universetwisters Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I want to get all 3 protagonists to meet up in the middle of a middle school football field for a circlejerk to the National Anthem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durden Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Upon first glance, I thought that it was either a mission, or the driver being chased by police was a random pedestrian event. Your theory about it being another one of the protags is also interesting and feasible. It would be pretty cool. Although, I think R* kinda lied when they said that, because I think the other 2 protags just cease to exist when you're playing as one of them.

Revolution-XW Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I believe we can take them out to hang out all three if them in our own free roam time just like Luis did with A and H from Tbogt. It'll be a lot of fun going to different places and do different activities with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyBelic Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I'd play as Michael, buy a nice sniper rifle with a silencer, go sit out on a building, get Trevor and Frank together and hunt them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias_Rieper Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 In the first GameInformer preview they confirmed that the other protagonists will only stay in their general areas of the map during free roam. So it'll be possible to be with only one at a time, unless on mission with all three, or if we can in fact hang out with both for activities.

Gtaghost22 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Although, I think R* kinda lied when they said that, because I think the other 2 protags just cease to exist when you're playing as one of them. One of the May 2nd previews mentioned that you could drop one of the protags in the middle of the desert and quickly switch to another one and fly with a jet to that protag and you will find him walking back home. They have obviously seen someone doing that in-game, so I don't know how that can be a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teh Edgiest Man on Earth Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Well this worked in GTA IV without any performance fudge up, you could leave one active entity on one end of Bohan, while you were dicking around on Acter in Alderney. So I really trust R* on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those down there are the protags, it isn't free roam. In some of the new previews they said you can't switch between them while having a wanted level. That's lame.

How does that have any relevance to the screen? The player could either be playing as the person being persued by the police, or they could be playing as the pilot. We can't switch while we have a wanted level (for obvious reasons), but who's to say we can't switch to a character to find that they already have a wanted level on them?

I'd be very surprised if they allowed this, as I imagine there'd be a lot of people bitching about it. That is a solid point, however if R* do implement this I believe it won't be too harsh. I imagine we'll have 2 stars max -- anything higher would be something to bitch about. The guy in the picture doesn't look like he has it too bad, I can definitely imagine that being a 2-star wanted level with just a couple cop cars and a reconnaissance helicopter. Nothing severe, just a fun challenge to spice things up. Besides, according to R* the situations we spawn in will be so dynamic, that we will never begin to see the same scenario twice. To do this, there needs to be loads of possible scenarios -- not just walking out of hotels or waking up on the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackNoise Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) I think we'll be able to switch at any time while off mission, including while wanted, because I just can't see why not. If you say it's because it takes the challenge away, then please tell me what committing suicide does? You instantly lose your wanted level. And if you say that's different because you lose money, then what do you think would happen if you left a protagonist after you built up a wanted level. They would probably either die or get arrested and lose money and possibly all the weapons they had. You would still have the same motivation to make sure you lose that wanted level either by staying with that protagonist or switching to help that protagonist. The main reason I think we'll be able to switch while wanted is to help each other/ourselves out and still get that new switch mechanic type of gameplay even while off mission. You could be wanted as Michael, switch to Franklin or Trevor, or call them up and then switch when they're close and start taking out cops before they even know you're there. It's also been confirmed you can hang out with each other outside of missions. I don't know how far that goes, but the type of gameplay that's already been confirmed would work perfectly with multiple protagonists and the switch mechanic. Instead of skydiving and bailing on your helicopter. Why not skydive and still have a protagonist in the chopper to pick you up as soon as you land? Or why not have multiple protagonists when you're diving underwater? If you get far away from your boat, you can switch and pick yourself up? I just think there are too many possibilities for R* to limit the switching too much. "You have other people you can hang out with, but the main people you choose are the other protagonists," he says, stressing that the intricacies are still being worked on. "If you're playing as Michael and you want to play a game of tennis, you can call up Franklin and ask him. You are actually getting to see the main bulk of the story and also spend time with these people off-mission – that side of it gives it a vibrancy that's a lot stronger than with Roman or anyone else. source Edited May 20, 2013 by BlackNoise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You rhetorically ask what would happen if we theoretically left a protagonist that has a wanted level, saying that he'll die/get arrested anyways. However, R* have said that we cannot switch characters while our currently selected character has a wanted level, so this paragraph is invalid. The main reason I think we'll be able to switch while wanted is to help each other/ourselves out and still get that new switch mechanic type of gameplay even while off mission. You could be wanted as Michael, switch to Franklin or Trevor, or call them up and then switch when they're close and start taking out cops before they even know you're there As cool as this sounds, like I've already said - R* have denied the ability to leave a character while they are wanted. It's also been confirmed you can hang out with each other outside of missions. I don't know how far that goes, but the type of gameplay that's already been confirmed would work perfectly with multiple protagonists and the switch mechanic.

Or why not have multiple protagonists when you're diving underwater? If you get far away from your boat, you can switch and pick yourself up? Can you provide me with a link, please? I'm curious where R* said we can hang out with the other protagonists. Regardless of all those possibilities you listed, I don't think R* are giving us that much freedom. We already know that time passes when you switch characters -- just how much, however, and how frequently, remains to be seen. In the demo, time advances from day to night -- no word on if we can switch characters without time advancing, though. EDIT: Just read the source. That is very cool. This basically means that your last paragraph is very likely to happen. While we are hanging out with our friends, we can probably switch to them and do the types of stuff you listed. Nice.

My bad, I never read that. Do you have a source? Go to GTAV.net and scroll down to the GTAV Online Previews & Screenshots. The 2nd last point under 'General' says this: There are some restrictions to character switching, such as how you can't abandon a character while you have a Wanted Level. Lose the heat first! The character selection meter will let you know when you can swap out. EDIT: Yeah you've got it. Nice ideas, though! I believe your last paragraph will be possible to do. @Gtaghost22: I got home 6 hours after the previews released, and my anticipation was so high that I was tempted to look at the info summary, skipping the magazine pages that tend to beat around the bush. I would've read the previews, however, but my friend was over and he loves GTA (not as much as me) and he is very impatient so he made me just read the info summary. Ever since then, I have no real motivation to read the previews, since I know basically everything now. Edited May 20, 2013 by gionascm2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
