Can you hear the 303 in the background?
This is a thread about that new game from Rockstar you may not have heard about.
303? What could I mean? Well, a 303 is synth, a now very popular synth, created in the late 60's/early 70's, and it provided the soundtrack for most of Gary Numans tracks back in the day. Early Electro sounds we are talking.
But why are we talking 303? Ever seen the movie 'The Warriors'? It's about a futuristic (but still very 70's) gang-controlled New York, and the background theme music is that classic 303 sound all the way through.
It's been excellently reproduced into a game now, keeping as close as possible to the original movie script, and creating the very same characters (and gangs) that feature in the movie (you actually play Rembrandt, one of the main movie characters).
I've been playing it a little while now, and I must say, it's the perfect follow one from GTA:SA in my opinion. Plus the 70's-ness of the whole thing simply makes the game for me. So funky.
