I know it's kindof random, but what do you guys think about playing with the hobo that stole the diamonds in IV?

If the next setting is going to be Vice City , then , we should expect that hobo who stole the diamonds to play a major or at least a secondary role in the game . Notice that this is based on the assumption that the next Grand Theft Auto is going to take place in the story of IV era .

Playing as a Hobo? Noooo Way.

 

I wouldn't mind playing a corupt cop, a thug, a gangster, or a businessman who finally goes nuts!

 

Those are the types of GTA games that I would like. biggrin.gif

I don't think that it will work. How shall it fit into the whole gangster scenario?

The Notorious MOB

If it was Jerry Kapowitz (the guy who got the diamonds) then he would be quite wealthy and technically wouldn't be a hobo anymore. A former hobo? Sure why not.

Rags to riches to the extreme, huh? Niko and Roman were poor enough at the start of the story, I wouldn't want to go any further than that.

love that 'grindhouse' b movie ridicularity.

 

 

 

GTA:Grindhouse would be amazing

 

 

 

If done well a hobo could be great ............. maybe a disgraced military man

what would be the point of being a hobo?

What wouldn't be the point? It's something new to the Gta Series. It'd I'm not saying that your going to have to steal shopping carts instead, just start off as a Hobo. Maybe the guy lost his diamonds and is out to find it again.

Exactly biggrin.gif

It doesn't really need to be Gangster persay. As in III, you could start off working for the mafia until your a Mademan or recover the diamonds.

 

 

  well done for posting spoilers

 

Sooooo sorry confused.gif

I forgot that this could be considered a spoiler, I'll edit it out right away. smile.gif

Thought of a new story that could be used.

 

So after the events of IV and Ballad of Gay Tony, the hobo takes the diamonds over to Vice City, but when arrived he is ambushed by what is thought to be Ken Rosenburg, who is now in the criminal underworld controlling half of the City.

 

It is your job as a fellow Hobo and a Patriot to get these diamonds back and open up your Gun Shop.

 

On your way of doing so you run into Vice's famous motorcycle gangs, Cuban Gangs even more Hobos.

 

You guys think this could work?

I think it's silly.

 

We need a Latino protagonist, or something foreign. R* has done the black gangster and the white gangster. I dunno... But I think a homeless person is silly.

Well, that depends would you still consider Jerry Kapowitz (AKA the hobo who found the diamonds) a hobo? He is a millionaire now but he used to be a hobo I would not mind playing him at all especially because he now lives in Vice City.

I doubt that the next Grand Theft Auto will take place in another world that has a different story , which is " V " . I think that the story of " IV " was written with the next Grand Theft Auto in mind , which will set in the same world of " IV " , and it will continue the story of diamonds . That hobo , who appeared at the final cutscene of the Ballad of Gay Tony , was shown in the cutscene for a reason in mind . In addition to that , he had his own short story in WEAZEL news , which is about him going to Vice City to open a gun shop . Also , let's not forget when Packie appeared in the credits , going inside the airport while he's carrying a bag of money . All these cutscenes were shown for a reason , and that reason is that they are indications from the story writers that both of them , the hobo and Packie will be coming back in the next Grand Theft Auto .

So it's settled then.

 

We're gonna be hobos!!! biggrin.gifinlove.gif

Notice that I don't say that the hobo is going to be the protagonist , but I am speculating that he will have his own part of the next Grand Theft Auto story . Even if he's going to be the protagonist , he's not going to be hobo anymore . He's rich now with the diamonds that worth millions .

What would be our safehouse? And what self respecting criminal works with a hobo?

True, he is now rich he will probably have a mansion on Starfish Island if it is around in the new rendition of Vice City. I imagine that we will probably see Packie again and if V is in Vice City we will probably even do some mission for the both of them. Not to mention Jerry Kapowitz (The former Hobo) said he was going to open a gun shop/liquor store so I imagine that he would probably be able to hook you up with some good high tech weaponry which would be very cool. Well needless to say I look forward to working for him but not playing as him though I am not opposed to the idea.

Wasn't Claude pretty much homeless early in GTA III?

 

His place was just a garage with a mattress in it.

Also, there were speculations about Darkel the hobo in GTA III (who is believed to be cut out of game cos of 9/11) and he was supposed to be a mission giver, rampage-esque missions to be exact.

And Claude, who has more than enough self-respect was going to work for him. And for the safehouse thing, we could sleep under bridges,or maybe dark alleys.

I personally don't care about the protag or about the place (would prefer VC though) or weapon customization much. I believe rahkstar2.gif will make it good enough, so good we will spend hours here again smile.gif I m going to buy it anyway.

Yeah, that's right this guy makes a good point (like the name by the way I remember from Vice City the Vercetti gang said "Don't push the Mario man!")

Yea, but he still had a garage. I like the idea of sleeping under a bridge or in an alley. To buy stuff you could use coins as well until later on where you get dollar bills. And your starter vehicle can be a box with car tires or a go kart.

Already fail. News stated the hobo already opened the chain of booze/gun stores.

It got shut down because he lost the diamonds and couldn't afford to keep it up. icon14.gif
