Fueling cars

[Signal1]

 

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.

So great, now I'm being punished for driving my favorite cars fast. 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.

Your right. Lets not punish you. I was unaware that R* were designing GTA V for you. Should have mentioned it earlier.

 

Would be great to select one of your two limited options.

 

Ill go with....

 

make it burn up so fast that it would be incredibly annoying.

 

Wouldnt be anoying for me or a lot of others on here. I get the feeling your the type that just likes to argue a lot and that your point of view is always right.

 

I think that wiping are backside's is more important

Your in the wrong thread. sh*tting dynamics thread is over there....

This guy doesn't want realistic car handling but wants fuelling cars? Lol.

[DoomsdayFAN]

They should put it in, but give us the option to turn it off if we don't want to worry about it.

[GTA-Fan-1]

I don't know. What if i'm driving a rare beauty and boom, no gas.

find a tow truck

[FranticFatality]

This is Grand Theft Auto, not Life Simulator. Adding fuel would be stupidly realistic, and would be annoying to use.

[Trund]

Most of the people (including me) are already extremely annoyed by filling up a car in real life, such a boring thing shouldn't be included in a video game.

 

When it comes to cars there are about 91894943 other things that R* could add/improve, and 99% of them are more important than caring about your fuel, If you want a totally realistic game, then cars shouldn't even explode, yet they do, it's a video game!

[Jalaldinhoo]

 

PLZ NO

 

no fuel in GTA

[carson.bonina]

i have been hoping that GTA V would include fuelling cars since i heard they started development. i think it would be so much fun. It wouldn't take that much work and they could make it an option in the menu to turn on fuelling or off to make everyone happy. as for running out of gas in a rare car, that is an easy solution just create some service you can call to bring gas to you, just like in real life, you can even make taxes deliver you gas in real life, would not be that hard to integrate that into the game. plus you wouln't just BAM run out of gas..... there would need to be some kind of gage ont he screen so you can plan out your commute

[douggoud]

While I can understand peoples concerns, they need to realize that if they were to implement it like they did in Mafia II, it would probably never be a problem for anyone. (God forbid I said "like [insert another game here]). I maybe used it 3 times tops while playing Mafia II, and that was because I excessively drove one car to purposely have to fill it up. Ah well, they'll make it as a mod for the pc version anyways, so it's not a problem whether or not it's in the game.

[Guest]

How about if random stolen cars will have a fuel tank matching their vehicle type, driving the same distance as real life before running out, but later in the game you can purchase a bigger tank for your car and a car valet? The big tank would last you for 12+ real-time hours, and whenever you go to sleep and wake up, your valet has filled up your car and repaired it?

 

Problem solved. *flies away*

Good realism:

• NPCs will react to a dragon attacking in Skyrim.

Why is it good?

Because it adds credibility to the world and makes every dragon fight feel epic.

Bad realism:

• Every time you get items from a corpse or container in Skyrim, there will be an appropriate realistic animation.

Why is it bad?

- Because it's an unneeded feature that would take time away from actual gameplay.

What if I like it?

- You can try the PC version and you can be 100% sure someone will put out a mod that does just that. If you have an imagination, you can pretend to loot bodies by crouching and moving your character around. By doing this, everyone wins.

 

 

Good realism:

• In GTA V, everything will have a weight because of the realistic physics engine.

Why is it good?

Because it adds credibility to the world and makes every fight, vehicle, and gunfight feel epic.

Bad realism:

• Cars having a fuel gauge that will eventually force the player to refuel.

then you get attacked by some crazy freak hillbilies like those from The Hills Have Eyes flick

 

awesome!

You cannot be a hillbilly unless you are from the appalachias. There aren't any hillbillies in Cali. The appalachias do not run through cali. There's backwoods peoples, though, or 'rednecks' there. The thing about hillbillies is they keep ya. Not kill ya(in most cases until they have no use for you).

What would be the difference running outta gas in a ghetto? That's where you'll meet the craziest coming outta the woodwork. I know from experience, not Hollywood movies.

