Try explaining to the PCSOs why you're in jeans, cowboy boots, blood-stained-T and carrying a replica shotgun.

 

"Well, sir, I'm just going to collect my copy of GTA". Taser-time... smile.gif

I cosplayed once last year with a few mates, I went as Max Payne. tounge.gif The thing with GTA characters, really, is that there's no iconic outfit, since you can change clothing in GTA games, and the choices are usually pretty normal and common, hell, the only stand out costume I can really think of is Tommy Vercetti's Blue Hawaiian Shirt, and even then you'd have to nail the hair and facial hair to even look remotely close.

Def it would be easier to cosplay as Max Payne -- fat bald guy with mirroed shades and a multicolored Hawiian shirt.

 

But yeah, walking around with a toy gun at midnight is a good way to attact a hail of police bullets, or a least a prolonged tasering / beating session. It might be wise to have a friend tagging along behind in the shadows with a low-light video camera, so he gets it on video and if you survive you can sue the cops and make some dough.

Cosplaying is awesome. Never done it myself but i love the culture. Why the hate guys?

 

I would problably consider going as Trevor if only i was going to a midnight release in a bigger city. The gamestore in my city doesn't do midnight releases, and i usually pre-order games online.

 

Edit: To you guys saying that cosplay isn't fitting for GTA - bullsh*t! If there's anything even a bit iconic somebody can cosplay. Imagine you and your friends rolling up to the midnight release queue in a Bugstars-painted van, dressed in the full pest controll outfit, complete with gasmasks and everything.

 

In fact, now that i've given you the idea, i'd be terribly disappointed not to see it happen. Someone in here needs to make it happen! wink.gif

This guy got on Newswire. If you nail cosplay perfectly then people are too amazed to think you're crazy.

99% of GTA fans would think you're off your head if you cosplayed for GTA release.

If you dressed up as Trevor everyone will be wondering why a meth addict is at a game store. Probably assume you are about to perform an armed robbery with a syringe or trying to sell some stolen games and consoles.

Then obviously those guys aren't big enough fans of the game. If someone dress up with such a filthy tshirt, those tattoos and that haircut, everybody should know that's Trevor or they haven't watched the trailers and previews enough to be at the midnight launch event, hah.

What makes you think there's any obsession over him?

 

Talking about cosplay, he's problably the most iconic character, that's why i mentioned him. And why are people interested in him? Because from what we know he's a stone cold psychopath. His entire characteristics is based around what GTA protagonists can, will and have always done... go crazy and blow everybody up. How is that just a "wildcard"?

only girls should cosplay, or guys that want to be treated as such sly.gif

Everybody thinks it's a bad idea, until a chick shows up dressed as the "V" bikini babe, taking self-snaps with her iFruit. Then people will be thinking, hey, this cosplay's not such a bad idea... sigh.gif

 

No worry about the weather being too cold for bikinis -- it should be plenty warm in July or August, for the GTAV midnight launch.

August. Haha, you're quite the funny guy.

Let's open up the definition of GTA cosplay just a bit, to make it easier. What GTA-themed stuff (not just GTAV) might you bring or wear to the midnight launch? There are lots of possibilities.

 

Rockstar is already selling GTAV shirts, of course.

 

But one of the aspects of cosplay is that the participant makes or customizes some of their stuff, so it is unique and not simply a commercial item. And many of the fun GTA in-game brands have not been licensed to third parties for selling, so, for example, players could make t-shirts or hoodies with GTA-themed logos, like Ammu-Nation or Pißwasser.

 

Here's the whole set of GTA brand logos in one place.

 

Or here's an idea:

I would say that bringing toy AK's or Uzi's is probably not a good idea.

 

People might dress up as Niko / Sasha.

I might print some of my GTAV Bumper Stickers and bring them to the midnight launch.

Anybody who can convince some hot chicks to show up as the bikini babe for the midnight launch, I would encourage that. biggrin.gif Bring a coat for her -- it's going to be chilly in September -- or so.... whatsthat.gif

No. I won't be dressing up, because I am an adult.

 

I've only ever been to one midnight release, for Skyrim, and it was one of the most horrible things I've ever witnessed - all of these lardy, greasy haired weirdos looking at me like I was one of them.

 

Sure, I'm a little fat and have long greasy hair, but that's NOT THE SAME THING.

Signatures are dumb anyway.

No, I will not think you are Trevor. I will think some freak has emerged from their parents basement for the first time in weeks, and has no self respect.

What is cosplay?.

Cosplay is when you dress up as a video game, cartoon, anime, etc and pose.

It's totally bent.

 

Grown men and women dressing up as game or cartoon characters and nancing about like it's important. It's not.

Signatures are dumb anyway.

All the retarded thread starters on this forum should all meet up for the midnight release and cosplay together, then someone else from this forum should do a drive by with an AK on the lot of them in true GTA style.
