Do you think anyone, or anything from gta san andreas should be in gta V?

 

and please none of the gay "oH Mi GAHHHD, DIFfErNT ERA's"

please be sensible and tell me your answers, because I am curious.

Pink cornrows for Michael.

The pink dildo as a weapon. Flowers as presents. A jetpack for Chop.

No jet pack!, I will personally throw my disc copy of V out of my Xbox and go back to playing IV because I felt letdown that Rockstar washed itself to the unmassed stupidity of so called fans who forced Rockstar to single handly destroy all credibility to a modern day re-imagination of a hyper violent Los Angeles. You didn't see a jetpack in Red Dead, why, because it destroys the atmosphere of the wild west. Same thing goes for a modern day re take of Los Angeles.

I don't think they mean they want it in the storyline (even though that was awesome) but just as a cheat code.

 

if you dislike, don't use the code, simple.

I will now ask you to think before you post sir. Why would Rockstar add an HD version of something such as a jetpack with new and improved physics and all that stuff only to not feature it in the game they are making. You couldn't avoid it in SA as it had a few missions. Why do you think that? Well, I don't know if you have noticed but the way GTA'S mission structure has been designed all the way to the first game is to make a mission involving a at least every feature in the game, even if it's just used once and never again. That being said, it would be absolute rubbish if Rockstar were to take the time to build and program something not to have it in the basic game. Rocksatr just doesn't do that. Now, don't you go about telling me I can avoid it when I won't be able to if it's in the storyline. And god help us all if it's in multiplayer.

tanks

unique vehicles that work like tow trucks, stunt plane with smoke etc

mini gun

large cheat code list

military base

air traffic

suppressed weapons (but more variety)

tear gas

that LA feel san andreas had (gangs, gun shots, random police chases, police helicopters with spot light on at random times)

Watch the second trailer again. Does it look like the game will be that serious? You know, with trains surfing rednecks that skydive out of cargo planes with jeeps?

 

Look, gritty realism has been done. It's been done by GTA IV, Mafia II, Heavy Rain and soon Beyond Two Souls, Fallout 3, Sleeping Dogs, Far Cry 2, and soon even a star wars game (Star Wars 1313).

 

More importantly, why does V HAVE to be serious? Why can't it have some wacky stuff? I know saints row already does that, but mafia II already does gritty realism, so why not have a jetpack or a tank or two.

 

Also, you can call me stupid once you answer this question: How many particles of matter and forces of nature is the universe made of?

 

Because I happen to know that.

GTA V will have to same type of action that GTA IV had, just a different vibe of it. They're not straying away from the serious undertone of the GTA IV trilogy at all. What you're referring to is the over the top movie type action that GTA is known for, that never stopped in IV, it was just given more constrictions to make the action more serious and relatable. Without those tighter set of rules in IV, the action would have meant less, or at least to me. They had train surfing, crazy air jumping and all that stuff in IV as well so I don't know what you mean by that. And of course V won't be gritty like IV, V is to be the polar apposite then IV when it comes to the vibe and theme of the story and atmosphere. Sunny, open, bright and colorful west coast Los Santos, a story about the ambition and pursuit of the almighty dollar, the substance of the American Dream and the pursuit of happiness. IV, east coast , cold, dark, gritty tale se in Liberty City and its corruption of the American Dream and it's greedy capitalistic infection of the almighty dollar, the substance that changes a man for the worst. Both have heavy action, a serious tone and a deeper meaning then just shooting up other guys. Now when you add nonsense into that mix, it just takes a work of art and makes it a joke. A dildo as a weapon, a jetpack, those are the things that I see that ruin the atmosphere and stage that these HD renderations try to evoke. These HD worlds are a high form of art and self refection on America and its problems ranging from social, media and political shenanigans. Look at Red Dead Redemption, would you have taken to the atmosphere of its western feel if you were contently being brought out of it because of something as odd as a jetpack or a dildo or other odd stuff? How would it have felt like a western then? Same logic applies to modern day Los Santos.

