If there was a GTA Australia (2014 setting) what would it have?

[XisPlz88]

This is mostly concerning about guns

 

I suggest that realit should be kept, i would never see a Anti-Material Rifle, or Automatic Rifle in Australia

Law in Australia prevents Automatic, Semi-Automatic, Self Loading and Pump Action So that would mean no OzGunz selling AK47s

oh and waiting an in game month to get a gun

(then again in could be set in an alternative universe where the event in 1997 in port athur never happened)

so the only way to get an AR is to kill a soldier/Fed

and don't forget vehicles, and locations

Driveable/Huntable Kangaroos anyone?

Gangmembers would mainly be Chinese, Bikers, Africans and Aboriginals

and many other ideas you could make up

I'd expect peds to say stereotypical Aussies things like...

 

"Bloody oath"

"Put a shrimp on the barbie"

"G-day mate"

 

I also think there'd be a rorting Centrelink side mission.

"Put a shrimp on the barbie"

 

I don't think I've seen or eaten barbecued shrimp. And that's with 19 years of living in Australia.

 

As for GTA in Australia it would be pretty dull if it was set in Melbourne. Look I don't know first-hand but from what I can see/know from watching Underbelly is: Majority of the crime here is vandalism and graffiti, there is a couple of big organised crime groups but they don't make noise and that youth gangs stab each other from time-to-time. But that is Melbourne and I assume Sydney is different.

 

As for gang-members you forgot to mention Italian, Vietnamese and Middle-Eastern gangs. Also the Australian mafia.

It's just be like in GTA IV, underground gun dealers, it's not like you can't get guns illegally there.

 

What's crime like there compared to the UK? Here it tends to be small crews of youths stabbing each other and low profile ethnic organized crime like the Turkish Mafia. I've heard Australia has a lot of problems with biker gangs but I don't know a lot about the crime scene there.

I would love to see a GTA set in my home country but I know it will never happen, we have enough trouble trying to sell GTA here, GTA V was the first game that no one tried to ban since we finally got the R18+ rating for games.

 

The game would be set in a parody of Sydney (it would probably have a name along the lines of Harbour City or something like that) obviously since it is Australia's most iconic city (despite the fact that it is only a state capital).

Gun shops would go back to the way they were handled in GTA IV (I typed this before brownbear's response) and sports cards would be extremely rare in all areas.

There would be a lot more vehicles manufactured by Cheval (parody of Holden) and i'm sure Rockstar would add Kangaroo's even if the setting is strictly urban.

If a GTA would be set in Australia, probably in Sydney.

I would like a GTA set in Australia I guess because I really can't stand Australians (they think they are so awesome with their stupid outback and their weird animals and their stupid accent and because they drive on the other side of the road), I would really enjoy going around killing Australian civilians and cops.

[HOW'S ANNIE?]

You start as Dazza, living in the outer suburbs of Harbour City (Sydney), he has no money. With all his Centrelink payments going towards his three ex wives and eight children, Dazza doesn't have the money for the basics in life, such as smokes, liquor and modifications to his precious Commadore. With no options Dazza joins his brother in law, Jono, in dealing various sub-par narcotics. Together Dazza's actions will lead him on a journey that will shake Harbour City to its core.

But seriously, I live in Australia and can tell you with 100% certainty that this place is NOT ripe for a GTA parody.
