GoldenJoel Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I'm curious what Rockstar is going to do with the change NY went through becaue of 9/11. I'm sure there's going to be jokes of paranoia and the war on terror, but do you think They'll mention the towers, or ground zero at all? Or should they just pretend it never happened at all. Obviously, the better would be to ignore it. Placing such material in a game is just asking for politicians to just jump all over it. Yet, Rockstar is known for pushing limits. What do you all think?

Nothing because LC is not NYC and a terrorist attack never affected the GTA world. It's already been confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenJoel Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 Ah, ok. A source if you could? And to keep the topic rolling, what if they did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not looking for the source because I don't really care but I'm 95% sure R* confirmed this a long tome ago. If they did have it it wouldn't bother me because I've seen Ground Zero many times so seeing a fictional 1 wouldn't change anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayt001 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I think they should have put them in, as a tribute. Afterall there's no planes, so you wouldn't get sicko's reenacting it. It would've been cool for base jumping too. Plus they looked nice on the skyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenJoel Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 Well, Liberty City is also trying to capture the feel of New York's vast culture, and you can't say it wasn't affected by 9/11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because GTA is a game about crime, and 9/11 was.... well, criminal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Criminals are terrorist so how would it speak out against terrorism? Because there's a difference between real-life terrorism and in-game terrorism. I just suppose it depends how you view GTA. I suppose the media does see it as a game that spreads evil-ism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ishouldntbehere Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) They said a big flat empty space wouldn't be fun to play in. So, they didn't make it. It's not because "oh noes! teh polytishuns be comming afer us!!!!" They didn't say "You know, a 9/11 tribute site in GTA would be really fun to play. but, that damn Congress will shoot it down! poo! " It wouldn't be fun to play. So there;s no reason to make it. also: "a tribute to 9/11 in a game like GTA? That is the most absurd thing I've ever heard " haha. Thank you for saying it exactly how it should be said. EDIT: Enough with the Ground Zero topics. there's a hundred of them and they all end the same way. LOCKED.

MA3LK Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 it will be highly unlikely that it would be included cause i guessing that it probably affected the people that work at NY Rockstar HQ. They might have know people who have passed away, even family members. And those topics are very sensitive to Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smate Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Terroists DO exist in the GTA universe. Hence why there is a radio station dedicated to America, and the war in Iraq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceedot Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 You have to remember, not everything will be just like New York. All buildings will not be there. There will be no ground zero either. Dan Houser said it is unimportant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ishouldntbehere Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Why is this even a topic of discussion? Is there anyone here who actually WANTS a ground zero 9/11 tribute area in Liberty? im being totally serious. ---> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
