Protagonist as Military Soldier or Police Officer?

There was a soldier as protagonist in Vice City Stories, nut there was never a police officer... or any other special forces at protagonist.

 

What about having a doctor or a police officer as potagonist for GTA V?

or

maybe another gangster...

 

Discuss what type of theme you would think/like the protagonist would play as.

We have a lot of topics about protagonist being a cop but that's what True Crime and Driver is for!

 

And you meant 'another gangster' - that somehow doesn't makes sense as we always played as gangsters which roughly traduces (or translates dunno right word) to a killer/rebel with a cause.

 

But the idea about being a doctor somehow intrigues me, yet it makes no sense for doctor to steal cars and kill people in GTA way. And imagine stupid minigames - cut Roman's balls off with scalpel*.

 

Even if you're a szychoprenic doctor who fits into GTA as you would be killing people, it would fit Manhunt way much more.

 

* - Scalpel would be tremendous meelee weapon in next game, wouldn't it?

I'd rather play as someone similar to Tommy Vercetti. A doctor, a police officer, generally anyone who saves lives, would be too ironic for a GTA title.

This seems like a bad idea. Cops are there to enforce the law. The fact that the protagonist in GTA is often outside of teh law gives us discretion to violate the populations rights which is what makes the game fun.

Lets just say. LA Noire will never be on the level of GTA 4.

LA Noire is in no way comparable to GTA; they're two totally different games.

What about making him as a dirty cop gone rogue and he dives around in slow motion shooting ppl like he's "the one" in the matrix...ah if only R* would get with the program and make a game like that... tounge.gif

Doctor? It would be cool to shoot someone and then remove their bullet, but not for GTA.

Way too ironic don't you think?... Police Officers and Doctors don't usually go around stealing every car in the city and or firing a rocket launcher at a crowed of pedestrians do they?

I like the idea of a cop protaganist and think it would made an interesting story but there is only one way i see it working in GTA.

 

The story would have to follow the cop gets framed, family murdered, stripped of any credibility and on the run for crimes he didn't commit kind of angle.

 

Then we could see his character evolve from a model cop into the dangerous desperate ruthless vigilante type hell bent on vengance and taking down anyone in his way to get to those responsible for his down fall and IMO this would make for a truly unpredictable character capable of anything in a GTA world.

 

I'm struggling to think of a film as example at this time but i know there are some good ones to take influence from.

How about having the Protagonist be the Varrio Los Azteca Gang member, like um... Gal (remember Hazer, Gal and Sunny biggrin.gif)!

I like LA Noire, but as people have said above, being a cop changes the nature of the gameplay too much for it to work in the GTA franchise (e.g. you can't just go on a random killing spree).

I think the protagnist should be a police officer/agent who lost his wife and had a breakdown. Got into debt, and ended up killing someone in a hit and run. Now he has to kill to survive and keep out of prison. cool.gif

I guess a doctor or police officer would be okay, only if they were fired, have mental issues and turn to a life of crime. I'd like to be the doctor, and then go back to the hospital I was fired from and butcher everyone.

Keep the cops in their place as our enemies. And stay away from goody guy sh*t in general. The protagonist needs to be a straight up criminal.
