Will there be Hospitals?

[I Luke]

I'm sure that will be only in missions. If it's in free roam, I won't be too bothered anyway. I actually hate the fact that when I die, It usually puts me so far away that I can't be bothered to go back and do what I was doing.

[Mr.Moffat]

Has everyone just forgotten that Bogt had checkpoints?

 

You die, you respawn after at a hospital, and then you get a text on your phone asking you do you want to retry the mission, you say yes, your sent to the last checkpoint, you ignore it, you can do what you want.

 

ANd of course Hospitals will be in the game, where else are we going to steal ambulances and find health, plus major cities have hospitals so gta will have hospitals, does'nt matter if they are useful or not, by that logic 90% of the buildings in gta should be taken out because they are useless.

 

There is way too much of a 'I have'nt seen this feature from the preview/trailer etc so OMG ITS NOT IN THE GAME!!!! MUST MAKE THREAD!!!!'' attitude in the form this week.

WHEN YOU DIE

No! Hospitals are not for the dead! Morgues are!

 

Maybe if we got injured so bad and went to a coma, we'd be taken to a hospital. But when we die, I hope we get to see our protagonist get embalmed until his burial after w/c we'll never get to play with that protagonist again.

[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.

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

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.

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.

I don't mind the current system, but I don't want to lose the ability to control any protagonist for an hour because one is in the hospital. And I don't want to have to sit around in the hospital.

 

Current hospitals work fine? I agree, they do. That shouldn't change. Resetting to the most recent save would lose hours of free roaming time. Magical warlock insanely cheap hospitals do work here, and they will continue to work.

Does this mean we will lose a hallmark of the series that has always been with us since GTA III?

Actually, it's been around since GTA 1 as well. It has ALWAYS been a GTA tradition. If they remove it and make it like RDR I'll be very disappointed. I think the reason why RDR had you die for "real" and not have respawn hospitals was because it was a more serious game than most GTA games. d3ex2 makes a good point though. You'll probably respawn at hospitals out of missions. The missions will most likely use a RDR-style checkpoint system. I wish it was more like EFLC though. You fail the mission and can restart it by phone.

I don't care about this kind of stuff.

[GoldenBlade]

This is most likely just for missions. It would suck if it weren't. I hope R* doesn't take the game too far, and take out too much.

[MosquitoSmasher]

No way are the hospitals gone. Where would these ambulances be coming from when you kill a pedestrian on the streets, or a cop or anyone? Which brings me to the question how medics will react. Will they actually now bring a stretcher to put victims on it or will they simply 'heal' victms again, very similar to GTA IV? Another thing i can't wait to find out.

[rodrich266]

Alright many of you have put my mind at ease with this. As many say this is only for missions and in free roam we get the good ol' GTA Hospital system

 

But RDR had you reload your last save when you died, and that is what I meant. So I am still on the fence about this

[Valamyr]

 

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

From the wikipedias;

 

Grand Theft Auto V

 

According to GameInformer's preview of GTA V in their December 2012 issue, Ammu-Nation will make a return. Stores will appear around Los Santos and most likely around the rural areas as well.
