Ultraussie Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Ok, as I like playing FPS, I always wished a FPS Sandbox game. If it ever happened to GTA, it would look like this: 1st one is a Photoshopped Counterstrike screenshot, with some HUD bits taken from a GTA3 screenshot, and a Prerennial from GTAVCS. All other martiel is custom shaped or of Google Images. Second one is Photoshopped GTASA screenshot, weapon from Quantum of Solace PS3, and everything else custom made. We already seen what "DukeStar" did with his Duke Theft Auto mod for Duke Nukem, and this is my details for a GTA FPS: Limited Weapons: This is more realism. Any other weapons in our inventory will appear on the side of the screen in a downwards fashion. You can carry 2 pistols, 1 large weapon (SMG, Shotgun, Assault rifle, bazooka, Sniper rifle, large melle weapon etc), one small melle weapon (Combat kinfe, brass knuckles, Police Batton, police Pepper Spray ETC), and special (Grenades and molotovs, flowers, other various small tibits). Aiming: this will be done either Countertstrike/Halo style (Rectile in center of the screen and weapon to the far right pointng left), or COD4 style which veiws down the weapons iron sights. Police system: The wanted level system works out in the ususal 6 stars, but re thought. 1 star: Officers ask you to stop. 2 Star: Officers use non leathal force. 3 stars: Officers will shoot at you with their sidearms. 4 stars: SWAT teams are called. 5 stars: FBI comes to assist. 6 stars: FBI, the Army, and the Airforce assist. Vechiles: When a player approches a veichle, he will open the door latch, and slide his butt into the seat. The veiw is a First Person, from the inside of the car. Drive by's are manually aimed, and if you dont wind down the windows the bullets will breka the window. If a car crashes airbags will go off, obstructing your veiw (Yet keeping you less injuries). Your minimap is just like any other GTA Game If you get caught in the middle of a police firefight that has nothing to do with you, you can shoot an armed criminal if a police officer is in a critical situation (Much like the $50 good citenen bonus in GTAVC). If you fall or roll out of the car, the veiwis from the players eyes still, so it is hard to see where your body is rolling/falling too. It is also possible to do a spread eagle when falling, or a streamlined bullet. Parachutes can be obtained from some aircraft and spawns in airports. Prostitute sex would be too revealing for the actual FPS car veiw, so when one of those sluts hops in, you tell her what you want her to do to you. Then the screen fades to black, then to the outside of the car at a close distance. Moaning sounds are heard and the car rocks. When its all done a comic mess of cum's on her face (you only see it for a breif moment because she is cleaning it up), and then she leaves the car. You can then shoot her if you want, although the fenimists and Jack Thompson might be getting there torches ready. The Mini Map's red area is like GTAIV: it shows were the cops are. The 3 bars on the HUD: Armour, which is a bullet proof vest (Headshots anyone?), Health, which is your your physical state, and Stanima, which is running, jumping, falling, and getting blows from melle weapons (Health is affected also). The Text still appears at the normal state as the bar narrows into the center. Below the bars is Money, which is set to the right, and Time, which is set to the rigt in a 12 hour format. the stars are below, which are invisble when you have no police attention. When you get your first star all the other 5 stars appear, except they are black and smaller compared to the red illumiated star. As you get more stars the others will look like the first one. Safehouses are purchased from real estate agents, conqured from completing missions, found abandoned, or purchased from people on the blackmarket. They are expensive. Veichle parking and garages feature on most of them. The clothing system is like that of San Adrea's (Cutscenes and seeing yourself in the mirror much?), but Custom Skins can be applied from the Pause Menu like in Vice City and GTA3. Clothes are purchsed from shops, found at various locations, or are aqurired from completing missions. 80% of the buildings have interiors, and when in an evalavtor, you can press a button which makes it stop, or jump out of the top and climb down the evivator cables. If you take veichles inside buildings you will get a 1 star wanted level and securit gaurds will try to get you. Carrying firearms in public (That means in your inventory) will draw attention from the Police. You will get 1 stars and if you dont surrender you will get 3 stars. Swimming is in the First Person, the player tilting his head up to see above water, turning his head to breathe. When he dives under, unless equiped with swim goggles, he will have poor visibilty. Also if a car is crashed into water, the interior will fill up with water. The oxygen meter is displayed where the armour meter ususally is. Girl freinds are avalible in this game, just like in GTASA, but dates are less linear. Another thing wthat would be good is including a MP5K, Steyr AUG, or Walther P99.

