Baked English Beans Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) It’s 1987, the Iron Curtain is falling apart, and behind it lies opportunity and two weary criminals team up to exploit them. Follow smuggler Sophia Hoffmann and former assassin Robert Watson as they construct an empire in a tale taking place across the European continent, from the beaches in Southern France to the freezing mountains of Russia. Protagonists Sophia Hoffmann: Though on the outside a charming, not half-bad looking woman, Hoffmann is a seasoned smuggler of arms, drugs, cars and other less than legal wares. Born in East Lindenberg in 1951, her father took her to the West at the age of ten, leaving a mother and sister on the other side of the Wall. She moved to France in 1967, after her father suffered a less than favorable encounter with an industrial press. Hanging about in circles with a sympathy for Castro and Ho Chi Minh, she came upon Jean Jaquez Gillard, a soft spoken devil whose idea of political discourse was to steal the guy he disagreed with's car and sell it. He introduced her to his car theft organization, which she quickly became a vital component in. However all good things come to an end and as such Gillard was caught pissing himself back to soberity on the Prime Minister's car in the summer of 1979. Eventually the entire operation was exposed and Hoffmann slipped away and moved back to Lindenberg, where she took on various jobs. Eight years later, she is still convinced that she can run an operation better herself, she just needs the right partner... Personal vehicle: Übermacht Sentinel Robert Watson: An upstanding citizen for the first thirty years of his life and a decorated military veteran, Robert Watson realized that crime does pay and offered up his particular set of his skills to the highest bidder. In time he became one of the most effective paid murderers in Western Europe, beloved of both mafiasos and politicians. However as his daughter was born he faced a change of heart and moved with his fiancee and child to West Lindenberg where he hoped to go legal. Unfortunately old habbits die hard and within two years he was back to being paid for hitting annoying neighbours in the back of the head with a rock. By 1987 his conscience has caught up to him once again and he is looking for a more "clean" form of crime. Personal vehicle: Vapid Marin and Galivanter Protector Major Characters Oswald Phillips: The leader of a smuggling network operating out of the UK and not a very nice man. Actively blind. Peter Alexandrov: The reclusive head of the recovering Russian mob. Also not a very nice man. Andreas Junge: Former member of Gillard's operation and an old flame of Sophia's. A bit of a communist. Reginald Thompson: Western Europe's primary distributor of cocaine. Felipe Hollande: Arms dealer operating out of De Gaulle. David Blake: American soldier stationed at Waidmann Air Force Base. Has a habit of accidentally sneaking weapons out of the base and selling them. Karl Meinhof: Investigator from Globalpol, awarded with the task of leading a charge against global arms dealing. Lucy Watson: Fiancee of Robert Watson. Spends her days taking care of their daughter Alice. Jean-Jaquez Gillard: A soft spoken drunkard who was once the leader of one of the world's largest car smuggling operations. Likes to quote Marx with one hand whilst reenacting an Ayn Rand novel with the other. Released from prison early thanks to good behavior. Martina Hoffmann: Sister of Sophia Hoffmann. Lives in East Lindenberg with her husband and son. Georg Sellerman: Head of the East German MINAS. Suffers a chronic addiction to chewing tobacco. Cities West Lindenberg, Federal Republic of Germany East Lindenberg, German Democratic Republic De Gaulle, France Muscat, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Fully fleshed out mission descriptions coming whenever I can be arsed to write them soon Weapon storage: To add some realism the magical pockets of previous GTA’s have been removed and in its place, is a system bearing some similarity to that of Max Payne 3. Handguns can be stored in holsters around your body which you can purchase at a gun store, or if small enough, it can simply be put in a pocket or stuffed in your pants (You can have shoulder holsters, two hip holsters and two leg holsters). Long arms can be stored in the boot of your car, however if you switch it for another weapon it will be dropped. This can be solved by purchasing a strap for it, so instead of dropping it you will sling across your shoulder (You can have two weapons on your shoulders.) If you leave a weapon that you have purchased behind it can be found in your safe house. Changing world: Since the game takes place over a six-year period you can notice visible changes in the world around you. You can see stores close and new ones take their place, construction projects progressing or the Wall gradually disappearing. The most significant changes can be witnessed in the communist countries as they gradually open up to Western consumerism. News: Newspapers are available. Like in Red Dead Redemption they will cover in-game events and satirical news articles. In addition real world events at the time will also be reported to add authenticity to the game. You can also hear the news on the radio.

universetwisters Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 As ambitious as a project is to include a bunch of European countries, I'm surprised you didn't have any stations with German music from either side of the wall. No Neu Deutsche Welle from the west, no knockoffs of pop songs from the east. Hell, it might be just me but the idea of there being all these places just feels more like quantity over quality. Instead of trying to stretch what you have across a continent, why not just confine them to fictionalized versions of East & West Berlin? That's what I would do at least. sabitsuki and Ivan1997GTA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, I will be adding German radio stations, this is still a work in progress. You could be right about confining it to just Berlin, it would streamline everything a lot, I might resort to that if I can't make it work with three countries.

RogerWho Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Seems like you beat me to the concept I had a very similar idea, just not enough time/will to complete it. I wanted to go with a more pedestrian route (just East/West Germany, and maybe some Austrian bits). It's cool that other people can think of GTA-like games in other settings than the usual LC/VC/LS in the USA. Ivan1997GTA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan1997GTA Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) This concept looks promising. I've had a similar idea about a game set in the Soviet Union, during the late 80's, but it seems you beat me to it. From the sound of it, this concept looks like it's gonna be great! I've always wanted a GTA game set outside of North America, apart from London, of course. This seems like the perfect time period. I'll be drivin' my Tailgater throughout Lindenburg and Muscat, or even possibly an old Cheburek car in Muscat. The soundtrack seems perfect so far for the time period it's in. As for artists, why not include Kraftwerk and Space (maybe Deliverance on De Gaulle Local Radio, or Running in the City, or Robots, or even Tango in Space)? I can't wait to hear the Radio Germany sounds, maybe from artists like C.C. Catch, Modern Talking, and heck, even Scorpions. Needless to say, I'm intrigued. EDIT: I just realized, this concept takes place over 6 years, nevermind about the year restrictions.

It's cool that other people can think of GTA-like games in other settings than the usual LC/VC/LS in the USA. Time has been pretty sparse for me as well, this concept is actually something I've spent a few months chewing on. I would still love to see your concept though, if you ever found the time to complete it. This concept looks promising.

Thanks, I appreciate the soundtrack suggestions, Kraftwerk is definitely in, will look into the other ones. I must say I've spent far more time researching crappy Soviet cars these last months than I'm comfortable with admitting Edited October 28, 2016 by Baked English Beans Mister Pink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[...] Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) This concept reminds of my scrapped idea for a GTA video game set in 1989-1990 Poland (somewhere in Pomeranian Voivodeship). Hell, it even had the fall of communism as a main theme. The headers' font looks familiar. Edited October 29, 2016 by Phnx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to at least get the first one up within a few days. In the mean time I've done a few stealthy updates to the characters and such. Edit: Or maybe not.

le shark Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) Well, I found this, and some of these bands are european, so it definitely existed in Europe back then, but it certainly was too undeground to have it's own radio station, even a pirate one.
