What would a Tarantino GTA look like ?

[WalidSF]

What do you think GTA would look like gameplay wise if Quentin Tarantino was directing it ?

Trevor Phillips story most likely.

Nobody would wear shoes and people would suddenly interrupt cutscenes to taste burgers.

Might be good. I mean I think Tarantino is a bit overrated and hit and miss at times. However, he did write one of my favourite films, True Romance. Parts of True Romance could really lend themselves well to a GTA. Subject matter and weird characters in a Tarantino film are very much suited to a GTA. Jackie Brown is actually just an amazing film too.

I feel like GTAV already has some Tarantino-esque aspects.

The characters' banter, the type of humor, the lengthy dialogue, pop-culture references, the crazy situations,etc.

 

Add some more ludicrous violence and boom. There you go!

[luisniko]

Well, gameplay wise it would be either the same or screwed up. But story wise most likely would be the most brilliant in the existence of video game.

 

That said, Tarantino is all about story, acting, and cinematic. And all of that is what this GTA is trying to sell?

 

Then say no more, I definitely wouldn't buy this GTA and just watch the story off YouTube instead.

You'll start out with everything in the game then as the game progresses you'll flash back and start losing everything until you finally finish as a homeless level one with a missing ear, a ball gag and having your ballz shot off by the Dominguez gang.

Completely agree on this. Tarantino is an excellent filmmaker no doubt, but some of his films don't really stand out TBH. Pulp Fiction is great and all, but it ain't that special. Django, Hateful Eight, and Death Proof are good at best. True Romance, Reservoir Dogs, and Inglorious Basterds are masterpieces though. The former two especially captures that "GTA" vibe through it's bold depiction of violence, dark humor, referential awareness, and cast of quirky characters. I feel a Tarantino GTA wouldn't really differentiate from typical Rockstar fashion. Rockstar themselves are basically the Tarantino of gaming, the similarities of the two can be uncanny sometimes.

 

Speaking of True Romance, Tony Scott might have been a bigger influence on the film, but Tarantino's writing is just absolutely incredible. The entire Sicilian scene was brilliant in it's own right with the performances of Hopper and Walken, but the way Tarantino's dialogue cleverly captured the tense and sometimes humorous aspect of it is truly special.

Tarantino movies are all about the dialogue. His writing is beautiful and meticulous. I'd love a Tarantino developed GTA. You'd get a superb story, multi-layered complex characters and a lot of really, really great dialogue.

Your character will end up looking like a bitch

It would look like Resident Evil 7 with a lot of cars and powerful weapons.

[MARKUS.]

Bloody.

I always felt GTA IV/EFLC was the videogame version of Pulp Fiction, a big city where the lives of multiple criminals intertwine with each other with common subplots (On its case, Heroin and Diamonds). 

[Zapper]

Honestly a Tarantino GTA would be good but I don't really think it'd be that much different from regular Rockstar production. Tarantino's strongest asset is his excellent dialogue and screenplay, not extremely complex storylines and I largely feel the same about Rockstar as well. A story with colorful characters with great dialogue and humor. At the end of the day both Tarantino and Rockstar takes inspiration from similar sources, 60s-80s both classic and obscure films and pays extensive homage to them as well, in a way that makes their output both pastiche and original at same time and precisely what makes them fresh and enjoyable.

 

That being said I think it's more likely to be closer to GTAV in terms of tone, pacing and how it adds pop culture references in it. It already has many of the hallmarks of a Tarantino script.

Actually, I never thought of that. That's a great observation.

The only Tarantino's works that fit a GTA game are Resevouir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. The others are too over. Too much blood, coreography, and not related to the game.

Actually I think Vic Vega (Mr. Blonde) somehow inspired Tommy Vercetti.

If he were at the helm of a GTA game it'd probably be taking place in the 70's

[Bloodytears1666]

It was cool when "Family Guy" showed Tarantino vision on their series. Wonder why Rockstar doesnt want to make the same trick. May be with not an entire game, but I would love to see some missions made by him in GTA, just his free vision on a game, not a movie. 

[neo92boi]

I’ve always said Rockstar Games are the Tarantino of the Video Game industry and Grand Theft Auto is the Pulp Fiction of Video Games. 
 

No one can convince me otherwise

Yep, gunfights in RDR2 are already like that. They're raw, imprecise and visceral.

It would have a lot of feet, that's for sure.
