Has a game ever been set in your home town?

[Jark212]

Dead Rising takes place in Colorado, which is where I live. During a cutscene in MW2, a military base in Colorado was shown. And I made my characters in sports games like Smackdown vs. Raw and UFC Undisputed originate in Denver, which is the city I live in.


Man, Colorado doesn't show up in enough games.

We should start a petition for games set in Colorado...

no, but I live near aurora Illinois, which you might know from Wayne's World. I also live near Chicago, but alas if you're looking for a big city, go for new york. I am alive will be set here thought, and that game looks cool.

Florida is so full of elderly people, the only game that could ever be set here would be Retirement Home Manager.

There was GTA III: Vice City in a foax Maimi.

Brothers in Arms - Hell's Highway takes place in my old town, but I was 2 when I lived there and I can't remember it so it doesn't really count. :I

 

[CloggedDonkey]

I demand a massive fight on the Mississippi Bridge!

I agree as I used to live by there!

 

[MMMowman]

No games that I know of but there has been like five books written on it...

Fallout 3. I lived in Germantown MD for a while. I am now a couple of miles south [still on the MD side of the capitol wasteland though]

There is no Miami in Florida. Miami differs so greatly from every other city, it could very well be its own state.

Nope, there's probably be copywright issues if it were to be set in NARNIA.

The neighborhood I grew up on was in Diablo. It was the cow level.

Wow, really? I'm just across in Diablo II. Act V, can't miss it. Harrogath

(Harrogath- Harrogate. Both up north too.)

Sweet! Perhaps we should hang.

 

[Romblen]

No, but I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere. There was a show on the science fiction channel where the main character was from my town, I don't remember what the show was though.

 

[Nomanslander]

Right now I live in Las Vegas....lol

Before that I lived in L.A.

So what do you think.

Oh and can't wait ti play Fallout: New Vegas...here in Vegas.

If someone set a game in my home town; I would not buy it.

 

[kawaiiamethist]

I can't even think of any games set in Australia.

Gonna jump on the Fallout 3 bandwagon here. I didn't actually like the game that much, but it was really cool seeing all the places I know rendered in the game.

In fact--you know that really weird space-age highway ruin just outside Megaton? Yeah, that's real. It's the Springfield [http://suburbanista.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/springfield-interchange-bankbryan2.jpg] interchange [http://cache4.asset-cache.net/xc/82554205.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=6C4008C0FD9EB5A5BDBFD9AF29DC59E689DFB516DEDA19463A75F85D01C9DA76]. I like to think that it wasn't destroyed by the nuclear war; the residents of Springfield Springvale just tore it apart with sledgehammers for being such a godawful piece of traffic engineering.

Chicago does but i forgot which one(s)

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel

OT:No games but the beggining of the movie "Wild Hogs" is set in my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio

 

[Shaegor]

You must be joking

I don't know of any games from either rural Nova Scotia or the-middle-of-nowhere-town Alberta. The only possibility I can think of is if there was a spot in the X-men Origins: Wolverine game where you were in Alberta.

However, I can say that several games were made nearby. A little company called BioWare is based in Edmonton, so I take a little bit of pride in that. While the games may not have been set here, goddammit at least we can be known for more than the Oil Sands.
