sivaG Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 It would be a cool feature, but I can see it getting annoying when your in a chase. However out of a chase, it would be pretty cool for a car (especially one that you like) running out of fuel, forcing you to use your phone to call up a recovery service which would then deliver your car back to your safehouse.

H. León Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) Well, I guess some people want to mix the real life with videogames, but it doesn't mean 100% of the gamers must play as this minority want, GTA has never been a role play game (except for the costumization in SA), and it will never be. And again: Racecarlock made a topic about this kind of stuff. Topic Edited November 21, 2012 by HUGOHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racecarlock Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I could see fueling being in the game, but mostly because I can see a cheat for having unlimited gas It HAS to be part of the fun and vibrant community. Imagine doing service station drive offs lol. Awsome. Imagine your boat is low on fuel? You have to trailer up and fill it at the service station. Come on, how sick is that! Or do multiple trips with a gas canister. Or even better, they have marine service stations. Whoa, that just blew my mind. Pull it back dude, you're trying too hard. It's like I can see you trying not to laugh in your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And again: Racecarlock made a topic about this kind of stuff. Topic But GTA is changing. Do you want the same old thing over and over. It is evolving. It would fit in well with a fun and vibrant economy. That other thread is just his opinion. What is good for some is bad for others. SO the topic is useless. Good and bad realism is objective. Guess we will have to wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuffinMcFluffin Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 You guys are saying you don't want this like it would be a common occurrence. Seriously, some of you guys think it would take like three miles before you run out of gas. Try more like 300? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdemel Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 it would suck to refeul.especially if you are out deep away from the city... refeuling should be avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signal1 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 it would suck to refeul.especially if you are out deep away from the city...refeuling should be avoided. There should be remote service stations out in the sticks. But the fuel quality will be lower and will effect vehicle performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExtremoMania Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I think it's a good feature for the next game as gets the sense of realism, however for some reason like high-speed chases I personally think of an even better solution to that problem like getting a new car if you run out of gas is a good idea. Come on there are lot of options to think even if you run of gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTCCoco Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 When they release the PC version and the multiplayer modification there will be roleplay servers with all your needs fulfilled. So don´t worry about that, we don´t need this on the native game to implement it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lioshenka Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 The fuel is going to be in the game by the looks of it. Imagine if R* makes separate pumps for diesel and petrol? How cool would it be to fill up with a wrong fuel and get stuck in the middle of nowhere? Or even cooler: cops chase you because you filled with red diesel - this would be rad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisIsHorosho Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 ...no luck gas idea supporters. Sorry guys but you're screwed...comment from R* on their twitter, when guy asked about this idea "BAHAHAHAHA this will never be implemented in GTA games..." or something of that sort (and no i can't remember what exactly they said and i read it long time ago...), so your silly ridiculous dreams will remain dreams thank God...

Shadowfox_ Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Aha I would be fun for a while but it would raise bad situations. Imagine you have six stars and you're being pursued by the army and helicopters. Then you decide to take your car out of the city so you can use speed to your advantage then boom you run out of gas. Either way, you're screwed. So yea I would be a bit annoyed if we were forced to refuel but if it was an option then that would satisfy lots of people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Dawk20 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 It's this feature that makes me think R* should have an option that turns up and down realism. Whether you have to do it at the beginning of the game or do it ingame is okay with me. This way, people who want a more simulated experience can have that without affecting others.

INEEDVNOW Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I played mafia 2 the whole way through and I never put fuel in my car once haha indeed you don't need to fill up that often. but its cool if you want to, thats how they should do it in GTA V. IF you want you can, but its not neccesary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racecarlock Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 It's just an irritating, mindless chore. It's like getting off a roller coaster every 5 minutes to touch up the paint work. Diesel and petrol? Why? Why should I have to care about that? I've got sh*t to do, I don't want to have to worry about how much virtual gas is left. I'm glad some of you guys never got to design an amusement park, you'd probably make the theme doing your taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gta5freemode4eva Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I agree with a few points on this topic - If we CONSTANTLY had to do it then this WOULD be frustrating and very annoying - but if we only had to fuel cars every 72 hours or so (I know this should be mileage so 1000 miles or km's or whatever - full tank and yes I know this isn't lifelike unless this were a big ass lorry or whatever but...) then this would be pretty cool. It adds to the game. If I'm on foot being chased, and I find a nice motor, I take it, stick my finger up to whoever is after me and speed off laughing... then I look down at the dash and see there is only 5% fuel left, then another part of the chase opens up because of sods bloody law!! Very good idea if implemented correctly IE Fuel lasts a LONG time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J32T3R Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I wouldn't mind it, also no cares about your personal life and your personal problems, so get over yourself the world doesn't revolve around you. Only if they add a decent amount so you would never have to run out of fuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlacknWhite Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 People need to stop with this over-realistic bs. -Car needing gas -Having to stop at red lights -Having to pay bills Those are things we have to do in real life..... i'd love if we get that kind of deal on the game - Michael dealing with Mortgage issues - Trevor struggling to live under Obamacare for army veterans - Franklin trying to make money to help his mother pay the gas and light bill FANTASTIC Get a life... and BAM... you'll have all that and more WTF this is GTA we're speaking of, not a f*king life simuator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NutsAndy Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) I liked it in Mafia2, I kept the same car all the way through and only fuelled it once before I completed the game. Rockstar add many little features which can be classed as useless, such as turning the headlights on main/dipped beam and turning the engine off when exiting the vehicle. These little features are what makes a GTA game and although the ones above are totally optional and fuel by nature isn't, I think it would be a nice addition for those that want it but should have an off switch for those who don't. I think it would add some great features to the gameplay where you could siphon an enemy's fuel before cornering him to make his escape impossible, destroying fuel supplies at police and fire stations to lower response times, stealing fuel tankers for free fuel at your safehouse to auto top up any cars nearby, eco race challenges - choose the right car and driving style to reach a destination on x amount of fuel, stranded motorists who have ran out of fuel and you can either help, harm or ignore them... The multi-player aspect of it would be quite interesting too. I know it's unlikely but these are just a few ideas that could use the feature, I'm sure Rockstar can find plenty more.

BlackNoise Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 It just seems like a gimmick like eating. It adds absolutely nothing to the gameplay, and it just seems like it would be a hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racecarlock Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Let's think about the "You wouldn't have to fuel up that often" argument. We have two choices here. Make it last so long that as a feature it's essentially pointless, or make it burn up so fast that it would be incredibly annoying. Besides which, what's the point when your only reward is watching some guy fill up a car? I think time would be better spent on polishing the fire or ragdoll physics a bit more. Besides which, I'd rather a police chase be intense because the police are actually really good drivers and detectives rather than have some meter tell me I'm 30 seconds away from frustration.

No not at all. You could easily have both and your argument is flawed. A sports car will use more fuel than an average car. Also a sports car will use more fuel if you gun it everywhere. Just adds to the driving dynamics. Fuel consumption would be relative to how and what you drive. It would be up to you how often you refuel. It just seems like a gimmick like eating. It adds absolutely nothing to the gameplay, and it just seems like it would be a hassle. Perfectly suited to GTA series then right. Just like eating, using the pay and spray, using the car wash etc? Sounds like a true GTA theme to me. Edited November 29, 2012 by Signal1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't we just have a morality meter tied to free roam gameplay while we're at it with a good and bad ending? After all, random mayhem is a core part of the series, so let's punish people for it. You know, like how ace combat 6 punishes you for shooting down enemy planes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
