... Well, I gotta get up and start getting back in my post"

 

Salvatore starts getting up from his bed. The doctor steps closer to the bed.

 

Doctor: "No! You shouldn't be getting up now, we still have to do some tests to make sure you are ok"

 

Salvatore: "What? So, now some stupid doctor is gonna tell me what to do? f*ck you! I'm getting up..."

 

Salvatore gets out of his bed, stands next to it, wearing a hospital outfit.

 

Salvatore: "But first, I gotta get out of these damn rags..."

 

The door of the room sudenly opens, a hitman with a brown suit and a ties jumps in with a M4 and starts shooting at the people standing inside. Salvatore takes cover behind the bed and avoids getting hit. One Leone gets shot instantly, the second manages to take out his 9mm and shoots at the gunner, then falls down after getting shot. The bullet hits the gunner, he falls down. Another hitman jumps in with an Uzi and starts shooting. Salvatore grabs the pistol from the dead Leone, while crouched. As the 2nd gunner starts reloading, Sal jumps out and shoots him with the 9mm. The 2nd gunner falls down to the ground, Salvatore stands up fully, the camera fades out to black.

 

 

[Gameplay]

 

You are now controling Salvatore. You have the pistol, that Sal took in the cutscene.

 

Salvatore: "I gotta get out of this damned hospital"

 

Objective text: "Get out of the hospital"

 

The game moving information is displayed on the top left corner (the "To move the character around, use either the arrow keys or the blah blah blah and the rest of the crap)

 

The player runs out through the door in the room, an in-game cutscene starts.

 

 

[Game cutscene]

 

Salvatore runs into the hallway, sees a mafia hitman standing in the hallway.

 

Hitman: "Salvatore, you asshole, you're not getting out of this hospital alive!"

 

Salvatore: "f*ck you! I'll kill each one of you pigs!"

 

 

[Gameplay]

 

Information on the top right corner is displayed: "To aim at someone, press and hold the R1 button. To fire the gun, press Circle"

 

Player now has to aim and shoot the hitman. The hitman doesn't have a weapon, so taking him out is really easy.

 

After the hitman is dead, objective info is displayed, saying "Proceed towards the exit of the hospital"

 

Player now has to run along the corridors of the hospital, until he reaches the exit, where 2 hitmen are standing.

 

 

[Cinematic cutscene]

 

The 2 hitmen are talking, then they see Salvatore, turn towards him. Salvatore aims his pistol at them, try to shoot, but sees that his pistol is empty, then throws the gun away.

 

Hitman #1: "What the f*ck? Why aren't you dead already!?"

 

Hitman #1 points his gun at Salvatore, the other hitman puts his hand over the 1st hitman's gun.

 

Hitman #2: "That won't be nescesary. Come on, let's get this f*cker with our hands"

 

 

[Gameplay]

 

The two hitman run towards Salvatore, when fighting instructions are displayed on the top left corner.

 

Player has to beat up the 2 hitmen using fist-fighting. (if the player dies anywhere in the hospital, the whole mission is restarted from the point where the player got control of Sal for the first time)

 

After killing the hitmen, an in-game cutscene starts.

 

 

[Game cutscene]

 

Salvatore: "I need to get myself some normal clothes before getting out. I can't go on the streets in these rags!"

 

Salvatore looks towards a door nearby.

 

 

[Gameplay]

 

Objective info: "Find some normal clothes"

 

Player now has to run towards the room that Sal looked at in the cutscene.

 

When the player is in the room, another in-game cutscene starts.

 

 

[Game cutscene]

 

Salvatore walks towards some clothes, lying on a chair in the room the player had to enter, the camera fades to black.

 

When the camera fades back in, Salvatore is now wearing a brown leather jacket and some formal type brown pants (similar to the ones in the "casual" outfit in LCS) along with some brown shoes.

