The way such a simple inclusion didn't just convey passage of time generally but also an entire school year was a neat touch, and now that I have seen it there I'd like to see it occur in the next <i>GTA</i> game as well.<br /><br />Speaking of which, I've always been a bit puzzled as to why those games have always portrayed the criminal side of things. Sure, it's probably more fun that way but a game spanning both the criminal underworld and the law enforcement trying to prevent it would be quite compelling if you ask me, so I'm quite surprised it hasn't been done yet, especially now that we know Rockstar are pretty good at providing a new take on a familiar setting. Having one of the games start as a student ala <i>Bully</i> and have the potential to progress into different areas -- criminal, cop, mayor as you suggest, plus no doubt many more -- based on player decisions would be quite the experience and would only further enhance the detail and atmosphere that Rockstar are already pretty effective at achieving. <br /><br />But I suppose, in a strange way, their non-<i>GTA</i> games are tapping into this somewhat, with <i>Bully</i> already being an example of what a school-based setting from them would be like; <i>Red Dead Redemption</i> their take on the Western and upcoming <i>L.A. Noire</i> -- another game I'm intrigued by -- their version of what it'd be like on the aforementioned detective/law enforcement side. <br /><br />They are experimenting, that's for sure. It's just a shame that experimentation isn't taking place in the <i>GTA</i> games a bit more.<br /><br />Yeah, you got me thinking. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00626684107210848128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083509480143917931.post-52017680013353349472010-05-19T17:17:08.437+10:002010-05-19T17:17:08.437+10:00Agreed. That would be awesome. Personally, I'd...Agreed. That would be awesome. Personally, I'd love to see the city change gradually over time as well. Maybe start with Bully in Liberty City, and then have this Straight A student become the next mayor, or a criminal king-pin, with the landscape of the city adjusting accordingly. Maybe Rockstar should hire Peter Molyneux.Jorge Alborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04857765716032886965noreply@blogger.com
