VATG Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 of a mountain, bridges etc.? i hope this isn't just a mission type of thing it would be a shame if we won't be able to use it in such a big map... there's a lot of cool ways to play with this new in-game mechanism... for example: (we probably wont be able to the exact same thing in GTA V but this is still cool to watch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xWH1T30UTx Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 It'd be awesome to do it off of a bridge, or implement it into a rock-climbing activity. Hell, they could even add something like bungee jumping, it'd make more sense to do that off of a bridge. But I really hope that we'll at least be able to rappel off of suitable points around the map. It'd be a shame to see such a mechanic go to waste, and only be used in scripted missions and such.

I'd be sh*tting myself. I hope everything we see in trailers that are cool are in the game, and not just used in missions. Would be awesome doing that. But with most games, some things you see in trailers don't make the final cut. Fingers crossed for this to not be just a mission thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamieleng Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) That has to be my biggest gripe with GTA games; not carrying everything from missions over to freeroam. Gameplay features (hanging off trucks or loading flatbeds in IV), vehicles (Skylift Heli in TBOGT) & certain functions on vehicles (the lift on forklifts in IV & the electromagnetic winch on the Skycrane in SA). This is something R* needs to sort out if they want to increase people's enjoyment after the main game is finished. I don't expect every feature to carry over, just the most fun & possibly useful ones. I hope we can get a helicopter ride from Trevor in freeroam & instead of landing, you can choose to rapel down instead.

AceHigh11 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 How do we know it's not mission specific? We don't. In GTA IV I thought we could grab hold of a vehicle, but that was only for some mission. It's all speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xWH1T30UTx Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 How do we know it's not mission specific? We don't. We're simply hoping/assuming it's not. Surely Rockstar will have learned from their previous efforts that impelmenting stuff that can be done within missions should mostly be carried over to free roam. We've already confirmed this with the situation with Trevor using the gasoline to blow up a truck. Some people were worried that feature was mission specific, but it turned out it was a feature introduced by said mission/situation. Also Since they had mentioned scuba diving as an activity where you can buy full scuba gear, I'm sure it wouldn't be that far-fetched to be able to buy or own a harness and a few cables/cords. It'd be immense fun, and like I said before, I think Rockstar seems to have learned that people want features from missions within free roam. (All purely speculation and prediction at this time of course, but given the evidence, I'd say it's plausible.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from what I remember it is actually possible to hang on to the back of a truck if done right. Granted, when you do it in free roam, it's not nearly as extensive and cinematic as it was in the mission, but it was there nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to look it up (two years since I played GTA IV) and yes it's possible, but only for a few secs and you can't control it. I wanted to hang, climb to the front and take over the car.

Zee Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 We WONT be able to do it when we want. Cockstar are going to limit our freedom and only have it be in one mission. Mark my words.

Not gonna lie, I nearly puked when you said it was clearly "stolen from Kayne & Lynch anyway." But again, this is all just speculation. The truth is, we don't know a damn thing about whether this will be included outside of this mission or not. I don't know, and you don't know either. Trying to 'confirm' that it's not in free roam is just as ignorant as 'confirming' that it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 90% of the things Zee posts are to make people pissed. But sadly I agree with him on almost everything to a certain extent. Everyone has such wishful thinking, but truth is games will always be limited of the things we can do. And I bet repelling is one of them. It's quite obviously a heist in one of the missions. I too wish we could use it outside the mission it would be awesome there would be hardly anywhere we couldn't go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt19811 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) i can see it being available all the time maybe but only from a helicopter which would be lame.

TheJasonGallant Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Sometimes, you people have some strange ideas.... That kind of stuff just happens in missions like it's always been. And seriously, I don't see any good reason to be able to always do it. It would be cool but it's the only thing. It won't be usefull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMAHAWKS Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Missions only. I doubt they would really give us the option to rappel off of things during free-roam. Not everyone would even use the feature. I know that I wouldn't... But it isn't impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xWH1T30UTx Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I fail to see why some people are completely disbanding this idea and throwing it away like it'll never happen. Sure, some of the mission features in IV didn't make it all the way through. But y'know what? This isn't IV. Does anyone not remember how BASE Jumping in TBOGT worked? Granted, there were a fairly limited number of spots to do this in, but still. To me, entering a marker and jumping off the top of a building with a random parachute is actually pretty f*cking crazy compared to using a rope and a harness to ascend and descend a few spots around the map. And to the people who say it'd be pointless to include it: Well, maybe it's also "pointless" to include some of the features you'd like to see in the game as well. Maybe Rockstar should just include no side activities because it'll be "useless," according to you. Going back to the TBOGT thing, I dunno about you guys, but I found myself using BASE Jumping to escape insane situations quite often, in both singleplayer and multiplayer. I just figured the same concept could be applied to V. Anyways, sorry about the mini-rant. I'm just kind of fed up with people thinking this will be just like IV and then complaining about it.

Chukkles Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 What if the rappeling kit is the equivalent of RDR's Lasso and can be used anywhere to make the city and environment 100x's more accessible. It would be a smart move on R*'s part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a smart move on R*'s part. Nice thought. To be honest, if they do include it in the game, I'm expecting it'll be more like having set points dotted around the map to "hook up to." I think it'd be kinda hard to be able to do it absolutely anywhere, but anything's possible at this point. I'd really like to see it able to be done anywhere as you suggested, but I would settle on it being similar to other side activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't see working is all of the glitches that would probably ensue from 'curious' players trying to rappel down an unsuitable location. What I mean by that is, like, hooking up to a 25 degree angle hill or something like that. As far as I'm aware, repelling would only work properly on fairly vertical surfaces. It'd probably be pretty amusing seeing clueless players attempting to hammer a point into a flat desert area, though.
