It’s been less than two days since the release of the GTA IV trailer and there are already complaints about the game.
“Setting Grand Theft Auto in the safest big city in America would be like setting Halo in Disneyland,” said City Councilman Peter Vallone, chairman of the Council’s Public Safety Committee.
“It’s despicable to glamorize violence in games like these, regardless of how far-fetched the setting may be,” said Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly.
I for one would love to see a Halo game set in Disneyland. But all jokes aside, the game is set for release in October, nothing is known about it, yet they’re already trying to make problems?
Bit much?
