Poll: Would you like to play a video game set in your hometown/city?

Large village in England with a population of about 6000? Why would you not make a game about that, that'd be awesome! (this post contains limited sarcasm).
Small tourist and wine town in the south west of Australia as the setting for a survival horror game?
It would work and I would probably like it.
The game will touch on issues that affect small towns like alcoholism, road deaths and ignorance.
It would be an awesome game.
In fact I'm going to sketch up some concept art.

The game starts with a cut scene of you sitting in the back of a car, no dialogue just your mother and father in the front seats quiet. This is when your car gets side swiped by a truck and everything fades to black. Right after you wake up at your desk, at school. this is where you learn about the kid you're playing but after about 20 minutes of playing, while in class all the people disappear and you're stuck in an augmented reality, alone.
You have to solve puzzles and deal with the personifications of your fears and problems like your fathers alcoholism, mothers depression, best friends death, boyfriends betrayal (o yer you're a girl) and your own death as you figure out you died in that car accident and that this is a second chance at life, but you have to decide whether you truly want to go back.
You will never actually figure out whether you were just in a coma or if it was something else but after seeing this girls life through metaphors you will decide whether she'll be better of dead or alive.

As someone from Melbourne, you could probably see me posting this from your two heads. XDZhukov said:
Yes, Melbourne you be a great place for a game.
Hmm. What to do with Perth? Driving in the city is usually a pain, so a GTA game might not work in there. There isn't a huge amount of crime here, but considering the bikies we hear about in Western Australia, I wouldn't mind a Crackdown-like game being set here. Good luck having the agent climb the Westpac building, though.
I know this is a long shot, but by any chance are you talking about Corrales?Lucem712 said:I don't think it'd be terribly interesting, though it would be interesting to a native and kind of freaky, also.
This is what the game would look like set in small town, NM.
OT: Probably not. The most we have to offer around here is Albuquerque, which isn't much compared to other cities. I think "Breaking Bad" is pretty much the most excitement that fictional media is going to get out of us.
Only if it was a zombie game and I could kill all the old people moving around town blocking up the paths at 0.00001 miles an hour, stopping every so often to look in shops they have absolutely no interest in.
Home town? Hell, no, unless it was a small-town psychological horror game in the Silent Hill vein.
Where I live now? Absolutely. I live in southeast London, and I would love to see a Grand Theft Auto game set here. (I know they already did one, but that was before GTA 3, and I want a full-on 3D London.)

Probably not, seeing what reputation my hometown has after the movie Hostel.
It could be interesting though, seeing as we have both new buildings mashed with historical centre and some really cool communist architecture, sometimes evoking that STALKER feel.

It would be quite hillarious having a game in my home town. The fact it has a very generalised reputation for thugs, alcaholics and dope smokers and all the women pushing prams with their children at the age of 16 would be a hillarious take on a spin-off for a GTA game.
Honestly its not true, but you could take it as being biased but it still would make for an hilarious game none the less.

I'd love to see Sydney done in a Fallout type of style.
I've said it before, and i'll say it again, but having Fallout set in Oz makes for way more interesting and deadly creatures.
