The games are more fun as they stand. Although if he thinks they are structurally complex he's confusing how do we order some random missions with how do we structure something like Casino - i.e. no element of any GTA story I've seen is structurally complex next to a genuinely structurally complex movie. As for massive scope, if he means the city and drawn distance fine, but again I really hope he doesn't mean artistic scope. So, yes please, keep them as games and don't ruin all the 'story's as good as the Godfather' hype by making a movie which would only make it abundantly clear that it's not. Sounds sensible.

Just take all the best parts and make it over the top. Then again I wouldn't have millions riding on that idea. Couldn't be any worse than a lot of the other crap out there. @ecu Actually a Scary Movie type movie might work. Just take all the best parts and make it over the top.

If it was anything like GTA IV, people would only moan is was repetitive anyway. Good on ‘em. If it was anything like GTA IV, people would only moan is was repetitive anyway.

GTA parodies movies anyway, so you'd end up with a Scary Movie type scenario, where you're a parody of a movie (Scream) that was already a parody of a movie [genre]. I completely agree.
