Title: Some Ideas for GTA wii
Post by: Kytim89 on May 24, 2010, 01:27:26 AM
As you all know I am a avid GTA fan. I have played and beaten all of the games for the exception of the GTA 4 and its DLC episodes. However, I do not have a HD console at the moment and the only way to enjoy the series is to replay the old games, which is something I have done to death. I would really like to see a GTA game for the wii. So, I took a bunch of notes on what I want from the game and hope to share them with everyone on this forum.
 
The game would take place in a GTA rendition of Chicago called Angler City that Borders on Lake Carcer. The name Angler refers to the shipping and fishing industry of the city. Fro example, SEars Tower would be called Roebuck Tower for thi game.
 
The story would involve a crime lord who is betrayed and framed for murder by one of his underlings. While avoiding the authorities he has to find a way to reclaim his stabding among the crime lords of Angler City. All the while he is being pursued either by police detective or FIB detective named John Marshall for what ever murder he is framed for doing. On a side note, the main character could watch TV in his safe house and witness a speciel report by Weazel News that is a spoof of America's Most Wanted that features the main character.
 
As for the weapon system, I imagine Rockstar marrying the weapon system of RE4's over the shoulder mechanics with something like that of the older GTA titles.
 
I do not see how Rockstar could falter in the graphics department. The wii is not a graphical powerhouse, but with such games as Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Fragile, No More Heroes 2, RE 4, Dead Space Extraction, Monster Hunter 3 among others shows that good games with good textures and lighting effects could be possible on the wii. It would not be HD, but it would most likely be nice to look at.
 
As for the controls, I mentioned before about the over-the-shoulder perspective of RE4 for the weapons, well how about the controls? You basically control your character th same was Travis Touchdown or Leon Kennedy. I could see Rockstar implementing motion plus controls for the game to make it stand out amongst all of the GTA clones on the wii. However, since the classic controller pro does look like a dual shock controller, Rockstar should allow the ability to use the controller in the game beside the wiimote for GTA purists.

im a big GTA fan, but i think the series has grown stale...so it coming to Wii wouldn't have much of an effect, other than when people say Wii is kiddie I could say "you know grand theft auto is on Wii", which 5 years ago would have been "oh", and now people would say "yeah, but grand theft auto sucks"

Why don't you send your GTA suggestions to Rockstar? A Nintendo fansite is pretty much the last place on Earth Rockstar would ever visit, so the odds of them hearing your suggestions here are slim to nil.

I mean, you can post them here if you want and that's perfectly in your right. I'm just politely pointing out to you that its kinda a waste of your time if no one who has the power to make it happen is around to hear it.

I guess it's resonable to suggest that Rockstar would take into account game ideas from some random kid.

Some people say that the GTA series is becoming stale, but I beg to differ. The series is still very appealing to me and I like the idea of it being on the wii for some reason. The other day I was thinking about how Rockstar is dragging its feet about bringing a GTA game to the wii.
 
As for my ideas, I just wished to share them with all of you and hear your input. I see Rockstar slapping me with a lawsuit if I were to show up at their door with something like this and I just thought it would be a way for me share what I want from the GTA for wii if it were to happen.

Kytim, have you ever played Godfather for the Wii? If you haven't I suggest you check it out. It is a very excellent GTA style game and it makes great use of the motion controls.

Yes I have heared about it and plan to buy it, but I want Rockstar to produce a GTA game for the wii. All of these other GTA wii clones are good, but I have read the reviews and they were in the 7.5 range. Chinatown wars got scores in the 9 range and this is why I want a GTA wii game because of the quality that Rockstar would put into the game.
 
The biggest question I have is could Rockstar cram a weapon and control system of RE4 with the 3rd person control of such games as NMH 2 into a giant city and make it work on the wii.

