Concept Grand Theft Auto - Vice City

[WTDWYTK]

Re-imagined modern day Miami, Florida.

 

 

 

 

First and Foremost

 

The said title was thought of even before work began on Grand Theft Auto V.

 

Grand Theft Auto V was the result of a fraction of what was initially planned for what was to become known as Grand Theft Auto Vice city back in 2008-2009, but scrapped due to the sheer size of the game and simply because the title lacked any real sense of direction at the time. Grand Theft Auto V's actual development did not start until mid-late 2009 while the development on the said title restarted in mid-late 2013 and is now set make a return as a completely new title on the next gen and pc.

 

What you are about to read is what the development started with and how much it had progressed upto Fall of 2015.

 

Please note, that there won't be any replies or posts on this topic from me after this, if you decide to believe this or be skeptical about this, the choice lies in your hands. You'll be believing this when the game is announced anyway. I have nothing to gain in any way from the information I provide, apart from a simple fact that everything cannot be kept hidden for a long time, especially when you as an organization piss off the wrong people.

 

 

 

Character Customization

 

 

Character customization returns to the game. The Protagonist's facial features are now custom made by players and not already pre-defined unless using default settings.

 

Stats like, stamina, weight, build, facial features (facial hair, color of hair, sculpturing), hairstyles, tattoos (in depth), etc make a return with having an option to alter height of the character as well. (With the minimum and maximum restrictions in place).

 

The game features only one protagonist this time around.

 

 

 

The Map

 

 

Map of vice city as we know it from back in 2002 is nowhere near to what rockstar have developed in terms of sheer size and the level of heavily detailed living and breathing environment of the modern day Miami, Florida, with the idea of making almost 80% of the said environment available to interact with to the player itself. The world you see will no longer restrict itself to just visual appeal but can now be interacted with and played around with as the player wishes.

 

Speaking of the map, the game's map has been fully re-designed and re-imagined in terms of size and location, from the islands heavily inspired by, Florida keys all the way to the mainland city of Miami having surrounding islands based off of real life, Miami beach, fisher island, bay harbor island, all the way to the everglades, the ever lasting wilderness that modern day Florida has to offer. Rockstar expands upon the open-world aspect of the game world of the urban region in combination with the surrounding islands, accounts to a game world that is atleast 5 times bigger than the combined world of Grand Theft Auto V.

 

 

The size of the map can be better understood with the understanding of the fact that air transportation has had a heavy and huge up liftment in the game's extremely large world, with mainland city of Miami having atleast two big sized airports , two being in what is referred to as somewhere along the lines of modern day Florida keys, with one of them being a huge military installation, with 2 more planned in the wilderness of Florida for total connectivity available to the player in the game's massive world. (Please note that real location names are being used to comprehend for what the fictional locations are based off of).

 

 

 

 

Game Engine & Transportation

 

 

 

The game features a new engine which further refines the world and pushes the limits farther than Grand Theft Auto V ever did. It is going to be extensively demanding, as far as hardware goes. The game now features a new combat system and driving style fully revamped and re-designed with the latter being more inclined to how Grand Theft Auto IV's physics were originally designed to be, just more refined in terms of suspension and the over all feel of handling a land, air, or sea vehicle.

 

Which brings us to the next topic that focuses on a very large arsenal of weapons including an extensive variety of melee weapons, explosives, military hardware, custom made weapons, etc and vehicles, which range from small city vehicles, to luxury sedans, to super cars, to a very large variety of off-road vehicles, heavy duty military vehicles, attack, luxury and transport helicopters, private, passenger, fighter aircrafts, a variety of farm related vehicles, suvs, metrorail, and huge variety of motorcycles, bicycles, etc. Greater in number than any known in previous titles.

 

 

A large variety of sports related and leisure activities have come to become a big part of the game and the missions that follow. These include, but are in no way limited to, para gliding, base jumping, water sports, mud monster battles, off-road racing (inside and outside arenas), street races, bowling, pool, marathons, cycling, jogging, drinking, eating, exercising, tennis, basketball, sea diving with an underwater world just as impressive as the main world of the game to explore, rafting, swimming, boating, jet skiing, kite boating, yachting, gliding, etc to name a few. Nothing like this sort has been seen before in previous titles.

 

 

The huge world of vice city is now full of activities and actual opportunities in which the player can choose to do whatever they feel like, be whoever they want to be, be the good guy, be the bad guy, go as far as crime fighting, or follow what the true essence of GTA has to offer as a life of a thug to become the region's biggest drug dealer or crime lord, a top corrupt politician, chief of police, a street gangbanger, a successful business tycoon, the decision is yours, and believe me there are many to make.

 

 

 

Features Introduced

 

 

A new business system has been developed and introduced in line with previously seen Grand Theft Auto V's stock market in which this time around a firm can be established by the player themselves and be listed to trade on the stock market, with more focus on acquiring the assets you need to successfully run and expand your enterprise to become a global force in the corporate world.

 

Following the trend of previous Grand Theft Auto titles and not to deviate from what GTA actually stood for all these years, keep in mind that whoever or whatever you plan to become, won't come easy or clean. There are roads which takes you to either a successful life or a path full of unwanted troubles and an uncertain lifespan to reach your goal, with the region's criminal underworld lurking at every corner, the choice is upto the player. Bear in mind that this time around the choices you make and the decisions you take are going to adversely affect the game's ending which vary greatly depending on how you go about it but are somewhat inter-woven with everything that has been going on in the game in sync with what can be referred to as the "main storyline" of the game.

 

The newest ability which may not be so new after all is the ability to be now able to enter buildings, almost anywhere in the world, be it a digital store, a shopping mall, a gun store, office buildings, houses, name it and it's there. The new engine now offers players to buy land and build their own dream house as they please, be it a mansion, a villa, a shack, on properties available to purchase in the game's ever lasting world as you progress through further and further up. The game now also introduces a progression system, that ranks up the player's abilities for any set of skills required to engage in the activities mentioned above.

 

 

 

 

Misc

 

 

The protagonist does have a back story upon which the core storyline is more or less focused on, however please note that the focus this time around is not to restrict the player to follow a certain story-line but rather on what you are left to deal with and how you plan to use your time in game to make your character who you want and how you progress in the story. The idea behind this game is player freedom and having multiple story-lines to pursue. The game most likely will see the continuation of Grand Theft Auto Online, with the choice to continue with the same character(s) that the player created in Grand Theft Auto V. The game is set to be announced by the mid of 2017 or early 2018.

 

(Please note that the above mentioned information is only upto a certain time period in 2015, and a few things may have experienced a slight change but to my knowledge not as much as to change the core principles of the game, which shall mostly remain as they were).
