XTREME0235 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Hey everyone. So as we all (or most of us GTA fans know) that in every GTA that has two or more islands with bridges connecting them, they are closed from the beginning of the game to prevent you from crossing over to the other islands but for a particular reason. Here is the list of events with their corresponding GTA title that caused the main bridges in them to be closed. • GTA III: Terrorist Attack. • GTA Vice City: Hurricane Hermione. • GTA San Andreas: Carl was warned by Tenpenny to "not leave town". • GTA VCS (Vice City Stories): Hurricanes again. • GTA LCS (Liberty City Stories): Bridge under construction. • GTA IV: Terrorist threats against Liberty City. • GTA V: ? What do you think the reason will be for having the main bridges in GTA V closed, if they are closed at all. Will it be a cause of terrorism like GTA IV, or a natural disaster like GTA Vice City? I would like you to share your thoughts, so please do. Note: This topic is different from the topic 'How will parts of the map be unlockable?', in that topic the OP asks how parts of the map will be unlocked e.g: complete a certain mission that requires you to cross over. This topic discusses what you think the reason will be for the bridges to be closed in the first place.

XTREME0235 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Please take notice of the note I provided at the bottom of my opening post before trying to help by directing me to a topic I already mentioned that this wasn't related to.

GTAWithStyle Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I think it's time that we have the whole map available from the start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA36362355 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Is it compulsory for them to lock the parts of the map every time? The whole map might be open to explore since the beginning of the game, this time. Edit: @GTAWithStyle You posted before me but I thought that before you.

Hobo-Lord Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Why don't we just be on house arrest or something? Makes soooo much f*cking sense. Like, we cant leave the city because it would violate the house arrest law (idk what its called) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I wouldn't say Rockstar considers it compulsory but more or less a way of adding more depth into what the game is about in some terms. I realize that the bridges being closed may not have a big impact of the story but who knows, we may get that with GTA V. I personally think that the cause will be another natural disaster, possibly another earthquake or possible light flooding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-B Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Maybe some mudslides have blocked all roads leaving LS or wherever it is that you start the game since those happen in California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA36362355 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) @Hobo-Lord Doesn't match the trailer's narration. Maybe they can simply have us "wanted" due to the crimes we did in the past. We would get busted when we halt at the "check"post or get 4 stars when we break it. @GTAGaming1 Didn't you change your custom member title to "Admin" again?? Wannabe admin says "Locked"!!

Vegetarian Piranha Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 but in the trailer he didnt sound like a wanted man, he sounds like he's moved away from that sh*t and wants to restart his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA36362355 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) He moved out of the country where he had a criminal past (maybe Mexico) but the Federal Ministerial Police has his crime-file which leads his status to "wanted". So, We would get busted when we halt at the "check"post or get 4 stars when we break it. We can roam the map freely after a period during which our wanted status gets dropped.

The same man you are talking about is a 45+ year old white male who looks like he is already fiscally set and doing well with a family. The worst possible protagonist for a Grand Theft Auto Game. Maybe it's me, but Its hard to believe that such a person could envelop what we will play as the protagonist in the first place. same shout out for Chevy Chasegta6 @GTAGaming1 I want to kill you.

GTA36362355 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 "Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather, Or the, I don't know that thing, that magic, You see it in the movies, I wanted to retire from what I was doing, You know, from that, that line of work, Be a good guy for once, a family man, So, I bought a big house, came here, put my feet up, Thought I'd be a dad like all the other dad's, My kids, will be like the kids on TV, we play ball and sit in the sun, But, well, you know how it is." The last line says that he is the protagonist. Sorry for the off-topic post. Just trying to prove that the reason I said for the map to remain locked is valid.

Im going to full heartingly agree with you. But I'm going to enjoy the bliss of ignorance instead of the suicidal thoughts when I realize I'm going to be an old man who cant run a mile without a heart attack, has probably developed cataracts, his sex drive is zero (not me), already has money, recognition, etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locolow2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I think its gonna be like Vice City, only instead of a hurricane its an earthquake alert. I was thinking migration control but you dont play as an immigrant so nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they want us to play through one mission and unlock the rest of the islands, I dont think this is plausible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xUSMC SSGTx Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 What do you think the reason will be for having the main bridges in GTA V closed, if they are closed at all. What bridges are you refering to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTREME0235 Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 What bridges are you refering to? Any of the main bridges in the next game that may cross over a large amount of water space. Take the bridge shown in the background when that guy is on the Jet Ski in the first trailer as an example for one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bridge Is a bad example since it goes over a harbor and isn't really like the bridges that IV had. I think my mudslide idea would be a bit more logical given the geography.

I could see mudslides being a possibility to be honest. An opening to the game could be a news broadcast showing the recent events of the mudslide going through the city and the actual part you start playing is set a few days or weeks after it happened. This could be portrayed by council cleaning up the mess, most of which ended up on the openings to the bridges making them inaccessible until everything is cleaned up to a satisfactory standard.

While being remotely possible, this would be stressful from a game development point of view. The standard bridge closed trend, like someone said, is part of the GTA series, I hope they keep it because it gives the player something to look forward to.

Vegetarian Piranha Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I hope they keep it because it gives the player something to look forward to. this i totaly agree with, each time i unlocked a new section it felt like a new world especially with LC i just couldnt wait to get to the main city. so maybe there could be a massive crime scene in one section and a dangerous riot/protest in another.
