Kwandilibro Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Isn't dodging the traffic part of the fun? You sound like one of those people who suck at driving, so you blame the game. If you can't drive fast without crashing, don't do it... No. Dodging traffic is not fun when I have to worry about a damn near stationary car every 3 feet. The traffic in IV never failed to amaze me. The drivers were too slow, too stupid, and generally acted like they all belonged in a nursing home. And highways, there definitely need to be highways with more than two lanes each way.

gabypoux Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 agree with all your points. I would love to really have some long stretches of freeway to just strap an moto or a lambo without being interrupted by a traffic light or waves of turtle peds doing 60 on a fkn highway. If your English (it's OK I am too) maybe you don't know that American highway speed limit is 50 MPH. I would love 4 lane freeways, I think thats the standard in US. I was actually expecting it in SA, but only 2 lanes, same for IV actually (i'm thinking of the raised freeway), so maybe we should be too hopeful of it. The American Highway Speed limits varies for each state but the highest speed limit is of 75 MPH, not 50. In California, the highest limits are of 70MPH on the rural freeways and 65 on the urban freeways. Source: Speed Limits in the United States-Wikipedia I hope we'll be able to cruise on HUGE highways with big interchanges. It would also be great to make the AI drivers go faster on the freeways like some others said before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be what we see in general on movies, and also what i've been told by someone who visited the states. See in "the Fast and The Furious #1" you get a view of the speedo, it say's 80 KPH (at his top speed) which is around 50/55 MPH. It was always funny to me that they're actually racing really slow.

mubd Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) This would be fun on a wet night and you simply want to cause carmageddon: It shouldn't happen if you're normally driving, however. Edited December 2, 2011 by mubd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeebuuus Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I did notice 4-5 lane stretch of freeway in the trailer where it panned up to the sign. I think that is bigger than any GTA so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually expecting it in SA, but only 2 lanes, same for IV actually (i'm thinking of the raised freeway), so maybe we shouldn't be too hopeful of it. The highest speed limits I ever saw were 80 mph in west Texas on I 10 (When it passes through basically the middle of nowhere). The standard for highways in the us vary on whether it is a us highway,interstate, or state highway. The stand for interstates is 2 lanes in each direction with them usually growing to 4 lanes in urban areas, us highways can also grow that big but have a lower standard. Some highways can be as large as 20+ lanes (including shoulders. Etc) in major cities. I would recommend you look it up on wiki for the details as it is quite interesting to learn about the standards and other things about the highways in the us.

locolow2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I just want them to fix 1 thing: I absolutely hate that cars change lanes for no reason, and they never look so 99% they crash into you or if you're going fast, they get in your way. TBH i dont care about the other things, this is the only major concern to me when it comes to highways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipGore Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 LA >>>>>> Think about the Freeways. It HAS to be a major role in the game no matter what. If it doesn't, it would be a disappointment. Also the guy is right, the AI has to go real freeway speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_jada Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 The thing in Liberty City i didn't like was when im trying to drive around the city normally stopping at all the red light's Etc. A.I doesn't seem to recognise your existence, and try and move into your space, The same goes when your driving down a freeway, they just cut you up at every possible opportunity. As for the freeways in SA, they were terribly unrealistic, Only a few slight improvements on gta4 and Bob's ya Uncle. I personally want road's and traffic to be as realistic as possible, and hopefully that's what i get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reebokanonymous Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I agree that the cars changing lanes sucks. Not only that, but sometimes cars will just go completely perpendicular to the road when you're driving fast, especially on bridges it seems. Of course I wouldn't mind cars changing lanes, but if they did it more realistically I would be happy. Overall, though, I really enjoyed the driving in IV, and dodging traffic was often a joy, and I kick ass at it, so I impress all the ladies. I really hope V has a lot of racing, though, and I've mentioned before that I think it would be cool to have a street racing plot interwoven with the main storyline, or included as DLC. Racing on the interstate would be quite a rush, but only if they fix some annoying bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTAknowledge Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I agree with your points. The major roads in GTA IV were still too small. It was hard to reach quick speeds without having to slow down for a corner or be blocked by cars waiting to pay the road toll. But i'm sure there will be many country roads where traveling should be easy with minimal traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mubd Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 I think there should still be toll booths, but there should also be FasTrak (electronic tolling) lanes on toll roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
