Oh I get it.
A medieval version of Gran Theft Auto.

Perhaps you are all inferior to me... 8)
me?! ........ never[QUOTE="Teenaged"]No, I got the joke. It was just a stupid joke.Ah, I didnt think it was a joke. I thought his suggestion was srious but just gave a funny title for this supposed medieval version of GTA.I am surprised that no one else in the topic understood what the TC meant. Hmm...

-Chimera-
Anyway, case closed. You are all inferior to me. Just because!
:P
Um, I wasn't joking. There's no section here for "game concept suggestions", so I figured that I would put it in the off-topic section, since, well, it's kind-of off-topic.
I think it would be awesome. They made previous GTA's that take place in different time periods, so it made me come up with the idea of expanding that idea a bit further...ok, quite a bit further, like the year 1100.
I guess that, as someone said earlier, it might look and feel like an Assasin's Creed, but what I envision is much wider, broader, & free-ranging, like the GTA games. In fact, it would probably be really cool for Rockstar to pull it off, since they do seem to have experience in this sort of thing. Furthermore, it should take place in the greatest medieval metropolis of Europe. Constantinople would be perfect, because besides being a massive city in its time (still is, as Istanbul), it was also near enough to the East that the developers could draw from multiple sources to fill their themes and characters. Vikings, Turks, Bulgars, Aragonese, Slavs, Greeks, and even Mongols interacted in this setting. Furthermore, the game could draw from the intrigue, subterfuge, corruption, and conflict that the Byzantine Empire was famous for.
I really don't mean to offend anyone. It's just an idea.

you ride a horse but its gta and its in constaninoplemayforcebeyou
Ah, but it's not just a horse. Constantinople was a crossroads. The city was awash in people from all the corners of the known world. It's where East met West. The city saw a great variety of armies reach its walls; some as invaders, others are mercenaries. You would have seen Arabian & Lusitanian horses as well as the shorter & hardier horsebreeds from Eastern Europe & the Russian Steppes. You would see a great many varieties of horses to choose from. Unlike in a purely European or a purely Asian setting, in Constantinople you would bear witness to the intermingling of almost all the types of swords, axes, shields, and armor that were produced at the time. From European fullplates to the light armors of the east, the develoeprs would be able to include it all in this setting.
I really wasn't trying to make a joke, guys, this was an honest idea. If you think that it is a bad idea, then just say so, I will take no offense :)
