Admit it: You want to play "Grand Theft Auto", but you want a Christian version first, and you want it NOW. The people who make the "Guitar Hero" knock-off, "Guitar Praise", could be working on it. MTV Multiplayer asked them about it.
MTV Multiplayer: So just thinking about the core open-world gamplay, could we expect a clean, Christian version of “Grand Theft Auto” from Digital Praise?
CEO Guy: Well, that’s a very good question. Creating a game that has a lot of fun activities and stuff, that has appeal. But we would attempt to make the focus or the experience to be one that was positive...And is it ultimately fun? And so that’s the challenge of it all.
Awesome. They need ideas. How to follow up "GTA 4: Liberty City" with a Christian version? I'm just brainstorming here, off the top. Hit me with your own ideas:
Expansion Pack for "GTA 4: Liberty City": "GTA 4: Liberty CityFest with Evangelist Luis Palau"
"GTA 5: Colorado Springs" -- Players try to simultaneously hold down long-hours job at Focus on the Family while somehow keeping their own families together.
Catholic version, "GTA South Bend: Grand Theft Grotto"
"GTA 6: CCM Nashville" -- Players duel in streets to procure hair product, then battle for opening slot on yet another Third Day tour.
"GTA 7: Obamaville" -- Players unite in harmony as one as thousand-year reign of peace ensues.
New unlockable street thug characters: Bob and Larry
"GTA: Goin' to Gloryland" -- Same exact game as "GTA". Same crimes, no discernible difference in behavior, except all players believe they've got tickets to heaven.
New gameplay soundtrack: Twila Paris
"GTA 8: Grbert Goes Freakin' Crazy" (Rated M)
