      If Navid Khonsari, 41, has his way, Iran's capital city will soon be much more familiar to gamers. A director of the "Grand Theft Auto" series, the Iranian-born Khonsari's next game has a simple working title whose numerals denote a world of significance: "1979." And the game's tagline? "There are no good guys."

        That sounds…actually pretty fucking awesome!
        I get tired of many games involving any military conflicts at all, since I just got really tired playing the same scenarios over and over again (shooting nazis in germany, commies in russia, now north korea, etc.)
        A sandbox game located in an islamic city, especially Tehran in 1979, playing as an iranian translator and demonstrating student?
        I'm very excited and positive about this.

          Sounds interesting, now lets see if any publisher has the testicular fortitude to pick up the game and stick with it.

            At first I didn't like the idea but after reading the article, I'm probably gonna get this.

              Like all games Rockstar makes, I will be getting it, it sounds great!

              Next week the meteor destroys everything.

                "After he left Rockstar, Khonsari founded his own game-production company, iNKstories, which he co-runs with his wife, Vassiliki. The duo already have two blockbuster titles under their belt, "Alan Wake" and "Homefront." They aim for "1979" to be the third"
                Never played Alan Wake, but heard its good, and homefront is garbage.
                We'll see…

                  Given what happened to 6 Days in Falluah and EA caving on featuring the Taliban in Medal Of Honor I wouldn't get too exitced.

                  If Homefront was a blockbuster title why did THQ shut down the studio that made it?

                    Man, I really fucking love Rockstar. I never picked up L.A. Noire, but I really dig that they're pulling out all these period pieces in addition to GTA, which in itself is limitless fun.

                      This won't be by Rockstar themselves, though, apparently.

                        Hmmm. As long as it's not like L.A Noire which was borderline terrible and only got the attention it did because Rockstar's name was slapped onto it I don't mind.

                        And make sure they release more than 40% of the game on the disc. Again unlike L.A Noire.

                          Are you sure you don't have LA Noire mixed up with Red Dead Revolver?

                          The game was considerably large even without the cut content and was by no means worse off without it unlike Mafia II. Funnily enough you have people who've actually complained about the game being too long even without the DLC cases.

                                    From what I saw from the trailer, it looks pretty interesting indeed. I am definitely gonna get this game in the future! (Once I get extra funds of course.)

                                      Oh, thank you. I was completely wrong, I thought it had something to do with GTA. I don't like these kind of games at all.
