I think Manchester has been in a few games

Yup, I know of Resistance. I'm on the southern edge of Manchester so, considering there'll never be a game based in Stockport, I'll say Manchester.

 

[KojiKnight]

How many people's TOWNS have been in games? NYC is definitely not a town... neither is LA... I imagine there are far fewer actual real towns in games

 

[Nags]

LA here, so yep.

 

[Teggy]

Are there any games that take place in D.C./D.C. area?

Yes, MW2 took place in DC and the suburbs if I recall correctly.

 

[Fandangox]

I know Mercenaries II was set in Venezuela, but never played it so I don't know which state was it or if it was just a fictional area in the country.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

every town ever has been in minecraft!!!!!!!

 

[zruben]

Not sure, has Mexico City ever been in a shooter? Or maybe in a racer?

Fifa games. Estadio Azteca!

just kidding... I think there was a stage on Mexico City on a Rainbow Six game, not really sure. :/

 

[Llyrwenne]

I don't even know any games set in the Netherlands, let alone my specific city.

Wasn' there a Brothers in Arms game set in the Netherlands? Hell's Highway? Anyway, another Dutchy here, don't live in a big city, so my place probably hasn't ever been in a game.

 

[Kikarian]

Sports games are in my town in some ways. Because of the stadiums location.

 

[Chaz Ashley]

Hamburg, Germany got busted up in "Modern Warfare 3". At least that's a better videogame-fate than havin to endure another "Autobahraser", heh.

 

[hairypeckpeck]

apparently COD ghosts will have sections in San Diego.

kinda cool i guess...

Spoiler

even if it after some tragic event

 

[Paul_uk]

Does this count?

that's the closest i think my town will ever get.

 

[Guevara]

Homefront/San Francisco.

fighting across the Golden Gate bridge was cool

 

[cafemomo]

[Monty Mole]

Yup, I know of Resistance. I'm on the southern edge of Manchester so, considering there'll never be a game based in Stockport, I'll say Manchester.

Battlefield 3 had those stages in Reddish and Cheadle Hulme.

Spoiler

lol as if!

 

[Nihilistic Monk]

I grew up in Manchester. Manchester. The City & their Cathedral was in Resistance : Fall of man.

They were not as excited about this as I was...

Manchester, UK.

Resistance: Fall of Man had a historic stage set there but it certainly didn't feel like Manchester.

Can't think of anything except the above.

Dammit. I scanned the thread before posting as well. Apologies for re-posting.

 

[joe2187]

Yes, MW2 took place in DC and the suburbs if I recall correctly.

Fallout 3?

 

[Dawg]

No.

At least I have the movie "In Bruges"

 

[daycru]

Sort of, every NCAA game.

 

[Deband]

Yup. Edinburgh was in PGR2. The recreation was pretty spot on although I was disappointed they were about 3 streets out of having my flat in the game.

Rockstar also included the Forth bridges in San Andreas I think.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

I urge you to Google Heenvliet and see how big and import my hometown is

 

[Pavaloo]

I think it was Tony Hawk 3? Skateboarded the shit out of Vancouver

 

[jello44]

NYC, so yes.

Though I'd like for my home city of Philadelphia to be in a game. Lots of potential there, I think.

It was used as the basis for the city in Heavy Rain.

Also, Love Park was in one of the Tony Hawk games, I forget which one.

 

[Iacobellis]

Man, the day a game takes place in Connecticut...

 

[Teggy]

I live in Boston, so I was enjoying the lead up to The Last of Us knowing that there are scenes in Boston, but yeah, I agree. Only the

Spoiler

capitol

building looks right.

They did a good job with the old State House as well.

 

[InsanerBrainer]

I don't think Oklahoma City will ever be in anything besides NBA games. Unless someone decides to make a game about tornadoes.

 

[injurai]

Only game I know that is set in Ohio is Portal 1 and 2...