Omnia sunt Communia Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 There you go, a FPS/sandbox game. I think Grand Theft Auto would take a serious blow if they were to turn the franchise into a FPS game. It would be a completely different game, it just wouldn't be GTA. If you want to play a FPS so badly, go play one. It's not like there's a limited amount of successful and good ones out there. There is, however, a limited number of successful and good adventure crime sand-box games. Why would you want to take another one off the market?

K^2 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I don't think a pure first person GTA is going to happen, but I can't think of a reason not to include a first person option in the game. The only real difference, from developers perspective, is that they'd have to make the interiors of vehicles and weapons more detailed. In case of vehicles, they might also need to throw in functional dashboard instruments, but that in itself isn't a whole lot of work. Of course, only the vehicle you are inside of or near would need to render full dashboard. This alone will not make the game look particularly good from first person. You'll still run into a lot of things that look ugly upclose when they looked just fine in third person. But as long as it is an option, I don't see a reason not to include it.

Mainland Marauder Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I don't know, I'm just not big on the "Doom Theft Auto" concept. If it can be some alternate view or mode then great, but I don't want it forced on the series.

Rhoda Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 If there were to be a first person GTA (and I sincerely hope there wouldn't be) but I'd imagine it to be in the style of Mirror's Edge; a loose, gritty take on the usual mish-mash of first person games we've seen. In that, we can run, jump, disarm and fight using a variety of fluid controls with relative precision. I don't like first person games per se, I have a complex where I like to see the whole character, but Mirror's Edge was different. Don't want to seem like I'm singing Mirror's Edge's praises so I'll start another paragraph to detract from that. Basically, long story short, I feel that a first person GTA wouldn't do the series any good, and may confuse the more hardcore fan. Like MM said, I'd like it to be an option perhaps, but the last thing I'd want is for it to be forced upon me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceWolf729 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 You might like to check out these titles : -Boiling Point: Road to Hell - A very good mixture of Far Cry (FPS action), GTA (missions, vehicles, huge explorable area) and Deus Ex- like roleplay elements , really awesome with good graphics ! -White Gold: War in Paradise - The successor to Boiling Point Check them out, albeit somewhat buggy, they are excellent FPS sandbox games with GTA elements like tens of vehicles etc. As for GTA NeXt, maybe a camera option of FPS mode would be nice, but the game has always been 3rd person and maybe it should stay as the default view.

Mainland Marauder Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I think of Duke Nukem: Time To Kill that had a very 3D GTA-like camera angle (this was a few years before GTA3, mind) which was a bit of a departure from that series, but you still went to a FPS-style view when you fired weapons. It was still a Duke Nukem game. GTA could have a first-person free aim mode that allows movement on foot to give it a FPS feel for those who want it.

It's a frankly amazing game, both for it's innovate approach to the first person genre and it's style; a dystopic, yet clinically clean vision of the future. While GTA may be anything but clinically clean, I get chills thinking of being in a view such as that in Mirror's Edge and being able to see unfriendly streets and knife wielding criminals in amazing detail. Another thing about the idea of a first person GTA is the concept of vanity is gone. Think about it; how can you purchase clothes for a character you can only see the arms and feet of? Okay, so you may be able to see your character's attire in the reflection of a passing car or window, but that'd be about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K^2 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Just another reason for it to be both. Let the player toggle between first and third person. Third person purists get their game. First person purists get their. And the open minded people get the best of both worlds. Granted, development time could be increased, primarilly in testing phase, but even that makes for little reason not to do this.

QwertyAAA Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 However - there are enough third person purists or people who don't give a toss to make this one of the bestselling series ever, and the FPS guys? meh. It'll be uncomfortable, and anyway, everybody will bitch about the wasted space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoda Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Well, I was just playing on IV, marveling at the unique views they give to players in cars now, such as the ability to look from the police car's point of view during a chase. It lead me to thinking that it may be a good idea to have three camera views: First person Third person Overhead view I found the idea of overhead to be great in III, and I was sad to see it go when Vice City was released. To see the overhead view again would be a welcome nostalgic trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainland Marauder Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I only used that view for a few things in GTA3, such as climbing that wall around the gas station near 8-Ball's, but every now and then it's cool to put on for the "lololdskool" effect. It wouldn't kill me to see it thrown back into a new GTA, just for fun. Never bad to remember your roots. "You tell me exactly what you want, and I'll explain to you very carefully why it cannot be."

Bul1etSp0nge Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I think some new camera angles would be great as long as they were optional.

K^2 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I would definitely welcome a classic top-down view, even if it is completely useless.

