baguvix_wanrltw Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Haven't read it all yet but credit where it's due, this is so f*cking stupid it could have come right from GTAForums. And I'm not talking about the general idea of playing as an FBI/FIB man but their arguments for that being likely: Watch the sequence where three men - one the smart, graying white guy subtly framed as the speaking voice elsewhere - leap from a truck in identical pest control disguises brandishing suppressed automatic weapons, and kick their way into a glass lobby. Seems rather too scientific and coordinated for a mafia operation, doesn't it? Yeah, sure. The Mafia (and other big criminal organizations) are all just a bunch of unorganized retards who could never come up with a solution as scientific as kicking a door while trying to look unsuspicious. EDIT: Excuse me, forgot to post in my new "look at me, I'm special" color scheme. Fixed it now. Edited August 13, 2012 by baguvix_wanrltw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killabud Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 the reasons are pretty retarded.... honestly,I'd be pretty disappointed if it was true..... if the protag was a fib,he'd better be really really corrupt,or maybe "you know to much" and the government is trying to "suicide you" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedongtea Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 Does anyone recall this information ever being leaked? "It's possible to put names to what we glimpse of those faces. Three "FBI" agents number among the characters listed on a Telsey & Company casting call from early 2011, allegedly conducted on Rockstar's behalf. There's the "annoying, wise cracking, highly successful" Mitch Hayes, a sound bet for comic relief, the somewhat faceless Miguel Gonzalez, "a young Mexican American", and last but not least Calvin North, a "clapped out FBI agent who now mostly works offering advice on TV shows"."

baguvix_wanrltw Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Well, for those that skipped the article because of my summary: they later talk about one of those casting call rumors too. One of the old ones that contained FBI agents. If you know those you missed nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedongtea Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 I just realized something. If this were true, it would be pretty much the same plot as Sleeping Dogs. Never mind, GTA is too good for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Justice Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 A retired FIB agent breaks bad. I'd play that game, though I don't know how his previous life would affect the story. I'd assumed those FIB agents were on the casting call because the main chatacter was an ex-mob figure who turned states (some Henry Hill sh*t would also be awesome).

Racecarlock Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Playing as an FBI agent in GTA. In a game that is always about being a criminal. That's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. The game is called Grand Theft Auto! Not true crime, not CSI, Grand Theft Auto. There is one rockstar game where being an FBI agent would make sense though. In the game that's f*cking called agent. Not everything rockstar does is about GTA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA_La_Costra_Nostra Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I don't think that would be a fit for GTA even if this article was written with logical speculation. I could see playing as a retired Cop/FIB agent, but not as a current one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intstringeger Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I don't know how trustworthy this information is (not much it seems) but I wouldn't dismiss it so quickly as a bad idea, it's just the beginning of the story and there are lots of ways it can move from there. So far we've had characters who were crooks already when we met them, what if we have a character that is thrust upon a life of crime during the course of the game.

cowabunga Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 The idea doesn't disappoint me at all, R* could get a great history from this, but that article... so much unprofessional, I don't belive a sh*t since the "say hello" to a possible agent of the FBI...

JStarr31 Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Ok, so you're an undercover cop... Blah blah blah... Now how will this be justifiable to a player-induced rampage? Are you going to flash your badge every time acquire a wanted level and tell them you were having a bad day ? This is ALMOST interesting, but I just foresee to many informalities that would have to be 'adjusted'. I understand bold new direction but, c'mon....

Just because he's FBI (hypotheically) doesn't mean he can't be totally bent-ass murdering c*nt. Did you not play San Andreas? Did you see all the crimes Officer Tenplenny commited.

DangerChimp Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Sigh.. So stupid. Listen to the voiceover in the trailer.. "I wanted to retire from what I was doing, you know? From that, that line of work -- be a good guy for once, a family man." That suggests pretty strongly that he was a bad dude in his previous life. And to say that the heist in the exterminator outfits looks too "planned," remember that a bunch of drunk and drug-addicted Irish gangsters pulled off something similar in IV (minus the outfits, of course). Stupid theory. Won't happen. My money is on a mobster trying to leave his life behind by trying to move to San Andreas, only to find that ... "just when I thought I was out, they PULL ME BACK IN!"
