WASTED?

[SkyReaper2014]

So I got to thinking of ways the new protag system could be used. More specifically, how you get wasted (or busted.)

 

As far as I know this hasn't been talked about. What if instead of just getting teleported to the hospital with hours passed, on death you switch to another protag, possibly of choosing, then a little later get a call from that protag asking to get picked up.

 

I know they will probably use the old way, but what do you all think about it?Opinions?

You spawn outside of the hospital as always.

I miss the wasted and busted that came up on screen like on san andreas

You should lose your weapons I mean what's the point evading the cops when you know if you die you're going to get your guns back.

 

Edit the wasted words no but I hate the whole black and white thing.

That's actually a good idea, because it's somewhat punishing for the player, forcing you to switch characters instead of the usual respawn. And it makes sense given the whole three character scenario.

Honestly, when you die I want to lose all of my weapons.

Yes. That's really a cool idea!

i liked the whole black n white thing,especially the way you could still look around to see the final moments of your life before it faded away!!

 

however, i do agree that improvement is required and totally agree with the thread creator on his idea,i think that would be cool and better than spawning at the hospital,although it does technically mean that you have 2 protags in the same place and vehcile at the same time................not sure how that would work or interfere with other things?

I think the kill cam in IV was just a way for Rockstar to show off the rag doll physics.

Ι want these:

Option to surrender even with 5-star wanted level.

Losing much more money when we get killed.

Losing our weapons when we get busted or killed.

 

In that way we could have a balance between the times that we get busted or wasted.

When we are sure that we can't escape (and that we will definitely lose our weapons) we can surrender to lose less money at least.

I don't remember being busted many times in any GTA game.

Good thinking.

 

Also maybe have a delay on switching back to the character who just died to give them time to get back to their house.

Question, what if it's not your fault you got wasted? What then? Like, what if a car just ran you over out of nowhere. I know I've been run over by ambulances. Do you still get punished? Because that doesn't seem very fair. Especially to those who do not use weapons cheats.

I remember this thread from months ago.

It could work like this: You only lose your weapons if you die with a wanted level. (If you only lost them via death by cop, people would just suicide when they were about to die). All other deaths whether caused by you or not won't result in your weapons taken away.

I want it like GTA IV but a little less slowmotion (or that you can control that) and not black and white.

 

Also, I don't want the screen to go black. Sometimes I want to see how my guy crashes from a high point into the ground or something different. Let us decide when we want to respawn by simply pressing the A button.

This.

 

also i do want the old wasted words back, but it just doens't seem right in this Era...maybe next Era they can try this.

I beleive there was a way to slow or speed up the slow motion kill cam. Also you could slow motion everything in cinematic view if you pressed L3 on the PS3 version. Am I the only one who enjoyed the IV kill cam. I actually wish it stayed on longer cause those physics were fun as hell.

Yeah that's what I mean! The screen went black way too fast.

Ha I just read your post. I would find inventive ways to kill Niko too, and would like to see it all in slow motion.

Heheh. This reminds me of when I was reading the GTA III wiki. Something to with the A.I. screwing up or just not being very intelligent, but it said that the paramedics actually kill more people than they rescue. Oh, the irony.
