Master of San Andreas Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Hi All........ So We all know that rockstar are prone to remove features that usually featured in the game. So far gta v has released some screenshots showing business,leisure and transport. Before I begin for those who are wondering by what 'BETA' means.... It is something which actually featured in the game,but was removed from the final version for either limitations ( of platforms ) or unknown reasons. The Screenshots have amazed us,but is it really going to happen, I don't say MANY features will be removed,but some will ( my opinion ) be removed like: Tennis minigame. The tennis minigame is something new to the series and has got everyone excited. But you may have noticed the slightly poor details in the picture than other pictures. So maybe rockstar are slightly unsure or there is some problem? Now for those who say,"Why would rockstar release a screenshot if they would remove it?" Here's Proof: The School Bus in GTA III was to be featured but was removed,why? rockstar did not say but here is the beta picture. Now for some who say " The PS3 and Xbox 360 can handle anything...." Gta 4 had beta features too, infact the map was much like chinatown wars and the minigun was originaly supposed to return ,so it dosen't mean the limitations too it can also be some kind of problem..... It will be good if They try to limit the BETA features though.. Links: Beta Releases Beta Places Beta Characters Beta Weapons From GtaWikia Conclusion: We must wait until R* give the game info themselves. Well Thats it!

Hvitdverg Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Ok? I think most people are aware of this And what we have seen so far, will be in the game, rockstar has stated that they only show Things that are 100% sure 2 be in the game Edited September 6, 2012 by Hvitdverg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamieleng Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I think it's pretty obvious why the school bus was removed from III. I don't think R* want to repeat any mistakes for this game. I don't believe they'll tease people with removed features again. Just like they haven't given a release date they might bot be able to meet.

Yeah,but if something forces them to it will be very irritating SA by far had the best BETA features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algonquin Assassin Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Was the above pic an official screenshot? I also can't remember seeing Niko with a minigun even in BETA pics. I think R* were quite specific with these sceenshots. What has been shown so far will more than likely be in the game IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurvenflo Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 What has been shown so far will more than likely be in the game IMO. Indeed. In the Juy A&A R* said, they're going to only release 100% correct information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriaan Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 It's not really fair to compare the beta screenshots of "GTA 3D" to the official GTA III screenshots. Things have really changed a lot since then. I don't think you'll see something similar happening, especially not so close to release. There was a clear distinction between the very early assets released for "GTA 3D" and GTA III back then (including 3ds max renders). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn 7 five 11 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Before I begin for those who are wondering by what 'BETA' means.... It is something which actually featured in the game,but was removed from the final version for either limitations ( of platforms ) or unknown reasons. That's not what Beta means at all, Beta means an earlier build of the game, it is a name for a stage of development. But you are right in saying that some games remove stuff that was in the Beta build or an earlier build (Eg fingerless gloves GTA IV) I think V is a little bit past the Beta build anyway, look at GTA III's beta and GTA V's screenshots, GTA III beta looks little like the actual game.

R* seem very anal about this game and getting it right before it's released. Though I respect your opinion aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriaan Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Also, yeah, GTAIV minigun!!?? I read every preview there was for GTAIV, including the translated magazine roundups by members here, and there was never any mention of a minigun. The only thing that was mentioned which didn't end up in game was bus routes and a button to open car trunks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that was mentioned which didn't end up in game was bus routes and a button to open car trunks. I think the removal of the ability to climb a telephone pole was stupid. Even if it wouldn't earn them a lot of praise in comparison to all the other stuff in the game, how can it hurt as long as programming is executed properly?

Well see that's often why they do remove things last minute, because it hasn't been properly implemented and it's buggy. Bugs and glitches make the game look bad, especially obvious ones, there are reasons for removing these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't telephone poles in NYC... it's all underground. So that makes sense. EDIT: Actually, just had a look and there's some in the residential neighborhood to the left of the airport. I suppose this is another example of them wanting GTAIV to be very realistic, in that those poles have the ladder steps start above human height (you'd need an extra ladder to get up there).

The only thing that was mentioned which didn't end up in game was bus routes and a button to open car trunks. I remeber seeing a BETA IV when someone found the weapon data for the minigun, apparently R* took it out because they thought it was "unrealistic". (Also the Minigun was VEEERRRY powerful from what I read, it could blow up a car in one hit, would have been perfect for those buzzard trolls.)

YukiEiri Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Remember the fingerless gloves? We've seen them on the biker in the "gtfo here" scene. /trolling Well, I did not mind that we could not climb the poles.. It would not have been very useful IMO anyway. So yeah, some things might get removed, but I bet they have a good reason to take them away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriaan Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 @GTAction99 Ah, cool. I wonder if they used the remaining code to do add the minigun mod... I've seen it in Vice City Rage, which is running on the GTAIV engine of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Mitch_Baker Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 V looks to be way past Beta stage, I'd bet they're just polishing things up now. And you assume that because 2 peds are playing tennis that there will be a Tennis minigame, which is hardly confirmation of a feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it wouldn't earn them a lot of praise in comparison to all the other stuff in the game, how can it hurt as long as programming is executed properly? Yep,would have been fun have a bird’s eye view of Liberty City from the top a telephone pole. This is the preview where Rockstar spoke about it. GI;Is it possible to climb on a ladder? ROCKSTAR;I didn’t see Niko climb a ladder, per se, but I did see him ascend a telephone pole to get a bird’s eye view of Liberty City. He didn’t climb up it like a gorilla, however. He simply pulled himself up on the series of rungs on the pole. This feat was actually quite impressive. You could clearly see his weight transfer from side to side as he moved up the pole.

Wasn't there a mission where you blow them up or something? I believe you're thinking of the removed 'Darkel' missions, which were more like scripted rampage missions. @Master of San An. The only thing that would annoy me is if the dog in the trailer was just a tease. Especially since they have already coded them in RDR. Plus they already started the golf mini game in TBOGT. So don't let me down R* North. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R* is rather infamous for constantly delaying release dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allmyexesliveintexas Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 We are sorry if you find this frustrating, but please understand, we don’t do this because we ‘don’t care about our fans’ ‘don’t respect our fans’ ‘hate GTA fans etc’ – precisely the opposite! We do it because we want to make sure we only release 100% correct information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since I have not played that in .. 10 years or so .. don't bet on me remembering anything correctly. GTA 2 HAD bus stops clearly marked at the sidewalks at least, that much I CAN remember. x) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
