Bicycle Speed

World Champion

One little minor thing I'm hoping for in GTA V, is for the bicycle speed to be slowed right down, to a realistic speed.

 

In GTA SA, I could ride faster than cars on the highways. It was fun, but it way too unrealistic.

 

What do you's all prefer?

I loved the bikes in SA, they were fast and enjoyable meanly because SA didn't take it self

to seriously. In V, they have to slow down, bikes should not go faster then cars. Maybe down hill you could pick up mad speed, though.

Bicycles better control like real ones. I want the benefit and advantage of using one to be like running but much faster and more efficient.

Different speeds for different bicycles:

 

road bike: 60mph max

mountain bike: 50mph max

bmx: 30mph max

 

...when downhill maybe

Haven't any of you guys seen Tour De France? Those bikes can really fly down hill!

Sneakerhead.

Lol if a road bike goes 60MPH, then how fast will a racing bike go.

I don't think the bikes need to be slowed down. I thought the bike speed in SA was perfect, but the cars on the highway were too slow. You can go pretty fast on bikes, so maybe it should just be a stamina thing. When sprinting you should go about 30 - 45 mph. Some bikes should be even faster(road/racing) and some a bit slower(lowriders).

i think the top is around 70mph but they are professionals with high end bicycles

Those cars were slow yes, but they still drove like f*cking madmen.

It wasn't perfect and it was very far away from being realistic. The low rider bike and the bmx bike were each about 75mph fast while the mountain bike was up to 87mph fast. It wasn't that noticeable in San Andreas because the game is very old and so the engine.

A realistic speed in a road bike on flat ground would be 40 km/h (~25 mph), only top athletes can go substantially faster for a prolonged period of time.

I doubt that the player character has a condition like the participants. On the other hand ... there will be drugs in the game, so we could just dope the character like they do for the Tour de France.

I hear you, but honestly the bicycles in San Andreas were fine, yeah they were super fast, but you had to put in a lot of bodybuilding and aerobic training to build cj up like that. Online for multiplayer though, it would be awfully strange seeing a bunch of bicycles pass me when im in an infernus...

I definitely want them being slower than they have been in SA. But that won't be such a great deal if the PC version is out. Then everybody will have the chance changing the bike speed to its own preferential speed.

They could be slightly slower than SA, but if they go too far then they'll be boring to mess around on.

Probably will be different for each character. Franklin will probably be able to go the fastest, getting up to 25 MPH on a flat road. Trevor 20 mph. then Michael slightly slower with 18 mph.

 

With a road bike it should be like 10 mph faster for each, or something

I'm talking about how the bikes felt. I don't think people know how to accurately measure the speed of vehicles in a game like SA. I don't know if it's a scale thing or what, but 87mph in SA is not 87mph in the real world. In real life 87mph on a bicycle would be....I don't even know how f*cking insane that would be. There's really no comparison unless you just go by what feels right. Riding the BMX in the beginning of GTA SA felt perfect IMO.

 

I definitely don't want bikes to feel slower in GTA V.

I want them to be just a little slower than cars would be going on a normal road, but faster than running, or there would be no point.

Yeah the slower the more realsitic and after a while they get tired especially going up hills.

Wanna talk about the jump heigh?

 

Both speed and jump heigh were absurd in SA, but still so fun! I bet they will make it more realistic in V, altho I hope they'll be able to keep the fun factor in, maybe making the BMX experience close to the real one, where you can do some tricks. Not asking for anything insane, just some little things like sliding etc.

I feel you homeboy.

 

People want everything to be realistic, it will come to the point where things are going to start getting boring and those people who don't seem to be using their brains will get tired of it without realizing it.

 

Not everything has to be realistic, people.

 

I'm playing the game to have fun too, you know.