 

Take it like this, Rockstar are trying to make a game that places its story characters and environment in the modern setting of Los Angeles. That is the feel they are going for, a fictional and hyper violent one though. Adding stuff like that just doesn't fit a modern interpretation if it's only going to slap itself with unnatural objects that don't fit into that vision.

 

Lastly, sir just because you know a fun fact about the universe doesn't mean you are smart, it just means you are more knowledgeable. Anyone can have knowledge, but a true intellect has the brain power to envision many great and complex things, they can ether have a heavy abstract intelligence where their mind has so many twist and bends in their never ending thought process that it allows them to overthink many things about life and existence. They have a vivid and active brain that sees more then average people. Usually scientists and writers. Then there are the intelligent beings who have a vast complex and calculation mindset that can think through many situations in a very straightforward thought pattern affixed between many variables. These people tend to be corporate leaders and politicians. Show me you have ether one of those mind sets by explaining your opinions in a smart fashion, then I will not call you stupid.

Well, sometimes people don't want to think about all the bullsh*t of real life. They don't want to think about big political issues or how they're going to pay the bills this month or any of that stuff. They just want to relax and blow stuff up.

 

GTA was basically born on the basis that people enjoyed pissing off cops and leading them on huge chases. That's how it started.

 

It's understandable at least why you wouldn't want a jet pack, after all real life jetpacks only last about 30 minutes and you can't go very high on them. Oh, jetpacks exist by the way. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/rea...Back-in-Jetpack

 

But the thing against the dildo makes even less sense. I mean, dildos exist, right? Hell, they exist in all shapes and sizes, how does their main purpose detract from their possible uses as a weapon.

 

GTA to me was never a big study on capitalism or corporate greed or anything like that. It was essentially a big wacky sandbox where you could recreate your favorite insane movie scenes or come up with all new huge hollywood style stunts to pull off. Yes, a good story is a great thing to have, but it never was the core of the game. The core was always big hollywood style improvised action and hilarious police chases. And if the game happened to say something about a big issue along the way, cool.

 

But then IV comes along and suddenly extreme sports are replaced with boring normal activities. Instead of jumping that huge ramp at arco del weste, we were now bowling. Instead of getting to fly a fighter jet, we now got to play darts. Instead of stealing trains, we got to go to comedy clubs where the experience could easily be replicated by looking up the comedian on youtube.

 

Hell, I didn't hate the social system because of the calls. I hated the social system because it was the only ongoing thing to do outside the story. The street races dried up, I didn't care for assassinations, and random mayhem was crippled by the fact that my cheat menu could easily be closed by an enemy bullet.

 

BOGT did me a solid by bringing in an APC and base jumping, but it also was huge tease. "Here's a huge plane" it said in the last mission. "You can have a shoot out inside it and blow up the cockpit then skydive out of the hole where the cockpit was. What's that? FLYING it? Oh my gosh, let's not get wacky here.". That sucked. I liked the APC and base jumping, but they designed a whole plane interior and made it fly but didn't make it useable.

 

Hell, all that is why Saints Row 2 and to a lesser extent The Third were such godsends to me. Finally I could be as wacky as I wanted in a sandbox game again. Finally, I could recreate the crazy 88 scene from kill bill in SR2. And then in SR3 the missions had me being a tron dragon in one mission and skydiving in a tank in the other. I found it to be a lot of fun and was massively disappointed that mission replay was not available, so I would have to start a new game to get those missions again.

 

But the main point is that I don't play games to experience the limitations of real life, I play them to have lots of fun and giggle inanely as I car surf in a hot dog costume or stab some pedestrian with a katana. Hell, that still is a reason I play GTA, even 4.

 

Besides which, if you want all serious and no humor, go for mafia II. That has a perfect recreation of new york in the 50s on it, and there's no "stupid stuff" to "detract" from the "Drama".