Title: Re: Some Ideas for GTA wii
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 24, 2010, 10:23:02 PM
The main games are made by Rockstar North. The PSP/DS ones were co-developed by other studios (Rockstar Leeds worked on Liberty City Stories).
Title: Re: Some Ideas for GTA wii
Post by: BeautifulShy on May 24, 2010, 10:42:33 PM
Hmm well I came across this earlier.

http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=124688

Rockstar North has a few job openings for games for the DS and Wii. Now before everybody starts proclaiming that GTA is heading to Wii I want to say that this could just Rockstar replacing some employees and doesn't have to do with GTA heading to Wii.

Has Rockstar North released any games themselves on the Wii and DS?
Title: Re: Some Ideas for GTA wii
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 24, 2010, 10:55:34 PM
None on Wii (they oversaw Manhunt 2, but Rockstar Toronto did the actual development). They did work on Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for DS, although apparently most development was done by Rockstar Leeds. So they have not done anything themselves for Wii or DS. They have not had any involvement at all with other Wii or DS games.

Rockstar Leeds or some other studio will most likely develop GTA wii while Rockstar North is definently working on the next GTA HD installment(I do not call it GTA 5). GTA wii is coming, but it is just a matter of time. I mean BnM believes that Netflix will be available for the 3DS because of the DS brand has such a large install base. The wii has a large install base and Rockstar will try to capitalize on it with GTA wii.

Here are some the gangs that inhabit Angler City:

Angels of Death
Lost Biker Club
Gangster Apostles
Spanish Lords
various others

I liked Godfather Wii edition better than any GTA game I've ever played, though granted I've never played GTA IV so I can't comment on that. Godfather came out on other systems such as the PS2 and PSP, but the Wii edition is the best by far and I don't know if reviewers gave it a 7 or whatever, but I would give it a 9 easily.

I watched some videos about the game on youtube and was very impressed. Impressed enough to buy the game when I get some cash. However, the graphics seem to b early wii quality and want a GTA game mainly because of the graphical quality of some the recent games such as Monster Hunter 3 and Shattered Memories to just name a few. I appreciate you recommending the game the game to me though.
 
Another idea would be a radio and TV station advertising clothing made out of hemp. The commercial hints that people are actually smoking the clothing rather than weraing it. One guy cliams that it is twenty below zero and he is freezing because he smoked his clothing. ;D ;)

Porting GTA IV would be a pain, porting the other GTA games is more likely...but those games are old. It will go from the Wii is kiddie debate to the Wii looks like ass debate.

Rockstar developing the game from scratch, or the ground up seems more logical. As for porting the older games, I have beaten them to death and in some way the wii is a current generation system so if a GTA wii were to come out it would be set in the GTA 4 universe. One reason Rockstar may not be developing the game is the various other GTA clones on the system, but motion plus controls could make the trhe different from all the other games. A GTA 4 port to the wii would be much worse than that of Dead Rising and we all know how that turned out.

If the Wii were going to get ports of any of the last gen games they would have come out by now, and any hopes of a Wii-specific installment died along with the sales of Chinatown Wars. This just isn't going to happen.
Title: Re: Some Ideas for GTA wii
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 25, 2010, 12:35:51 PM
Sales of the DS game increased overtime, and have certainly been higher than the PSP port.

The DS ggames sales were slow, but paid off in the long run. Rockstar just has to have patience with the sales of the game. A game out selling its port on a non-Nintendo console says enough that a wii GTA could be viable, but it is a matter of timing. With all of the other quality third party games coming out on the wii Rockstar could make this game ver speciel.

Yes, l try those games out once I have a chance. However, these games will satisfy my GTA craving for a short period of time. I need the actual thing.
 
I would like to hear what all of you would want from an actual GTA wii game what ideas for content. For example, the game would have a radio host named John Preck who is actually a parody of Glenn Beck. Preck is constantly eating chocolate on the show. Everything from cand y bars to giant chocolate cakes, which he eats by himself much to chagrin of his co-hosts. He also fear mongers and has to sit on ab inflatable doughnut due to hemmoroids. This is what I mean by content.

