Do you think apple would accept a GTA game?

Yea, cause of Payback and CJS

 

yea, that game is way too mature for the app store

 

I'd say no if there were no double standards with Apple's approving process.

If Apple's smart though they'd let a big name developer make this game, they'd accept it, and they'd get the cheese.

 

Unless Rockstar releases a dumbed-down/cleaner version of GTA, which I doubt they will, it is hard to believe that Apple would allow it. But who knows, rumor goes that Apple shows favoritism to the big names, they might let it through.

 

+1 There are currently more violent and disturbing games on the App store, so I think Apple would approve a GTA, but probably give it a high age rating. But if Rockstar got their act together and Apple got a whiff of that cheese, then something beautiful could happen.

 

Can you name one game in the app store that is more disturbing than GTA?
Name one game that is more disturbing than walking up behind somebody and cutting their throats with a knife. I think that game is sick (not in a good way).

Games like CJS and Payback arent disturbing in my opinion, because of there cartoonish nature.

 

I was talking to some apple employees at an iPhoneDev conference. They said that post 3.0 they're allowing mature content on the appstore, and the only reason why was because of parental controls!

 

Hysteria is sick and disturbing and generally messed up. What is more disturbing than being tie up with duct tape in a creepy shed then trying to escape through woods while being chased by hooded men with axes that want to kill you.

Mr Smith is an app which allows you to torture a 3D guy, chuck him about, kick him in the nuts, lacerate him with 3ft spikes etc etc.

Payback has plenty of blood splatters when you shoot/run over/blow up people.

'Dexter' when it comes out will involve you being a serial killer and creeping up behind people before slashing their throats or stabbing them with a pen.

There are more games with lot's of violence on the App Store, I just can't remember them.

 

I never understood the disbelief among some people that Rockstar would make a GTA for a Nintendo system, because, y'know...they'd already done that in the past.

There were versions of GTA 1 and 2 on Game Boy Color (albeit toned down), and there was an all new, all original GTA made for GBA (Grand Theft Auto Advance) that actually was relatively uncut as far as violence was concerned.

LBG got there before me

The recent GTA game on DS had "cartoony" graphics (ironically enough, purposely done - cel shaded polygons FTW!). And past GTA titles were top down view affairs with pre-rendered sprites (how Donkey Kong Country graphics were done).

And GTA isn't "disturbing" because it never, until very recently perhaps, took itself seriously. The game is a giant parody of American violence. It's gore reminds me of Troma movies (Toxic Avenger): so over the top as to be silly.

For an example of a Rockstar developed game that is actually disturbing go play Manhunt. That game takes itself seriously and is very graphic.

 

They would accept it because they accept rip-offs like CJS and payback. GTA would attract many people to their idevice so yes they would accept it.

 

I hope they would. Even though I never see this happening.

 

So that one Ninja Dictionary gets a 17+ rating for havin' swear words,

Wolfenstein gets a 12+ and it has a bunch of swastikas and bloody nazis, and that Samurai: Way of the Warrior is rated 9+ and has people getting chopped in half like....well, like people getting chopped in half, and big blood sprays, etc.

My guess is that GTA gets a 4+ rating. Or whatever rating is comparable.

 

I think they would accept it,
Since they accepted Gang$tar from Gameloft

 

As long as it doesnt have nudity, explict sex, i think it will make it.