[Dick Justice]

I have to agree with Nameless, I'm not buying the "silly" tone that some people seem to be fishing for in the trailer, and that doesn't mean I want to play Mafia II, it just means I want a Grand Theft Auto game that isn't over-the-top wacky.

 

And it'd please me a lot more if people would stop claiming that GTA has always been "silly." Even San Andreas is a pretty grounded game tonally, at least in the Los Santos/San Fierro sections of the story.

I didn't say I don't like humor, I just don't like stuff that doesn't fit the atmosphere. Humor is a big thing I enjoy About GTA, how they make fun of almost all American culture and parody it. But even that highlights themes about our culture that sometimes we find are a bit true.

 

Also, to be honest, I never really liked the old GTAs until GTA IV. I myself enjoy playing video games for a good story, relatable and self-reflective symbolism and just the fact that I find it as interactive art. It is the highest form of entertainment media to me. So I guess we can bicker all day long but our perspectives on the matter but none the less, they are highly different opinions. No, I'm not always into such a serious tone but I feel this new HD GTA era just has this absolute charm to it that I still can't find out of any other video game.

 

I'm sure GTA will give you type of fans more tools for fun like that (I prefer some of that stuff with my friends on multiplayer aswell) in V with planes, new guns and other many things, but all those fit the atmosphere so I'm okay with it. But I will not sit idly by as stuff is forced its way in that makes no sense as to why it is there like a god damned jetpack, man I don't care if it's real, it's just not an average thing for a modern atmosphere, same as dildo weapons. When do you hear of a dildo murder on the news over the many reports of gun violence?. It's good to have fun but not when it makes the play-stage a mockery.

[SeaFoam]

Can I want something from GTA III to return?

 

Pedestrians that carjack. I remember when hanging around the commercial district in Staunton Island late at night and you had thugs randomly walking around looking for cars to jack. It was great because it didn't feel safe I guess you could say. Problem with GTA IV was you could walk anywhere, any time of day and no one would attempt to steal your car, mug you, whatever.

 

As far as I remember Vice City nor San Andreas had this, but it's been awhile.

You didn't see a jetpack in Red Dead, why, because it destroys the atmosphere of the wild west. Same thing goes for a modern day re take of Los Angeles.

Oh yeah, god forbid the game have something fun that you wouldn't have to use.

 

Credibility shmedibility. Sometimes it takes balls to be wacky and stupid in an era where gamers demand so much realism and drama.

 

But hey, if that's really how you feel, there's always mafia 3 to look forward to.

False, it balls to take something serious in a era where nonsense and wacky crap is the main focus of our gaming industry.

Watch the second trailer again. Does it look like the game will be that serious? You know, with trains surfing rednecks that skydive out of cargo planes with jeeps?

 

Look, gritty realism has been done. It's been done by GTA IV, Mafia II, Heavy Rain and soon Beyond Two Souls, Fallout 3, Sleeping Dogs, Far Cry 2, and soon even a star wars game (Star Wars 1313).

 

More importantly, why does V HAVE to be serious? Why can't it have some wacky stuff? I know saints row already does that, but mafia II already does gritty realism, so why not have a jetpack or a tank or two.

 

Also, you can call me stupid once you answer this question: How many particles of matter and forces of nature is the universe made of?

 

Because I happen to know that.

