Owning Cars

Players can spend their hard earned money on luxury cars, helicopters, marinas, and even businesses

 

 

This is a piece of text found below one of the new screenshots and it comes from Gameinformer.

 

It's not anything new really, but just made me think of something I haven't seen discussed so I'm making this thread about it. So.. do you think we'll finally get a good system that tracks our cars, at least the ones we buy or customize and thus make ours. I'm talking something like Scarface: The World Is Yours. That game had a perfect system. Basically, you buy cars and they are stored at your mansion so you can go an take them, but if you want a certain car and are not close, you just take your phone and call one of your hired boys to get it for you and it appears in a few seconds just like Roman's cabs would in IV. And if you just leave your car somewhere, instead of it disappearing, it is sent back home.

 

That made for something truly different, Scarface is a sandbox gta clone so most things are the same. BUT I NEVER took someone else's car in that game. I know car jacking is probably what we all do the most in GTAs and I've got nothing against it. What I'd like is to have more options to keep my car, as in previous GTAs, though mostly SA, I'd customize my car and all, then for one reason or another leave it somewhere and never see it again.

 

Now just having the go back home may not be the best decision for V as it's about money and all, so maybe it get's stolen or taken by the police and we can later find it online in one of car dealerships or in police and we have to pay a certain percentage of car's value to get it back which would serve as a nice punishment for just leaving it somewhere, but would also let us keep our custom cars for longer.

And all this applies to oats, helis etc..

A bit too long post I know, but what do you think?

How about if you leave it somewhere, it will spawn back at your safehouse in a few days, destroy it and it's gone for good?

Would be good for some. That's how it worked in Scarface. But I'd personally prefer to be ''punished'' for leaving it somewhere and have to pay to get it back. That would make you ''care'' more about the car. Otherwise it wouldn't mean nothing to the player as they know it'll always be waiting at home. But having to pay some 30% of it's value to get it back.. now that would make you take better care of it and only leave it if necessary.

this topic already has a thread about it.

Hmm, I know that on certain missions we can choose the location for our getaway car so maybe we can finally park up our car outside of a mission, go on a wee rampage a good deal away from the car and then get back to it and drive off. Would be cool because 1. it should be like this anyways 2. it feels like we're in control. I like the idea of making a phone call and having an errand boy/goon drop a vehicle of our choosing off near us (it could just appear near us like the spawn car cheat or could be animated).

 

I want to be able to get a Land Rover and a attach a trailer to it and then load a quad bike onto it, drive off to the country, have a day scudding about on me quad, hen load the quad back onto the trailer and I can drive home. I'd be pissed if my 4x4 and trailer disappear... it would spoil the immersion.

Ideally, I'd want them to spawn at a safehouse. . but I wouldnt need someone to bring them to me. I'm not that lazy in a game.
