The Main Character

[ARS3NAL SAVAGE]

After seeing the in game ads and hearing in game references to places like Vice City and Los Santos and Las Venturas and so on including that image thats going around with niko's name on a plane ticket to san andreas I started to wonder like everyone else if this meant downloadable cities, but then I had another thought and I wanted to see what other people who enjoy GTA might think about it, Im not saying this is something they should do, its just a thought:

I was thinking what if Rockstar decided that instead of creating a new main character for each game they could take Niko and extend his story line, making the next 2 installments apart of a trilogy featuring him as the main character, for example he could head down to vice city for a vacation but some how end up getting mixed up in criminal activity and that begins his story in vice, how would YOU as the gamer feel about that ?

Judging by the storyline's purpose and conclusion, I'd say that Niko will remain in Liberty City, he's not the type for Vice City or San Andreas anyway.

Downloadable cities won't happen, I'd safely bet. It just couldn't work if they weren't originally "packaged" into the game. A "new" city will come with a new game, however, I cannot say I wouldn't love to see a GTA feature more than one city (not like San Andreas, I'm talking San Andreas, Vice City, and Liberty City all in one big "world" where you can travel between them). As long as that would be properly executed (the "right" protagonist, story, etc), it would be incredible.

I hate to say it but niko is the second worst gta. One could even say he's the. It's like he's just so old looking and the way he acts in contrast to this time peroid is pretty bad too.

The main reason the first idea wont work is that there are different paths that the player can take in the GTA IV storyline. Would be very difficult to tie together.

I think Niko is a great character and I wouldnt mind playing as him for a second game,but maybe not a third, Has anyone played Mass Effect ? I think it would be nice if Rockstar went in the direction that game went with its character creation system and give people the ability to put there own character in the game, I wonder why they decide against a character creation system in favor of a main protagonist.

But I think taking a character and extending him into a second or even third game wouldnt be horrible, and if they wrote the dialogue well enough they could LOOSELY tie together the previous games storyline, I think thats how its been with the last generation of GTA games having loose connections in between each of them, even with the separate paths the player can take.