How can we know? Rockstar North has never actually made a game for the Wii, it would be like saying Insomniac Games has no idea how to make games for the Wii.

Rockstar leeds would be the studio most likely to develop GTA wii. After all they did develop Chinatown Wars which would make them fairly familar with a Nintendo console. With all of the quality third party games coming out on wii there is no excuse for why this game is not being produced.
Title: Re: Some Ideas for GTA wii

The DS and Wii are two completely different systems. A better lead would be to look at any Gamecube work the studio has done because of the similarity GC has to Wii.

Did they even develop for the Gamecube? The Gamecube era was when the major PS2 installments were coming out.

Angler City would have its own newspaper called "Angler Sun-Times" and one of its headlines woul say, "Unemployment in Carcer City is now above fifty-percent."

Do you mean Rockstar North specifically? If so, the last game on a Nintendo system that they personally developed was Space Station Silicon Valley for Nintendo 64 in 1999 (back when they were known as DMA Design).

Yes, I was thiking of Rockstar as a whole and forgot the smaller companies making handheld version of their franchise. But they never developed for the Gamecube and by developing for the wii they could make up for it to the fans.

Maybe,  its going to be a Body Harvest Sequel/Remake :P

actually that would be so kickass. Body Harvest with decent graphics/presentation/controls would be like GTA but better.
Or maybe Rockstar is just developing San Andreas/vice city for 3DS...

Here are a list of weapons for the game:
 
Handgun
Desert Eagle
Revolver
Pump Shotgun
Combat Shotgun
Sawd-off double barrel
MP5
Micro uzi
MP7
P90
M4 carbine
Ak-47
RPG
LAW missle launcher
flame thrower
minigun
M60
sniper rifles
grenades
molotov cocktails
satchel charges
brass knuckles
ball bat
crow bar
fisticuffs
 
Due to the wii's graphical weakness, could Rockstar make the game not as powerful as the HD GTA games, but much bigger than the previous generation's GTA games?

polygons have to be dropped, shaders have to be turned off. The Wii is capable of better than GTA:SA graphics because gamecube games like resident evil 4 had better graphics. The trade-off though for that game was scale, white RE4 is prettier, the levels were nowhere near as large as the PS2/Xbox GTA games. Wii might be powerful enough to pull off an re4 on a gta3 level size scale.

All I want is one city for the game instead of two or three. Basically I want to control the character in the same manor as Leon in RE4, but with traditional GTA controls. I mainly want the over the should wiimote cursor weapon system that RE4 wii edition had for the game for targetting enemies and the z button on the nunchuck could be used for lock-on targetting.
 
As for the city itself, I want something slightly bigger than Los Santos in San Andreas, but with the graphical scale of some of the recent third party wii games. Good lighting effects are plus as well. They could pool it off if Rockstar was willing to put the effort into the game. I mean look at Monster Hunter 3, that game's graphics and sheer scale of its environments is a clear sign that a GTA wii game can be pulled off.

What makes you think that? I have seen plenty of video of RDR and read reviews, and it seems like an OK game at best. I know I have zero interest in the game, it doesn't come close to being as good or interesting as GTA IV.

That's a bit like comparing apples and oranges. Similar games, yes, even in the same genre, but the timeframe in which either game is set is extremely different. Some people prefer a modern setting and some prefer a wild western setting, but neither game fills both niches so there is plenty of room for both.

With the success of GTA 4 proves that Rockstar knows how to make a competent game. REd DEad Revolver is just another game with the GTA style and there is nothing wrong with that at all. I am just complaining that Rockstar has the potential to make GTA wii the strongest third party game available if they just put fourth the effort. One thing thing that could draw them out though is the amount of credible thrid party games that have been released on the wiiin the past two years.

it doesn't come close to being as good or interesting as GTA IV.

