At E3 Rockstar announced that they will make a Grand Theft Auto 4. Of course there is a lot of speculation on what this will be about. I have my own ideas and some good ones.
Lets change this all up a little. Instead of a male character, it should be a female character. I mean think of all the things that open up with a female character. Uh, I mean, it’s a different angle that can be done with a female character. Lets call her Ashley, because I like the name (All my custom female characters are named Ashley).
The game would start out as 20-year old girl. You can select what nationality, race, hair color, eye color, etc. And while you can change this during the game, it changes how people react to you. If you’re hot, people check you out and want to be around you. If you haven’t showered in 3 days, people are running from you.
2 years into college, your parents cut you off and now you don't know what to do. So you up and move all your stuff to "Rockstar North". You can decide to go to school or go to work. How would you pay for school? Or where would you work?
She could have stuff like “Manipulate the system” where she can manipulate people by looking cute and sexy. Then men will buy them drinks and stuff. She’ll have to go to bars and get picked up by men who lay the dumbest pickup lines to the suave men. Then you decide if you want to screw him or screw him over. Or you could let it develop into a relationship or not. And of course, after you screw him over, you can GTA his car. If you feel like he’s screwing you over, you can take his car and crash it, then return it to his driveway. Or maybe Key it, or scratch it with his golf club or something.
In the same aspect of GTA:SA, Ashley will still have to go to the gym and do that stair-master. Also has to do sit-ups and stomach crunches and stuff. She can get muscular; then she is more accepted at tougher bars. Or she has to feminine sexy and go to dance clubs. Also from GTA:SA, there’s buying outfits and clothing: Sports attire, clubbing attire, etc.
No there won’t be any “Soccer Mom” things. But you could do stuff like: Work the strip club. Or Work the street corner. Missions will come from different “pimps”, who decide what you do, who you do, or who to rob and kick the snot out of.
Eventually you’ll work your way up to a gangsters’ call girl. You visit clients and act pretty, and make/deliver drinks. Manipulate the clients to give you money. Till finally you reach the big boss gangster (Mrs. Soprano). Then you have to bump off the former Mrs. Soprano and become the big boss’s woman.
Behind every great man is a great woman.
Sometimes many great women. Just not at the same time.
