Front - 8/10

 

 

From the front it looks good. It does a relatively good job mocking the Maserati GranTurismo Sport 2013's front fascia and the car as a whole looks decent from a front angle. I just wish the mesh didn't look so fake, and I wish they would've used better housing for the main xenon bulbs instead of simply copying and pasting the same ones from the Coquette. Also the mirrors are very cheap looking. They're copied and pasted from the Coquette and covered up in carbon fiber, and they totally don't fit the car at all. They should've just reused the Massacro's mirrors.

 

Side - 6/10

 

 

This is where things get really nasty. First of all, it's too short. Not only for a Maserati GranTurismo spoof, but for a grand tourer in general. This is not an F-Type or an AMG GT so it just doesn't look good. The trunk should've been way longer, as they typically are for GT's as a lot of GT'ers like to stuff their luggage in there for long trips. I also couldn't find any wheels that actually fit the car, almost every set of wheels (including the stock ones) looked awkward on this car and that's probably because the side profile in general is awkward. Haunches are cool, we get it Rockstar, but this is overkill. Stop using haunches because obviously you all can't get them right, the only car with haunches that really looks good is the Massacro. The ones on this car need to be dropped and the C pillar needs to be longer and curvier. Speaking of pillars, the black accenting that surrounds all of the windows on this car should've been chrome instead, just like they are on the real Maserati GranTurismo.

 

To be honest, the side profile is just a disappointment and that's almost no surprise coming from Rockstar. They need to hire the blokes who designed the Massacro, those guys knew what they were doing.

 

Rear - 7/10

 

 

Concepts are cool, but they should have no place in a GTA game. And they definitely shouldn't of had a place on this thing. The Maserati GranTurismo has a sexy looking ass. So why didn't they use that instead? It would've look a LOT better and a lot more appropriate on what's supposed to be a GT car. But on it's on, the rear fascia is just weird. The trunk is non existent and the rear diffuser makes it look like they ran out of ideas.

 

Done.

I just noticed the Sabre has no electrical wiring for the tailights, so lazy.

 

[PowerKracker]

GTA V features car parts falling off in a way that was absent in IV, so they probably forgot to put the stuff there when making taillights detachable (as that's a car ported from IV).

[Darth_Starkiller]

I don't get why R* didn't use the F620's rims on the Furore, if they weren't going to create new ones anyway. They look a lot like the rims of the Alfieri. And my guess for them not using the Gran Turismo's rear is that it would look too similar to the Khamelion. I also didn't find it too easy to put good colors on it, but in the end, brushed aluminium looked quite good.

Anyway, we're starting to face a problem: anachronism. R* is putting cars in the game that didn't exist when its story took place, such as the Alfieri, and the Jester, which while already existed, wasn't available for purchase, and the Alpha, which existed but still doesn't have any production plans.

 

By the way, how could R* mess this up so much? The Furore has reverse and break lights (which surprises me). However, when you break, the break light remains off and the normal lights get stronger. I can understand that it would look weird to have both light effects at the same time, however, couldn't they at least change the light's texture to seem like its on?

I have to agree that there's really little need for mods on sports cars. Unfortunately, most people (as proven in Online) have no freaking taste whatsoever. Hell, there are even tuning companies to cater to tasteless fools with more money than sense. Ever head of Mansory? Their abominations are good for a laugh and/or facepalm from time to time...

 

 

Just go to the Pimp My Whip thread and you'll think you're on Mansory's website.

[Darth_Starkiller]

Apparently, by accessing the dev-only vehicle deathmatch creator you have the Hydra as an object to be placed (though since the actual model isn't in the files, you can't place it). Interesting.

I agree about the rims. And I wish we could paint stock rims. That would be so awesome, just like Forza Horizon 2.

[Darth_Starkiller]

Also, chrome should be one of the paint options. Hm, I have an idea...

 

Edit: And, no, you can't put chrome rims on a car by using the save editor.

I feel like R* should have swapped the names of the Sentinel/Oracle, Ruiner/Buffalo and Manana/Esperanto when they made IV. Even though the current Esperanto still hasn't that much to do with the 3D Manana, it's more similar than the one we have.

[Gnocchi Flip Flops]

Don't get excited for the Dukes. It's returning as an ugly matte black mess. But hey, the Stallion returns. The new monster truck though? Stupid bullsh*t.

[PowerKracker]

So this old unused plane design IS Dodo! I knew it! I told you!

 

I don't think that long-cut plane could be Besra considering that it costs over a milion...

Hey, I have a thought - maybe it's the Dodo. It's a small prop plane, and Dodo has its vehicle sound left in the game. It'd be kinda like with Buffalo/Ruiner - the new Buffalo became a modern Dodge Charger so they brought the 80s Camaro as Ruiner, so the Cessna plane was made into Mammatus while this could very well be Dodo.

[Darth_Starkiller]

I still have hope. Maybe that Duke O' Crap is only the returning player reward, and the actual Dukes (which I hope they haven't renamed as Duke) will be available for everyone. They said there'd be a fleet (which at least should mean "a lot") of GTA classics returning, and showed the Stallion, which wasn't even mentioned in the article. Tampa and Uranus anyone? I also wonder if there are gonna be any redone 3D era cars. Hoping for the Greenwood and Windsor.