 

OT:

I'm all for having to get gas. It could add some really good moments.

[Tupiz]

For me, it'd be pretty nice, there are fueling in some RPG servers in MTA. And there it works really well.

I guess, but you must realize that GTA is not an RPG at its core. San Andreas may have had clumsily thrown in RPG elements, but it still wasn't an RPG. My point is forcing role playing on everyone when only a small group actually wants to do it is bad design and only turns other fans away from your game.

[Signal1]

Small group? Id say its at least 50/50. Further I really hope you dont believe your own dribble that fans would "walk away" from GTA V cause they had to fuel vehicles.

 

Now I have heard it all. Your a troll for sure or dillusional.

[Hitmanboss]

These realistic suggestions are really starting to piss me the f*ck off and Someone already suggested this dumbass idea on twitter a while ago rockstar said they would never add that in. not in those exact words but you get the point. and i doubt its 50/50 for people wanting this retarded suggestion most times i see this suggestion for gta the majority expresses deep hatred, its the same as when gta 4 was close to release.

[kb8618]

would be cool and If it was like mafia you would have to drive for a very long time in order to run out. It would make long chases more challenging when you refuel and try and take off before getting caught. If you park the car in your safe house parking spot it would refuel.

 

IF it really pisses ppl off, add the option in menu.

[gtafan023]

too realistic:/,it would be annoying in the long run,unless its optional

[Jackmackg]

This is one of those things that i'm sure will be modded in when it comes to pc. There will be rp servers where you can do this and many other things that might not appeal to the mainstream.

[master7]

I don't know. What if i'm driving a rare beauty and boom, no gas.

Probably should have checked the gas gauge. Maybe they could have a tow truck option that you could call on your cell phone..... You know if the battery is not dead on it or no signal.

Would an on/off option really be that bad? Then that would satisfy both sides. Why does peoples ideas bother you? You should calm yourself and not get mad about other peoples opinions. You may not like realism but others might. Not like people are knocking you for thinking your idea of an unrealistic GTA is dumb. If that's your opinion then cool.

1 - stop moaning about peoples perfectly good ideas

2 - get your OWN ideas

3 - share your ideas and hope that we don't take the p*ss out of them.

[MIKON8ERISBACK]

This has long been one of the most asked-for features in GTA games. I support this idea every step of the way. I just want fuel efficiency to be a little better than the third party fuel mods for GTA San Andreas PC.

[JordantheJew13]

NO way, too realistic, we need to find the line here folks haha,

 

in the middle of a highspeed chase bam, no fuel, your in a rare car and no gas stations near

No Way

No I think that they should have it where you only run out of gas in free roam. Like, if you're on a mission then unless it's scripted, gas shouldn't be an issue. OR you could just fuel up before a mission...

[Racecarlock]

To me, GTA has two core elements. Mayhem and driving fast. I think something is very wrong here when you're essentially breaking up both to force the player to either abandon his favorite car or waste a minute of his life watching a refueling animation. I know GTA is evolving, I just think chores are the wrong way to do that. It'd be like if fighting games had an eating session in between each fight.

I think you mean drivel, not dribble, and delusional, not dillusional.

I once fought for car refueling in GTA V as an option, but people are overwhelmingly against even that. I still think a manual transmission option would be something very nice, along with turn signals and smarter AI traffic as they don't annoy players who don't use them and can add to the actual gameplay of driving.

 

FYI, RDR has looting animations, so they are not exactly strangers to what you deem 'bad realism'. I personally agree that it is rather tedious, though.

An On/off option would be good, i don't want to deal with gas.

Where did you come from. I do have my own damn ideas and i've shared them before on this forum. i really can't give a f*ck about someone taking the piss out of them its just the way things are.

Stupid idea. It's a game, I don't want real world problems in a game I play to relax.

[Sqwerlly13]

I think it is a cool idea and a nice feature but the way I drive sometimes im switching cars every 5 blocks anyways because its either crashed to hell or there is blood splattered all over it But when role playing it is a nice thing and will make you think when driving down them lone desert highways...
