About the parachute

[Leo Colt]

It still looks much bluer than GTA IV. Quite refreshing in fact.

TLAD had that gritty, tan like filter. TBOGT probably has a flashy, blue color.

[SirPsychoSexy]

I'd say that the parachute is available 24/7.

 

Hanging onto trucks was a one mission feature for a reason.

It was an act of desperation from Niko.

 

The parachute is pretty much planned I think.

And it's a tool.

 

No one goes around climbing on the roofs on trucks for fun

while a lot of people skydive for fun!

[FruntalotHinterland]

I think it is only for rooftops

[OysterBarron]

after seeing the angle of witch the screenshots have been taken it appears as if its a cutscene.

 

but after seeing the gameplay photo im not sure now perhaps only in that mission. but i hope to hell they make it like SA everytime you get into a helicopter you automatically get one that would be ace.

[JOSEPH X]

C`mon guys, you can see from the Gamecrazy pic that it`s not a cutscene. That`s the regular third person view of gameplay, complete with mini-map, and you never get those in cutscenes. Whether it`s one mission only idk, but you will have to at least deploy it.

[EncryptedReality]

U can even see the mission objective text so deffinetly no cutscene.

[Seddo]

I've just got a feeling that it will be just for that mission only but if Rockstar had any sence then they'll make it so it's able to be used any time.

yeah r* doesnt make any sense most of the time

i really hope they do now though

restricting the parachute to ''mission only'' would be a very very very very very veeeeryy stupid choice

How do you know that's the missions objective text? It could be instructional text to show you how to deploy your chute, like in San Andreas.

I think Rockstar knows better also, they know we want more features and I'm pretty sure they're not going to limit our parachute abilities to just a mission or two.

What's the point of that really? Everyone would be not too happy and such, it wouldn't be cool on these forums cause everyone would complain.

[Punk-in-Drublic]

Yeah, I can see the parachute being for one mission only and then seeing masses and masses of threads moaning and crying about it, all of which will be locked.

Not Happy? They simply would have to be put in a mental asylum, If that was the choice of Rockstars Stupidity.

Bump

[Guns N R0se]

In the trailer it is shown being used on two separate occasions. Out of a Helicopter and off Rotterdam Tower. This leads me to believe it's a 24/7 feature. I can't see you having to parachute for 2 missions...

[shinsta312]

Well, it looks like parachuting will be 24/7, but only as a minigame.

[JOSEPH X]

crikey, according to the spain scans, it`s a mini-game,

[Magic_Al]

How is "minigame" different than base jumping in San Andreas? Parachutes spawn in certain locations that are good for base jumping. Does minigame mean that instead of the parachute being a pickup that goes into a weapon slot you can use anywhere, you only get the parachute when you enter a marker and you can only base jump from that spot? Well look on the bright side I guess.

San Andreas base jumping wasn't really a minigame. IV's version probably means that the parachute is not an obtainable item, and is only available when you enter a marker or something like that.

 

In other words, parachuting is limited to use in the minigame only.

[Leo Colt]

It could just be that there happens to be an additional minigame where you need to base jump and then land on a target or something, like in San Andreas.

but I seriously think that we would only have the parachute in that minigame only.

[bobgtafan]

I really starting to lean towards it's just 24/7.

[Cilogy]

Well, damn ... I guess I was wrong. If the Spanish preview says we can base jump as a mini-game then I change my view to "can be used 24/7."

[Schweppez]

I shall parachute ontop of those towers pipe things that have fire shooting out of them

[Lollercoaster]

I hope we can use it wherever we want, I just don't hope there are markers where we have to jump from.

[foohy]

I hope we can use it wherever we want, I just don't hope there are markers where we have to jump from.

I'm 100% sure that you can jump from anywhere anytime for several reasons:

-Didn't a preview say that once you complete the 15 base jumps that a parachute spawns outside your safehouse?

-All the pictures of Luis using the parachute are at different places.

-The official BOGT website shows that the parachute uses a weapon spot like in San Andreas. If it takes a weapon spot then that means that you don't just jump via a cutscene or something and that you ARE in control of Luis when he has a non-deployed on his back.

 

There's really no denying it.

[Insane Kane]

R* wouldnt add it just for the mini game that would be stupid and piss alot of people off. You probably unlock it after the minigames which was told 15 of them.

[The 7th Number]

The website updated the weapons page and parachute is one of the new items. So it can be used 24/7.

exactly

[timthelegend93]

you know the protagonist is falling he screams or something or goes 'oh sh*t' for nico (not sure if he does) dont you think it would be comic to hear luis go:

 

'why didnt i bring my f*cking parachute man?'

 

if you dont have one equiped for instance if it takes up a slot of lets say the big weapon, and you'd rather have a rocket launcher, or it has its own slot but you dont have one on you.

 

sorry for the irrevelancy its just its to do with parachutes and i didnt think it was worthy of an entire new thread

[Shaunr]

I'm really hoping that it's freely available for us at any time, but I can see it only being available during certain points in the game.

uhm, you guys. it has already been confirmed that you can use it freely outside of mission. jeez. listen!
