trooper Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'm think he'll be awesome. I have a feeling he won't be a flamboyant gay like Florian. I have to hand it to R* for being daring enough to have a gay character and make him a main role, to video games that would almost b suicide. but that is what's great about R* so daring to push the limits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OT, the guy at gamepire, who said he`d seen BoGT has got to be lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban_legend_18 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 i was thinking earlier if he was going to be the sort of gay guy that thinks he knows everything about fashion and starts telling Luis that hes clothes aren't fashionable like his boyfriend does when he tells johnny something like tattoos went out last year or something like that.

SirPsychoSexy Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Good to see that a few people are in agreement with me. Also good to see a suprising lack of stupid Homophobia and Silly Gay Jokes. I think a lot of Gay Tony's Character was based off Peter Gatien and back in the day he was known as a shrewd businessman. I think the whole idea of being involved in the criminal underworld where he has to actually come face to face with potentially volatile criminals just unnerves him a bit (as it would a lot of people). The Fact that he needs a bodyguard though suggests that he has people wanting to kill him for some reason so he cant be all that cowardly. Read on wikipedia about that Gatien. Maybe it will all end with Tony getting deported too? Just a wild guess, but still... Guess we will find out in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says on the database that he's from the Mid West so I would say no he isnt. Gatien is featured in a Film Called "Party Monster" which centers around the "Club Kids" who were a group of flamboyant young adults that frequented clubs in New York every night of the week and took lots of drugs. The film ends when one of the Club Kids Michael Alig is convicted of Murdering his Drug Dealer and is sent to Prison. I can see that sort of thing featuring in TBOGT.

The N. Bellic Man Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) If Rockstar know New Yorks "street history" like I hope they do then there is a pretty good chance that Liberty Citys party scene is very much influenced by Club Kids and Peter Gatien etc. Many juicy stories and people if you know what I mean. For example Michael Alig and James St. James would fit right into GTA universe. Edited August 25, 2009 by The N. Bellic Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree man when I first heard of TBOGT involving the nightclub scene I thought of Party Monster straight away especially with Tony being Gay anall. No doubt this episode will have some colorful characters in it. And judging by the similarities in the profiles of Gatien and Gay Tony I have a feeling Rockstar are gonna base a few things on the Club Kids and the glory days of the nightclub scene in New York City.

The N. Bellic Man Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 And someone like this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Chambers_(killer) would be a nice addition. Maybe as a random character. By the way I don't think that he's nice, but the story is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i like coffee enemas Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Oh man, I think Gay Tony is going to be an excellent character. He'll be the yin to Luis' yang. The proverbial thorn in his side, as it were. I'm still a little reserved as to whether he'll screw Luis over or anything like that, though. I think it'll just be another Vic/Lance, Niko/Roman, Johnny/Ashley scenario where GT has his dirty little fingers in too many dirty little pies and Luis will be forced to pull him out of every sticky situation he finds himself in.

I thought it sound familiar then I realised I seen the story with slight differences in an episode of Law and Order haha. To be honest though I think the serial Killer thing has been done, quite well might I add with Eddie Low. And there was also the "Dine and Dash" killer in TLAD so there's no real need for another killer in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The N. Bellic Man Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I thought that it would be more like good (college) boy gone bad kinda way. I don't have any interest see Eddie Low part II or any of that cerial killer (pun intended) BS. Or maybe like Mel (IV random character), but during mission you find out what's the story of this guy. Anything, but done in innovative way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage1120 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) I don't get why people are getting their panties in a bunch now I remember when there was a time where bugs bunny can kiss any man he wanted and people would find it funny, where Yosemite Sam can shoot people with his revolvers as many times as possible and people wouldn't think twice. Rocky and Bullwinkle had masturbation jokes in it, tom and jerry had extreme cartoon violence(Imagine something more violent than happy tree friends only with no blood at all) I remember a Cow and Chicken episode that was all about lesbian bikers breaking into people's house and eating munching on their carpet(The innuendo is intentional, the entire episode is full of it) What I am saying is that the ESRB and FCC can go to freaking hell Because I can't say f*ck, If I saw f*ck, they will replace the "U" with a "*" Because the letter "U" is too controversial and hardxcore We should replace entire swear words with the letter "U" that will show them. /abnormal lengthy rant from carnage Edited August 26, 2009 by Carnage1120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mafioso86 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I feel like I don't know the character well enough to make any judgments on him yet. Based on what we saw he seemed like an alright guy in Diamonds are a Girl's best friend and a little bit annoying in Diamonds in the Rough, but that's not really enough to go on. I feel like he could be hilarious and make me laugh a lot, kinda like Bernie. I just hope they don't camp it up to much because he could be annoying... comic relief characters have gone wrong in the past (see Jar Jar Binks).

I think the world has finally grown some maturity. The Lost and Damned presented us with full frontal cock-'n'-balls, and all that became of it was a parents' group mentioning that the game had full frontal nudity. No attempts to ban. No public outcry from some senator who acted all personally hurt-in-the-butt about it. I don't think even Jack Thompson took any notice of it.

Yeah true enough we dont know much about him other than what we've seen on the Internet or in the two cutscenes he was in but that can also be said for Luis and the other Protagonists before their games came out. I have a feeling that although we play as Luis, Tony is kinda gonna be the main character in this one kinda like the way Salvatore dominated most of the story in Liberty City Stories. The game is named after him for gods sake so I think that tells us alot about his prominence in the story. It'll be Tony's story but told through the eyes of his bodyguard Luis F.
