grope_4_that_date Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 What bridges are you refering to? 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. XTREME0, you might want to look where the real bridge is.

SGT. Johnson Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Hmm, we all seem to have forgotten about the Occupy Wall Street Movement now haven't we? They ARE present in Los Angeles and R* COULD put them in as a parody. You'll se protestors forming a line across the bridge or sitting on the bridge, halting traffic from progressing. the police would be present with a bullhorn and riot gear for aesthetics. This would be an interesting twist as they did something like this before in LCS. There was a strike going on in the docks area, and every time you went past the "pickett line" you would be beaten by the protestors with metal bats; this time, the brideg would have Occupy Wall Street Protestors on both sides, and the police would have the bridge completely blocked off with barriers, making it impossible, if you got through, to cross. The barriers would be immobile and you'd be shot at by police because, the protestors are on the bridge, which means you just killed them with a vehicle. If you try to walk across it, the police will mistke you for a protestor and will either pepper spray you or beat you senseless with their knightsticks.

Stinky12 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 There's was a wildfire not to long ago if I remember correctly, maybe they can use that for the reason bridges are closed. They really do have a fire watch and specifically for LA and Ventura counties http://calfire.blogspot.com/ edit: Looks like someone mentioned wildfires too.

Slamman Posted November 30, 2011 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. That's a stretch going from one to the other. You should point out the Hurricane of Vice City, or the Terrorist threats of GTA 3 and GTA IV...more on point with the topic, but either way, since no one knows, it's complete speculation what bridges, and where.

Coral_City Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 • GTA LCS (Liberty City Stories): Can't remember this one, sorry. Bridge under construction. Darnit, almost a pattern! e.g. Vice City --> Hurricane, Hurricane Liberty City --> Terrorist, Construction, Terrorist San Andreas --> Earthquake ?

SGT. Johnson Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 • GTA San Andreas: Earthquake. I didn't know that. Wrong; it was something related to terror, because going to those other cities gave you 4-Star Wanted Level. This would explain why Tenpenny was allowed to go out of Los Santos without trouble. He is a cop and they have authority during terror and heightened security. EDIT: DERP! Silly me. Disregard what said before. GTA San Andreas: Earthquake WRONG!!!

zachmt123 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 In GTA LCS, the bridges were under construction. Anyways, in GTA V I think it will have bridges/roads closed by the police due to drug smuggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnyBlack Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 It's been mentioned, but I think the idea of wildfires would be neat. Maybe have certain roads blocked off by wildfires and if you try to drive through it your car catches fire and explodes. I like this idea the most because R* could make it interesting to look at, such as showing firefighters trying to beat back the flames, and even have helicopters hovering by dumping large amounts of water to try to stamp out the fire. There can be news reports that the efforts to put out the fire are ongoing until you reach a certain point in the story. Afterwords you'll get a report that the fires have finally be put out and it's now safe to travel. I also thought about being in trouble with the law from the start and not being allowed to travel too far out without catching the police's attention. Although some reasons I thought of made it sound too close to SA, like being framed by corrupt cops and such. But chances are the areas will be locked due to threats of earthquakes. Which is kind of boring I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA San Andreas: Carl was warned by Tenpenny to "not leave town" Thanks for that, OP updated. If Rockstar decide that they want to have all the major bridges open from the very start then I'm fine with that personally, but I feel that it's become a tradition for them to have the bridges closed and opened as you progress through the game. Is there a reason you write in Dark Green? You might as well ask Narcis if there is a reason that he posts in orange, either way it's irrelevant to discussion.

llpalm08 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 What about UFO crash but the media says its a toxic plane crash and then when you open up the other areas you get some crazy yokels saying about it but you have no way of finding out because when you start the game and use cheats to take away the wanted level you find a big forensic tent over the crash site. Would definantly bring back some of the fun from SA while still being able to keep the seriousness and realistic approach as you never actually see the UFO.

Do you know how tempted I would be to plow through there with a car? It'd be the first thing I'd do in the game. While I'd yell "Occupy my wheel wells suckers!" Yeah I know it's messed up but I'd do it, and I'm not afraid to admit it. (well in the game at least.) Anyhow the "terrorist threat" of IV always made me laugh, so I'd like to see something like that or the Occupy thing that Sgt. mentioned, as I've been wanting them parodied in V.

But you would never actually see the UFO as it would be covered up with a tent and the public would be told its just a plane crash thats leaking toxic fumes from what it was carrying. Plus i'm sure if you go into the countryside around LA itself you will find some people who claim to have seen a UFO. Plus Bigfoot is on the police badge so they might bring back the UFO myths back aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrohogs Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 About time when we are provided with a GTAV which has the bridges open from the beginning. This is San Andreas so the main reasons for block won't be any natural disaster. It will be any corrupt police deed or any construction work. As far as terrorist threat I say no.

XTREME0235 Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 As I mentioned before it would be nice to be granted a game where the bridges are open from the beginning of the game, but if they did that then there would have to be/should be a substitute in order to prevent you from accessing the other islands. I saw that someone mentioned you would get an instant 4 star wanted level if you crossed one of the borders, which would be a really nice idea in my opinion.

J-B Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I take it most of you have never played TLaD or BoGT, or heck, even Chinatown Wars... All completely open from the start. As I've said before using the episodes as examples in this context isn't a very good argument. They were DLC first and foremost. It would have been pointless for Rockstar to lock the map when most of the people playing would have known the map already , and you have to account the amount of missions and pacing as well compared to standard IV. I don't care whether the map is locked or not but seeing the trend continue in RDR makes me doubt it won't be in V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
