A cross between Assassins Creed and GTA where you play a ninja in a Feudal Japan style setting. Fucking awesome.

Exactly.


Assassination side quests, helping towns people in the rural areas with bandits, working for/against a feudal lord etc.

i think they set on a more realistic setting though, not that the game itself is actually realistic, just the environment.. agreed it would be sick though, tengu style

With a "Being Unnecessarily Rude To Foreigner" mini game?


Seriously though, a GTA London reboot would be worth a look, but Paris...meh.

naaa think of the areas like in la haine, it'd be sick boshing around those on missions

i think its more the people from paris itself that are particularly snooty to foreigners

Fair shout, but a big 'event' is needed to really drive a GTA game, and with Paris the obvious choice would be those riots. But riots were already a key focal point in SA.

Because whenever I've read about actual ninjas, they've ended up looking like massive pussies who spent their entire life running away in the opposite direction of a fight?

Red dead revolver was awesome. I haven't played redemption. But, Gun! That was a awesome (and highly underrated) game. I think that might have been the closest to a gta style game that wasn't gta.

well we know either red dead redemption or gta v (maybe even both) are coming to PC, so that's something to look forward to

Wicked game, one of the things I had in mind when I made this thread TBH.

Basically an updated Tenchu with GTA style gameplay and open world format.
