Eminem Could Be the Next GTA Star - Perfect Timing for GTA 5

Eminem is no stranger to the acting game, but it has been a while since we have seen him bless the big screen. Rumors have been circulating that Eminem can very well be the next Rockstar inspired star in a Gran Theft Auto like movie.

I don't want him doing it. But if it means Detroit as a location, then I'd be happy. I always wanted a GTA in Detroit during the winter. Snow is what I want to see. Also there's a heavy Arab community there. Plus they can have Canadians and the area itself includes a big city and plenty of forest, lakes, etc. I think it would be a nice change up to the other games. Just don't use Slim as the main character. he can be a set of side missions on 8 Mile or something.

Kalowest4855d ago

Those are some good ideals.

FrankMcSpank4855d ago

Thanks. It really came up after Uncharted 2. I love the snow. And wish more game utilized snow. Plus imagine a Christmas bank robbery, or shooting out in a blizzard. Also it would be could to kill a dude and watch the fresh powder cover him up. Also it allows for minigames like ice skating, and sledding. Maybe a mission where you drive down the street in a reindeer-pulled sleigh dressed as Santa and you need to blow the mayor away...That would be really cool.

AAACE54855d ago

Detroit? I forgot all about that place! What's memorable about it though? Does anyone still live there? If that's the case, you might as well make a GTA Milwaukee... probably be just as boring and forgettable.

They should put the next GTA in DC! I was there around the time of the Discovery channel situation and they had cops, FBI and dam near everyone else mobilized for that situation. Imagine getting your wanted level up in an area like that!

PS3Freak4855d ago

What's so much more exciting about DC? FrankMcSpank makes some damn good points.

Commander_TK4855d ago

No, Eminem sucks now. So does rap.

AndrewRyan4855d ago

I think Toronto would be pretty cool aswell... The first thing I can see is bungie jumping from the CN Tower lol.

rockleex4855d ago

Haha! He fits the GTA loading screens so well! XD

I love Eminem but GTA's mains arent super stars, you start as a no one and you gain respect, just as CJ

FrankMcSpank4855d ago

"I love Eminem but GTA's mains arent super stars, you start as a no one and you gain respect, just as CJ"

You mean the voice actor is a no body, or the character is a no body. Ray Liotta played Tommy in Vice, and he was a well reknowned actor. Sam L Jackson was the main cop in GTS:SA. If this game were to happen, it would be about Slim growing up on 8 mile, probably have lots of (Guitar Hero QTE) Rap sessions, which would be kind of cool. I don't want his life story though.

Or here is a thought, why can't we have a GTA with a serial killer. I want to be a sick bastard.

GTA is about a M-rated as they come. The only thing next to do is hurt children, and rape people.

I would also like to change close of people on the fly. To be able to hold up people, shoot a cop and steal his uniform. I think that would be a little more dynamic.

I am cool with Eminem and Marshal Mathers acting for the game as long as Slim Shady does not make an appearance.

iLLMATICxKiNG4855d ago

Actually, I would rather see Slim Shady in it.
To me, Marshall Mathers is the calm man who cares about his kids.
Eminem is the overhyped name his uses.
and Slim Shady is the crazy mutha fucker who doesn't give a fuck about anyone or anything!
SO YES! SLIM SHADY PLEASE!

mikepmcc4855d ago

Eminem is awesome and it's cool to see him diversifying or whatever, but I think if he starred in anything like GTA it'd do a lot to reverse everything he's done to have positive messages in his music recently, a GTA role would kind of make him look like a sell-out.

tdogg060519914855d ago

It is a grand theft auto inspired movie thats it. No actual ties to Rockstar or GTA5.

we can do without mainstream rappers/actors in our games.

HolyOrangeCows4855d ago

Hearing that idiot "Ice Cube" announce stuff during multiplayer in place of a guy like the "Halo voice" and "Headshot guy" makes me want to jam myself in the leg with a fork.

No more "gangsta rappers" in VG. For the love of everything.

DeathMetal14744855d ago

Remember the 50 cent game? Of cousre not and with good reason.

zeeshan8104855d ago

This rumor is by this website. (tqcast). -___-
smh. This website just want HITS.

Desz4855d ago (Edited 4855d ago )

Hits? nah homie, the NYmag has a full description on the movie and it's been all over the radio. Apparently you have just learned of this from us, so it was worth the hit, zeeshan810.

Focker4204855d ago

Yep, its a movie, not a game. I would hate it if Eminem was the lead in GT5.

PS3Freak4855d ago

Yea, hey wouldn't really fit in GT5 ;). I think he would make a good side character like FRankmcspank said above though in GTA5.

MrBeatdown4855d ago

So, it's not an article about GTA, or even a GTA movie. Yet you make no mention that it is about movie, or just GTA-inspired in the title.

Oh yeah, you're definitely not fishing for hits.

"Rumors have been circulating that Eminem can very well be the next Rockstar inspired star in a Gran Theft Auto like movie"

That's before you hit the link to the article, so good job on your reading comprehension there. Yeah the title is misleading. But that's your problem for not reading what's RIGHT under it.

... and when you do, look up irony in the dictionary.

It is real and in the works. I think Rockstar might agree this time around. I think with Em's success and GTA5 in 2012 this might complement one another quite nice. Just saying..

mrv3214855d ago

I'd feel happier if it was just a nerd not overly stereotyped getting fired from his I.T job, with too much time on his hands and his console in for repairs the happy go lucky nerd go vigilante on the streets of San Andreas, working for gangs to clean up his streets and play some games along the way.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
