I think it won't be "exclusive" to the collector edition but more like an early access (You might be able to buy it at somempoint in the game)

Well they never stated it was exclusive so you could be correct.

I pray to god this is true. Every previous GTA for the last 15 years has had all the vehicles included on disc and obtainable through normal play. It'd suck to start a new trend where they piecemeal them out via online codes. I like having a complete car collection. What's going to happen in 15 years when I put V in and want to replay it but PSN and XBox Marketplace have been phased out and I can't log on and download them? What are they, just lost forever? I just hate this entire 'online only' concept. Hopefully V will be a throwback to SA in the sense there will be some difficult method of unlocking the Hotknife. IMO it was the hardest vehicle in SA to obtain.

All those DLCs are DLCs, exclusive at the moment availiable in a year or so.

You cannot acquire these through the story of the base game.

 

I don't even believe the blimp is flyable in the base game.

I really hope they are ATLEAST in sale as DLC in XBL/PSN day one. It's quite stupid that A) You are left without things in the game just because you don't throw 150 euros blindly to Rockstar. B) They where limitted so can't even purchase it anymore eventough I (and many others probably) would have wanted. C) No I'm not going to order it from another country just so I have to pay for about 170-200e for the shipping and all that. No game's worth that.

 

I just hope that the weapons are in the game they just cost more or are hard to get. Same goes for the vehicles. Day one dlc type of things have always been a bit BS, ( like for example BF4 has already anounced day one dlc with new weapons and maps) but well I hope it's not a new trend in Rockstar.

Nah I don't think it will be like that, or not for ages anyway. I doubt they'll make it available for anyone after like a week more like a few years

Players will instantly receive a garage to store custom vehicles. In single player, the garage will be stocked with the 1930's style Hotknife hotrod and the CarbonRS sports bike. In Grand Theft Auto Online, players will get the high-end Khamelion electric car.

The fact that they used the word 'instantly' indicates to me, that what you're getting with your Collector's Edition, is early access to these vehicles. The garage you get, might be one you would otherwise have to purchase, saving you some money, and the vehicles stored in it, might only be available for purchase later in the game. It doesn't say anywhere that the Hotknife, the CarbonRS nor the Khamelion are exclusive to the Collector's Edition.

As others have posted, there is nothing clearly stating that these vehicles (and the weapons as well) are exclusive to the collectors editions. I'm sure if they were, they'd make it a point to mention it as it would be greater incentive to buy the collectors edition. The only things that seem exclusive are the special ability perk, the extra stunt plane activities, and extra clothing.

I would be mad at R* if they give the cars ingame away without paying, and I hate the idea to be mad at R* cause I love them^^

It's not like I bought the CE for the cars, but they are a reason as well, and if I could get them ingame with ingame money or what ever, seriously this would be bullcrap

And I don't like it when people just want to buy their way through a game instead of actually playing it and earning it.

 

I enjoy the Hotknife in SA because I actually earned it and not everyone has it. If SA had MP and I was driving my Hotknife around after spending another 15 minutes getting gold on all the tests, and see there's a bunch of people who bought their Hotknife driving around, I'd be annoyed.

 

 

Which is why the Time Savers pack on Burnout Paradise annoyed me. I played the game a lot to get the Platinum paintwork and all the carbon cars, it was quite upsetting to see everyone driving them around because they can throw money at a game instead of playing it.

The ideal scenario in my mind would be that the CE vehicles are unique versions of vehicles that appear in the game normally.

 

I ordered the CE, so I want the exclusive digital content to mean something, but I don't want it to be stuff that people can't get in the standard game, so unique versions of existing vehicles seems the fairest idea.

well I think the same way as you, but if I can get the vehicles only with the CE then I pay for it.

If they are ingame anyway and you have to earn them with collecting sh*t or do what ever (which I will do anyway) I would be mad, cause I just wanted extra vehicles ^^

If I don't get clarity I will downgrade my pre order to the SE, would be a bad joke if you can get stuff ingame for free and advertise a CE with them..

Then look at the images. It says "Exclusive VEHICLES and garage".

I think this is true. Because it doesn't say 'exclusive cars'. So now I'm thinking about pre-ordering the Special Edition because the only extra things you get with the collectors is that early acces to the HotKnife and the Carbon RS bike, and that Khameleon electric car, those previous GTA characters in Multiplayer Character Creator, the cap and the bag.

 

@Niko Vercetti 112:

No.. It says 'UNQUE vehicles and garage property' I don't know what they mean with 'unique'

When they say you instantly receive it they mean you get it as soon as you get into the game, not instantly before anyone else, seriously why are you all trying to find reasons to hate the game and the SE/CE i'd be trying to think of good things about it.

Just got a reply from R* themselfs saying the vehicles really are CE exclussive mate.

 

This is what i asked and the answer:

 

Subject: Hotknife & CarbonRS obtainable on the normal edition?

 

Will these vehicles also be obtainable in the normal edition of the game?

Note that they say currently, not that the only way ever to get them.

 

OT: They do look like quite nice vehicles, but I'm not willing to pay £100 just for some extra cars and multiplayer characters (I'd never use the other merchandise). I'm getting the SE along with the Strategy Guide, so that's already £80, which is pretty much the maximum I'd pay.

Something about the KHAMELION:

strange is that R* says, that the Khamilion electric car is obtainable during multiplayer... they neither confirm nor deny it, if this electric car is ONLY obtainable in multiplayer or not...

 

but strangely there are 3 Screenshots where you can see Michael drive the Khamilion...

so these are definately screens recorded in singleplayer... maybe that means the Khamilion is stored in the garage while multiplayer, but obtainable on streets or unlockable during progression in singleplayer...

 

and why would they show this exact car in 3 screenshots, if it would be exclusive for the collectors edition???

because common sense says, that released screenshots will depict ONLY things of the standard game... they would NEVER depict EXCLUSIVE CONTENT in REGULAR SCREENSHOTS (without mention it)
