Grand Theft Auto?

Hello.
I am new here and I am new to Torque Game engine, but not new for programming and game development, but I am still a beginner too.
I want to ask this : Is it possible to do a game sort of like Grand Theft auto 3 - Vice City - SA ?
I know it's TOO HARD and needs YEARS of working, but, is it possible?
Thanks

The TSE however allows for much larger terrains which could accomodate such a game perfectly. There have been some people working on improving the TGE terrain system, but I don't think that they have released anything as of yet.

The Terrain in TGE is limited to a 2km^2 area, so if you were to make the game using terrain, it probably wouldn't be big enough.The TSE however allows for much larger terrains which could accomodate such a game perfectly.

Almost no complex game can be made without modifying the source code.
Torque is a good base, but it definatley doesn't have everything you need to make your GTA clone.
So out of the box, torque cannot do this.
But some modifications to the source code probably would get you something close to what you want.

Well I found out that GTA 3 - Vice city and San Andreas are using RenderWare engine, which I think it's good, but torque have more feautres, so I guess it will be possible, and thank you all for replying :)

Actually again Renderware was used as a base. From what I heard internally at R* that the toolset for GTA was kind of kludgy. Actually really kludgy that we were surprised what was done. Hehe. Plus you have to think about populating a city with enough geometry that it doesnt look like a hanna barbara cartoon background. So it probably be a bad choice for a first time out. So as an indie and especially a first project id shoot for making GTA 1 or 2. heh.

Well, can GTA 1 or 2 be made out of TGE ?!

Plus, they did a lot of work with Renderware to get it to work correctly for Midnight Club and GTA.

GTA 1/2 could be done in TGB...Plus, they did a lot of work with Renderware to get it to work correctly for Midnight Club and GTA.

Renderware is not a game engine, its a rendering API and its not exactly the most user-friendly API.

Purchasing it would be a start

If it was impossible, then we would not have GTA.
