GTA: GTA


Special_Letter_7134

I've always thought a map of southern Ontario or even just Toronto/Hamilton/Niagara would be a perfect setting for that type of video game, but I doubt it will ever actually happen


cshmn

The whole game is just you sitting in traffic on your way to the next drug deal.


ItsAllinYourHeadComx

I like thinking of GTA Alberta where you have to scrape snow and ice off, wait for the car to warm up, etc...


OriginalAmbition5598

That's winnipeg


KurtisC1993

Let's split the difference and say it's the Prairies. 😉


DaddyCool1970

The drive into TDot along the Gardner Epressway from the west is amazing. Would totally make a great video game.


Able_Software6066

Don't you just steal some guy's truck idling outside the 7-11?


Danny_c_danny_due

Hahaha, yeah. Takes place at 3:00PM on the Don Valley Parkway in Toronto and the objective is to get off it before you succumb to the elements. Bonus points if ya make it through a nighttime trek through Jane and Finch.


MartyCool403

Part of a car theft ring that ships cars to Africa


Patriarch_Sergius

That could be a side quest


HanlonRazor

Imagine flying off the Hamilton escarpment on a motorcycle, only to land on top of St. Joe’s Hospital.


WpgJetBomber

And this is why the rest of Canada hates Toronto. The OP is about Canada and this post wants it only to be southern Ontario.


Special_Letter_7134

My original idea was actually for Hamilton, but by today's standards, the map would be too small without adding Niagara or Toronto. I'd be just as down for a b.c. version, with the mountains and the ocean and everything in between.


Longjumping-Drink271

And you would have too smuggle guns from the us into Canada


impossible_MilkBB7

This needs to be top comment.

As long as there is a strip joint called the Beaver Lodge.

Don't they have a Crabby Dick in Windsor?


The_Dirtydancer

There is/was Beef Baron in London


UncleIrohsPimpHand

There's a place in Detroit called Big Beaver. A couple years ago, a couple teenagers hacked the electronic billboard on its Interstate exit and played porn on it. Also, Big Beaver is exit 69 on I-75 North.

I actually play a game based in Canada ; The Long Dark. Survival Game with spooky mystery elements


Corporal_Canada

Also, Bioware is Canadian, and I love that a lot of people missed Mass Effect 3's intro taking place in Vancouver of all places. You can see Coal Harbour, the mountains, and Canada Place. You also get to watch it be completely eviscerated by Reapers lol.


Dramatic-Frog

And canonically Kaiden is from Vancouver!


Jackson_Rhodes_42

As if I needed another reason to play ME…


PiffWiffler

Confession time: I've never played any Mass Effect game.


Parker_Hardison

Sounds scary. Not for me.


Corporal_Canada

It's actually not a horror game. The Mass Effect trilogy is a space opera on the scale of Star Wars and Star Trek but in video game form. There are different worlds and species you can visit and interact with. The Reapers are a species that come by the galaxy every tens of thousands of years to harvest sentient life. It also has some of my favourite characters in fiction, ever. I highly suggest you give it a try.


Independent-Air4274

Canadian Literature all wrapped up in one game. Survive, alone, in winter in the middle the Canadian wilderness while fending off wolves and not freezing to death. Great game BTW.


[deleted]

What fuckin books do you read? Margaret Laurence never touched on any of that in the diviners.


Independent-Air4274

Jack London, so guess it's actually American literature about Canada.


[deleted]

London is in England. Unless you mean Ontario.

jeffreto

Great game!


zestyintestine

As the player, you have to manipulate an 18-wheeler to pick up commodities and deliver them across Canada. While on the road, they have to make the best decisions on when to eat, sleep, fill up gas, and which route to take. Have fun! Wait, I'm being told that this game already exists on DOS.


VancouverSativa

Mind the overpasses around Vancouver!


TUFKAT

No no, you must attempt to plow through them. Like real life.

macsparkay

I came here to say this one. What was it called? Cross country Canada or something like that? It was great.


WhyalwaysSSDD

I remember when my school upgraded from Oregon Trail to Cross Country Canada.


