This is great news i loved CJ from San Andreas i hope they make it as funny and interesting charater as him, And another thing that the site writes is that we will finally be able to feel and enjoy the things we achieve over the game like when ever our character reaches top and earn cash while getting everything straight the game ends but not this time. :D

Next GTA To Have Black Main Character.

[QUOTE="carljohnson3456"]Who cares if the main character is black? And I dont believe this news yet anyway.Silverbond

Seriously. Who pays attention to the skin color of video game character.

I'm not being touchy about the subject at all... but the TC acted like this was good news just because he also liked Carl Johnson... who was also black. I'm not implying racism at all, because I know people do that all the time and you cant say anything without getting questioned for it... I'm just saying... it's kind of pointless to get excited over a black character as if he's going to be like Carl Johnson.

I'd love to see the return of Tommy Vercetti or Carl Johnson though. It would be awesome.

I'm with you on this one, I don't care if my character is black/white/blue, that doesn't make him/her more interesting.

It's probably going to be something like that. I think Rockstar is now trying to appease the people who call them out as racists, starting with the Asian protagonist in Chinatown Wars.

No i don't think that anything should be considered racist, main character is always the most important part of the game and what will he be like is always a news.

There's been two black characters, an Italian, and whatever country Niko was from... I cant remember. If anyone is calling them racists, they are being ridiculous.

I care what my character looks like, and that includes skin colour :)

It would be fun to be a black dude again. even a heavily stereotyped one, as they're the most fun.

Or Tommy Vercetti again, he was the man.

Me too. The city was perfect, the missions were perfect, the characters were perfect... the soundtrack... the era... man that game was flawless in my opinion.

GTA IV lost the same feel as a GTA game imo, they should go back to the same vehicle physics as in San Andreas, its too realistic and not as fun in GTA IV.

Pass, if main character is black I am not buying.

I cannot stand the stupid ghetto/rap subculture that follows black characters around in games. You guys can have it.

As long as they keep the store more mafia oriented then I don't care what race the character is. With a black character though I worry it will be more street gang oriented, which I don't think is needed since Saints Row covers that area. GTA should stick with mafia oriented games and leave the street gangs to SR.

Why is it that having a black protagonist automatically means it has to be ghetto/sub culture? I'm pretty sure R* would change it up. :|

Does the characters race really mean anything? I can personally say that I don't care what the character looks like, its the way they are presented and the game itself that matters the most.

uh GrumpyWalrus im not gonna even act like i know you but, what you just said could easily be considered a bit racist. damn bro its 2009 and you cant identify with black people? at all? maybe youre just young i dunno. get out the house more dude, you must live a sheltered life man. and to say you wont play any game with a black lead is more than a little suspect. and black charachter equals gangbanger? um ok sure. Latinos and Caucasians dont run in street gangs? news to me. and screw the Mafia. as far as criminal orginazations go theyre pretty weak right now. how about a MS13 type gang now that would be something. anyway the next lead is probabley gonna be Puerto Rican a race im sure you cant identify with because they look and talk differently than you. sheesh. plus that article is BS. its all a moot point.

I loved San Andreas because I could relate to the character. There aren't many black characters in videogames now a-days and I hope the next GTA game starr a black character.

i just liked the setting. i grew up on N.W.A. so it was pretty cool seeing guys that looked like Eazy-E(R.I.P). im southern so im hoping maybe one day they,ll do a GTA version of Atlanta or New Orleans.
