GTA Spinoffs

[MrcTOtheJ]

Ok there has been allot of speculation on what features will be in the next GTA game every thing from Weapon customization (WC) to a female protag, and character creation, and some say that, while there good ideas, they would not work in a GTA game. So I thought what is stopping R* from making games that take place in the GTA universe but take elements from a different genre of games.

 

Here are some examples...

 

A crime RPG, the game will take place in Liberty City in 2010 two years after the events of GTAIV, you create a player and start off as a hired gun, or some other small time criminal, and work your way up the food chain. You could join a gang as in the Russian Mafia or the triads and work up the ranks there, or hell even start your own gang/criminal empire. There would be a business system where you could run both illegal ventures and legal ones that you could use as a cover.

 

Game play would work a lot like past GTA's especially in the combat system except more people/objects would be interactive. Also weapon customization could be added and a safe house upgrade feature could also be implemented, and an in-depth car customization feature could also be thrown into the mix.

 

As for a wanted system it would be more in-depth then in GTA games and after committing a few high profile crimes you’d have surveillance vans and cops/feds staking out you house and your frequent hot spots, which could lead to employers to refusing you jobs, and holding up in a friends house or another safe house to avoid a bust. There could also be a price on your head feature similar to the wanted lv. feature in which your enemies would send hit men to dean with you, then you would have to pay them a favor(the price of your bounty), or make peace with them in some other means, or just get them killed or wipe them out.

 

The game would also be more open ended than another game I know about to as there would be no true storyline.

 

Well that's it for now I'll post more ideas as I think of them.

 

Now share your ideas.

The f*ck? You just described GTA with additional features.

 

Instead of having all that as a spinoff game R* might was as well just make that the next official GTA.

 

I mean, it's the same gameplay, the same universe, same weapons, cars, everything.

 

It would literally be GTA just with another name...

I guess I see where your coming from, but I don't think allot of the features in that idea would work in the next GTA, i.e. character creation, and the wanted system, but still I see where your coming from.

You know what? I can see it working. Just, perhaps, a bit more emphasis on a single set of features that are less important ing the Grand Theft Auto series - ones that would be unlikely to be emphasized. I mean, businesses and FZTH storylines are all too common in GTA games, while pure RPG elements, stealth, evasion, in-depth simulation, and so on, are not.