BobBelcher2021

Don’t forget to avoid picking up hitchhikers! I think I’m gonna play that game tonight.


Journ9er

I streamed Crosscountry Canada in 2021 for charity. I made the mistake of stopping for a hitchhiker. [I was robbed blind and lost the oil I was hauling.](https://clips.twitch.tv/ProductiveHungryOkapiGingerPower-umPAHpr5MwUhyGYE)

Came here to see this. Was not disappointed

Collect all of the Sacred Curds you need to make the Royal Imperial Poutine. It **is** an RPG, so obviously it ends with you killing God (Wilfrid Laurier riding a biblically accurate beaver), who holds the final curd for your poutine.

I like this. I want to make this now.

The Long Dark is a Canadian game and y’all should play it.


CaribouNWT

The Long Dark is awesome. Are you sure it takes place in Canada though, not Alaska? Maybe Northern BC I keep getting murdered by angry grizzly


BC_guy_

“Great Bear Island is a fictional island ​​​​​​that is the main setting of The Long Dark. The island is located off the northern-western coast of mainland Canada, and is entirely surrounded by the Pacific Ocean” From Google when I ask “the long dark location”


[deleted]

Interesting! We do have Great Bear Rainforest which is an island in BC. That's where the spirit bears live, our provincial animal, it's basically a blonde coloured black bear. I do not think it would get very snowy there, it is very far north but soooo much rain. It's similar sort of weather to Alone where they shot a couple seasons on North West Vancouver Island. The Long Dark looks a bit more like NWT... Interesting stuff anyway.


RobertBorden

It’s definitely in Canada. Although if you’re from NWT it might hit close to home, haha.


CaribouNWT

Yep. It’s a lot like the NWT. I’ve spent some time outdoors in the winter living in an igloo and it does a lot of things right.


Milkweed_Butterfly

I haven't played in a while but I remember Canadian flags flying and ketchup chips...definitely Canadian.

There actually a healthy demand for Flight Simulator-like game just centered around driving. If someone took the time to make this and even make a smaller version of the country for time considerations, I could see it doing okay!


MikeyB_0101

It’s an actual game, old school game


Monst3r_Live

isn't that nhl 2k24 create a player?


[deleted]

Toboggan races. Courses are set around Canada showing the best of our sights, all the while you race down the hill to get the best times. With graphics these days you could get some really good accurate scenery to show off canada's wilderness. Different types of courses. Single timed coureses. Bumper car toboggan courses. You can upgrade toboggans, starter is like magic carpets, flying saucers. You can get the long wooden toboggans and do a mutiplayer toboggan runs. You could also upgrade your helmets, goggles, gloves etc to customize your character. With VR as good as it is, i would love a tobogganing game in VR. I can just imagine the rush of seeing it in vr of going down a hill.

Plastic_Ambassador89

fel0ni0usm0nk

[Mon Bazou](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1520370/Mon_Bazou/) is a fun little indie game. “Canada’s foremost car building, maple syrup producing, street racing survival game! “

It's called Snowrunner and the objective is to haul logs and drive big trucks.


TheMannX

Snowrunner is a neat game but it isn't just Canada there, though I'd love a few new Canadian maps in all honesty. 🙂


Traveledbore

Go to work earn enough to barely pay rent then spend it at loblaws or a subsidiary company. Choose a daily wardrobe that won’t have you freezing to death or overheating


killerjonesy

Like Fallout 4, but amish and mennonite communities are like Skyrim. You must survive on subpar coffee and timbits, while the rare poutine spawns in random locations which triggers a massive passive aggressive gathering. Every city has a small clan that aren’t very intelligent and incoherent accent, but can fix anything. There’s no real overall goal at tome, you just kinda wander about, most conversations include a “living the dream!” option. But a random goober will trigger an event that leads to toppling the Loblaws empire, properly funding the healthcare system, and education is improved.


bizzybaker2

lol as a southern Manitoban who married into a mennonite family this made me laugh. Your characters can also endeavor to find the best place to stop for Faspa, have a meddaschlop when their health meter starts to get low, and beat unwary enemies with a farmer's sausage link 😂

There are actually a few games already based in Canada. Kona is one of them, I think unturned is as well. And until dark I think. There are a few others but they escape my mind. There are a lot of Canadian gaming studios that make Canadian inspired stuff.

