DDR Midian Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 (edited) I just spent about 15 minutes in a helicopter looking for that uh... beam thing, we matched up the background with the Getalife building and everything but no luck. Anyone found it? Edited May 7, 2008 by DDR Midian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamman Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 I haven't opened the island yet, but I've seen the beams hanging from construction cranes. No idea how they got there. If you can spoil it proper for me, where do you get a heli from confined to Broker??? They got one in the demo previews but didn't say what island it was obviously, or that I can recall. Downsize your picture, it's stretching the screen.... use a hyperlink next time! TYPO on the FRAMES fixed, I meant cranes near the docks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pablo82 Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Im on it. Race you all to find it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDR Midian Posted May 3, 2008 Author Share Posted May 3, 2008 I found one, but I'm not sure it's the same one. The view in the background is very similar, but slightly further back... the Getalife writing is more blurred than in the screenshot. Also... it seems impossible to get on the girder itself. We tried jumping out of helicopters but still no luck. How they hell did they manage it?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drippin'187 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 is it hangin off a crain? maybe they jumped off that onto the platform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doa kappatango Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I am sure this is hanging off one the cranes in the dockyard in Alderney, just north of the prison. I am at work at the moment, but will check it out when I get home - this was posted form memory!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDR Midian Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Yeah I've found two now, but I'm still stumped as to how to get on them. You can't climb up the crane that high, there's nothing high nearby to jump off, and trying to fly a chopper that close results in the blades hitting the cable. Even if you managed to get someone on there via chopper it'd be an extraordinary display of luck, so how they got two people on it confuses the hell out of me. Must've taken a long time.

Dwaffles Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Isnt that a SS provided by R* ??? If so they probably just spawned there and is probably near enough impossible to get up there by other means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that would be my guess. The GT's are DEV RSNYC tags. They probably place the characters there to get a good screenie. Aint gonna stop me trying though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Without a Tongue Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 This was one of my disappointments. I was really hoping fights atop high places would be a common thing in both storyline and multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guess so. I thought it might have been from the multiplayer previews lots of gaming media guys got to play. Even then it could still have been a spawn job I suppose. Since I've got this topic going, how about this screen: All of the ramp trucks I've seen don't reach the floor, can you control the ramp once you get in? It looks like it doesn't reach the floor in that screen either... in fact, there's a red car almost directly behind the truck. How did the car manage to drive up? Another setup by the guys at R*?

That's a good point! I was going to steal one of those trucks until I noticed that the ramp doesn't reach the ground, but surely there's a way to do it? I mean it seems a pointless vehicle to design if you can't use it for jumps? OR Someone reversed off a bridge and tried to land on the lorry! OR R* staged it!

DDR Midian Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 To be honest I'm getting a little disappointed with Rockstar. I think I've seen about 5 screenshots looking through them just now, that don't accurately display things you can do in the game. Sending out screenshots which make the game look better than it really is shouldn't be allowed. I found both of those two screens really exciting and now... I can't do any of it! It's not that far off from false advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR R* staged it! uhm, one could try to park the truck behind some elevation (no clue where it may work, I'm still at the office...) and drive onto the ramp there - taking the truck back onto the road like in this pic and re-enter the car on the ramp, then hit the gas and see what happens!

kyuuki Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 There is also no police maverick in multiplayer. Rockstars release pictures were a crock of sh*te. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you can do that in one of the missions but to be able to do that in free roam would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