GTA V will have to same type of action that GTA IV had, just a different vibe of it. They're not straying away from the serious undertone of the GTA IV trilogy at all. What you're referring to is the over the top movie type action that GTA is known for, that never stopped in IV, it was just given more constrictions to make the action more serious and relatable. Without those tighter set of rules in IV, the action would have meant less, or at least to me. They had train surfing, crazy air jumping and all that stuff in IV as well so I don't know what you mean by that. And of course V won't be gritty like IV, V is to be the polar apposite then IV when it comes to the vibe and theme of the story and atmosphere. Sunny, open, bright and colorful west coast Los Santos, a story about the ambition and pursuit of the almighty dollar, the substance of the American Dream and the pursuit of happiness. IV, east coast , cold, dark, gritty tale se in Liberty City and its corruption of the American Dream and it's greedy capitalistic infection of the almighty dollar, the substance that changes a man for the worst. Both have heavy action, a serious tone and a deeper meaning then just shooting up other guys. Now when you add nonsense into that mix, it just takes a work of art and makes it a joke. A dildo as a weapon, a jetpack, those are the things that I see that ruin the atmosphere and stage that these HD renderations try to evoke. These HD worlds are a high form of art and self refection on America and its problems ranging from social, media and political shenanigans. Look at Red Dead Redemption, would you have taken to the atmosphere of its western feel if you were contently being brought out of it because of something as odd as a jetpack or a dildo or other odd stuff? How would it have felt like a western then? Same logic applies to modern day Los Santos.

 

Take it like this, Rockstar are trying to make a game that places its story characters and environment in the modern setting of Los Angeles. That is the feel they are going for, a fictional and hyper violent one though. Adding stuff like that just doesn't fit a modern interpretation if it's only going to slap itself with unnatural objects that don't fit into that vision.

 

Lastly, sir just because you know a fun fact about the universe doesn't mean you are smart, it just means you are more knowledgeable. Anyone can have knowledge, but a true intellect has the brain power to envision many great and complex things, they can ether have a heavy abstract intelligence where their mind has so many twist and bends in their never ending thought process that it allows them to overthink many things about life and existence. They have a vivid and active brain that sees more then average people. Usually scientists and writers. Then there are the intelligent beings who have a vast complex and calculation mindset that can think through many situations in a very straightforward thought pattern affixed between many variables. These people tend to be corporate leaders and politicians. Show me you have ether one of those mind sets by explaining your opinions in a smart fashion, then I will not call you stupid.

Well, sometimes people don't want to think about all the bullsh*t of real life. They don't want to think about big political issues or how they're going to pay the bills this month or any of that stuff. They just want to relax and blow stuff up.

 

GTA was basically born on the basis that people enjoyed pissing off cops and leading them on huge chases. That's how it started.

 

It's understandable at least why you wouldn't want a jet pack, after all real life jetpacks only last about 30 minutes and you can't go very high on them. Oh, jetpacks exist by the way. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/rea...Back-in-Jetpack

 

But the thing against the dildo makes even less sense. I mean, dildos exist, right? Hell, they exist in all shapes and sizes, how does their main purpose detract from their possible uses as a weapon.

 

GTA to me was never a big study on capitalism or corporate greed or anything like that. It was essentially a big wacky sandbox where you could recreate your favorite insane movie scenes or come up with all new huge hollywood style stunts to pull off. Yes, a good story is a great thing to have, but it never was the core of the game. The core was always big hollywood style improvised action and hilarious police chases. And if the game happened to say something about a big issue along the way, cool.

 

But then IV comes along and suddenly extreme sports are replaced with boring normal activities. Instead of jumping that huge ramp at arco del weste, we were now bowling. Instead of getting to fly a fighter jet, we now got to play darts. Instead of stealing trains, we got to go to comedy clubs where the experience could easily be replicated by looking up the comedian on youtube.

 

Hell, I didn't hate the social system because of the calls. I hated the social system because it was the only ongoing thing to do outside the story. The street races dried up, I didn't care for assassinations, and random mayhem was crippled by the fact that my cheat menu could easily be closed by an enemy bullet.

 

BOGT did me a solid by bringing in an APC and base jumping, but it also was huge tease. "Here's a huge plane" it said in the last mission. "You can have a shoot out inside it and blow up the cockpit then skydive out of the hole where the cockpit was. What's that? FLYING it? Oh my gosh, let's not get wacky here.". That sucked. I liked the APC and base jumping, but they designed a whole plane interior and made it fly but didn't make it useable.

