Will Multiple Protagonists Become the Norm?

I reckon we may see two protagonists in a The Departed style story in a future GTA game.

I'd be all for that. Maybe AGENT will go down that road

Im still waiting for the GTA game where you're actually an undercover cop. Especially in Boston, or a Boston-Esque city...... But then again, I'm in Boston.

I'd like to see 2 protagonists, one's an undercover cop, the other is a huge criminal. it all ends with you choosing who you want to kill the other. That would be something.

Yep... more like that movie called "Heat" (well Al Pacino was not an undercover cop)... but hey, why the F not?

 

O.T: I think this system will rock and it would be use in next titles but... No more than 3, it wouldn't be good with 5 or something like that...

HOW'S ANNIE?

If they do I could see a 1977, San Fierro game where you play as a Chineste Immigrant whoes fled their country due to the spread of communism, an ex-soldier whoes joined a biker gang following the Vietnam War and a high rolling African-American pimp investing in the porn industry. Gives a nice cross section of 70's culture.

I think Dan Houser said if the multi protags in GTA V doesn't work out they will revert to one protag.

I don't know if I will want multiple protags again after this. I'll just have to see how it works out and how everything works and such. I don't think they will do it again, but if they were to decide to or not, I'm sure it depends on the fans reactions.

 

I also wouldn't put it behind R* to have a female protagonist in the future.

Why?

The question is: Will the protagonists work together? Or will it be like in IV and EFLC were they were unknowingly affecting one another?

What kind of a question is that? I hope you're not talking about GTA V characters there?

 

Anyway, OT: I don't think it will be a norm, in GTA basically nothing is a norm, they take away features and introduce new one's all the time. After San Andreas I though having a bit of countryside will become a norm for GTA, then came IV. I still think after V it will be a norm but hey.. it's R*.

 

My assumption is they may have two cities in VI with two characters living in different cities and eventually teaming up for some serious work. And after that I'd expect one character again.

Yes, it's the future of open world gaming I could imagine - Strauss Zelnick said the same lately and this makes Rockstar Games yet again the best on that sector - they started doing this concept - they fully understand it now and all their upcoming games, including V, will just turn out to be amazing!

Yes just like books and tv and film, video games are going to have multiple pro tags- not all the time mind you, but game companies aren't going to worry as much. The medium is maturing and that's fine with me.

I personally feel this was R*s experiment. If this is successful, then they might re-consider for teh next series.

Having one story that is interconnected and told through several perspectives is something Rockstar began exploring in IV and will continue experimenting with in V, though they said that the next GTA doesn't necessarily have to be like this.

Im pretty sure theres gonna be more GTA's with more then one protagonists, but i HIGHLY doubt the next GTA will have multi protagonists.

Obviously can't say for sure, but I think the next big "risk" would be having a female protagonist.

 

I don't think Rockstar has to follow this format from now on. For GTAV it makes sense--to illustrate the diverse struggles to make some cash in this terrible economy. And like others have said this is an experiment of sorts.

I feel the next game will only have one protagonist.

Same here. I'm putting my money on it being a highly customizable character like CJ.

Thing is, they always try to push the boundaries and do bold new approaches... 3 protags won't be brand new after V no more, but I don't know if they'll be able to re-write the book once again in such a major way.
