Jade95 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) Starting kuruma has unique color and I didn't know why. But recently, one reddit user found out the color matches that of Statue of Liberty. Is it coincidence? maybe 'Give Me Liberty' also means 'Give Me (Statue of) Liberty' Anyway, it's a convincing reason for the starting kuruma being a rare car.

Earthbound Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 That's a pretty interesting one. Initially I thought it was a long bow to draw, but it does seem like it may have some truth to it. Cool find.

There's no reason to add new blue-ish color cuz Kuruma already has blue color version.. so I think it was intentional I compared the Statue and the Kuruma's color one by one and it's really similar Edited April 20, 2021 by Jade95 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/970836-starting-kurumas-color-matches-the-color-of-statue-of-liberty-is-it-coincidence/#findComment-1071525495 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhettoJesus Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 It's a bit of a stretch at first but I guess it isn't entirely impossible. If that was the intention then I wonder if the guy who came up with this decision still remembers it or not.

Sergiu Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Doesn't really mean anything. Initially it was a purple Sentinel, then later a dark red Sentinel and only in the end a teal Kuruma. It's just a color, redditors are reading too much into it.

There's usually a reason behind these things, especially when assigning a unique colour to this car that played no rôle. Being picky and changing the smallest details is an absolutely normal thing - I do it all the time, even if their relevance and significance only makes sense to me. I wouldn't be surprised it it was GTA 5, because it was entirely a money making product - but GTA 3 was one of the early games which the developers created with as much love as a want for money.

Sergiu Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Like I said, it changed a bunch of times without much purpose. With visual proof we have of the prior versions. Is the change from a BMW in the beta to a Dodge Intrepid also meant to be symbolic in the final game? I doubt it. Claiming it's somehow teal green to represent a statue is as long a shot as possible. What's the next claim going to be? That somehow that entirely random crashed Mafia Sentinel on the bridge that's also a unique blue color is meant to symbolize some deeper meaning about the Mafia in the US and the color is somehow symbolic of the modern world or what's next? Heck, even the crashed Enforcer wasn't carefully looked at because it still has the beta colored decal on it. Just because we care about every little detail while making mods, it doesn't mean that every detail has to matter more than "ooh this color looks neat" to the designer.

I did not deny this. They played with different options, and then when the game was near completion they went over and added the finishing touches, colour of Kuruma possibly being one of them. Quote Just because we care about every little detail while making mods, it doesn't mean that every detail has to matter more than "ooh this color looks neat" to the designer. Why assign a special colour that's not that much different from a standard light blue to the car in the first place? Your claim that it's "just neat" is no better that the OP's claim that it's a nod to the Statue of Liberty's colour.

Sergiu Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) So then Ken's unique white Admiral in Vice City is supposed to represent cocaine? I'm sorry but I just don't see how one leads to the other. Also this still doesn't answer why there's a random Mafia Sentinel with a unique blue color, destroyed and in flames nearby. So yeah, I think that my assumption that "it's just neat" is fair judgment. Not everything has to be symbolic or have a deeper meaning than a design choice.

We might never know the purpose, I think it isn't a bad thing to build fun theories For me, it's one of the reasons why I am still playing the game. It sometimes make things like the unique kuruma somewhat cooler. But it's true we should avoid spamming meaningless theories Thanks for your opinion!

You can create a separate thread about Sentinel colour, and I'll come in and say that it's a cool find if I find the facts believable.
