Retro City Rampage (Vita, 2012)

guessed by KLXVER

Inspired by Grand Theft Auto III, Retro City Rampage is an open-world game full of possibilities. It's also one of the funniest games ever made, poking fun at classic games, pop culture, and the video game industry at large. What's most impressive about the game is the fact that it's almost entirely the work of a single man, Brian Provinciano, who created in Retro City one of the all-time great "sandbox" games and one of the all-time great game parodies. The jokes are smart and funny, the missions embrace gameplay elements from many different genres and eras, and throughout the game there is a thrilling sense of discovery and adventure. It's a brilliant synthesis of old-school sensibilities and new-school technologies. And it's proof that game design and creativity will always trump glossy graphics and orchestral soundtracks.

Another hint for my 48th game. Of the two protagonists, one is an ex-gangster and the other is a detective constable. The crime boss kidnapped the ex-gangster son, and is forcing him to attack rival gangs around the city. If he doesn't do as he's told, "the kid dies".

The only game I can think of is The Getaway. Probably not though



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Hints for latest
50: After a somewhat shaky first entry, The next and best alternative sports game ever made and spawned a slew of sequels, including an HD remake that was not up to par of the original.
49. A semi-story driven fighting game that had a mode where you tried to nonstop (mostly one hit) kill 100 spawning enemies in a row that was insanely addicting and by far the best part of the game.

You got it! I thought the constable part was a giveaway.

You got 49.  F'in awesome game mode that was.  Never gets old even now.  Someone get 50.  It's a way easier guess.



#49: Ultima VI: The False Prophet - The first game in the legendary Ultima series. A young man named Richard Garrett took inspirations from all his favorite games, combining the RPG elements of Final Fantasy VII with the having sex with prostitutes elements of Grand Theft Auto into one epic package. Garrett went on to make so much money from this one game that he stopped making games and went to outer space (which is why this is also the last game in the Ultima series), and that's why it's the 49th best game ever made.

Hint for #48: It's not Ultima VI: The False Prophet.