 

[Woorloog]

Helsinki was a city-state in Civ5. Not sure if it is still in the game as of Gods and Kings expansion.
Also in some other strategy games... probably.
Other than thess, i can't think of any mention of Helsinki in games

 

[Dance Inferno]

I lived in NYC for a while. So yes, many, many, many, many, many times.

Only game I know that is set in Ohio is Portal 1 and 2...

So you're telling me you never played No One Lives Forever 2?

FOR SHAME.

 

[baphomet]

Denver is in a bunch of games. Last of Us and Metal Gear Rising being some recent ones.

 

[hydrophilic attack]

PGR 2 had a stage set there!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kkzvh9hRGk&t=20s

Thanks guys!

Yeah, would be cool. Especially considering how many Swedish developers there are. Despite the country being so small six of the biggest E3 games (Mirror's Edge 2, Battlefield 4, Mad Max, The Division, Need for Speed: Rivals and Star Wars) are Swedish and at least half of them take place in the US.

Yeah, that was my thought as well.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Is there a game that takes place in Milwaukee?

Would be awesome if so, but I don't think I've ever played that game if so.

 

[yatesl]

Battlefield 3 had those stages in Reddish and Cheadle Hulme.

Spoiler

lol as if!

To be fair, Adswood and Wythenshaw are more dangerous than any MW3/BF3 scene

 

[Vyrance]

Just waiting for a new GTA: Vice City that includes Palm Beach County. Then I'm set.

Although, they've been really close. Aside from Vice City, the closest would actually be Port St. Lucie, which is where the Green Dolphin Street Prison stage in JoJo's Bizzare Adventure: All Star Battle is located.

Damn, I didn't know that! I live in Port St. Lucie lol.

 

[thekin]

Yes twice, but not my town, the country i live in.

Nigeria - GoldenEye 007 (2010) & Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier

Dubai - Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
GoldenEye 007 (2010 video game)
Grid 2
Medal of Honor: Warfighter
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010 video game)
Need for Speed: Nitro
Spec Ops: The Line (This was banned in the Middle-east had to import it illegally).

 

[dark_prinny]

Madrid. GT5.

 

[RK9039]

Sort of,

The City of London borough was in both games.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Kelly Slater surf game

 

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

Pittsburgh in The Last of Us made me giddy as hell.

 

[injurai]

How many people's TOWNS have been in games? NYC is definitely not a town... neither is LA... I imagine there are far fewer actual real towns in games

isn't Silent Hill based on a real place?

So you're telling me you never played No One Lives Forever 2?

FOR SHAME.

I will now, this sounds awesome and I know the first has a following. Damn you for extending my backlog!!!

 

[Shaanyboi]

My hometown Calgary, no. Though Edmonton was in MDK2


My current city though, Vancouver? ME3 made sure to TOTALLY fuck up downtown Vancouver at the start of that game. It was kind of amazing

 

[Kjellson]

I would love if someone made a game set in Stockholm

Cry of Fear!

[Fushichou187]

San Francisco and Tokyo (lived there for a long time) so.... yup.

 

[void666]

Driver 2 had some missions on rio de janeiro i think. But it didn't look like the real RJ at all.
MW2 had some mission on rio de janeiro too. I've never been in a favela so i can't tell. But the scenes on the streets also didn't look like rio.

 

[SecretSphere]

Yes. Arnhem, the town I was born in and grew up in was featured in a Battlefield 1942 map: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwDluekq9sk

Nijmegen, the city I now live in was featured in a level in Medal of Honor: Frontline: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U-YLP2qoEI

edit: Oh, Medal of Honor: Frontline also had Arnhem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Og4h1wbKio

Ha true that

 

[xJavonta]

A few times (Chicago)

 

[Taruranto]

I would love if someone made a game set in Stockholm

Terranigma had Stockholm.

 

[ASFM]

[MrCunningham]

I don't think any town from the Cariboo region of British Columbia has ever been featured in a video game (wait, maybe the city of Kamloops in NHL 2011)... but certainly not my town. And I doubt that will ever happen, unless I get off my ass and develop my own game that features my hometown in some way or another.
