Don Garcia aka NjNakedSnake Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) For the unaware, the mission failed system was revealed in the PSM IV Exclusive, have a read: Fail (a mission) and you recieve a text on your mobile inviting you to replay the mission. A welcome respite from driving halfway across town to restart the goal like previous games, even given the 'trip skip' feature. GTAIV might not drown in new features, but the myriad tweaks are practical, not cosmetic. I for the one think this is great news. No longer do we have to drive all the way back to the mission marker, instead, a quick and painless prompt on your phone. Saves time and really prevents frustration. My only concern, with this feature, we may likely see less of the city than we would if we had to drive back to the marker. But I guess that's what f.ree roaming is for. Also, the wasted during a mission system was also revealed: ...die and you wake up at the general hospital (but simply click the 'Retry' text on your mobile's Messages folder to dive back into a mission)... This also sounds like a very welcome addition. Now you won't feel 'taken out of the moment' so to speak.

I know that past GTA's had a taxi that took you back to the location, but this is a lot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4doora Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I didn't know that thanks for the info, sounds sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastian_96 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Sounds good, cheaper than a taxi trip and less time consuming than driving back to the mission starter. Though, now and then I'll drive or take public transport just to mix it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swolo yaggins Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 My only concern, with this feature, we may likely see less of the city than we would if we had to drive back to the marker. But I guess that's what f.ree roaming is for. Not necessarily, just because it's in there doesn't mean everyone will use it. I know I will drive back most of the time. 5192:12.3.02LM/SSHmkl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletproofShooter Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Dieing, and then immediately retrying isn't the best of ideas in my opinion. I would rather have rearmed and rearmored myself first before taking on a failed mission again. I'm not complaining about the new insta-retry system, it's fine if you're a lazy person of course.

Southside Dukes Ballas Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 That sucks. I was hoping that if you failed a mission it would be a failed mission. don't want any more retrys. If you failed a mission then maybe you'd have a chance to get them some other way. Also it kinda sucks that now you can't buy your weapons back like you could in VCS.

My guess is that they'll do it so that you still have all of the ammo you had before the mission, as if it never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Garcia aka NjNakedSnake Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 ^ Ya, I'm pretty sure that's how it'll work. Wouldn't make sense to take away your ammo really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA3LK Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I think it a pretty good idea and will work well. i doubt you will still have the weapons and ammo before if like get busted or wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