 

 

[Gameplay]

 

Objective info: "Get out of the hospital"

 

Player now has to run back to the hospital exit, but, as he exits the room, he sees 3 mafia hitman. 1 standing a bit further with a 9mm and 2 other ones running to the player un-armed.

 

Player has to beat up the 2 un-armed hitmen, then go and beat up the one with a pistol. As the hitman with the 9mm is dead, the player can take the gun.

 

A blue rotating marker appears near the hospital exit, the player has to step inside it.

 

 

 

 

 

Well, that's pretty much all for now, I'll keep writing more stuff, if anyone is interested in this.

[Oxidizer]

I like it!

 

It's written wickedly.

[simkas]

Alright, here's the next part. It's pretty much just one long cutscene, but it explains on what happened after Sal's death.

 

-------------------------------------------------------

 

[Gameplay]

 

When the player steps inside the marker, the camera fades out to black, then fades back in, where Sal is already standing outside the hospital, near the entrance.

 

A few brown Mafia rides are parked near the entrance, along with 2 mafia hitmen standing next to one of those. A lone black Mafia sentinel is parked a little further.

 

Objective information: "Kill the remaining hitmen"

 

The player now has to kill the two last hitmen, by either shooting them with the pistol or running next to them and beating them up.

 

Objective information: "Get inside the car"

 

A blue arrow appears over the Mafia sentinel.

 

The player now has to get in the car. As soon as the car entering animation starts, the camera fades to black.

 

 

[Cinematic cutscene]

 

Salvatore gets inside the Mafia sentinel and closes the car door after him. Then starts looking for something in the glove compartment, takes out a cellphone after some time. Sal quickly enters some number into the phone and puts in next to his ear.

 

Telephone: "BEEP... BEEP... BEEP... Hello? Who is this?"

 

Salvatore: "Joey? Is that you?"

 

Telephone: "I said, who the f*ck is this?"

 

Salvatore: "Joey?"

 

Telephone: "Pa? Is that you? But..."

 

Salvatore: "Yes, it's me. It's nice that you still remember your father."

 

Telephone: "But... I thought you were dead?"

 

Salvatore: "Well, as you can hear now, I'm not."

 

Telephone: "But, how...?"

 

Salvatore: "I'll tell you everything in person. Where are you staying now?"

 

Telephone: "Uh... I'll be waiting for you near that highest apartment building in Fort Staunton."

 

Salvatore: "Ok, I'll be there." (hangs up)

 

Camera fades to black.

 

 

[Gameplay]

 

Player is now sitting inside a black Mafia sentinel.

 

Objective information: "Drive to the highest building in Fort Staunton"

 

A blip on the map, in Fort Staunton, appears.

 

Player now has to drive to the blip and stop in a big blue marker in the place.

 

 

[Cinematic cutscene]

 

The Mafia sentinel stops near a high apartment building, Salvatore gets out of the car. Joey Leone runs out through the door, wearing a dirty white buttoned shirt and dirty blue jeans. Salvatore hugs (like a father) Joey.

 

Joey: "Pa, you're back... This is great... (starts walking towards the door of the building) Follow me!"

 

Salvatore: "You LIVE here???"

 

Salvatore and Joey walk through the door and walk up the stairs. Later, they stop near one apartment, Joey opens the door, Sal and Joey walk inside.

 

Salvatore: "Why the f*ck are you living in this sh*thole?"

 

Joey: "Well, I guess I should tell you what happened after you got shot. Take a seat."

 

Salvatore sits down on the couch in the middle of the room. Joey walks near the fridge, opens it, starts looking for something.

 

Joey: "You want something to drink?"

 

Salvatore: "Huh, hell yeah, I do! Get me some whiskey!"

 

Joey: "Hm... I think I still got some in here... Where is it... Ah, there it is!"

 

Joey takes out a half-empty bottle of whiskey, takes a glass and puts it on the table near the couch. Then takes a chair, puts it near the table and sits on it. Salvatore opens the whiskey bottle, pours some whiskey in the glass, drinks it.