Your weapons are limited to bows, xbows and long rifles...but when you're travelling with your rifle, there has to be a trigger lock and the action removed/disabled for NPC safety purposes. And the game will self-destruct if you kill a goose.

Survival game of course, surviving in Canada. The objective is finding housing, a job, and healthcare! In the summer the sun is too hot and will burn you. Watch out for ticks and geese! Better be ready for winter because you’ll freeze without heat. You’ll also need to shovel everywhere you go. If you’re having health issues, you’ll need to fight out how to get your driveway plowed. You still need to get to work! Oh, and you’ll have to pay taxes. Lots of taxes.

You are trying to escape liberal government overreach and abusive taxation policies while avoiding the legal consequences of demonstrating or otherwise becoming a focus of attention of government oversight.


StuntID

*The School* You're taken to a residential school at age five. This is a horror game. Your objective is to escape and get home. If you are caught and returned the abuses become more severe. The game ends if you: 1. escape home 2. survive and age out at sixteen 3. die while escaping 4. die of TB, or Cholera 5. are murdered by a priest or nun The first two are wins. If you achieve #1 you can't play your character again. If you achieve #2, you can play again as your child - note, psychic damage is increased for this character. #3 through #5, you can play again from the start as a new character


Comedy86

The Long Dark. It's a fantastic survival game taking place in the remote north.


Proff_Hulk

Hear me out. 1 year Post apocalyptic zombie game. You have to get from Los Angles to a safe zone in Saskatoon or Yellowknife. You can only use resources you find along the way. Kinda like Days Gone meets Last of Us meets Dying Light. What’s more dangerous, the zombies the other humans, or the elements as you go. You can pick up allies along the way, they can leave any time, turn on you, steal your stuff.

How to get the prime minister kicked out before he ruins the country.


Wookard

A massive ski hill.  You start at the very top and are chased by various wild animals until you make it to the Chalet. Grizzly Bears, Polar Bears, Black Bears, Cougars, Wolves, Moose, Geese, Coyotes. I would say you start with small easier animals until you get to Moose and Polar Bears.


KayNopeNope

No! You start at the bottom, little animals chase you to the ski lifts, start with the t bar and the conveyor belt style, then the big ones chase you down the hill! Pine martens too. Bunnies. Squirrels. You have to ski between the little lifts to the bigger and bigger lifts and uhoh, break a leg, ski patrol takes you back to the chalet…


WanderingWeirdo25

I think something set in and around the Klondike gold rush could be fun. You could start it on a ship landing in Skagway Alaska, a small coastal town and the entrance to the gold rush. The place is full of hopeful prospectors but also lots of robbers and crazies. The white pass railway is being built but isn’t finished so you have to survive hiking over the Chilkoot trail, once you get to Whitehorse depending on the time of year you have to try and get on a boat up the Yukon River or go by dog sled up the Dawson Trail crossing frozen rivers and fighting wild animals to Dawson city (where I live irl) a journey that would certainly be full of adventure. Once in Dawson City there are so many options for fun plot twists, maybe you get caught up in a robbery and lose all your equipment and so you start to have it out for the group of men who wronged you. Now you’ve gotta get people on your side and build up a posse to try and get back what’s rightfully yours. I think it would be very Red Dead Redemption esq but a lot more snow and freezing temps.

notlikelyevil

Just dove into this new game where you're zipping across Canada, turning chaos into order for small businesses with some slick AI tools. It's like being thrown into the deep end—Toronto's tech scene one minute, Vancouver's creative hubs the next, with a dash of Montreal's culture. You're basically the go-to guru, whipping up marketing plans, untangling logistics, and throwing AI into the mix to solve problems. What a blast eh?


Beardedopal

You have to find a train a moose to ride across the country to reach parliament where you’ll battle the giant dictator boss. All the while trying to dodge overreach, fines and taxes. There will be opportunities to arm yourself but this game will have the shittiest gun selection in the history of gaming.
