The Family Aspect

[johnny_zoo]

I'm really looking forward to watching this family dynamic in the story. Michael has this with his family. It will really soften the tone I think having Michael care about a family and showing him waiting for his kids at school for example. This is unheard of for a Gta game remember where kids are strangely absent.

 

Makes you wonder if there will be any more children in the game? Trevor I doubt hes shown already he can barely wipe his own butt let alone a baby's. franklin is too young for kids. What do you think does the family part entertain you?

 

For me if Michael is anything like Walter White then ill be hooked.

I'm interested too, especially considering the preview suggested the dynamic will go on through regular play, not just cutscenes. As for childrens' absence, it's because the whole idea of killing children has been a hot topic. Lately though video games are being more accepted as a medium of media and entertainment. I don't see little kids like in Fable, but Michael's kids and those in that age group seem like they'd be alright. It's possible they'll be the only ones though; same as RDR with the Marstons.

I second this. Would be cool to see different generations of people, with all their stereotypical behaviour. Old grey people with canes, for an example, or young adults (18-21) walking on the streets with their iFruit.

I'm not entirely sure, but aren't Michael's kids at least 18? I know jimmy is 20, I don't know how old Tracy is though.

I hope we can do more than just look at them like in RDR. We'll probably be able to do missions with or for them. I'm definitely interested.

In Gameinformer it said she's a teenager.

I wonder is Michaels Family is going to be closed off outside missions, how are R* going to handle that would be weird if everyone were to be locked up in their rooms, then again would be weird if Michael just decides to blow his daughters knee caps off.

 

also would be hilarious if we could make trevor just randomly stroll in their house.

Same way they handled in the past. They wont be there. That's my bet at least.

Another option for R* would be to, for the first time in GTA, limit the player's actions inside the house, disabling weapons, but that's not their style at all.

Now, that you mention it Franklin just my have a son at the end of the game. I mean he`s not too young at least in the black community when a boy has his first child at 16, actually he started kinda late.

Actually, Vice City would forcibly take your weapons away whenever you entered the airport. You could get them back once you exited it.

Ah, you're right. Forgot that one!

However the security check didnt really disable use of weapons and it was very simple to bypass.

 

I think Michael's family just wont be there, like in previous games where the story characters are nowhere to be seen outside missions.

Like I'd said earlier; anyone recall the GI preview? Michael and his wife interacted when he was leaving the house at the beginning of his demo section.
