supermortalhuman Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 This explains the Limo sequence - it wasn't scripted just for the trailer, and I told you they were liars!

..GhosT Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Cuz the object says limo, its not a limo depot. It can be something like LimitMo... or something, there are also streets and bottles which are called limo_ So, who parks a limousine in the middle of the street or inside a bottle?

General Goose Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Interesting find there. It would have been fun, but somewhat unrealistic and bad for the story (a limo company in the slums of Broker run by an unsuccessful immigrant would be unrealistic.)

SLAYERMAGGOT Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 The file doesn't hint that Roman had a Limousine depot. "limo" could mean something different too, what i guess. AFAIK in some preview they told that Niko could call for limousines like he can for taxis on mobile phone.

TheGreyGhost Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Not necessarily. They said that Roman ran a taxi/cab depot in the earliest of previews so I doubt he was going to run a limo service from the start. I think originally, instead of changing his taxis to Cavaclades near the end of the game they were originally going to have him start a limo service, but they probably had problems with the AI driving the limo to pick Niko up so they just switched it to Cavaclades for some reason. Thats just my theory though. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/433704-roman-ran-limos-instead-of-cabs/?do=findComment&comment=1059653414 Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermortalhuman Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) Cuz the object says limo, its not a limo depot. It can be something like LimitMo... or something, there are also streets and bottles which are called limo_ So, who parks a limousine in the middle of the street or inside a bottle? lol do you guys see what I put up with? "just cause it's called limo doesn't mean the trailer with niko in the limo also points to the car service being about a limo and we got taxi's instead for some reason along the lines of keeping niko broke and saving the glamor for 'Tony instead"(note: Not "cab" service in the phone, but "car" service - more commonly associated with chauffeur style car services, not cabby style cab services). All of the reactions I get feel the same. nevermind the fact that it is just long enough to fit a stretch... Nevermind that we saw Niko in a Limo then never rode in one and were told "Oh, we scripted that for the trailer only" Well, there wasn't much else that was done like that, so why just that one scene? Why go through the trouble unless it was already a feature? Oh no, it's called limo because they couldn't spell cab @grey ghost: Good theory, indeed! I wonder if the depot was originally not going to be burnt down as well, or if roman would have gotten THAT depot at the point where he calls niko and says he got one (though we never see it and it isn't on the map anywhere) - maybe in the beta, only the apartment burnt down, maybe they burnt that too, and maybe the theory about the AI is true (it has a hard enough time with cabs ) Edited November 25, 2009 by supermortalhuman Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/433704-roman-ran-limos-instead-of-cabs/?do=findComment&comment=1059653674 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic_Al Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 My theory is that limo riding was removed because they couldn't make it work to watch the TV in the back. Cool idea, right? Probably a technical nightmare though. Rather than remodel the limo interior to remove the TV, they changed vehicles.

d00d Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 It could be a model that was to be used somewhere else in the game. In one of the trailers it had Niko riding in the back of a limo but who knows. Good programming means that stuff is re-used, why make two seperate depots taking up twice as much space, when you can just use roughly one model for everything?

No. As for the Topic, yeah it's possible. But then the whole Plot would have to be changed Niko & Roman were meant to be poor.

supermortalhuman Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 My old next door neighbors ran a cab business and even drove the same kinds of cars as Roman's cab business (literally - barely marked, an off color left fender) - without a depot. They ran it from their home Down the road there is a ghetto-homey-owned car garage and limo service. Very low class area and look to the place, but it is popular and used and the cars are nice. Just wanted to mention those. Also, next time you are driving a limo, park it in there. then imagine a car next to it on the short side - I think it was supposed to be a limo service, and it was supposed to be that instead of the cavalcade as was mentioned earlier (good theory about the AI drivers ) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/433704-roman-ran-limos-instead-of-cabs/?do=findComment&comment=1059655987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