Red Dead Redemption is a better game than GTA in all forms. It is all the good parts of GTA and none of the bad parts, with more stuff than any GTA game has ever had in it, and all the stuff that's there is actually fun to do and won't make you want to stab yourself with toothpicks after the third time you do it.

Rockstar learns from all their games, and Red Dead Redemption shows it moreso than any of the GTA games, being a culmination of everything that was tried and experimented with in them.

I'm not sure how bad you are at GTA IV, but I never had to retry any mission more than once. RDR does not look at all interesting to me, story wise or gameplay wise. I also doubt it has more stuff than GTA IV considering how much stuff was in there (and how great that game was).

Rockstar was certainly in the their A game when they produced GTA 4. I just want them to bring that A game to the wii. Basically I want the game as pretty as RE 4 wii addition and the other third party wii games, but with a city the size of Los Santos in San Andreas.

Because "stuff" means "missions," right? There are a number of non-story related things you can do in GTA4, and most of them are incredibly boring. Bowling and all those game suck. The vigilante missions are not anywhere near as fun or dynamic as the bounties in Red Dead Redemption. Paramedic and taxi missions are the same thing as in every GTA game, and they were always kind of touch and go. The whole friendship thing was awesome if you loved playing the terrible minigames over and over again.

Quote
RDR does not look at all interesting to me, story wise

Because you can possibly know the story without playing the game. After all, watching several four-minute video reviews of a game that's easily 15-20 hours long will tell you everything you need to know about all the characters and situations in the game, the quality of the writing, and the finesse with which pertinent themes and allusions were embedded in a story that takes place a hundred years ago.

or gameplay wise.

Okay, so you don't like GTA?

[/quote]I also doubt it has more stuff than GTA IV considering how much stuff was in there[/quote]

Well I sure am glad that you, having never touched the game in your entire life, and with no plans to ever do so, think that you know more about what is or isn't in the game than somebody who has sunk well over ten hours into it so far.

I suspect that you just have a bug up your butt about things with a western theme.
Title: Re: Some Ideas for GTA wii
Post by: TJ Spyke on May 27, 2010, 05:58:39 PM
No, I loved Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood. A game should be able to show in a few minutes why it's worth picking up, RDR fails to give me a good reason to play it. From all that i've seen and read on it, nothing about it seems better than GTA IV.

Of your GTA IV complaints, the only one I would even slightly agree on is friendships (which is why I also hated the dating thing in GTA: SA, although it's not as bad in GTA IV), but there is no penalty to ignoring them once you unlocked their stuff.
Title: Re: Some Ideas for GTA wii
Post by: Kytim89 on May 27, 2010, 07:12:02 PM
Would all of you prefer a dating or friendship minigame in a GTA wii game if it was to be done right? I could imagine Rockstar working in friend codes for something like this. They could also sqeeze in wii speak some how as well to enhance the game. 
 
If the game were to have a training mission where the player learns how to target enemies in the game, perhaps you could use the faces of your miis saved on the wii for target practice.
 
Lastlty, I compiling and brain storming some ideas for the story and Angler City itself to share with all of you for this forum.

The problem Kytim is within the confines of the GTA world a GOOD friendship sim would be out of place.  I won't get into somehow that Nico works for every competing crime family in the city and somehow doesn't get his feet cut.  Even if they fixed the games into something playable the next time around, I don't want to spend 10-15 on a girls night out with Roman to get a free taxi ride.

I originally came here from the Bioware forum and I often talked about some of the stuff that I do here, but the forum's off topic eventually expired by Bioware and we were only allowed to talk about Bioware centric games.

i had/have gta3 for the pc and it was fun, but after playing gta4 the series has grown stale, not saying it was a bad game, but it was like the old game with some new features and great graphics. Thats why Red Dead Revolver or Body Harvest would be more awesome, because of the change of setting. However , i believe Midway now owned by Warner Bros owns the rights to Body Harvest, but a GTA game where it starts off as a GTA game and aliens then attack would be awesome.

