nocunoct Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Hello ladies and gentleman (mostly gentleman )! I'm here to ask you if you think we'll be seeing a metro system in LS, as real-life Los Angeles has one + A new bus system, and the already introduced Taxi system (which I find very useful!). Personally, I disliked that in SA, the 3 cities lacked PT; if only the trams in San Fierro were something else than just moving scenery... Yes, SA has a train going around the state, but it only has 4 stops and you can't board the passenger coach! And I miss the times where you could steal a bus and pick up people for money in VC... The LACMTA was formed until 1993, one year after the SA's events, justifying the lack of PT in Los Santos, but now that it's going to be in present time, the most realistic thing to do would be including a shiny Metro system, and why not, a Bus system and a renovated taxi system; the Bus system was to be included in IV, but R* decided not to use it. Leave your ideas here if you want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackrob Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Posted this in trailer analysis a while back after a dispute about railway catenary in the trailer. Might be of interest to you. Just to clear this all up, In the photo by the interstate (with the big road sign), it is not a power-line. The picture posted by mr.e with the copycat Audi R8 is obviously a electricity pylon/power-line, but I can guarantee you in the other picture, It is railway/metro catenary. This is THE TYPE OF CATENARY THE LA METRO USES on its light rail lines. Furthermore It also features in other parts of the trailer, something that another user pointed out a little while back on the trailer analysis thread (can't remember his/her username) . Also to add to that, those power-lines/pylons featuring in mr.e's photo (with the Audi) are usually in excess of 100 ft tall and would tower over that interstate, much like they do in mr.e's latest post. See photos below. 1st Image Original. With catenary masts outlined. 2nd Image Original. With catenary masts outlined. ALSO, I would suggest that those lines look funny, because of rendering/draw distances issues, and that actually there are other catenary masts that do not feature in that picture due to these issues, because of that. Not sure if that made any sense to you guys, but I hope you get the gist. I think its safe to say that the LA metro will be include and that is what is featured in the above photos. case closed. EDIT- Pictures resized now. Sorry if I f*cked up the page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
