Sieg posted:They are a lot less psychic in 5, that's for sure. I don't recall the cops in 5 ever exhibiting anything that I thought was unbelievable behavior. The most unbelievable thing I've seen is how many cop cars respond when you commit a crime out in the sticks, usually rural areas don't have a large police force and even if they did they wouldn't already be halfway down some remote dirt road in a pack of 3 just waiting for you to turn the corner and go into their sight radius.

Yeah, and it makes plenty of sense with the given DLC and probable microtransactions (all you have to do to figure that one out is head into AmmuNation and check the right wall). As long as GTA:O isn't a pay to win fest it should be amazing. I'd happily shell out money for a Vice City/Las Venturas/Whatever state Nevada is in GTA expansion whenever they feel like it.

Of all the gripes people have had about cops this is really the only one I can say that bothers me. Who is calling the cops out in the middle of nowhere? I guess Bigfoot has a Whizz wireless phone in GTA land. Sondlar fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Sep 24, 2013 |

Rageaholic Monkey posted:I don't think they have, and even if they did, I don't think it would be reasonable to expect entire cities on the scale of Los Santos being added to the game later, as cool as that would be. The Leslie Benzies interview and at least one of the others mentioned that they would like to eventually model the whole planet in GTA: Online, and mentioned adding previous game cities as something they may do. I'm sure a stepping stone to that point is going to be more landmass. Whether or not it occurs in this version of GTAO is a different story. My best guess is that they're going to add Liberty City at some point with GTAO bells and whistles added. That's just my dream but it seems possible.

Found a little bug today. If you commit a crime right as one of those random cop vs. npc car chases the cop won't come after you but you will be stuck with your wanted level until you die. It just gets stuck where the game says you are in a cop's line-of-sight .

Speaking of motorcycles, I think it's kind of weird that everything in the game has so much attention to detail but the motorcycle riding still looks awkward as hell and totally unnatural.

What a shame, I would like some DLC even if it is small and really just allows you to explore a bit deeper into a few parts of the game- like episodic missions but not near as long as TLatD or TBoGT but like a five mission plot arch for a few bucks that goes deeper into some characters or events.

My hope is that the dlc does add to the current map but in ways like adding activities and new areas to explore (mostly interiors.) How awesome would it be to get into the Vinewood Mall, for instance.

An interesting thing about scale, the current map is supposed to be roughly half of San Andreas. It might be interesting if over the next five or six years they basically constructed a complete San Andreas or even West Coast. You could have a San Fierro game which could stretch even further north for Seattle/Washington and Portland/Oregon parodies. Then you could release a game that fleshes out the south with Las Venturas and maybe a San Diego/Tijuana parody.

I want North Yanktown. One thing I noticed during those missions was they had a special "gently caress this" trudging animation for deep snow. That's an insane touch to add for something that gets a total of like 30 minutes in the game.

This is the game that lets you waterboard an innocent person whose junk you smashed to bits with a wrench minutes earlier. I realize it came out years ago but VC had an accessible mall that you could murder people in.

Although R* raised the bar for DLC and as good as TLaD and TBoGT were, I think they sold very poorly (comparatively speaking) so I doubt they'll be doing anything of that scale again. It looks to me that GTA Online is were any expansion will come.

Retarded_Clown_ posted:http://gtaforums.com/topic/601546-gta-will-get-monetization-buy-in-game-moneay-with-real-money/ As long as the multilayer is as robust as they say it is, I'm cool with it. They basically said that it's going to have so much poo poo going on that they could've sold it as it's own separate thing, but they want to make it badass so people will love to play it in the long-term and they can monetize on it. Much like planetside, only gangster poo poo. So before everybody starts making GBS threads all over it, just remember how much money the goons have poured into planetside.

May as well just add Liberty City and get started on a Vice city down the line. Tie them all together with highways or plane rides for some future GTA MMO. I'm honestly surprised it's taken this long just to get the online to this point, because I feel like us PC gamers have been clamoring for a gta mmo for a decade now, and other companies' half-assed or even full-assed-but-then-crash-and-burn-on-release (i'm looking at you APB) have not hit the mark.

Timeless Appeal posted:The point is that you wouldn't have to do much to it besides pretty it up. They're probably not going to do complete cities for GTA: Online add-ons because that takes an incredible amount of development time. I guess they could theoretically add Las Venturas though since Vegas isn't really much of a city outside of the Strip. Spoken truly like someone that doesn't live in Las Vegas. We have over a million people here including the suburbs.

They've outright said they want GTA:Online to be like an MMO and have even hinted at the fact that they want to add new areas. They'll do it if they think it will sell, it's that simple. And it will definitely sell.

Maybe GTA:O happens concurrently with the singleplayer story. Would account for the dead guys. And might be a cool way to tie it into the singleplayer story.

Personally there was one thing I was a bit bummed didn't pan out, and that was having your multiplayer character be available as a hired hand for singleplayer heists. Creating your own character for the online and being able to level them up by bringing them in jobs would've been a neat bit of cross-play.

I think right now, I could see them adding more town and suburbs or North Yankton or Las Venturas strictly through Online, but I can't see them selling major cities that they built from scratch. Who knows though. Still, like I said before, Benzies has some crazy ideas.

Sondlar posted:Of gently caress I sure hope not, Liberty City has been really, really overdone at this point and I don't want to go back there. This brings up a good question. Where do we go from here, environmentally speaking? People are sick of or complained about Liberty City's tight and gray urban landscape and SA and GTA5 cover the open world and city level environment. Hell, GTA5 covers everything from urban city, to mountains, to desert, and beach/ocean environments. Outside of changing the time in which the game takes place, like RDR, where does GTA go from here? Just bigger environments? Multiple cities in the same state like SA? I mean, Vice City was a nice change from GTA3 but now GTA5 covers the ocean vacation town feel to a decent degree. I'm not saying I wouldn't want a current or next-gen version of Vice City, I just have no idea how they'll keep enhancing environments. Adding interiors to more buildings? I don't know how you can top the current environment that is in GTA5 without just adding more content or tweaking it.

Timeless Appeal posted:It's not that I'm doubting they'll add new areas, and I think Las Venturas is a possibility as it's based on a pretty simple city. The only HD cities we have at the moment though are Liberty City and Los Santos. I doubt they're going to make an HD remake of the old Vice City or San Fierro maps, and I doubt they're going to put enough money in to build those whole cities from scratch without attaching them to a single player retail game. I'd love a simplified version of Vegas because honestly as nice as Los Santos is in 5, I can't help but love the desert even more. Give us the Strip and a bit of surrounding area and make the rest desert full of crazy poo poo.
