ASSESSMENT 6 PRESENTATION ON GTA By Kea Allen
Influence that game has on it audience! GTA have used the media to inject influence into the audience , they have no idea that they are just being used to buy the game. Rockstar is known for their sly tricks into “wanting” people to buy their game. They use the media to say bad things about their game and they even make up bad things about it themselves just so that it stands out and that people will buy it. GTA I think does have influence over their players it can change their attitude when they are playing the game to be more aggressive and do things that normally you would not do in other games because you have never had the option to do so. With you as the player being the villain in the game you have to do things that games always try to avoid, you are not the good person in the game, you do not save anyone and you do not stop bad people because you are the bad person selling drugs and taking illegal cargo. But I think this is why people like the game because people get sick of playing the nice guy and helping everyone, so for once you get to play as the bad person to ruin everyone else's fun.
Issues with the game and its stereotypes! (Black Community) There a lot of stereotypes around different gangs the black community in GTA. They have been portrayed as a bunch of thugs in gangs that just like to cause trouble. They are always around the slum areas so the poor part of the city's and in GTA 5 there is an area that when you go into it and start a fight there the police will come almost immediately to try to stop the gang war that has happened. When we see our first male black protagonist Franklin he is stealing cars and getting into bad situations, but as he get further into the crimes he gets to live somewhere better but his friends start to notice that this is not him and that this way of life has changed him into something even worse. They have this bad image in GTA of the black community, they do not have many rich black men in the game and if they are rich its because of the crimes that they have done to make them like that.
Issues with the game and its stereotypes! (White Community) In GTA the white community is either rich or middle class, we do see some of them in the slum areas but mostly in and around the middle districted, for the main protagonist’s we have Michael and Trevor who are both white but have a completely different background to their current life style, Michael lives in this rich house and is this stereotypical old man with a big family with a lot of issues, on the other hand we have Trevor who lives in a run down trailer and dresses poorly and does not care about his hygiene an diet, he is just a psychopath in general but due to parent issues.
Issues with the game and its stereotypes! (Chines Community) In GTA the Chines community is mostly seen in gangs, they are the one of the enemy groups that you must kill near the end of the game, they are known around the area fro selling drugs and weapons illegally, in most of GTA’s franchise we have a Chines gang that tries to kill you are destroy what you own so they are the classic enemy in GTA. The first Chines character we see in GTA is high and is the son of a huge drug lord who wants Trevor to sell him drugs and weapons.
Issues with the game and its stereotypes! (Red Neck Community) The red neck community in GTA live in the desert so people like Trevor, they stay away from the main city, they have thick American accents, they have no manners and are know for many bad things. When we first meet Trevor he has already slept with someone else's woman, but the further we get in the game we start to feel sorry for him because of the way he has grown up. He seems to be interested in both genders and does not care what happens as long as he is in charge.

Who owns GTA and its copyrights and trademarks. • Rockstar have owned GTA and all of its franchise for years now they have made other games and own all titles and trademarks to those games. • Rockstar do have copyright claims in GTA so the cars that they have got in the game they would have had to make a contract with the car manufacturers to have the models in the game, or they would have changed it slightly so they would not look anything like the branded cars. • GTA and Rockstar are a trademark company and game you would have to have permission to use any art or any music that they have used in the game. You would probably have to pay them quite a bit to be able to use it.
Contracts that they Rockstar would have had to made • When making the game, any brands that they have used like cars or characters they would have had to make a contract with them to make sure that they get paid the right amount or that they followed the specific things that they wanted them to do with the cars so if they had a certain car in the game that company might want to make sure that it would not take damage right away in case it makes their company look bad so it would be part of the development agreement. • They would have defiantly had employment agreements to make sure that when people leave the company they don’t just tell everyone about the game. Especially because GTA was the most anticipated game of the year.
Why I think Legal and ethics consideration and regulations are important to Rockstar. • I think it important ethically because sometimes it may be bad that they put things in a game but that does not make it illegal which can make people un happy or mad about it, like the torcher scene in GTA there was so much stuff about it on the news, but it brings up a lot of good points about the government and how bad that things can actually be underneath everything. • Game companies need to have regulations because it has to benefit both parties but also be able to compromise as a company and try to make the best out of what they have and that is what GTA did they made an amazing game and they have a great franchise that keeps on surprising people because even though they are roughly the same, they make it so different.
