i remember reading an artical where the maker of saint's row explains why the game couldn't have planes. something about 360 not being able to handle or stream the data... something like that. i searched but can't find the artical, if anyone could find the artical or knows what i'm talking about thats cool. i just think the whole 9/11 thing is an excuse and rockstar doesnt want to admit they can't do it. just a thought i had not trying to flame or anything cause 360 rules and i'm sure as hell getting gta4 when it comes out.

They did it because GTAIV is set in one city, and there wouldn't be anywhere to fly to. Unlike in SA where there were threee seperate cities, and large landscapes between them, it made travel faster.

Ok look at it from a point of view from somebody who lost someone on 9/11.  You just start getting over it and then you go on youtube and the #1 viewed clip of the day is someone reenacting it as a cruel joke.  (btw i didn't lose someone on 9/11 just look at it from that angle)  Imagine your Girlfriend/boyfriend/mother/father/child being brutally murdered then seeing a video online that reenacts it to try to praise or get a laugh out of it.

Imagine watching all those F****** movies that had to do something with 9/11 and you lost someone, imagine watching titanic and you lost someone.... IT'S A VIDEO GAME!!! how in the hell can it be a cruel joke! It's not real! I lost my uncle to skin cancer, I don't role up in a ball when someone mentions skin cancer..

Movie are more main-stream, and making movie off 9/11 is just freaking stupid... and you can't recreate it anyways,t's not new york, take-two won't be stupid enough to have the twin towers in there... o.k. o.k. I'm done, I'm calm there's 2 things I can't stand generalising people and idiots

I agree that it would suck, but the rest of the world didn't lose somebody. To say that it's wrong to show that kind of video is just your point of view. There a about 6 and a half billion points of view in the world, 90% don't agree. If anyone doesn't like it, someone else does.

your comparing a disease and a movie that shows the terribleness of 9/11 and comparing it to somebody glorifying your loved one's death.  The people that died on 9/11 were murdered they didn't die of natural causes. I'm sorry for your loss but your uncle died of natural means.  He wasn't bombed by an exremeist.  If you can't see how this could affect people than your a very inconsiderate person that doesn't realize that there are still people in this world today who don't function the same due to 9/11.  In 2002 this move by R* would be looked on as a smart thing a considerate thing, somehting that epole would respect them for.  Why should it not be that way today?  Did the people in those buildings not die on 9/11/2001? Is there loss to be forgotten?  What's in the past as in the past but you areshaped by what occurs in your everyday life and this should be something that greatly shapes the people of this nation.  Not something that we forget about till 9/11 comes around the next year.

Bulls**t or is it being thoughtful and respectful to some 3,000 people who died? Plus the city is modeled after NYC so I think maybe it is the right thing to do...

Is hollywood getting rich off any damn incidents, Titanic, Twister, 9/11.... who gives a **** if it's natural or not... fact of the matter is anything is bound to offend one person, maybe we should start worrying about animal cuelty, poverty, social living instead of a motherf****** video game and then a video from a game being top video on youtube... seriously open your mind cause this is a stupid problem that media focus WAY too much on, while innocent animals are getting killed, innocent people are getting tortured, people are dying from poverty... these are all things we can stop, 9/11 is behind us.. too late to do anything about it

people have had family members murdered. should they take out the shooting? they have had people die in car accidents. should they take out the collisions of motor vehicles? they have ruined lives due to drug addiction, should they take out that aspect too?

you cant try to cater to some people if you arent going to cater to all. It happened, get over it.

He wasn't bombed by an exremeist.o_sausage

well, can you prove that it was an extremeist? I mean, theres alot of facts that have been laid out, and questions still unanswered...like, wheres the plane that was meant to hit the pentagon? why, when u play the footage of the plane about to crash into the building do u see flames on the INSIDE of the cockpit b4 the plane even hits? y does the plane have the ability to be controlled remotely? and lastly, it wasnt even a commercial plane....

simply, u cant say it was extremeist and you cant say it was.

Dont get me wrong, I think it was one of the worlds biggest tragedies that should never have happened. and if it was indeed done by MR bush himself then that just makes it all that more worse that he thinks that little of his own people that he needs to murder 5000 odd to justify to go to afghanistan and then iraq for the oil..no WMD. yes saddam was a bad person but it had nothing to do with him, he was just carrying on his fathers vendetta....

/end rant.

