New ways to steal a vehicle..

[gta_fan28]

I notice in some recent Trailer of franklin and other screenshots when he stealing a car he just smash the window with his elbow like in GTAIV.

I don't know if that's the only way to steal a vehicle in this game, well I hope not as the preview said the peds will have an advance AI like helping other peds, or calling the cops and film you when doing a crime.

Why not use some simple tools like the slim jim or utility tools to avoid attracting attention? Best example in Sleeping Dogs using slim jm and Mafia 2 using lock picks. But the elbow smash was still in the game ofcourse especially if you're in a hurry or chasing by the cops. I'm just being realistic here to avoid attracting attention on peds and cops. So what do u think share your thoughts but please be polite and do be rude to others ok..

 

Here's a screenshot franklin smashing the window of the car and I'm sure it will attract attention

 

Here's a slim Jim

they should go a bit modern. with some remote stuff.

 

u can open cars with remote key ( dont know the english word) with a simple device which send signals on different frequences. its even possible with a smartphone.

 

but that would be too much like Watch Dogs even though its realistic sutff and daily buisness for thiefs already

Well the game is called Grand Theft Auto.

[Kakka Carrot Cake]

Lockpicks like in Mafia 2 would be nice

[B Dawg]

Some peds should leave it unlocked while they go buy a hotdog nearby

[TheQuestfor100Percent]

A slim jim would be a neat animation. I imagine if they did do that it would be quick just like smashing the window.

 

I wouldn't mind a small minigame, similar to Chinatown Wars, for high end cars.

I thought about it too, some advance devices I just forgot to include it..

[Revolution-XW]

I agree OP, since stealth is now introduced into the series, I'd love it.

[MrSpooge]

I believe this time around they'll be atleast 2-3 more ways to Car Jack some Unlucky SOB. I plan to jump into Michaels Gardner's car as he finished off work, and as he walks to his car.. I'm make him chase it, ha... Yes you may have this idea, or just steal it.. Blow it up, replace it with a Golf Cart. Maybe I'll be a smartass and use a Tow Truck. We'll see.. But Imma give him Hell.

would be a neat bash against Watch Dogs

Well, I was watching the CVG video about the V demo, and they seemed to mention a sound detection thing in the bottom minimap. So my guess is, if sound and stealth are a thing, there will likely be a quiet way to steal cars.

Edit: Sorry double post, my internet is very messed up.

[TheJasonGallant]

I don't know if there will be other ways... All I know is that it isn't really necessary.

I don't think so.

 

You have health, armor, and special ability bars on the minimap.

 

 

But you are are right about stealth, since it seems to be returning, a quiet way to steal cars makes sense.

I think the hotwiring minigame needs improving. My idea would be this:

Once you have smashed the window and started hotwiring, you have to rotate the left stick to find the 'sweet spot' where the controller vibrates. Whilst keeping the stick in this position, hold accelerate to start the engine. To increase speed as this needs to be a swift process, the sweet spot would occupy maybe 60 degrees in the stick.

[GTAfan786]

Well the game is called Grand Theft Auto.

Not another retarded comment. So what if it is Grand Theft Auto? Doesn't mean everyone wants to cause havoc every single time, it's just another realistic way of stealing cars. A bit of role playing in this game is actually fun, but not too much of course.

[Liberty2k7]

It would be good if at first we could only steal cars by smashing windows but you have the option to buy different tools to jack cars more stealthily. Maybe as our stealth stat rises we can purchase more efficient tools to do it, or at least we get better at picking locks etc. Would be a nice addition!

Well, it wasn't a bar per say. They said that every time the character let out a burst with his (un-slienced) assault rifle, his icon on the minimap would grow bigger and then receded when he stopped.

Im not sure but I think "Mechanic" skill may have something to do with unlocking cars without smashing windows to avoid any attention.

[Caleb_SA]

On star what's your emergency???!!!!

 

''My father just had a heart attack''.....PLEASE START THE CAR NOW!!!!!

 

[Boss7dm]

just shoot the window with a gun, is the easy way.

[JoshuaGraham]

Chinatown wars had some awesome car jacking mini games, but Some how I dont see them making it into V even though most of the were extremely fun like the Drug dealing mini game

[TheQuestfor100Percent]

Now this would be interesting.

yeah you're right the mechanic skill will be useful especially when stealing some car secretly..

That may be one of the three apps that weren't revealed.

Here's a slim Jim

Can I snap into it?

[mulder84]

Maybe the characters would have slightly different ways to carjack. I would imagine Franklin using stealthier methods like a Slim Jim to jack since it's kinda his profession, and realistically car windows are expensive to replace and resale value might drop. Trevor, on the other hand, might just bust the window just like that, since he probably don't give a f*ck anyway.
