A vehicle as the main protagonist?

[Gentlebreeze]

What your thoughts on a vehicle that's tied to the storyline and is stolen by many different people? The vehicle will accompany many different antagonists over many years.

In all serious I would like it to be done the way GTA 4 handled the diamonds where everyone was killing for it (and maybe ends up going to no one/random side character)

Many great stories have a mcguffin. 

[TheFireMZL]

That could be lit asf 

[Algonquin Assassin]

I thought of Christine before opening this thread (The killer 58 Plymouth Fury if you guys have seen that movie).

[god speed]

Could be an interesting motif for the story, kinda like Bryce's orange Infernus in GTA IV/TLAD.

Sounds like an interesting idea, GTA should have a larger focus on cars anyway.

[Tao Cheng]

I want a supercharged inline-4 Sonny Forelli as main protag or not buying.

[MojoGamer]

I rather see the protagonist start in street racing car by choice: muscle, sport or motorcycle.

This the game would keep its rag to riches theme going.

I don't want to start of with a spoiled brat who already has all the riches, best start as a young gun.

[Pedinhuh]

I think this would be better suited for a game series that already has it focus on cars, like Driver.

[Eugene H. Krabs]

Before I clicked on this I was expecting it to be like Pixar's Cars...

[SinisterRaccoon]

Y'all on some bull. 

[DirtCheap]

Not a bad idea, very progressive.

 

It's time cars gets some representation in the media 

[CryptReaperDorian]

Just don't kill off the protagonist's dog. . .

 

Or maybe do. . .

 

Just to make things. . . interesting. . .

This sounds like a good idea in theory but won't work because the car would have to be something out of the reach of the normal protagonists, which means it can't be a supercar because Rockstar has devalued supercars in this series, nor can it be an SUV or truck or a traffic vehicle. It would have to be some government prototype and ffs not the government schtick again.


If Rockstar hadn't devalued supercars then it would've worked because it could've been an extremely rare and expensive supercar. Y'now, once upon a time the Banshee was rare and worthwhile to acquire...

Well this made me tear inside a bit seeing as the series was once about cars, and even has auto in its name, but is no longer recognized as a car game. Also Driver is dead. Ubersh*t killed it off.

Can't wait till Rockstar make Grand Theft Auto: Rusty Balkan Tractor Stories

Like that one supernatural episode where you see things from the Impalas perspective could be interesting if done correctly

Why not an attack helicopter?

No f*ckin way

Sounds cool, but wouldn't really work in GTA game, unless we would go back to the roots and make GTA Next similar to the first GTA game.

[Timcatgt5]

Only if KITT from Knight Rider is available (I prefer the 2008 version rather than the original). 

 

 

[universetwisters]

That couldn't be a bad idea, if it were played off right. Kinda like how Fargo had the Oldsmobile Ciera 

[TheSantader25]

Brilliant idea. Reminds me of the M3 GTR in Most Wanted. It can be handled like the diamonds in IV. It doesn't have to be a weaponized prototype or a super car. It can be a stylized car with a very special build/modifications that is one of a kind. A mission giver may ask you to obtain it for him for a very big price and you suddenly find yourself in deep sh*t because every motherf*cker is after it. If the game has multiple cities, this could also help the theme. You go from city to city to search for the vehicle.

I'd vote for a classic muscle car, maybe known from a movie, like the Dodge Challenger in Vanishing Point, that was also referred to in Death Proof, the car might be the former possession of a celebrity within the GTA universe and therefore be precious.

The M3 GTR is one of my favourite cars and the best in the franchise. The sound of the engine, straight cut transmission and blue/white livery made it a classic. Which also reminds me. I've planned a play through of NFS Most Wanted for PC very soon.

I don't get how a car could be the protagonist. Unless it's a super advanced A.I. smart car from the future or sentient in some other way it's not even a character let alone a protagonist. Plus, why would you want to play as one car rather than a person who can drive any car?

 

I do like some of the ideas here, though. A car as one of the main plot devices would be cool. Like maybe we play as a lowly car thief who steals a car from the wrong person and then has to get it back before they murder him. All the while he gets pulled deeper and deeper into the city's criminal underworld.