EDIT: just cause Al quieda claimed it, doesnt mean they did it.. thats like bill gates saying he invented the first pc..no, apple did..he just reverse engineered the software and called it windows.

why are people complaining about not having planes. i bet u spend about 75% of your time or more running, walking, or driving cars/motrocycles and maybe 25% using planes/boats. gta 4 doesnt need it. planes arent that big of a deal.

its definatly a partial reason. gta 4 is set in a city that looks a lot like nyc. has all the key buildings and what not. rockstar gets a enough bs from thompson, they dont need more with putting in planes and having people 9/11 the empire state building even though useally in the gta games all that blows up in a plane crash is the plane.

and when you add 9 + 1 + 1 you get 11 and when you add 1 + 1 you get 2 and when you smoke 2 much pot you start thinking our government is capable of an impossible conspiracy theory like purposefully flying planes into the twin towers to get support to go to war... The only thing they are guilty of is letting it happen in the first place: sleeping on the job, shifting the blame then capitalizing on it afterwards, that's all... oh wait.. that's pretty Eff'd up

Its lame that we can't have planes just because it's set in New York and a terrorist attack happened. Yes, yes, people lost family, it was a terrible tragedy, but at the same time, are you going to let terrorists cramp your ability to enjoy a game? If terrorists hijacked a thousand cars in NY and drove them into the Empire State Building would GTA lose cars?

Dude let's just end it, I know all you want to do is argue with me but I won't. You complaining about some game that doesn't even have that feature IN IT nor is it even out yet, is just making you look insane like Jack Thompson. Sorry I brought him up

Im not trying to argue, you asked a question I answered it.. you asked another I answered that. people believe what they want to believe, opinions are opinions. I didnt complain about a single thing. you obviously dont even know what you are trying to "not argue with me" about. he made a statement, which was really an assumption. statements are usually fact, assumptions are a perception + an opinion. I was just asking him how he knew it was an extremeist..dude..move on.. dont start something u cant finish in an adult manner.

plus if they did allow planes no doubt it would get banned within the first month of release, i mean the mayor of NYC is already pissed to hell, if there were planes, it wouldn't matter what buildings are there or not, some idiot out there would post a vid of him/her reinacting it...eventually creating the doom for Take-Two.

Censorship is wrong, for ANY reason. I don't care how pissed people get. Let me get this straight, it's okay to publish books about *anything* (the marquis de sade's writing anyone? hannibal? c'mon), movies can be about anything - but all of a sudden it's not okay to show a plane hit a building?

The terrorists have won when we support cenorship - ANY cenorship. Free speech means that we don't stop publishing things just because they're offensive. The reason they didn't put planes in the game is fear that they would face persecution - but that persecution should be illegal. In fact, it is, but the legal fees that would face to defend their constitutional (and according to our constitution god-given) right to free speech would be insane.

It is disrespectful to the memory of the dead Americans in 9/11 that we would support cenorship. They died because they lived in a country that supposedly supports freedom - freedoms people like Hiliary Clinton want to take away by forcing government regulation of the gaming industry. 

 

In fact - look at the most insane claim of all - the (obviously false) claim that the Bush Administration perpetuated 9/11. Do I think that's insane? Absolutely. I think you have to completely ignore engineering in favor of a film major who makes a video for YouTube based on his own personal bias and shody pseudo-science to believe that sort of thing - but I will defend to the death your right to make, view, and believe that 9/11 was a conspiracy. I am glad to live in a country where someone can accuse the adminstration of blowing up 3000 of their own citizens, and that right is protected by law.

look all i'm saying is that Take-Two is already under the watchful eye of congress, any slip will probably cost them the game, let alone the company. But if we only have to lose the feature of flying in this game in order for it to come out, i'm not complaining, especially if it has online multiplayer :D

Ok, I few things.

I believe your right that part of the decision of not including planes did include the fact that it was in New York City. BUT, I don't think Rockstar would of changed their mind about it all because it IS in one city. Would you just like to fly around New York, crash into a building, and say "9/11!"? I wouldn't to be honest, and even if you would, there should be heli's in there that can do that  do that.

It's kind of sick how I see some of my friends, when they crash into buildings in San Andreas, at first they were all like "9/11!" thinking it was a joke. I never found it funny that a lot of people died that day, and I also don't think this had much to do with Rockstar's decision, beside the fact they'd have a crapload of lawyers trying to sue them (which will probably happen even with heli's).

 

Just my 2 cents.

It bothers me in a way that makes me support anarchists and libertarians. How wrong is it that a game company has to censor itself simply because a vocal minority with lunatics like Hiliary Clinton are "offended". The same people who claim to be "liberals" - people who support the rights of EVERYONE (abortion, gay marriage, et cetera) are PRO-CENSORSHIP?

It makes no sense to me, when did the government gain the right to be the watchdog of morality? Where did we go so far wrong that a feature has to removed from a videogame simply because someone *might* pilot a virtual plane into a virtual building and it could piss someone off?

What if I fly a plane into a building in Microsoft Flight Simulator? *gasp* Lawsuit! Y'know what? OBJECTION! I reject this regulationist nonsense.

This is only the beginning - this is why young people really need to get out and vote, and why we need to stop mindlessly believing the people currently in charge of *both* parties. Gamers need to stand up to politicians. Frankly, I think we should dismantle the FCC and put its employees on trial for treason, but then I'm opposed to the regulationists who care more about public opinion than our right to express the freedoms granted to us in the constituition.

