Jets are useless.

Since we now know how big Los Santos is in Gta V ( Which is like the same size as as San Andreas era of Los santos, which is pretty small nontheless) Do you think jets will be taken out now since they are pointless? I mean we could still fly them, it would probably take about 20 secs to get to the other side of the map, unless we go in circle( Sounds like alot of fun icon14.gif ) So my point is, they are useless in such a small world. I would like to hear you guys opinion on this matter( Like it matters anyway, most people are going to suck up to Cockstar.)

You call them cockstar, and complain about their games, but still care enough to post here?

What? Los Santos alone is pretty much the size of Liberty City in GTA IV, then there's the mountains and the enormous countryside... that's NOT 20 seconds in total to fly across.

Not sure where you got this from

Incase you didnt know or have some sort of brain eating tumour that makes you forget logic and reason, there is a vast countryside called blane county to fly jets over.

You are an idiot.

1. we dont know the whole map size

2. Why would they take jets out ? They (R*) knew how big the map was and they put jet fighters in on purpose.

Geez im so tired of people like you posting stupid ass threads.

First off, you have no idea how big Los Santos is and trust me, it's way WAY bigger than the 2004 version.

Secondly, you'll need to pilot planes for certain missions and don't think it will take 20 seconds to fly to the other side of the map.

Let's up that to 8 or 9 minutes.

 

In Summary - Los Santos is as large as LC map and don't forget the massive countryside, forests and deserts.

Planes will be much well received for Gta 5.

The concept of fun seems to escape you. Dogfights, stunts, relaxation, I can go on?

Have you seen the map?

 

It is huge.

Jets will not be pointless..

 

Now that I noticed there will be Classic GTA characters for V. CJ? Tommy? Claude?

sh*t, that would be awesome biggrin.gif. I only thought about Niko and some of the IV characters, didn't consider the legacy games. What sucks hard is that you need to drop over £100 just to get those characters, so I'll pass unless they're sold separately.

Jets are supposed to quickly get across the map. Just Cause 2 was huge, but it had slow jets, so it took forever. The size of the map doesn't matter anyways, because jets FLY. What's the point of flying a jet if you're not dog fighting? I can do that over water.

Indeed the Jets will be useless...

Please tell me I wasn't the only one thinking this.

 

Oh wait, wrong jets? Well, between the greatly augmented vertical atmosphere, vast countryside, and the strategically-placed bodies of water, the use of jets should be unprecedented. Think of all the air-to-air and air-to-surface combat. Perhaps the speed of the jets will be more controllable this time, instead of merely pressing X to go top speed. Not to mention special maneuvering abilities.

 

Lastly, never underestimate the power of R* developers and marketers. Everything is put in the game for extremely reasonable reasons; reasons most of us are incapable of even fathoming to their greatest extent. Much testing, tweaking, and decision making is done to prevent the inclusion of any futile features. The same goes for the partial unveiling of the map on the Newswire; they are well aware of the stir it would cause, with fans questioning and debating everything left and right. It's all part of the plan, and hopefully, they will be able to play their cards right on through September, when we'll finally be blown away. The greatest, yet seemingly counterintuitive, rule of thumb for marketing a gargantuan franchise such as GTA is to not hype the fans by creating unrealistic expectations, but to rather enrage them through disappointment. This marketing tactic is the salt that makes the final product sweeter.

They'll probably be sold months later like Injustice is now selling the Red Son Pack.

 

But honestly this game seems to be turning into Red Dead Redemption Multiplayer wise of course. Just wait for the whole GET 4X XP THIS WEEKENDZ!!!

 

LOL.

Judging by the intense speed of jets from the footage we've seen, as well as carefully observing the full city of LS in the News Section Thread, I think that with the Fighter Jet we will be able to fly from one side of LS to the other in 20 seconds just like the OP says, or maybe even shorter.

 

The entire map, however? No way - its huge. A safe estimate would be between 40-70 seconds, no more no less.

LS in 20 seconds? lol.gif More like 9 seconds tops at full speed.

Eh to be fair we've only seen a fighter jet for a quick second in Trailer #1. The speed could have changed by now, so we're not sure. Personally if I had to guess specifically, I'd estimate 15 seconds to completely travel the distance of LS's length.

What the hell are you guys talking about? Rockstar pointed out that the map is 3.25 times bigger than liberty city's. The city alone was said to be bigger than Liberty City, which doesn't include the country side

Mr Makaveli

The game isn't even out yet and we've already got a guy bitching about the map being too small to fly a jet... suicidal.gif