 

Salvatore: "Ah... That is so goddamn refreshing... (puts the glass back on the table) So, what the hell happend after I got shot?"

 

Joey: "Well, after you got shot, I went to the mansion and sat there without sleep for about 3 days, thinking of what should I do. Then, Toni sudenly came into the mansion with a bunch of Sindaccos and threw me out of there, saying something like "I am controling the mafia now! I AM!". Later, he took control of our family mafia and..."

 

Salvatore: "Wait, Toni was there with the Sindaccos? He just betrayed the family like that?? That goddamn son of a bitch... I trusted him like a brother, he had saved my life loads of times and then he does this?! He was the last one I'd expect to stab me in the back..."

 

Joey: "Yes, I was really suprised... Anyways, later he somehow joined all the families together by force, killed a lot of our family mafiozos, he even got those damn Sicilians next to his side! His control went all over the city, he managed to pretty much destroy all other gangs over Liberty City, he was controling the whole town then. He got the mayor as one of his men, the whole police was bribed, they didn't do anything to any crime, so the whole city just become one big hellhole, hundreds of riots were going on, people getting robbed right on the streets..."

 

Salvatore: "sh*t, he really f*cked this whole town up really hard... That bastard!"

 

Joey: "Well, the town was worse than it is now, because the US goverment decided to do something about it and sent the US Marshals to get the city back up, but it all didn't go really well. Yeah, they managed to take care some of the crime, but Toni tried to get rid of them and he managed to get rid of about half of all them, so now half of the police is controled by Toni, while the other half is in Marshal control."

 

Salvatore: "I'll repeat, he really f*cked this town up..."

 

Joey: "Yeah, he did a real good job at making a mess of this city."

 

Salvatore: "This jsu proves how this city can't go well without me controling everything here. Well, now I'm back and I'm gonna take care of this goddamn city. We should start planning what should we do soon, but now, is there some place I could stay in for now?"

 

Joey: "Well, there's quite a lot of empty apartments in this building, you could stay in one of those"

 

Salvatore: "sh*t... I guess that's the only thing I can do... So, see you later, then."

 

Salvatore stands up and starts walking to the door.

 

Joey: "Pa, (walks to Sal and puts his hand on his shoulder) it's good to have you back..."

 

Salvatore: "It's good to be back too..."

 

Salvatore walks out of room and camera fades out to black.

 

 

[Gameplay]

 

MISSION COMPLETE!

 

You will now be standing outside Joey's apartment. You will have 2 blips on your map, one will be a savegame icon, which is inside that same building, in a empty, dirty apartment. The other is be a "J", inside the same building, next to the door to Joey's apartment. You can now exit the building and go ponyfarming, or go and do missions at the "J" blip.

 

-------------------------------------------------------

 

That's all for now and I would apreciate if I'd get some more posts here, because I don't know if it's good when just 1 person says something about it.

Edited April 13, 2007 by simkas

[simkas]

Sorry for double posting, but I would REALLY like to see some more posts, because I don't know if it is really good if only 1 person comments on it.

[Eminence]

It's not that it's bad, but myself I'm not a fan of the whole thing being mainly dialogue, like it is. Like, the way it's in a game-form, I just don't really think it's very good, I prefer actual stories written with description and whatnot. From what I can tell there are a lot of people who like reading this sort of thing though, so that's just my opinion.

 

One thing, though ... Salvatore? Would he really be able to physically do all of the things you do in GTA? I mean, he was the Don of the gang and like a guy who couldn't run round and beat people up, wasn't he? Just doesn't seem very practical or realistic that he wakes up from a coma and then shoots people up.

Well, as you can tell by looking at my profile, Salvatore is my favorite GTA character and I thought he should be a main character of something and do all that shooting/driving stuff.

[Eminence]

Yeah I guessed that.

 

Fair do's I guess, if it keeps ya entertained. As I was saying though it's not bad, just not my cup of tea really.
