Manhunt 1 - Discussion/Question From 'Anywhere' to 'Carcer' (small parallels between Grand Theft Auto 2 and Manhunt)
In GTA 2, one of the first gangs you encounter in the Downtown District is the "Loonies." They are, quite visibly, completely insane patients from the Sunnyside asylum who have taken control of the place. The gang’s symbol is a yellow smiley face with one eye winking. In Manhunt, the "Smileys" are a group of demented, armed inmates from the Darkwoods Penitentiary who have taken control of the asylum. Their most striking feature is the use of yellow smiley-face masks.
Looking at concept art from the early stages of Manhunt’s development, there's a variety of color palettes in the environments, vivid shades of blue, green, orange, and red. While some buildings and structures are imposing and tall, everything aligns perfectly with a grim, raw urban "20 minutes into the future" aesthetic much like the setting of GTA 2’s retro-futuristic metropolis, "Anywhere City" (especially when playing with the "Dusk" lighting setting).
Of course, while this is likely just a coincidence, with no actual connection between the titles, as they belong to distinct universes, it is interesting to note that the concept of "asylum patients who go mad, take control of the asylum, turn it into their base, and begin walking around heavily armed" was revisited by Rockstar in a later game. Perhaps the idea simply appealed to the developers enough that they decided to use it again.
I know that GTA 2 was released in 1999 and that the development of Manhunt didn't truly begin until around 2000, even so, it’s not that large a gap in time. I’m not saying that Rockstar drew inspiration from the "Loonies" to create the "Smileys," but rather that this was a concept they decided to repurpose later on in the development process since I doubt the "Smileys" existed during the game's pre-production phases.