CryptReaperDorian Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 They should have FPS as an option like in MGS4. MGS4 is a TPS, but while aiming if you hold down another button it'll go to FPS. It wouldn't hurt to have auto-aim applied to it either. The thing about FPS is that you can see where you shoot. Like remember it past GTAs if you fire an assault rifle simitaneously it'll lose accuracy? In a FPS you can try to reposition the aiming better than TPS as you can see where the gun is pointing. And I wouldn't want one of those crappy gun-to-side-and-fixed-reticule FPS as they aren't true FPS. A true FPS has the player looking through the sites, or if the gun is not at eye/shoulder level there wouldn't be an aiming reticule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be more of a vanity thing, but it'd be so smooth if we saw a transition of these views with a camera pan through the protagonist's head so we're at immediate eye-level. I can't think of a game for comparison, but you get what I mean surely. Your idea on increasing aiming accuracy is a good one too; crouching makes you more of a sharpshooter, why not let more hardcore GTA veterans switch to first person and take their prey out the old fashioned way? Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicko Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I think, if GTA were to be completely rehashed and transformed into a mandatory FPS, as I've stated elsewhere, it would destroy the whole persona. We've come to know and love the views in the past franchises, and the haven't degraded the game in any way, so why change it? Granted, I'd still buy the game, but I can almost guarantee it wouldn't hit off when compared to previous titles. With that said, I do think adding a optional FPS camera view into the game would be feasible. You start the game with the regular view, and for the minority of gamers who would prefer to experience GTA from a first person view, the option is their for them to toggle.

Shamrock910 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Where is one of those people that always have the petitions?

Girish Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 An option for a first person view sounds fine to me. I'd probably never use it though; never been a huge fan of fps games. Besides, GTA has always been a third person action adventure game. That is how people have enjoyed it so far and that is how it is meant to be actually. A sandbox game like GTA needs you to have an entire view of your main character. Imagine if GTA IV had been a fps game. Would it be fun to not see Niko break open the locks of cars or jump into convertibles or push aside peds and insult them or climb ladders? These small things is what makes GTA what it is; more fun! Frankly speaking, I don't see much fun in GTA through the first person view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might like to check out these titles :-Boiling Point: Road to Hell - A very good mixture of Far Cry (FPS action), GTA (missions, vehicles, huge explorable area) and Deus Ex- like roleplay elements , really awesome with good graphics ! -White Gold: War in Paradise - The successor to Boiling Point Check them out, albeit somewhat buggy, they are excellent FPS sandbox games with GTA elements like tens of vehicles etc. As for GTA NeXt, maybe a camera option of FPS mode would be nice, but the game has always been 3rd person and maybe it should stay as the default view. I'll youtube those l8er. Another thing about the idea of a first person GTA is the concept of vanity is gone. Think about it; how can you purchase clothes for a character you can only see the arms and feet of? Okay, so you may be able to see your character's attire in the reflection of a passing car or window, but that'd be about it. How about an option for 3rd person when ya do stuff like steal cars or get busted or wasted? Or 3rd person driving like in Halo? Meh. How about clothing affecting people's descisions on ya or the ladies? z They should have FPS as an option like in MGS4. MGS4 is a TPS, but while aiming if you hold down another button it'll go to FPS. It wouldn't hurt to have auto-aim applied to it either. The thing about FPS is that you can see where you shoot. Like remember it past GTAs if you fire an assault rifle simitaneously it'll lose accuracy? In a FPS you can try to reposition the aiming better than TPS as you can see where the gun is pointing. And I wouldn't want one of those crappy gun-to-side-and-fixed-reticule FPS as they aren't true FPS. A true FPS has the player looking through the sites, or if the gun is not at eye/shoulder level there wouldn't be an aiming reticule. Down the sites FTW. And yeah, I remember in Vice City the Kruger sucked. But I dont bother with presciosion aiming whilst using classic controls. And do you see anyone hold their guns in the corner of their veiw whilst fiuring it? NO!! Where is one of those people that always have the petitions? I think they would pay more attention to those, at least if they get enough people. More camera options, number one focus on 1st person. I'd sign it. I'll say that I wont be sending such a radical petetion to rockstar. A n option for a first person view sounds fine to me. I'd probably never use it though; never been a huge fan of fps games. Besides, GTA has always been a third person action adventure game. That is how people have enjoyed it so far and that is how it is meant to be actually. A sandbox game like GTA needs you to have an entire view of your main character. Imagine if GTA IV had been a fps game. Would it be fun to not see Niko break open the locks of cars or jump into convertibles or push aside peds and insult them or climb ladders? These small things is what makes GTA what it is; more fun! Frankly speaking, I don't see much fun in GTA through the first person view. In a FPS I belive you can see the guy do all those things you mentioned in the eyeveiw. And with high detail. And climbing ladders would be incredibly realistic. No. GTA is a 3rd person shooter. Keep it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
