Against everyone, not just the ‘bad guys’. The other obvious point to make is that GTA games feature massive amounts of violence. People are expecting outrageous things from them anyway. They’ll get away with almost anything, especially in a GTA game. And why not, this is Rockstar we’re talking about here. That’s where I feel Rockstar can push boundaries further. It can be argued then, that a hot coffee 2.0 incident within GTA V wouldn’t really be that outrageous in today’s market. Even Catherine had some really steamy scenes. Even games like Heavy Rain, that have some form of interactivity during certain sexy scenes, fall within the M rating range. The game is still rated an M for Mature on ESRB though. In The Witcher 2’s case, it’s much more… laid bare. Games like The Witcher 2 and Mass Effect have romance options that tend to almost always lead to some form of a sex scene. It’s been a few years since the ‘hot coffee’ incident. It was just another incident to rile up people who are anti-gaming. You don’t see anything properly explicit either. No one is exactly naked in the mod (although maybe there’s a mod for that too…), so it all looks weird anyway. Having said that however, the scenes in the hot coffee mod really are tepid. There’s nothing else like it in the main game. It’s interactive too, so the player can waggle their joystick or some such movement to raise a pleasure meter. Now, having seen it for myself, I can understand where the complaints come from. Nevertheless, it was deemed explicit enough that the content was argued should raise the game’s ESRB rating from Mature to AO. So the scenes weren’t readily available to all. As this mission was hidden, there was no way to access it without a hacking mod. If you can recall, the ‘hot coffee’ scandal developed after hackers found a secret or hidden ‘mission’ within GTA: San Andreas, codenamed ‘Hot Coffee’. Even so, does GTA V need to shy away from that incident? I personally feel that Rockstar should rise up to the occasion and boldly implement a Hot Coffee 2.0 moment in GTA V. It doesn’t really need another huge media blowout the likes of which the ‘hot coffee’ incident in GTA: San Andreas generated.
The game will be able to sell itself on its own. Many screenshots that have been released for the game show the game featuring a lot more side-events, such as scuba diving and racing. It has been speculated that the game will feature a large open world with three main protagonist. Undoubtedly, Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA V) will be the biggest video game that gets released this year.
