A Zoo?

Well considering that there are animals in the game I think it would be awesome to have a zoo with enclosures that u can break into. I guess it kinda hinges on the number of animals already in the open world of the game, but I don't see why they couldn't put in a couple of elephants, for example, that only spawn in the enclosures. I guess it would be pretty difficult to have animal physics for so many diverse animals, a zoo would be pretty pointless if it only had a few coyotes and birds in it. Do u think it's likely that Rockstar would put the effort into something like this? The entertainment value could be astronomical! Set a lion on some peds, start an elephant stampede down Rodeo maybe?

 

*Random Related Backstory* When GTA 4 was released I didn't have a ps3 and had no intention of getting 1 despite being a huge fan of the series. I had an awesome dream about the Manhattan Zoo being in the game, so awesome that when I woke up on the very next morning I went straight to the store and bought a ps3 + GTA 4. Mildly disappointed at the lack of a zoo but nonetheless, best decision ever icon14.gif

What is you couldn't get into the cage dude? It would be a nice addition to the game. But I'm sure If R* are to implement something like this, the animals in the cages will not be lets say "killable"

Well if the zoo is just for show and the animals are not killable , or you cant even interact with them in some way it would make the zoo feel quite empty and boring, so i guess it would be better without one. if thats the case....

Yeah if I can't feed peanuts to an ostrich or a pelican, I don't need a zoo.

I highly doubt it thanks to PETA.

LOL, people need to get off this whole PETA thing.

 

Especially considering there's another title called Red Dead Redemption where you can kill and skin animals. There's dogs, too. The player can kick him around if he feels the need.

Maybe there'll be whale hunting in the V. And then we smuggle the whale meat to China. And THAT'S actually what the submarine will be used for!

thats what i was thinking, but i suppose in a zoo the animals are in cages so to kill zoo animals may be seen as animal cruelty where as killing wild animals can pass as tolerable.

Dogs in Red Dead. Pigs in enclosures. tounge.gif

 

Those two animals are usually at the top of the list for PETA. So yeah, the whole PETA concern is just silly.

 

(Btw, I assume your post was in reply to mine about Red Dead).

yea it was, i havent played rdd so i suppose if its ok in thatgame then we may see a zoo after all. it would be a great addition to the game, if they can make all the animal look as cool as the dog we've seen then we're in for a proper treat.

Yeah now that animals are confirmed and R* they want an LA done right, I can really see them diong a zoo.

 

They said they've thought of everything for V, since animals are in and LA has a zoo, it would only be common sense.

 

 

I see nothing wrong with killing animals in a VIDEO GAME and PETA can go sit on their own heads if it bothers them.. since when has R* ever given into this whole 'political correctness' bs anyways? They're always the ones who take something that's taboo and then push it to the extreme, if anything they'll make a zoo massacre minigame just because they can lol.

Imagine using a cage of skunks as a torture chamber!

Btw, the zoo in Los Angeles is called the Los Angeles Zoo and Botanical Gardens.

f*ck PETA.

 

Far Cry 3 has so many animals so why can't GTA 5?

I know right and you can skin them too it is much worse than killing animals.

This would actually be cool to have all the animals on display. I'd expect the habitats to be non-enterable and bulletproof though

Empty and boring? Even with many people in the zoo? and different buildings to hide in?

 

 

 

OT: personally, i'd prefer there not to be a zoo, because it would take up too much space.

Take up too much space..?

 

 

Yeah I don't want an ocean in the game either.. ya know, it takes up quite a bit of space too. sh*t those mountains look pretty big too, I bet the game would be better off if they took them out because they just take up too much space.

Screw PETA, now I'm all for animal rights, but they're retarded and attention seeking. Worst activists ever.

 

I don't think Rockstar would take these idiots seriously. Check this out:

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/10/p...latest_campaign

Idiots...

Well Pokemon basically is like cockfighting but PETA blows everything out of the water. I never used Hi Jump Kick on my cat or used Flamethrower on my dog. To sum it up, PETA should just go away.

 

OT: A zoo would be interesing, however, I doubt it will happen. It would be cool to release the animals from the zoo and hop on a rhino (I hope the Rhino tank is back) and cause some chaos. But from what weve seen so far of Los Santos, theres no zoo. Judging by the trailers and massive amount of screenshots, we have seen about 75% of Los Santos, maybe about 40% of it clearly and up close.

I'm certain there was a news story in IV about a gorilla (or other animal) who escaped a zoo in Los Santos and went on a rampage. Reliable GTA.net folks, am I remembering correctly? I can't find anything about it on GTA wiki so I'm not too confident about it now, but I thought it was on the radio/internet.

 

Also I let out a hearty chuckle every time someone brings up PETA. Red Dead, Far Cry 3 and Assassin's Creed 3 ring a bell anyone?

 

Plus has everyone hit their head and forgotten about wanted levels? Those who think it would be wrong to kill virtual animals, there WILL BE virtual consequences...it's not like shooting a bear in a zoo wouldn't create attention. turn.gif

I have noticed that in the screens there's not really a sign of a zoo, I mean in theory u should be able to see it as zoos are generarly huge. Then again many cities have their zoos outside of the city, we haven't seen much of that area. Not sure where the Los Angeles zoo is located...

 

Ok well I noticed that the zoo is located in Gtiffith Park, which is quite large and also contains a golf course which IS in the game. In the screen with Franklin and Michael having a conversation overlooking the whole of Los Santos, there is a small part of a green area to the bottom right. I'm sure itself the golf course, zoo somewhere as well perhaps?

 

I know that there'll be plenty of controversy if a zoo was included, but causing controversy has kinda been what GTA is all about. I actually bought GTA 3 all those years ago after I read about the anti-GTA campaign and thought "man... that sounds like an awesome game." So thank u, dear paranoid anti-GTA nutjobs, u began my love affair with the best video game series ever tounge.gif

and you can kill and skin both in Far Cry 3, and you can kill and skin dogs in Assassins Creed 3.

I also remember driving through a Zoo in Carmageddon 2, killing elephants and other animals like 12-14 years ago..

Killing animals in videogames is A-OK if you ask me biggrin.gif

 

Now that a zoo has been mentioned, I really want to see it in V...!
