GTA IV "Borrowing" from Scarface Game?

Recommended Posts

After reading about the police system, said to myself, "Thats sound like The Scarface Game" So I put it in and I played it and its an exact rip from the game.

 

Also, with mission redos from your phone also is a steal from The Scarface Game, with that you could redo any mission ingame from the start menu.

 

Do you think it was kind of cheap for R* to borrow these ideas?

Well after a while with so many games eventually all the ideas will be taken up leaving you to have to look at other games for ideas. Seeing as they are minor it doesnt bother me much.

If your talking about the old GTA games... NO cause GTA was the first best ever Sandbox type game. Saints Row is only the best next-gen sandbox game untill GTA IV comes out.

Scarface had a unique system, that's why the guys at Rockstar have taken it and probably improved on it. And that's acceptable. After all, they can do what they like since they arguably started it all. You cannot expect them to create unique, upon unique ideas and not take hints from other games. Although i would put my house on it that you will See features in GtaIV that will be amazing and unique.

naa i still think if gta wasn't created scarface would be more like Stranglehold's level system.. but cool moves is replaced with cursing. turn.gif

 

it makes my blood boil when kids/people preffer saints row to gta just because it's on a higher platform. if they want a "gangsta" themed game thay should play SA, since it kicks way more ass than SR tounge2.gif (yes i have played both games)

I know how those people feel. I still consider GTA as the best sandbox game ever but Saints Row takes it for being the best next-gen game.(Untill GTA IV comes out.)

A lot of people misunderstood this statement. He was simply stating that Rockstar have used ideas from Saints row. For example the GPS system. Although I'm sure Rockstar would have thought of this themselves anyway. He never said he preferred Saints row to Gta.

Isn't the targeting system very similar too? And that's a good thing because Scarface has one of the best third person targeting systems I've ever seen, if not the best.

Alot of games have something in common... thats common sense

 

the police system comes from the warriors

 

EDIT

I hated the way you selected weapons in Saints Row, i hope GTA 4 sticks with the 'GTA' way and still uses the trigger buttons to scroll through them one by one.

here! here!

 

Saints Row2 is in the making, why even bother?

 

you can garuantee those rockstar boys will take the mic out of saints row like they did with true crime (true grime) even though i thought the first true crime game was decent but GTA ownes all i guess...no i know!

Exactly, its foolish to say something like that. SR took 75% of R*'s humor (or tried to) and %80 of the game in general. Anyway I don't really see the connection between Scarface and GTA IV. Sure the poilce system may seem to be the same but Scarface probably isnt even the first to do that. Also redoing missions from the phone and redoing missions from the start menu are not the same. A LOT of other games let you redo missions from the start menu....so what?

 

@secksyjames: wow dude, how old are you? Vice city was pretty much a revamped version of the scarface movie. If you watched the movie then played the game you'd see. The music, the clothes, the people (kent rosenberg)

Pfft, I don't give a f*ck about it.

 

I mean come on, think of all the games that stole from and tried to copy GTA games. It's nothing IMO. R* has a knack for tacking things and making it 10 times better than it needs to be anyway.

And listen, at least Saints Row comes SECOUND to GTA.

 

Oh and sooner or later there will be a game that will surpass GTA by a lot. Considering that R* stops making GTA games.

Technically Scarface borrowed most of its elements from GTA  turn.gif

How can it not. GTA VC was pretty much based on Scarface. And the scarface game would have no choice but to resemble GTA. confused.gif

 

@Greatest Thing Alive: What the hell is that?
