Has a game ever been set in your home town?

[BENZOOKA]

Umm, Finland's not too often presented in games. Not even in Max Payne nor Flatout series. Except in some rally games, but I doubt that counts.

Waterbury, Vermont? I set a World of Darkness game here once...technically, that is a game set in my home town.

I'm really not sure if a game ever took place, even briefly, in Vermont.

Wait! Technically, The Simpsons "Springfield" is kinda, sorta considered to be the Vermont one. There was Simpsons games, so I might be able to argue that those took place in Vermont.

 

[ShockValue]

Nope! I can't think of any games that have been set in Canada as well.

 

[SteakHeart]

I Am Alive is going to be set in Chicago.

Woohoo! My town is going to ravaged by an earthquake!

Until Guitar Hero/Rock Band: Elvis Presley is made, Memphis Tennessee will remain out of games I guess.

 

[ascagnel]

Indeed, one was. The Superhero League of Hoboken! Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superhero_League_of_Hoboken

Lots of movies filmed in Wilmington, NC, which isn't too far from here, but no video games, to my knowledge, have been set in or around Chapel Hill.

There's a Springfield in almost every state, which is why the show takes place then (because they could add in an ocean, mountains, lakes, whatever, chances are they'd have it in at least ONE Springfield; also because they can keep making jokes about what state they're in)

True, but Springfield, Vermont is the Springfield that won the contest that allowed it to be the opening city for the Simpsons movie, and making it sorta, kinda the cannonical Springfield of The Simpsons.

I haven't heard of (or seen) a game set in South Africa, ever.

 

[Swaki]

i think i once saw an ww2 rts that had copenhagen on its map.

not certain.

i'm gonna go with no.

 

[Facade-Intention]

Can't think of any game even being remotely connected (by plot) to Australia, let alone little old Port Macquarie, NSW.

I must admit that I could imagine a GTA: Australia, but it'd have to be loaded with stereotype sauce. You know, like, wallaby shooting minigames and stuff. And it'd have to be set in the outback...

So perhaps a Far Cry: Australian Outback Edition would work better...

 

[SilkySkyKitten]

Outside of sports games and flight simulators, I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a commercial game that takes place in Minnesota, much less my hometown of Coon Rapids.
Call of Duty 2: Big Red One did make reference to Duluth, MN as the home of your initial squad leader, though.

 

[Thedutchjelle]

I doubt Heerhugowaard, The Netherlands, is well known enough for a game. Though 50K people live here, not many games are set in The Netherlands.

 

[Frankydee]

I'm sure there's been one or two racing games that have an Atlanta setting but not out here in suburbia.

 

[OmegaXIII]

Nope but the Jason Statham film about the £50 million Securitas hiest in the UK is gonna be set in my town, where it happened.

Hooray! Tonbridge's only claim to fame is being home to theives

 

[scnj]

By the look of the game alone, Manhunt. Otherwise, no.

 

[Toasty Virus]

Glasgow,Scotland?

Are you kidding?!?

 

[Scrythe]

Rainbow Six: Vegas
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Fallout: New Vegas

 

[amedyr]

I was born in a medium-sized city in Brazil, so the only chance that'd ever happen is if I wrote the game myself.

hmmm...
