Public Transport Free Roam

A major improvement recent titles brought was the removal of loading screens from the map even when entering/exiting buildings. However it would be awesome to extend this level of freedom to public transport - I felt that the automated system for entering/exiting trains disrupted the fluidity of the game in GTA 4.

 

If you're a GTA newbie - In the last game, when using the subway network you were prompted to press a button to enter the train, then the game switched to a cinematic camera. You could alternate the view from inside to overhead but had no control over the character until the train reached another station when you were presented with the option to disembark.

 

(So far we know there are trains and buses in the game but planes and ferries have put in appearances in past titles so the possibilities for this extend beyond land based modes of travel if other modes of public transport are available.)

 

San Andreas allowed us to hijack trains by pulling the driver out of the cab but I think the next step would be an action movie style; 'break into the control room and take control of the vehicle from the inside'. Then we could choose between a cinematic overhead camera, or an inside drivers point of view, from which to operate the vehicle.

 

How cool would it be to be able to continue your free roam on public transport - wreaking havoc by robbing pasengers and trying to hijack the vehicle in motion. Rockstar have said 'peds will react to what you do in GTA V'. Think of the potential extra mayhem that this new interaction could bring with this extra freedom - foot chases through subway cars or a brawl in the driver's cab of a bus fighting for control of the vehicle... tounge2.gif

They've added bus transportation and trains have returned. I think there is a proper subway this time, you can see a subway in one of the screenshots.

bus activity from VC would be awesome.

There is already a full bus transportation in the game. You can even see it in trailer 2.

I hope you can just walk and do your thing inside the trains just like the old mafia!

Would be even better if you could make the train stop and hijack everyone in it viddy_pirate.gif

they should just make it like RDR. the train has a fixed time plan and not like in SA or GTA4 were it spawns randomly. also in RDR:

 

u could just jump on it walk free inside and do what u want. i think thats what u meant. not these "enter train" and then u have cutscenes showing your ride.

 

same for bus imo

I think rockstar learnt a lot from rdr so I think anything that worked in it will return for V. I thought the trains were really good in red dead, I'm sure it will be similar. Dunno about buses though.

Exactly what I meant! I loved that system in RDR. Actually I loved everyhting about RDR haha biggrin.gif Also reminds me of capturing people with my lasso and then lay them down on the tracks and just wait for that train haha

I think that would be pretty useless. It would be good however if there was a full plane transportation system so we can see peds entering the airport and sh*t.

On the subject of this - I hope to God, that the bus transport thing isn't just narrowed down to the 'Celebrity Home Tours' and that we can actually GET a bus from A to B, like we did in Liberty with Taxis.

 

Also - in terms of being IN a plane as a passenger, like that other guy said a few posts above me; I would love that too - if we got to actually be in the interior of the plane. Would NEVER happen though, due to many people [including myself] getting up and blasting all around us on the plane or bombing it and jumping out with a parachute.

 

Too much 9/11 butthurt for that to happen.

Totally agree, OP. I've wanted this since GTA3! Would be great to walk about inside the trains, planes and busses.

Or you can just switch character while taking the bus, taxi, train or plane.

Do you think planes can be used as public transport?

I'd be arse about face and beat up an old age pensioner because they didn't give up their seat to a young gangster lol.gif

 

Is a good idea, perhaps we could take control of the public transport to?

We could also use this in multiplayer! Imagine stealing one of those double-decker, open topped tourist buses and getting ten of your friends armed with guns driving around downtown Los Santos, shooting anything that moves!
