How about an open world game similar to GTA where the main character is a cop?

Has it really been done? I guess LA Noire is similar.. Wish Rockstar would make a GTA where the main character is a cop.. Would be neat.

Sleeping Dogs.

it'd just be some moody, annoying bullshit like C.S.I.

Sleeping Dogs.

Never played that game. Is it any good?

Sleeping Dogs.

Excellent suggestion. You play as an undercover cop in a Hong Kong triad. Really good game with a nice melee combat system. I enjoyed it more than any GTA game so far.

How can you compare Sleeping Dogs with GTA... the driving is so bad, it's not a car game to me, it's a spy game.

For me Sleeping Dogs is one of the worst game I played this year.

How can you compare GTA with a 'car game'? Would you compare it as a Platform game because the protagonists can usually jump?

I thought the driving in sleeping dogs was far better than that of GTA, at least on pc.

The driving in sleeping dogs is better then GTA4, GTA5 however owns them both and has by far the best driving in any sandbox crime game.

Looks like Max Payne to me.

Street Dogs is the spiritual successor to Streets of LA, which was a great game in it's own right when it came out. Street Dogs is a great game as well.

Maybe you are confussing Sleeping Dogs with Watch Dogs. The first one is from 2012 and the driving was not bad at all, although the best part was melee combat.

[talann]

Crackdown? I mean its not your traditional Cop theme but it is open world and the main character is a cop.

This is probably the case, sleeping dogs is the one with the asians. (that's how I remember it :P)

It would probably get old quickly. I imagine most GTA players (myself included) callously commit theft, speeding, murder et al on a whim, and that's what they're accustomed to. It might be an unwelcome change of pace to be discouraged or heavily penalized for that same behaviour in a mainstream GTA game.

They could make it work if they were generous with it though. A pragmatic "good" cop and an unscrupulous "bad" cop path or something. I'd play it.

Go play sleeping dogs. Your an undercover cop who goes well undercover to infiltrate the Triad. What I thought was really interesting is you can still commit crimes in that game and crap and it'll give you Triad points instead of cop points. Plus I personally really liked the main character.
And to what Zaelsino mentioned outside of missions you can totally kill whoever you want and goof off. It's just in missions where you lose cop points by killing people willy nilly.

Surprised you came away with that opinion. GTA, as fun as it is has never had particularly great handling either. I would love it if one of them managed to get something like the original Grid into one of these games.
