People's Expectations

GTAV to me seems like the ultimate game to finish all games. I keep thinking that you can do anything in this game. The list of features is staggering far more than IV had. For a long time now I have that feeling and anticipation for what will be possible when playing.

 

But I can't help but remember this is how I felt with IV. They cut out quite a lot of stuff that I expected and I was deeply saddened.

 

-climb telephone poles

-open car boots/hoods

-ped's have real conversations

-interiors heavily populated

-you can follow ped's from their home to work

 

Well I learnt my lesson.

 

But people here are making the same mistake. There's no way everything we've heard is gonna end up in he final cut. Some stuff is gonna go. A lot of people here need to lower their expectations. There's no way they will all be met.

 

I'm just wondering what are they gonna take out.

People's expectations

 

Are too damn high.

 

 

 

I notice they haven't dropped the roof on a car since trailer 1.

So that's one.

I hope they didn't take top dropping out.

 

I kind of wonder how you would activate it though. You've got the top dropping and you've nitro. We already know what a number of the buttons are going to do (assuming things are the same now as they were before) so I wonder how they're going to work.

I agree completely. Just look at the amount of stuff that gets cut before release.

 

GTA Cut Features

 

Thankfully the majority of it is still in the game files so PC users can mod them back into the game. Just like the car trunk feature. In LCPDFR you can open your trunk and grab a shotgun and some armor whenever you need it.

After IV I've learned to not expect too much, and expect lots of cut features.

 

Retractable roofs are probably gone.

Dynamic clothing fabric physics is definitely gone.

Pedestrian activity won't be as dynamic as most people expect.

The quantity of clothing, tattoo, and hair options will be very limited.

 

And I'm sure there will be plenty of other things that will leave some people disappointed.

 

 

My only expectation is that it will be better than IV.

They always change a bunch of stuff prior to release, and a lot of times journalists make features/info seem more colourful than they truly are. You need to read previews and notice the difference between what they're saying as fact and what they're speculating about. Unfortunately, a lot of the time people don't read previews, they only read bullet-point lists others have made, which may be misinterpreted.

Absolutly. Even without the bullet-point lists, when you read the reactions and interpretations of members here to any new previews that come out, people always read way too much into things that are said.

looks like they also took out the old police maverick and replaced it with a new one

as it appears in all the screen shot after trailer1

As someone else said, I expect it to be better than IV...which it will be. No disappointment here!

 

Plus I wouldn't use IV as a good reference point. It was Rockstar's first foray into open-world gaming on the current-gen system using RAGE and Euphoria. They have learned a lot since then and I have faith that there won't be too much cut (though I can see 'top-dropping' and 'flipping off' being cut, but we'll see)

As long as I get new missions, a new world, plentiful off roading, a mountain, and a bicycle....

 

 

I'm happy.

I won't be disappointed at the game but I reckon convertible roofs and flipping the finger will be gone

 

 

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

Noooo.

 

I really liked the idea of flipping people off.

 

Pull up to some Ballas. Drop the top. Extend the finger. Smile.

Remove the flipping finger for all I care. That always sounded stupid to me. They better NOT remove convertibles though. I will be so pissed off. They did it with IV. We've seen convertibles since the first trailer so there is no reason for them to take it out.

 

OP you are right. People are getting their expectations too high. Rockstar will remove some confirmed features from the finish release I'm sure of it.

They may be high, maybe too high - but Rockstar will suprise us with lots of things nonetheless! BELIEF IN ROCKSTAR

No, I'm pretty confident they won't. Rockstar once said they want to release 100% accurate information, including screens, trailers, etc. so stuff they showed us will definitely be in the game!

The reason IV cut so many things out is because they either didn't have time to work on them (considering the game was developed on a new engine for a new console generation, whereas SA was built on top of VC, which was also built on top of III) or they felt like it simply didn't fit with the realistic theme they were aiming for.

 

None of these issues will be present in V.

Never read that before, was interesting icon14.gif Most of the stuff they cut from IV sounded better than what was left in.

Let's hope not, those were to of the features I personally was very excited for. Being able to flip the bird and the situations that get's you in and of course: Working convertible roofs, this is a pretty major feature for them to just let out.

Well its you're own bloody fault. You sit there and moan about there not being buyable property and rpg elements, without being thankful to say the roof animations. So you can't really complain if they take that out for what the people said they wanted.

Just because we've seen it in action in trailers is no guarantee that it will be ingame. Like that action shot in one of the IV trailers where Niko is getting a AK-47 out of a trunk.

Trust me, I'm duly aware of this. But I feel like especially with adding car customization, excluding retractable rooftops would simple feel off and lacking.

Did you reply to the right post? All he said was that the convertible roofs would be a major feature to just remove from the game after being promised it.

I'm very concerned now the vision of V I've had in my head for a long time is not what we are going to get. I am radically scaling back my expectations as of today. Yes I will be getting the PC version since you can get mods so that dows make me feel a little better but still. We shouldn't have to add in the stuff Rockstar should add themselves! mad.gif

Yeah, just look at IV they cut out so many cool features: Countryside, second airport, realistic operating bus service, using limousine like taxi, fighter jet, Liberty State and fingerless gloves!

 

If they have had added this IV would have been such an enjoyable game.

I also fear that my high expectations will leave me a bit disappointed. I try to keep calm and not expect to much but it's pretty hard since I get so hyped every time some info / screens get released.

The recent Russian previews were brutally honest. If your expectations are high, they won't be after reading those articles