 

Now that I'm talking about the Windsor, it'd make more sense for the Surano to be called Windsor, since it looks more like a Jaguar than a Mercedes; and the old one to return as Windsor Classic.

 

I'd like to know too if the reward for collecting the monkey stamps ( will be a modern Blista or GTA IV's. Since it'll likely have some irremovable crap on it, I hope it'll be the modern one.

 

About the monster truck, it'd make more sense if they gave us a Rebel or, even better, a Sandking converted. Not a f*cking El Camino.

Will any of these updates being made for the new systems be also made available for the previous generation of consoles?

Some of the other updates such as the upgrade content detailed above are being designed exclusively as a reward for returning players so those will not be released on the previous versions; however do stay tuned for more updates to be made available for Grand Theft Auto Online across all platforms and we’ll have more information on that soon.

 

The new cars are for next gen only.....

 

 

 

[Darth_Starkiller]

I wonder if they just named the plane in GTA V that looks like to old Dodo Mammatus just so they could sell the Dodo name later at the next edition. Well, either way, I wonder if amongst other unmentioned vehicles, there's also the land Dodo AKA cut plane without changes, so they can have the Dodo and Dodo Seaplane (which really should be the Skimmer).

[R3W1ND]

what is a fleet of GTA classics? Is it an array of popular returning vehicles that we likes (eg. PMP600, Perennial, etc) or just classic cars from 60-70's?

[Darth_Starkiller]

Cars from previous GTAs. Like the Stallion.

 

Edit: I just noticed that, in the two pictures of the Marshall, in one it has a US flag and in another a Scottish one. Wonder if they can be customized (which I'd also like to know how would work, since it likely doesn't fit LSC).

Edited October 28, 2014 by Darth_Starkiller

[PowerKracker]

I wonder what Go Go Monkey Blista will be like. I'd sh*t bricks if it was actually a variant of the IV one.

Anyhow, I'm still wondering about the standard variants of all those new cars. Hopefully they're there in the traffic, together with the existing DLC cars (which I also hope are put into traffic, as those previous screenshots hinted at).

I wonder if they put Stallion back just now after realizing the error of their ways, or if it's been there all along and was merely cut out of the last gen version for whatever reason, with some data still there ("Classique" sound clip and a Classique logo for GTA Online garages). Same with Dukes.

[Tycek]

Monkey Blista will be the same crap with some tacky body paint very likely. Don't count for a proper reward in GTA V. And I guess the fleet of the vehicles will be just couple of cars. It sounds much better to say a fleet, even if that's one tacky vehicle than just one tacky vehicle.

[PowerKracker]

I guess it's just a disease of many games these days, not many rewards with most stuff given away. I mean, Super Smash Bros. for 3DS came out recently (though I'm waiting for the Wii U version) and like 80% of the playable characters are unlocked right from the start, it's bullsh*t.

I'm at least glad they're giving us some tasks to get those cool vehicles instead of lazily putting them in our garages.

And I was curious about the Blista since there has to be a reason they're not showing it.

Edited October 28, 2014 by AlfredNTheFettuc

[Darth_Starkiller]

Most times, when they announce new vehicles and weapons, they don't show all of them. Only one or two is left out, but is left out nonetheless.

[PowerKracker]

You're right, they've always been revealing them that way. What's further in the store remains to be seen anyway.

Stallion is a good sign, bringing back an unused brand, because we haven't heard from Mr. Willard in a while...I want to see something from that range.

[Darth_Starkiller]

I just noticed that in the paintjob of the Stallion, you can see "Declasse" written. You can't see it very well because of the angle, but the logo on the grille seems to be Classique. It's quite similar to Declasse's logo though, so, we never know. Just don't f*ck this up, R*. Well, whatever unless Classique is a divison of Declasse (which would kinda make sense, since Oldsmobile used to be owned by GM irl), they've already f*cked it up anyway.

[PowerKracker]

The front badge is a Classique logo as always (just zoom in) . I think Declasse is there because a dead manufacturer can't do much sponsorship, and it's not like that Stallion rolled out from the factory with all this livery back in the day.

Edited October 30, 2014 by AlfredNTheFettuc

[Darth_Starkiller]

Well, at least I prefer to think R* actually thought about that and didn't just screw up as always.

[PowerKracker]

Come on people, you're giving R* too much credit with screwing things up... If I were truly bothered by inconsistencies here and there, I wouldn't be able to enjoy any GTA game (yes, even the perfect and infallible GTA IV had tons of them).

On a side note, I'm actually digging that Gauntlet with livery. Somehow just putting it there makes the car look far more detailed than it really is (normally it looks bland due to lack of detailing).

[suicidehummer]

Duke'O Death? Seriously? God, the names just keep getting worse... I don't have high hopes for the Dukes' handling in V.

[Voit Turyv]

Dodo seaplane, because fuсk logic.

[Input]

They should have made it the "Imponte Highway Reaper", would have made more sense and also not sound like a 5 year old's idea of a badass car.

[Gnocchi Flip Flops]

I'm so glad Rockstar made the Buffalo S. Little did they know, that thing can easily be made to look like a Hellcat.

 

[PowerKracker]

A Huntley S in the traffic! At least one wish is fulfilled.

Also, regular Dukes is in, so no worries.
