Title: Joining a Clique in the Sequel
Post by: Parker Ogilvie on June 03, 2013, 04:51:06 PM
Just out of interest, in the event of a sequel, would anyone want the ability to potentially join one of the cliques? Or do you prefer to have more of an indiscriminate protagonist?

I was just thinking that it could be an interesting concept to actually join one of the cliques. This could perhaps unlock a series of extra missions in your chosen cliques favour as a plot twist, as well as various bonus lockable depending on the clique you join, such as the Nerd clique giving you a wider arsenal, the Preppy clique giving you a huge, lavish safehouse or the Greaser clique giving you a variety of new vehicles?

I suppose extra missions could involve moving your clique further up the schools pecking order with great difficulty from the rival clique(s)

Of course the game mechanics would be altered to what clique you join such as you unable to accidentally harm fellow members unless deliberately locking onto them and rival clique members attacking you on site.

I know the game immediately portrays every cliques as being as nasty and malevolent as possible in the original game but I just think it could be a pretty fun twist on the game, although I'm just fantasising here, there are some good points to having a neutral protagonist.

What are your thoughts?

Seeing as what they have done with RE6, it should be possible to have up to 5 separate games where you could join each clique in turn and have specific missions targeted to that Clique.  That would be a great idea.

No...I want teamwork with the player character from the various cliques...I would also like to see flashback missions in each clique.

Also, if possible, to have an all-girl game mode.

I think it can be made as an optional decision in the game, I mean that you can join a clique or not.

I would like to have the ability to join a clique like you have said but also in turn you can join another clique to take out the one you first joined

With the plot I have, Joining the Jocks is inevitable, but its gonna be like his relationship with the Bullies. He is top dog of them, but is still more stand offish.

I think I'd prefer a neutral mediator.  It would be hard to make a single protagonist whose personality would allow them to fit in with any clique, unless they turned the game into an RPG of some sort.

^ An RPG with Bully could be an amazing experience. However, I don't know how R* would handle an RPG, but I think that if done right, it could be one awesome game. Although, I'm sure an RPG game done by Rockstar could no doubt be a great game..... Would be interesting to see how R* would take on that kind of a task.

I like this suggestion. It also elicits a reason to do multiple playthroughs of the game; you'd be able to see the different story arcs depending on what clique you choose to align yourself with.

I think this might be a very cool idea, since it would give the game such a great replay value if executed properly.
The only problem is that there might be a shorter storyline, since they would have to make missions for each clique.

They should do it like one of those games that makes you have decision paths. And that affects the outcome of the game. I only really see them doing this if they have a new character. I WANT JIMMY!

If I recall correctly, Jimmy was supposed to be an antoganist and cruel Bully.
They changed that concept to your standard hero, I guess.

Yep, when it first became Jimmy looked like trailer trash.
