Thanks to you guys I just made two new PSN accounts.  RaceNChase and RaceAndChase

..why?

Because I am getting a PS4 and I needed to make a PlayStation Network account and I couldn't think of an original name. I play on Xbox 360 right now.

This topic makes me very glad it's called Grand Theft Auto...

lmao this icon14.gif

Me too, I'm not sure "Race-n-chase" would have made it this far. Haha.

 

EDIT

Damn you, MooseHTX ....I wish I thought of that. Although I wouldn't want to leave all my ps3 trophies behind.

As much as I love GTA, the name is actually terrible when you think about what the game is at this point and where it's going. I love the name, because I'm a huge fan of the series, but GTA is much more than a crime game. I think The Benz said it best...

 

"We all live lives. Normal people doing normal things. So that's what we base it on. It's based on (life). If you think of something, chances are it's going to work. Like the car insurance - it's real life. You pay an insurance premium, you phone them up when it gets nicked, you get it back. So everything is based on normality - with a little twist, of course."

 

I think something like "Twisted Reality" or something that means the same thing. I imagine GTA stories will always be about crime, but they really could be about anything. I think the core of the experience is everything within the city and how you interact with it.

I don't have any suggestions. But I would like to answer the first question. If they hadn't have chosen "Grand Theft Auto" for a name, the series would be less controversial because it would be less well known by parents wanting to keep their kids away from it. Think about it. Not many games out there explicitly let on they're all about breaking some law. In fact, I can't think of any.

I thought of 3... True Crime, 25 to Life, Assassins Creed. Was there a controversy around the first game? I bought it for PlayStation (still have the game actually) confused.gif
