I'm sure this is an old idea, but GTA: MMOG

Peemps and hustla's want to MMOG too, whats the scoop on this?  I know Im not the first one to think of it, and if they did it properly, it would be the closest thing to virtual reality that is capable without sensory equipment. 

Tell me someone is developing GTA MMOG

    I first thought of this around GTA 3, thought it would be funny, but think about what you do when you get bored in the regular game, that's right shoot everyone and blow stuff up. I would imagine if they made this game everyone would be doing that, so it would be pretty pointless IMHO.

        I'd really like a GTA mmo, but it'd really be impossible, I mean, you couldn't go on the street 2 mins  without getting killed by someone. And think of all those crazy folks out there driving cars and crashing aircrafts into the ground and getting you killed? It'd be to hard to make...

    the skill level involved would be very similiar to real life, s/e dallas comes to mind, just like you said, you wouldent last 2 seconds out on the street and get shot at, so duck, dodge, grab a ride, point your heat out the window and unload til the clip out. 

    I predict it now, this will be the most successful of them all, the skill level on this would be paramount to most games, let along think of the fact that there could be many games in each store, like if you wanted to play UO for a while, go to the UO store, eq store, ac store, conquer store this list could go on forever.

    The sky is the limit with this concept.  Just wish my IT job afforded me to time to pound some code into robust material.

    Well, the game COULD be a good success if they let players be police, too, so they can arrest those who goes around and pop eachother and even be allowed to imprison em for a couple of days for killing inicent people. Wouldn't that be cool:)?

    Its in production and is expected to be released in mid 2007. The game is called APB - All Points Bulletin. From what I've gathered you can play both police and gangs and the cars that will be used are cars being released this year(GTR, 350z, g35 etc). I've been keeping my eye on this game for awhile and can't wait for it to come out.

    I heard a few months ago that the guy in charge/involved of APB was involved with GTA. I may be wrong though.

    Why is that a problem?  It definately adds to the experience.  In the mayhem of it all, you'll have a lot of fun.  From chaos comes order.  The players will band together and create a safe haven for themselves and those whom they believe to be friendly.

    Yes, the creator of GTA is behind APB - All Points Bulletin.

    Remember though, no cheats, no instant weapons, a glock 9mm would be valuable, but the glock .45 rarer, with more damage.  Grenade launchers and rocket launchers would be difficult to find. Get hit in the leg, you limp, but could get healed by a an EMT, get hit in the head you are either dead or can be revived by an ambulance medic with the highest skill in human medicine. What about k-9s as a weapon, have police and all the branches/expertists/arsenal of all professions.  True long distance sniping, guerilla type fighting, true street crime type characters, remember playing on the TI-83 graphing calculator and played dr^gwars? Incorporate that..... hustlin' of all forms.   I bet even the current engine could handle it, but of course the most realistic graphics without sacrificing occupiable geometry would be desirable. Have everything on the map destroyable as detailed as possible.  Maybe have some worlds persistant, and some worlds reset back to default every so often during the day. Have everything on the map destroyable as detailed as possible.  Just like UO, you could buy land wherever and have a home, homes that are totally customizable, not limited to 2 stories,  have skins much like Sims Livin Large, be able to create and customize skins for housing/clothing/repotoire (this could be a web-based database that would have people approve of them before they were loaded onto the server, maybe people could only have a certain amount of customizable items/skins on their character to limit server room and give more prestige.  Have items like fantasy games that give +4 Calico skill, +3 kung fu or +5% running shoes, obviously the possibilities are endless, someone just needs to compile it all. Opensource code comes to mind, to help expand ideas, again all need to be approved by the developers of the game to hit live servers.  Charge a fee to keep the worlds running, but in this day and age, it might be possible to have in game advertising all over the virtual cities and forgoe needing to pay for bandwidth.

    Ok enough rambling, Ive been waiting for something like this since GTA: Vice City emus
