Why is there no modern cop game?
- Thread starter Blue Skies
- Start date
What did you think was going to happen as soon as you put the word 'cop' in the thread title?
just finish it at the second we talk after 50 hours in, i can say this is a cop/detective game. It was the most amazing story i've experience in the last year by far.
After watching TV dramas like The Shield, The Wire and Southland it really made me want a good Rockstar style single player cinematic experience playing as a cop. There are a few modern games, like Sleeping Dogs, LA Noire and This is the Police, but overall it's really odd that there are so many Shows & Movies and so few games :(
I think most Quantic Dream games have at least one character that's a policeman...
Detroit : Become Human does the android-robo-cop thing really well. Hank is great, too. Awesome story.

Fantastical in like the way Metal Gear Solid is, or Far Cry 5
the whole game wouldn't be setpieces of course, it would probably be an open world game with branching paths, get in with the bad cops, or do your own thing and be on defense position from criminals and bad cops.
Certainly not any civil discourse on the actual topic, around here, sadly.

You should watch Bosch too, great show
and yea, there's 2 possible games id like, the linear game in which we have a more focused storyline, or the open world choices game in which you can be any sort of cop you want

Idk why people are reading this as: "COPS ARE AWESOME AND THERE SHOULD BE A VIDEOGAME TO CELEBRATE THEM"
im literally just talking about how muchpotential there is for A cop game with deep mechanics. Story, gameplay, branching decisions, it's literally effect to be gamified
I would like that too. Also a game about the police does not have to be about American police. We generally like our cops just fine over here in Finland. They mainly spend their days taking people to either jail or home when they are too drunk on Friday/Saturday evenings. Not sure if that would turn into a very exciting game though...
User Banned (1 Week): Dismissing concerns around systemic issues with policing
sorry, don't have time for that, just need to tell people how much I hate cops!

I'm really drawing a blank here. What game are you talking about?!
Making a self aware game about police filing paper work, racial profiling, and generally harassing poor people would be an interesting project that could give a lot of social commentary on the state of modern policing institutions. But I imagine any real big cop game would be a michael bay bad boys take and honestly thats the last thing we need with regards to how we portray them.
Dead and buried with Team Bondi. The former studio head was supposedly working on a spiritual successor after Team Bondi died.
Astral Chain isn't much of a cop game. It's more of a super hero game but you're in a cop uniform
You ever play spider man for PS4 OP
spider-cop reports directly to the police to stop "thug crimes"

Or it could be a game that doesn't ignore those things? Maybe a major game decision could be, choosing to be part of the blue shield, or being more of a rogue loner cop
Oh yeah, I totally agree about the surveillance stuff. But Spidey has been known to work together with cops since the beginning of the comics. From DeWolfe or Captain Stacy to more recent examples like Watanabe or Shari Sebbens.
Spiderman PS4 is the most pro-police piece of media I've ever experienced in my life.
At least other cop video games have the criminals actually commit crimes or shoot at people before you attack them. Spiderman just senses a group of guys hanging out in an area and proceeds to assault them all.

I think that's the confusing part. The director was like "I want cops to look heroic and cool!" But you are more of a guard than a cop.
Man who remembers that low-scoring Astral Chain review in which some guy projected problematic American police onto the generally more competent world police and criticised the game for not touching on "Japan's ongoing huge discussion on the role of policing"? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's probably why OP, lots of conservative and libertarian gamers who flip their shit at "the cops".

Rainbow had no campaign tho
Disco Elysian is on my "to play of it comes to playstation" list
Idk wtf astral chain is
Resident evil is about zombies lol
Lol what? They do armed bank robberies, car chases with guns, drug deals..... none of what you said is true.
i liked la noire... if it was set modern it would of been 100x better... a uk modern police game would be cool
Do you have any examples of "a group of guys hanging out in an area"? I played a lot of Spider-man and from I what I remember pretty much everyone you fight is committing a crime.
Didn't Trump cut the police budget? In America I thought conservatives loved the military and not the police.
Then again what's the difference in America LOL
Damn, I really enjoyed that game. Does Rockstar own the IP though? Couldn't they get someone else to do it?
"Rookie cop who must go rogue and take down his corrupt precinct" is a better sell than "cop simulator".

What conservatives believe and what they do isn't always the same tho
conservatives are all "blue lives matter"
also, states are generally more responsible for policing than the federal government
Does Leon in RE2 count lol?
Well, people's views on the police in the U.S. at least seem to be at an all time low, and for good reason in many instances. Err, does Judgment count? He's a private detective haha

Then you haven't played Astral Chain with its "physically beat and restrain Street Artists" Gameplay.
You also straight up play as a police man/woman and use enslaved creatures to fight for you in battle which in itself is never questioned by the story.

Just googled Judgement , looks cool! Had never heard of it
Not really looking forward to a game where you randomly kill black people "for the lulz" then have to make sure your cam is off, you plant the drugs successfully then write the report noting the person was coming right at you so you feared for your life but have to explain how all the bullets got in their back
The "Thin Blue Line" is a known racist symbol in the US. It's meant to be a pro-cop thing but anyone who knows better knows what it really is.
very common to see on the backs of cars in the US. The icing on top of the white supremacist cake is the use of The Punisher logo in tandem.
