groovymonkey2003 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 i read somewhere in an interview with dan houser he said he pitched the idea of refueling for SA but it was scratched, so maybe now they have brought back some old ideas? just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniluvsuall Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 It would be an interesting option at first, but then it would get annoying fast. You chuckers who want it in the game, have you ever had to pump gas for your own car? It sucks! If it were in GTA, it would a case of art imitating absurdly boring things to do. Should we stop with gas? What about oil changes? How about tire-balancing and changing your tire? Vacuuming the upholstery? Well ok i understand where your coming from but you are taking it a bit far. i dont mean waiting around for 5 litteral minutes while the car fills up like 5-6 seconds.. just add's to realism, as i was saying in another post (not post dropping) about being able to operate the roof in a convertible in the game would be rather neat and add's to the games feeling of "well thought out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterBates666 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 There were plenty of gas stations in SA, I hope we get to use them this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still, it's would be a fun gimmick at first, but it would subtract from time you could be spending doing more interesting things. I'm all for tidbits of realism in games, but there is a point where a developer has to look at something and decide whether or not it adds or removes an element of fun and freedom from the game.

Slamman Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 More realistic yes, but this is already an old line of inquery, the answer as likely stated to you...nope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIZZEL444 Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 so im guessing most people are against this? some one suggested it could be an option so if you did'nt like it you could disable it whats you're views on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxxxDamage Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I f*cking hope not... I refuel on my way to work, why would i want to do it in a game? I mean f*ck, are you people f*cking retarded? This game isnt about be realistic, as i said before, first time you die, guess what! YOU'D STAY DEAD!! You kill someone? Your in prison for life for murder one... That would be fun, hey? anyone else think this whole fuel thing is purely a deadsh*t idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockteur Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 As long as I can blow up the gas station, that's all I care about. GTA 4.5 better have destructible environments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIZZEL444 Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 i aint saying you should stay dead if you die or get sent down for murder that aint an every day thing is it how often do you go out killing people. And filling up should take about 5 seconds and you run out off fuel due to how many miles you have driven so you should get 250 miles out off a tank so you wont be filling up all the time. Its like you are trying to say you fill up every time you get into your car . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its like you are trying to say you fill up every time you get into your car . hang on, so now the storys changed... i thought this was a "realistic" featuere that was wanted, why would it take 5 seconds? ok.. gta is about things u cant do in real life kill people run people over etc etc.. refueling my car i can do any f*cking day... plus if i killed some one, i would go to jail and thats not in the game. so is dieing.. if i died, id be dead.. wouldnt just respawn out the front of the hospital... This game is pretty much all things you cannot do in real life, so why on earth would u want to waste time refeuling your car... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIZZEL444 Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 First it would take 5 seconds because 1 min in gta is 2 seconds real time ok say 6 seconds that would be 3 mins in gta time. second this topic was about having fuel in cars not making the game as realistic as possible, yeah i may have said it would make the game more realistic because it would but i didnt say i wanted the game so you only live once and get sent down. Rockstar said they wanted this gta to be more realistic than others so having fuel would do so but not so realistic that you only live once and game over when you go prison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not add bathing? Why not add going to the bathroom? Why not add shaving? Why not add getting prostate cancer? Why not add needing to add oil and water to cars? Why not add having to get your licence? Why not add being able to be a bus driver? (another stupid idea) Why not add ATMS? (yet another f*cking studpid idea) Why not add clipping your toe nails?

RIZZEL444 Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 ATM's as been added , ya can go to the barbers and have a shave and also have you're hair cut, you can also go clothes shopping, go get some thing to eat, they have made it into the game and i find them pretty boring you even have to entertain a girlfriend and friends to keep them in you're good books, thats also boring so why cant a simple thing pulling up to a gas station for about 6 or 7 seconds every 250 miles cant make it into the game may be boring to you but not for others. i hope it does make it into the game now just so it pisses you off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxxxDamage Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 haha you have no clue do you? if it isnt in the game i will laugh and chuckle to myself and think "deadsh*t" if it is in the game, which i doubt: i can gurantee if there is fuel there will be a cheat to turn it off... however if there is no fuel, there will not be a cheat to turn it on.

RIZZEL444 Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 we will see in 2 weeks time i admit i doubt it will be in the game but i reckon it will feature in up coming gta's after this. i would'nt like this to be in multiplayer tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymz92 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 for me, i hate the idea. although if this was the case, the game would be a whole lot more realistic and would enforce the name ...

Karl1128 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 if they add the fuel thing then the time between that is long..You get your car full of fuel and you have to drive straight 3-4 hours in real life to empty your car of fuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karl1128 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 AND you can get the fuel to canister, and canister to the trunk...If the fuel is low just go to the trunk and refill your car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