My great-grandfather was killed for the beliefs I currently hold, he was the major of a town in Austria, when the Nazis came and killed him because he refused to roll over for them. They killed him and raped my grandmother. Now I listen to people who espose the same regulationist facism in the guise of "morality" and "protecting our children" in a country that claims to be free...

There is no excuse for supporting this type of censorship. ALL cenorship is wrong. If you want something cenorsed because it offends you - you DO NOT support free speech.

Ok look at it from a point of view from somebody who lost someone on 9/11. You just start getting over it and then you go on youtube and the #1 viewed clip of the day is someone reenacting it as a cruel joke. (btw i didn't lose someone on 9/11 just look at it from that angle) Imagine your Girlfriend/boyfriend/mother/father/child being brutally murdered then seeing a video online that reenacts it to try to praise or get a laugh out of it.o_sausage

It's just BS they made up because they cannot do this due to some technical issue. For one thing they could add planes to the game but simply not allow you to blow up buildings if you hit one. Other thing is that you don't have to play the game or go to you tube. Why would you go looking for something that you konw would upset you anyway?

[QUOTE="o_sausage"]He wasn't bombed by an exremeist.darksusperia

well, can you prove that it was an extremeist? I mean, theres alot of facts that have been laid out, and questions still unanswered...like, wheres the plane that was meant to hit the pentagon? why, when u play the footage of the plane about to crash into the building do u see flames on the INSIDE of the cockpit b4 the plane even hits? y does the plane have the ability to be controlled remotely? and lastly, it wasnt even a commercial plane....

simply, u cant say it was extremeist and you cant say it was.

Dont get me wrong, I think it was one of the worlds biggest tragedies that should never have happened. and if it was indeed done by MR bush himself then that just makes it all that more worse that he thinks that little of his own people that he needs to murder 5000 odd to justify to go to afghanistan and then iraq for the oil..no WMD. yes saddam was a bad person but it had nothing to do with him, he was just carrying on his fathers vendetta....

/end rant.

EDIT: just cause Al quieda claimed it, doesnt mean they did it.. thats like bill gates saying he invented the first pc..no, apple did..he just reverse engineered the software and called it windows.

Not this crazy conspiracy theory again! Is it really that hard for you Americans to realize that just maybe a large part of the world hates you and wants you all to die? Do you realize why there is so much hate? It sure isn't because they are jealous that you have freedom (lol even China probably has more freedom than US), they hate you because your government and military is terrorizing their countries and causing massive death and destruction. You really should try to look from the outside in for a change. The "terrorists" are not a tfault for 9/11, YOUR GOVERNMENT IS THE CAUSE OF TERRORISM!

Are you stating that America was bombed on 9/11 because we kill and terrorize other countries? I believe we started the Iraq war AFTER we were bombed.

Yes, there were other instances before... But, if they hated us so much to bomb us because we are terrorizing the world... When, at the time, we werent'.... Then that doesn't make much sense to me.

this is just plain stupid.  many people over past years have beeen killed in gang violence,gotten carjacked, and other s**t and were complete victims.   the number of people who have fallen victim to this type of stuff way exceedes the number of people killed in 9/11 and is still occurring to this day.  just get over it people.  people die and they always will.  planes will be crashed and have been crashed.  get over it.

I do completely agree... But I also feel that somewhere along those lines there has to be a line to cross... If you are going to have all of those freedoms, you have to find someway to make sure they don't go to far. If there is no censorship, that means that people can show a pornographic film in a daycare, and no one can do a damn thing about it. Would that be a good thing?

I completely agree that it is stupid to support this kind of censorship in games... but I especially believe it's wrong because it's got the rating on it aswell. To ban such games... We may as well ban all books, movies, history, news, and hell, even the ability to TALK violent.

I just believe that there has to be SOME KIND of censorship or some kind of limit and control over what we show to whom.

I think the 9/11 thing is absolutely stupid.

A man can make a movie documentary about a government conspiracy (Ferinheit 911) and the government doesn't really give a crap... But yet, we can't put a plane in a SORT of new york like city because we are afraid some stupid kid is going to reinact the disaster?

Didn't United 93 and World Trade Center (both depecting different views of the tragedy) both reinact the same thing they are trying to ban in a video game?

If a company wants to input a plane in a virtual world that LOOKS SIMILAR to New York city.. then I don't see a reason not to. 

As mentioned before... We may as well take out all guns, cars, drugs, fighting, gangs, roads, buildings, air, sun, food, and water from the game... Since people get killed from guns constantly, get run over or die in a car wreck all the time, overdose on drugs, die in a fist fight, get killed by gangs or in gang wars, can crash, earthquakes cause buildings to tremble, air has pollution and second hand smoke which can kill, sun can cause skin cancer, unhealthy food causes heart attacks, and water can drown people.

So... Looks like... Games are done for?
