Multiple protags and switching could

[MosquitoSmasher]

Here's a Max Payne 3 spoiler. If you haven't bought the game yet (do it now!!!!) or haven't finished it yet, don't read this.

 

When Max has killed Becker and he gets into the car with Da Silva to catch Victor, that part was awesome. Max shooting grenades while peeking out of the roof of the car while Da Silva is driving.

 

Imagine that in GTA V. Three protagonists in that car, one is driving, the other two probably are shooting. It will make for some absolutely spectacular and awesome car chases. And if you get tired of the shooting, you can drive the car if you want. Don't know about you guys, but in GTA IV and previous GTA games, i didn't always want to drive the vehicle, yet we had to drive all the time, and our buddies would do the shooting or simply nothing at all. We now get a choice in that, that's fricking awesome. Car chases were fun in IV, sure...but the fun factor will be tripled now, that is for damn sure.

 

But that part in MP3..i was like...fuuuuck man, they better have some missions like that in GTA V. Would be ace as hell. What other examples can we imagine that very likely will be in GTA V when it comes to the three guys working together?

Yeah. That'd be really fun. Especially if grenade launchers were in the game. The AI would be a problem wouldn't it. In MP3 it was setup like that. Where as in V it'd probably be a problem though. If they could manage to perfect the AI that'd be just wonderful.

Not really sure why it would be a problem. If you control one protag, the other two will do their jobs. Or do you mean you think they can't really get A.I. to drive a car properly in a high speed chase? If not..please elaborate

Shooting shouldn't be a problem for the character you aren't playing as. I hated it in TBoGT, Armando and Henrique moved like robots while shooting. How they'd try to be so precise always moving slowly. I can't explain it..

 

What I meant was AI if you are shooting, how would the character driving be? How would they react if they crashed, or to obstacles? Would he try to plow through them or go around? That's just an example, you get what I'm saying though right?

Ah yes, i see what you mean. Well it could be a bit like the taxi's in GTA IV. Although that wasn't ideal...i'm sure it has been upgraded. Unless it just won't happen and that will mean we will always be driving. But it shouldn't be too hard i think, if i remember correctly..in Sleeping Dogs there are missions where you shoot out the car while someone else is driving.
