Weapon Holsters Confirmed? (with GIF)

[danny41294]

I spotted Michael pulling a pistol from a holster when he smashes through the window, I wonder if this means the GTA standard "magic pockets" are gone?

 

[copperrobber]

i hope they arent, i hope they are not like in MP3, i want it to be classic GTA and you can run around with severeal weapons ! and i think it actually will be that way.

[TheJasonGallant]

It could only be for that scene...

I actually agree with you, the MP3 system just wouldn't work in GTA in my opinion

2 other possibilities:

 

1. Could be cutscene

2. Could be like RDR (you can have every gun in game, but the equipped one(s) are holstered on your character)

[Miss Darko]

With some outfits like that for instance, maybe. But most of the time we're wearing normal clothes with no holsters in sight. And it's not like you see the assault rifle he ends up using later holstered on his back. As unrealistic as it is, it looks like magic pockets are most likely making a return. I don't mind, personally. I prefer not having to be covered in holsters and straps when I go on a rampage.

It kinda confirms that its a cutscene. Weapon holsters plus humanshield both look cool but I doubt it will be in the game.

Wont work for gta

Yeah it could work like in RDR, i wouldnt mind that, i think

[Red XIII]

If the weapon system is like max payne 3 then I will be severely pissed off.

 

But then again, what about the minigun? will it drop when switching weapons?

HENCE MAGIC POCKETS CONFIRMED..

[Hotband]

I don't see it happening.

[danny41294]

I don't see it happening.

I just see it as a little to hard to script

[jdm4life92]

Human shields would be so sick in free roam

[Shaunr]

I think it will be just like RDR. the holstered gun will change if you select a different pistol in the inventory. same with the rifle on your back. whatever rifle you last used will be on your back.

didnt someone from IG that saw the demo said that ,during gameplay, Micheal used someone as a human shield? Im not sure if this is correct.

[Miss Darko]

It would make sense, but we've never seen any screenshots or video footage for that matter of characters with weapons anywhere on their bodies except in their hands. I think that if this were the case, we would have seen that by now.

I think R* has learned by now that it looks much better to pull a gun off your back then it does to pull it out of thin air or your jacket like I remember from IV.

 

And a gun has more use in your hands than on your back so that explains why they wouldn't show you a screenshot or video with a gun on someone's back. It's probably a waste. I think about 99% of the time we see a gun in the trailer or screenshots, it is being used in some way, like aimed at something or fired.

[5000 Staples]

That more looks like a cut scene in fairness.

 

I reallllllllly doubt that they will have gun holsters. but obviously, could be wrong.

[BUT THE BENZ]

^this

I'd love some MP3 realness to GTA, but it will boil down to what he said. Like in RDR

[e1999KrayzieBone]

looks like a cutscene to me (judging by the woman's reactions on the right)

Pistol Holster, melee holster (if a knife or a Police Baton), and a shotgun scabbard that has the magic pockets?

[Guest]

I hated RDR's system. It felt stupid switching from a repeater to a sniper because the weapons just magically change.

 

Best idea is a combination between magic pockets and holstering.

 

Ie. say I'm carrying a shotgun and I want to change to an assault rifle.

I'm holding the shotgun, I switch to rifle. Character puts shotgun into jacket like in IV, and pulls assault rifle out. When I switch to a pistol, character will put rifle on back and draw pistol.

 

This also adds a tactical edge to it; a rifle on your back is quicker to draw than taking it out of your pocket, so you can plan which two weapons you'll have drawn when you enter combat.

 

Obviously you wouldn't ALWAYS have them out, so it would be nice to be able to conceal all the weapons at the expense of them taking longer to draw.

[jogy]

Could be cool. But I doubt R* is going for so much realism.

[IronsteffL]

I imagine they'll just make it like RDR as well. It's kind of stupid to pull a baseball bat, a shotgun, a sniper rifle and a rocket launcher right out of your jacket; the names are Trevor, Franklin and Michael, not Guybrush Threepwood. But I'd love to see some fast drawing from a holster. Since R* seems to like Michael Mann movies, maybe we'll be able to quick draw and shoot enemies like Tom Cruise did in Collateral. You know, when those two thugs take his suitcase and threaten him with their gun and he just takes them out in a blink of an eye, Mozambique Drill style. Would be awesome!

[Sef]

Yeah, I agree with the other people here.

I want it to be like in RDR.

I actually agree with you, the MP3 system just wouldn't work in GTA in my opinion

Since you can prepare for the missions. I think that the possibility of no-magic pockets is 100%. I would like GTA with no magic pockets... The heists got to be harder somehow.

Well nobody wants it! get over it!...Heists can be challenging regardless of whether there will be magic pockets or not...Besides its been confirmed already that weapons system is like in RDR, where you can carry all the guns at once! So go cry me a river...

Yeah, I agree with this. We also have 3 protagonists, so each could have a different set.

 

Quotes like this make me think it might be more similar to MP3's system...

 

 

From Trevor's lookout post, for instance, you can fire on the cops with a sniper rifle, offering support to Franklin, who the cops have hemmed in. Your counterparts can fend for themselves when you're not controlling them, but they'll typically leave the really exciting stuff to you. When an opportunity arises to shoot down a police helicopter with a rocket launcher, the game encourages you to switch to that character and do it yourself, rather than letting it happen offscreen.

You are one of the tens of thousand reasons why this board is, maturity-wise, one of the worst boards I've ever been to and why people think that GTA is mostly played by minors. "Nobody" means "not a single user on this board" - which is BS, since I am one of the people who like a realistic approach to weaponry, weight and concealment - which Rockstar is capable of. If your parents allow you to play GTA, please, at least stop embarrassing yourself by posting stuff like that until you have some stubbles below your nose. Thank you.
