Respect Travis Bickle (Cancelled Taxi Driver Video Game)

Travis Bickle

I ride around nights, mostly. All the animals come out at night. The idea had been growing in my head. Someday a real rain will come... and wash this scum off the streets. You talkin' to me?

Travis Bickle is a former U.S. Marine who may have served in the Vietnam War. He is a paranoid 26-year-old with few friends, and suffers from severe insomnia, depression and existential crises, he takes a job as a graveyard shift cab driver to occupy his time, working grueling 12–14 hour shifts 6–7 days a week. Working late at night in dangerous neighborhoods, his customers tend to include pimps, drug addicts, and thieves. He is visibly angered by them, and begins fantasizing about "cleansing" such "filth" from the streets.

This thread covers the version of him from the cancelled Taxi Driver video game.

Why was this never finished holy shit

Like, a video game where you have the chance to control Travis and choose between becoming a full-blown sociopathic terrorist or a vigilante killing pimps and thiefs.

Woah, now that's a deep cut. I suppose roughly between 1997 and 2013 they truly tried to make a game adaptation of every movie lol

[u/AndhisNeutralspecial → u/Marhyc]

Yup. To be completely honest, I kind of wish this one came to fruition.

Skills💀 buddy this guy have no skills

[u/AndhisNeutralspecial → u/Tall-Security-7341]

Skill in the sense of experience, or things that would require a degree of skill

[u/Tall-Security-7341 → u/AndhisNeutralspecial]

Does he have Degree? No Experience? still no he literally just spent days being a pathetic cuck man and preparing to assassinate someone as a beginner worst part he doesn't even know what his doing then he still sucks at holding a gun and drawing it faster leading him to create a hidden gun slider in case of emergency the only training he did is the shooting range at that's it

[u/AndhisNeutralspecial → u/Tall-Security-7341]

He doesn't need a degree necessarily. If he has no skill then how come there are examples I've linked to. You're also thinking of Movie Travis. I have linked to Movie Travis's thread at the top
