Different shooting styles

[Guest]

Anyone agree that each protagonist having different shooting styles would be awesome?

 

Each shooting style would have an advantage aswell, so it would go like this

 

- One handed weapons

 

Franklin - Holds gun sideways, Reduces recoil

Trevor - Holds gun with both hands, has it pointed to ground (like in the screenshot) - Increased accuracy

Michael - Holds with one hand, up straight, to his side (like in Just Cause 2) - Increased Damage

 

- Two handed weapons

 

Franklin - Holds weapon to his waist (like how Luis holds the LMG) - Reduced recoil

Trevor - When not in combat, holds it pointed downwards. When he hears gunshots, he'll point it up like in every FPS - Increased accuracy

Michael - Same as how Niko holds and aims - Increased Damage

 

I know the stats aren't realistic but it'd give advantages to using different characters for different situations.

These should also be able to be selected in multiplayer

[Jalaldinhoo]

NO

[Boss7dm]

NO

LOL

[Red XIII]

When your working with Micheal, you hold a gun properly, none of that side ways gansta sh*t. lol

[simonp92]

By holding your gun sideways doesn't that actually give more recoil and descreases accuracy?

[Zancudo]

I think this might actually happen. Screenshots pretty much confirm every protagonist will have different animations and some informations suggest that every character has different skills in certain things.

[ThisIsHorosho]

...why not just simple "yes" option or "why not", i don't feel all that dramatic to choose "Hell yes!" option...

[aaronimpact]

I wouldn't mind seeing different animations. But holding the gun sideways is...... lets just say dumb.

because he's black?

 

in reality, only retards hold their gun sideways and it does nothing to the recoil. it just makes it harder to aim because you have to turn your head sideways to line-up the sights.

this! besides i'm not into all those stats dependent crap! its not an RPG for a God's sake, its open world free roam third person crime simulator! i'm all for idea each characters using different shooting, walking, running, wanking, banging, puking, scatting, pissing and farting animations, but that RPG sh*t with stats...no thanks leave that to stuff like Fallout, Skyrim, Borderlands etc...

I agree. More farting animations in games.

Of course the black guy has to hold it sideways.

[roebuck34]

I Will love this even tough its abit unrealistic

[20cent]

No lol besides if you wanted to be realistic and made Franklin hold the gun sideways, it would cause most guns to jam therefore not extracting the shell....that's if you wanted to get realistic

[Bitches_Brew]

false. empty casings are "extracted" by blowback. how you hold the gun will not effect that.

Increased damage? Seriously? Are you on drugs or just stupid? Next time I'll be sure to hold a gun the way you describe for Michael and see how much more destructive the rounds are.

[TheCzar]

Not too bothered about how they hold they guns, BUT Rockstar definitely need to improve on the gun noises, they all sound so plain and dull.

When I'm unloading my AK-47 into some hillbilly's pick-up truck i want it to feel powerful like metal is being pierced with the velocity of my bullets, not just some mundane bullsh*t.

Yep, and next time I'm getting shanked I'll just eat a hotdog.

 

It's a f*cking game, it doesn't need to be realistic.

[Durden]

I'd like something like this. Franklin could shoot it the stereotypical way CJ did, Michael can shoot experienced, and Franklin can shoot sloppy.

Franklin - Holds gun sideways, Reduces recoil

I dont like that idea. Each character should hold it normally.

As for holding it sideways, Mythbusters already proved it kills accuracy and doesnt make sense in reality, even if it looks cool in movies and tv.

My mistake, yeah, no need for realism, therefore let's come up with other great gameplay concepts like Franklin running faster because he's black, Trevor having more health because he's badass, Michael dealing more damage with bullets because you're just the type of "creative" mind that prevail in new gaming or any creative industry studio that fails to get going because you think your ideas are plausible but they're not.

 

Sorry, you shared your ideas and exposed your level of creativity; creatively retarded that is.

[Bitches_Brew]

like Franklin running faster because he's black

maybe he's kenyan?

[TyphoonJames]

I think this is a great idea. It would emphasise the characters' background, for example, Trevor holds the pistol down by his side as he runs in that GI screenshot, possibly showing a military influence.

How come Franklin can't hold the gun properly

[The Notorious MOB]

Holding a gun sideways does not reduce recoil, in fact there are no benifits to doing this whatsoever.

How come Franklin can't hold the gun properly

Because he's a gangbanger. CJ held his guns sideways, too.

 

EDIT: To most of you stating the obvious "HOLDING THE GUN SIDEWAYS DOESN'T REDUCE RECOIL"

If you actually bothered to read the OP you'd see I said myself they aren't realistic. It's for the sake of encouraging people to use different characters for different situations.

[Sizeway]

franklin can shoot sideways, and trevor and michael will prolly be more proffessional becuase of their backrounds

If the benefits of using the different characters as holding a gun sideways reducing recoil then it would be more likely to make me spit at my screen out of frustration at the game's stupidity than to use different characters for different situations. I think better vehicle physics would be enough to suffice since Franklin is said to be a really good driver and Trevor has prior experience as a pilot. Different shooting styles would be a nice touch but the benefits you've named are inacurate and unnecessary.

Then how about

 

Franklin: Still holds gun sideways but can move quicker and more agile in combat

Trevor: More accurate and moves slowly

Michael: A mix of agility and accuracy
