efralope said:I think it's less a "hatred" for black people and more a disgust that DMA would glorify inner-city/urban culture (which is already plagued by a crime-ridden perception) since it "fits" their need for a new theme to attach to a "violent"/"mature" videogame.
While I'm sure blacks are part of the target audience, and my guess is they are going to try and target "rap music" audience (mostly middle-class white kids actually, but extending to broad demographics as well) since that's what has been "in" the past few years...

bishoptl said:Why are we discussing the soundtrack again? Holy CRAP:
- there will be multiple radio stations in GTA: SA
- previous iterations of GTA have also employed multiple radio stations
- previous iterations of GTA have provided different styles of music on these radio stations
- therefore, it's safe to expect that there will be different styles of music available for perusal in GTA:SA's multiple radio stations
I find it laughable that the ONLY TIME you people set your asses on fire and run around bemoaning the taint of rap is when the central protagonist is black. Didn't hear anything from you rabble-rousers in GTA 3...didn't hear it in Vice City. But the second the main character isn't a white guy, everybody loses their fucking minds.
Ridiculous.
I think the target audience is anyone that has $49.99

I'll probably still buy and play this game when it comes out, but I've been jonesing for a true mobster game from Rockstar. GTA3 ditched the mafia far too early in the game for my liking. The main character wasn't sympathetic at all. He didn't show loyalty to any gangs and that pissed me off.bishoptl said:No culture behind it? One could say that about Italian mob movies (not that I would, I love them) but the point still stands. Just because you're too obtuse or lack the initiative to look past the skin colour of the storytellers before labelling them as "ghetto", I too could point to the tracksuits, goombahs, bad hair, hand-waving and hair-trigger violence of Goodfellas and their ilk as indicative of Italian mob stories' lack of culture.
But I don't.

trippingmartian said:Mob movies have a romantic charm to them that you will never see in an inner-city gang story. In most mob stories the character retain pieces of their heritage through food, relatives, wine and lots of traditions. That is what I mean by culture. Some may describe hip-hop and FUBU as culture, but I am not among those who do. It's pop culture. Not the same thing.

So are inner-city gangs. Your point? We're talking about movies and video games. Are we all having the same conversation??MrAngryFace said:The REAL mob isnt like...romantic. Theyre a bunch of asshats.
