Hello all,
Seeing as these days its all about taking game favorites and classics into bold new directions me and a friend also have been discussing what kind of direction one of today's favorites; Grand Theft Auto, should go.
Though the game appeals to the action and sandbox crowd I feel that the the turn based strategy crowd is being ignored, a group of potential buyers, therefore I insist that the next Grand Theft Auto sequel becomes a turn based strategy game or have such elements in it.
Also in a way the game is very limited, generally just one city, but instead of just taking it a step further and include other cities why not take it a very bold step forwards; the player should be able to go into space and to other planets!
As long as it includes GTA elements the fans won't complain.
And how about time travel? Wouldn't it be exciting to go back in time and pimp up a horse cart?
And while we are at it, we are now also ignoring the fantasy fans so lets bring in magic, and lets not forget the sci-fi fans so we will also bring in a load of robots, and to make it extreme we're going to combine the idea; magical robots, and to fit the GTA theme; the magical robot mafia!
Last to make the game really epic, we need a villain with status, so how about a warlock was was defeated thousands of years ago by a band of heroes but who know has returned to spread darkness throughout the world, and the player is the only one who can beat him.
Here you have it, the next ultra extreme, appeal to all, Grand Theft Auto that will blow gamers away because it breaks with the old and tired gameplay and goes into exciting new directions; a turn based game in which the player must take on the magical robot mafia while being to go into space and back in time with the final goal being to defeat the evil resurrected warlock who wants to destroy the world.
Trust me, game reviewers will be all over it, and the developers will say that this is the way the original GTA developers had the game in mind but could not realise because of the technical limitations at the time.
Edit: not meant against the GTA fans on this board.
