Rhino (tank) might return?

Hey everyone

I was watching the trailer and noticed a vehicle driving on the dirt road next to the wind turbine. I looked closely and played it over and over and it appears to be a tank. If so this means military bases o.O What are your thoughts??

The logical thing to conclude is that, if there is a fighter jet, then there should be a tank.

But...it's R*, we can't expect anything, i guess. confused.gif

The Vehicle driving on the dirt path is any of the following.

 

Mesa.

The Unknown Military Truck under the bridge.

Rancher.

Patriot.

Bobcat.

 

It isn't large enough to be a tank, nor does it have any reason for being a tank.

 

It just appears to be a 4x4 of some description.

If it is a Rhino, hope it actually crushes cars that run into it instead of them bouncing off the tank like rubber balls thrown against a wall.

Creating moving tank tracks in 3D isn't so easy and I think it's a bit intensive on RAM/graphics, and then to have them crush cars properly would be more work, I think this is why no Rhinos were in IV, but now they have some solid coding ground to stand on, it may be possible, but I think it will depend on the damage setup V has, it may be the same (outdated) crap damage system from IV or we may get something that a leading title should have in 2012.

 

On a side note (and half irrelevant) GTA SA only recently-ish got a 3D tank tracks mod, and they had to use CLEO3 to do it.

I can't make it out, but no way in heck it's a tank! It's not a Jeep either, from what I can tell. I think someone with the still-ZOOMing software needs to cap some shots for us?!??

 

@MM, From my memory of Tank stealing in Las Venturas, It would cause cars to blow up on impact, not bounce off

Rockstar did confirm there would be military after a 5 star wanted level, although it would be referred to as the National Guard.

 

One big dissapointment from GTA IV was no army at 6 stars, just a rain of gunfire...

That was a guy on 4chan, not R*, it's all still speculation.

That couldnt be a tank, just cause its moving too quikly. Tanks should move slower, alltough there are tanks that are quite fast. But that vehicle didnt seem too big. I actually thaught it was something like the racing 4x4 that was in VC and SA. I would like a tank, ONLY when i can really crush cars. Otherwise pointless.

Hope there's tanks this time and they

were at least in similarly realism, as the

tanks in Mercenaries 2 - World in flames.

That isn't a tank in the scene that your describing, I don't think. However I think they may make a return

Yeah, I would like for it to return.

 

But I'd rather the Hydra fighter jet to return.

Agreed. IMO, a tank in GTA V is a longshot. They are already pushing the boundaries of the game graphics wise. Why add more "stress" to the engine? Of course, I am talking out my @$$ due to lack of Xbox 360 capability knowledge. Would someone more knowledgable have a go?

That ain't the Rhino, If it was, you should immediately notice its gun barrel.

If GTA V is set in present day, I doubt we will see a tank. Maybe some other form of military vehicles.

But it would be nice if there are side mission where you can go vigilante or rescue like fly a chopper and save people

stranded out at sea.

I doubt there will be rhino tanks, but there's a bigger chance of seeing the noose tank back imo, i just hope it can handle more explosions before catching fire, the one in Tbogt already cought fire if you drove through two exploding vehicles. dontgetit.gif

When did they say that?

When I saw that in the trailer, my first thought was that it was some kind of SUV like a Mesa or something.

 

To be honest when I saw it, I wasn't really trying to identify the vehicle. Instead I was too busy being impressed at the particle effects of all the dust it was throwing up.

GRINCH ASS BITCH
it may be the same (outdated) crap damage system from IV

Wait, what? The dynamic vehicle damage from GTA:IV was one of my favorite aspects of the game...

 

If that system was outdated, then just about every other game made after 2007 that featured cars must have been years behind (considering the fact that most games have horrible vehicle damage and physics).

I don't know, IV can't have a tank because the city is too small

and it won't be fun to ride tanks in the city.

And because V might be only LS, they won't put tanks this time too.

A tank might be a bit far-fetched. Now a military base with light armored assault vehicles may be a different story. Perhaps we'll see updated versions of the Flatbed and mabe the APC. Expect something along those lines but I don't see why the Hunter, Sea Sparrow, and the Buzzard won't be making another appearance.

that wasn't a tank in the trailer, but i hope they come back because that means they will also be used against you at 6 stars biggrin.gif
