    In the South Park game the "difficulty" setting is a slider that changes your skin tone.

    Racism is an Easter egg in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Grand Theft Auto V.

    Sounds like this will be the first for racial profiling by police, well if the denial of it happening in V is true.

    That's actually kinda awesome imo. GTA has always been a parody of real life; parodying police brutality against minorities might actually help people to stop and notice when it happens irl (assuming they handle it well).

    That said, and I might be misremembering this, didn't postal 2 do this? You never saw it happen to you since the Postal Dude's white, but I swear I remember cops would occasionally randomly arrest people who weren't white. That's not to say that Postal 2 is """woke""", it's about as far from it as you can be; nor do I think that a lot of the jokes would land nowadays because some of the edgier ones were satirizing the politics of the time. However, I vaguely remember it having some really potent satire about society hiding under the crackhead edgy humor (the Postal Dude is literally a crackhead).

    evil cops is redundant.

    They could have just said COPS.

    They could have just left out the word “evil” there.

    Anyway, never mind that - when are they doing a modern take on GTA London?

    Like far too many people, OP appears to not understand the definition of woke.

    Woke - Anything right wing politicians and media has decided to rile their base against. Defining "woke" any more specifically than that today will mean that the definition is wrong tomorrow because what is or is not "woke" changes almost daily.

    But the "corrupt/evil cop" archetype is a staple in the GTA franchise. Remember Tenpenny? Is this just rage bait for right-wingers again?

    Who cares. Ill be doing so much crime, them pulling me over will be warranted.

    They will have to catch me first.

    Just like GTA IV and V have right? ( neither game has that programed dispite that people insist it's in those games)

    Have cops pulled over NPC citizens in GTA before? Or is this hinting at a similar multi-character storyline like GTA5?

    GTA going woke?

    It boggles my mind that so many people don't realise the entire GTA franchise is a satire of American culture, by the Scottish development studio. It's always been liberal.

    The recognition that there are entrenched systematic inequalities based on bigotry in American society, and the belief that action should be taken to break them down.

    To be "woke" is to be aware that things are not all butterflies and puppy dogs, and to acknowledge that fact.

    In other words, to be anti-woke is to willingly chose to remain ignorant about all the awful things that are happing in the world, such as racial inequality, for example.

    It's a good thing to stay woke.

    Smh, everyone knows cops famously love black people. We can't openly say the n word most of the time now, so we basically solved racism.

    GTA worlds have always been about reflecting what goes on in the real world, either played straight or as a parody. Something like this is not off-brand for Rockstar North at all, and certainly isn't them going woke.

    In the remaster trilogy they removed a southern flag from some inbred redneck because they said it's no longer culturally sensitive. I seriously doubt they would do something like this with the next game.

    GTAV already has this for Franklin