 

Hell, all that is why Saints Row 2 and to a lesser extent The Third were such godsends to me. Finally I could be as wacky as I wanted in a sandbox game again. Finally, I could recreate the crazy 88 scene from kill bill in SR2. And then in SR3 the missions had me being a tron dragon in one mission and skydiving in a tank in the other. I found it to be a lot of fun and was massively disappointed that mission replay was not available, so I would have to start a new game to get those missions again.

 

But the main point is that I don't play games to experience the limitations of real life, I play them to have lots of fun and giggle inanely as I car surf in a hot dog costume or stab some pedestrian with a katana. Hell, that still is a reason I play GTA, even 4.

 

Besides which, if you want all serious and no humor, go for mafia II. That has a perfect recreation of new york in the 50s on it, and there's no "stupid stuff" to "detract" from the "Drama".

I didn't say I don't like humor, I just don't like stuff that doesn't fit the atmosphere. Humor is a big thing I enjoy About GTA, how they make fun of almost all American culture and parody it. But even that highlights themes about our culture that sometimes we find are a bit true.

 

Also, to be honest, I never really liked the old GTAs until GTA IV. I myself enjoy playing video games for a good story, relatable and self-reflective symbolism and just the fact that I find it as interactive art. It is the highest form of entertainment media to me. So I guess we can bicker all day long but our perspectives on the matter but none the less, they are highly different opinions. No, I'm not always into such a serious tone but I feel this new HD GTA era just has this absolute charm to it that I still can't find out of any other video game.

 

I'm sure GTA will give you type of fans more tools for fun like that (I prefer some of that stuff with my friends on multiplayer aswell) in V with planes, new guns and other many things, but all those fit the atmosphere so I'm okay with it. But I will not sit idly by as stuff is forced its way in that makes no sense as to why it is there like a god damned jetpack, man I don't care if it's real, it's just not an average thing for a modern atmosphere, same as dildo weapons. When do you hear of a dildo murder on the news over the many reports of gun violence?. It's good to have fun but not when it makes the play-stage a mockery.

Well hey, since I will probably get my tools, I do hope that the story will be serious or well written or dramatic or whatever-it-is-you-like enough to make an impression that will last until the end of time.

 

For the record, I do like emotional stories, I just need other "Tools" to do things with when those stories end.

 

But also, for the record, when I say "Emotional" I mean things that actually do explore emotions. Happy, sad, greedy, angry, desperate, content, hedonistic, in love, not in love, wackiness, seriousness, wacky seriousness, serious wackyness (if both are possible), and everything in between. But on the other hand I guess I don't really need one either, which is one reason why GTA has attracted me. It provides good stories and fun gameplay, and doesn't compromise on either. Well, until IV, but even then the DLC fixed most of my issues.

Um yeah, keeping San Andreas would be nice. lol

 

It already looks amazing.

[Patrizio]

Can I want something from GTA III to return?

 

Pedestrians that carjack. I remember when hanging around the commercial district in Staunton Island late at night and you had thugs randomly walking around looking for cars to jack. It was great because it didn't feel safe I guess you could say. Problem with GTA IV was you could walk anywhere, any time of day and no one would attempt to steal your car, mug you, whatever.

 

As far as I remember Vice City nor San Andreas had this, but it's been awhile.

Agree with this. Other criminals aside from the protag would be a welcome return.

 

IIRC correctly carjackers WERE in VC. I don't believe they were in SA, however.

[GTA2THACORE]

Well some of the buildings in screenshots from gta v are from san andreas, so i assume there will be things from san andreas in gta v.

[GarrowsKai]

I would love a Jet-Pack.

[Red XIII]

The jetpack. http://martinjetpack.com/ Its a reality, and not silly at all. If only most of you guys new what humans are capable of right now in terms of technology. http://gajitz.com/now-you-see-it-scales-re...ally-invisible/

 

BTW, there is another topic identical to this one 2 threads below.

[GroundZero]

Ability to buy properties/businesses.

Already confirmed not to be in the game.

 

OT, I'd really like to see silenced pistols return...

[Vanzant]

Let's use VTAG's thread since it's older and bumped about the same time this was made.