Here are some of my Fanfictional ideas for the GTA wii game:
 
Angler City would border a giant lake called Lake Carcer. The lake is filled with pollutants such as mercury and one radio host jockingly asks if the tainted water of Lake Carcer is responsible for making Carcer City such a cesspool. Carcer City is from the first Manhunt Game, which is also developed bu Rockstar.
 
The story would center around a crime boss named Marcus Sinclair who is overthrown and betrayed by a younger and more ambitious gangster name Bobby Nash. Marcus has sense of honor for a gang leader and controls the Angler Syndicate, but Nash is more tyranical and wasteful of the gangs resources. The story would revolve around Marcus recliaming his empire seeking revenge against the people who betrayed him.

One of the side missions would involve Marcus reclaiming all of his vintage cars that Nash sold to various gangsters, dealerships and private citizens around Angler City.

I am going to compile a list of various other characters for this project in short period of time, as well.

how bout you start off and theres like this giant dinosaur like creature, and he runs around the city polluting it, and then you have to fight like these venus fly traps, and giant squids. You get this backpack, and its like a combination jetpack/firehose and it allows you to clean the city.

I had the idea that one mission would involve the player working for a corrupt doctor who owns a clinic that is actually a front for a drug cartel. The cartel uses the clinic as a way to distribute their products across the city.
 
The main villian of the story would have two henchmen who bare a strinkingly familiar appearance to two plumbing brothers from a certain Nintendo franchise.
 
There would also be a character called the "Informant" who has a tendacy to snitch on just about anyone for the right amount of money. He works for the antagonist of the story and the hero eventually kills him on a mission.
 
Here are some of the gangs of Angler City:
 
Southside Saints
Gangster Apostles
Triads
Yakuza
Main character's gang
 
Making a return from GTA 4:
 
Angels of Death(Angler City chapter)
Lost MC(Angler City chapter)
Uptown Riders
Spainsh Lords

Did I forget to mention that the main character should be voiced by Steven Blum, the same actor who voiced Jack in Madworld.

Angler City would often be called the "Gusty City."
 
Here are some of m ideas for radio advertisements for products:
 
A spray on tan that is actually a carcinogen.

Here are some of my ideas for the missions of the game:
 
Disco Inferno: The main character uses fire based weapons to burn down several of the main villian's night clubs and protected buisnesses to get a message across to him that the hero is out for revenge.
 
The Road Dealer: In a parody of the Road Warrior, the main character is contracted by a gang leader to drive a tanker truck full of drugs across Angler City to a warehouse while defending it from the marauding gangs of the city. Eventually the tanker is destroyed and it is found that the truck was a decoy and that the gang leader transported the drugs via helicopter.
 
Icing the Snitch: The main character tracks down and kills the Informant by driving his car into Lake Carcer.

this makes me think of when I was in 10th or 11th grade and I was spamming the Konami boards explaining that Metal Gear Solid could be made for n64, and came up with all sorts of crazy ways they could do it.

I am using this more or less as a stress releaver.

They're not bad ideas. I know we bust your balls, but you should write them down. Me and my friend at school used to come up with ideas all the time for "the game", which was an mmorpg, but a lot of the ideas were created to save bandwidth. The game was more about real-estate conquest/organizing factions than leveling up. I've got some pretty new sweet ideas for a mmorts game, but i will not divulge.

The wiimote speaker could act as a cell phone like it did in No More Heroes. It could also act as a sound source for the radio, or the TV could as well, and maybe a police scanner for free roaming. I just see so much potential in this game that it is worth talking about.

I've got a big old binder with a lot of old notes from my days of aspiring to start a dev studio in high school. It's funny to go back and look at them again. some ideas were crazy, some are already used now in games and some still seem pretty cool and original. Makes we want to try again.
