Will there be Hospitals?

[rodrich266]

So, I read in one of the many coverages GTA V has had recently that when we die in the game, the game will reload from the last checkpoint.

 

Does this mean that there will be no more hospitals? Does this mean we won't need them? Does this mean we will lose a hallmark of the series that has always been with us since GTA III?

 

Do you like this? I don't really, just because I may lose that hidden package I have been looking for and didn't manage to get to save before getting killed by cops or being run over by some random car.

 

What do you think?

[JoyDivision]

i hope the checkpoints are only in the mission. when free roaming it would be cool if you are in hospital when you die and have to change to a different character for a while

I don't see this as a problem. IV took out alot of things like Ammunation.

[pentaxian]

i guess they're doing it for realism sake, if it's true that is. that kinda sucks. it really should be situational, but i guess thats a bit difficult to create in a game already stuffed with content.

 

like if you get hit by car and your last bit of life is gone and if you are in town you could make it to a hospital, but if you're in the desert alone, you die.

[wwinterj]

I hope they are still there but if not no big deal.

[I<3GTAV]

I'm thinking and hoping it's only in missions, that would kind of suck if it wasn't but I would get over it.

[eclaireN7]

Pretty sure thats only on missions...

[Death2Drugs]

Taking out hospitals completely? I'm very sure hospitals will still appear in game.

 

I'm not crying whether they'll take out respawnng at the hospitals at death or not.

[MrSpooge]

It'd be only in missions, it's a GTA Tradition to Respawn at Hospitals! Though, I am curious to see how it works in this game because of the actually scope of the game, will there be hospitals or medical centers out in the Wide Open Spaces? Obviously not but how they are spread out will be interesting to see where you respawn and how close to where you died. Maybe there wont be and you respawn at a Property, but I highly doubt that.

[Racecarlock]

I hope it means we get to pull a Just Cause 2 and not lose our weapons or even time.

 

"BUT REALIZUM!!!"

 

Oh shut up. Go play theme hospital if it's really that important to you.

[Death2Drugs]

But if respawning at hospitals is realistic, why would they get paramedics to save some guy who just finished massacring people?

Hahahaha..

 

Isn't respawning.. at all, UN-realistic..

I'm gonna go with "The god of chaos loves you and heals you for 6 hours when you die at a minimal cost to you because he loves chaos so much".

 

Because reality can go suck a fat one with it's medical bills, taxes, gas, regular bills, and food shopping.

[Masher8559]

No more wasted.

[vivalavendredi]

I bet it will be like in MP3.

It was a combination of self-regeneration and medi-packs. Worked out fine and gave me the huzzle sometimes

Just like in SA, you respawn and the nearest hospital and those small towns will have hospitals. Depending on their size, some may not just like in SA, but still the same applies, respawn at the nearest hospital wherever it is.

 

On topic: Check points are in missions, you can't really have checkpoints in free gameplay in and open world game, except if it's some kid of auto save when you enter/exit interiors or every few minutes but that's just stupid. We'll get the same system we all know and love.

[nismo13]

Rest your little heads people there will be hospitals. I am 110% sure! There are ambulances in the game so there has to be hospitals.

There were Taxis in every GTA, so far.

 

But, the only taxi depots we've seen are Tommy Vercetti's and Roman Bellic's.

With your logic, can you please show me a picture of a Taxi depot in GTA SA? And mind pointing it on the map for me?

[Kiffster]

There will be hospitals. I'm pretty sure checkpoints will only be for missions, so if you die outside missions, you'll still end up at the hospital (imo). Plus, hospitals are not only used when you die. You can go there for free health if you're low on it (like in IV).

What do you think?

Ofc it will be hospitals. Why not? You really dont need any hospitals in IV either. But for the more realistic way, they put it in. Im pretty sure they will put it in V aswell.

[GTA_fear]

Yes, there must be hospitals. RDR's system was awful when it comes to this.

I don't think it's so much for realism's sake as it is to create an incentive to avoid getting killed by creating consequences, i.e. losing money. And the hospital theme makes sense for that because then losing money = paying the hospital bills.

[TheQuestfor100Percent]

Hospitals don't matter if you never die.

Hospital bills are a way of punishing you for dying. There has to be some punishment for dying/getting arrested otherwise people wont care at all when it happens. Also the fact that 6 hours go by isn't inconvenient for anyone therefore they should leave it in, yes, for realism. Because the concept that you can be completely healed from near death instantly is ridiculous. If I had it my way a few days would pass. I don't see how that becomes an issue.

[jogy]

If there are ambulances in the game, there are hospitals.

[Killerdude]

This is obviously Mission specific.

[dangr]

This is obviously Mission specific.

That's right.

 

Checkpoints in free roam? This is stupid.

[J-B]

In the Mapping Los Santos thread they've found a few hospitals already so I assume they're back.

[d3ex2]

Checkpoints are mission only so you don't need to travel from the hospital back to the mission giver or even bother going through your phone to set up a retry. It will be like Redemption. You die and you get the option to restart from checkpoint or the beginning of the mission.

 

Hospitals are for when you die out of mission.

 

Simple.

[LennonNL]

There will be hospitals. I'm pretty sure checkpoints will only be for missions, so if you die outside missions, you'll still end up at the hospital (imo). Plus, hospitals are not only used when you die. You can go there for free health if you're low on it (like in IV).

Only a few (infact I can only think of one of the top of my head?) of hospitals in GTA IV were you actually able to go inside. I know there was health on the walls outside of some of them, but if people want realism then hospitals should be more than just a spawn point when you die.

I like that idea mentioned where if you die, you have to switch players for a while while the guy you died with is recovering in hospital - it would add some meaning to dying rather than losing a couple K
