Mile High Club

I'm a little bored at the moment and I am looking through the screens and trailers and I am still wondering what will happen to that building:

 

 

I hope it's a growing construction site that keeps growing during gameplay. What's your opinion?

[Polish_Trucker]

It will most likely be constructed throughout the story, like on the internet in IV, newspapers would be up-to-date with the progress of the player..

[œaœa]

They showed us that building for a reason.

[kesta195]

You can see it in varying stages of completion.

[Kiffster]

Constructed throughout the game.

 

Maybe Michael is the owner and that's one of the reasons for the heists, to get more money to complete it...

I checked the 1st trailer and then in Trevor's trailer you see THE EXACT SAME THING. No construction happening there at all. It will remain unfinished IMO

Yeah, this was discussed, but most of the discussions ended like "ya, we cannot be sure… maybe bla bla bla" so I'm still not sure about that but I hope it will be more "alive" and interactive then the construction sites in IV…

It would be a nice feature to show the progression of the story. A bit like in GTA LCS where the bridge gets most of the road installed after you unlock the second island and I think one of the clubs gets transformed to Lugi's as well. You also leave your mark by taking out a quarter of the city!

 

It's nice to see you leave a permanent mark on the cities. I would love to see a basic return of the VCS empire system returning where you could buy wasteland to build businesses and garages instead of just buying them.

 

Then again, isn't the whole recession a part of the game's theme. The building could represent the property boom coming to a complete hault.

 

Either way, I can definitely see a mission taking place on the top floors.

You shouldn't just go by 2 trailers, some of the screenshots show it at the absolute basic stage, whereas others make it look as thought it is almost completed.

After seeing a James Bond movie a couple of days ago I would love to see a shootout, while balancing on the steel beams, jumping from a crane to a beam, then to another and shooting some guys down… sounds good to me!

Are you sure? Can you give me a link to a thread / the screens in comparison?

I've found some threads but there was no proof at all… some people thought that some windows were missing in one screen that appeared in another, but after all it was just different sides of the building…

Maybe the screens are from different parts of the story?

[TheKrigeron]

I'm surprised this about this poll, I think it would be nice if it builds while the story advances and in the end we will rob it

[Maglev]

I hope it's Yusuf Amir who is building it.

[zombie elvis]

The actual tower will be built at the beginning, but they're finishing off the insides/windows through the game, I think.

[lambo3500]

Maybe we build it with the money we acquire and make an empire

[ChillyPhilly]

 

Hard to tell. Colours have definitely been enhanced throughout development, though.

[Fisha695]

Personally I hope it & the other various construction projects get finished over time (and maybe new ones open-up). That was one of the things I disliked a bit about IV, you could be a year into the game and there is still that same crappy road construction taking up space.

[Znd]

I think it will play an important role in the game. I think one of the protagonists, or maybe all 3, will own it.

 

It will be the crown jewel of all the properties you buy.

 

And what would be really, really awesome, is if once it gets completed, there's a really nice penthouse with

great views in it, that you get to use as a safehouse.

 

I always thought it was dumb that they didn't do a proper penthouse in IV. Playboy X's place was kind of like it but not really.

I'm talking about something high up in a skyscraper, with huge windows that you can see the city lights out of.

Just being able to look out of windows is great. I don't know why that's so hard for some games to do.

[GourangaMaster]

I think it will stay the same, Im yet to see a comparison that convinces me otherwise. The only diffrences i see are maybe lighting,colour and texture changes and that is most likely due to different builds.

@kesta That looks like a loading/pop in issue to me.

[DJ Vejeejee]

its going to be a mile high of course!!

 

 

so it will grow like vinewood tits baby yeahhhh

 

 

 

[bluAstrid]

I really, really, REALLY want Los Santos to dynamically change throughout the story

[IvelLeCog]

I hope it's Yusuf Amir who is building it.

That is an amazing idea! From the whole IV universe, i reckon TboGT could provide the most realistic bridge with V as the end of the story presented somewhat of a new direction for Luis, Tony and Yusef. I think we'll hear about them in some way or another, ie: internet, radio ad, etc

 

 

[groveSTREETfamily4LIFE]

I think it will stay the same. I think it's just there to give construction worker npc's something to do. They said the A.I is more like Oblivion and Skyrim, like you can follow people throughout their day and watch them work and catch the bus home and stuff.

[poklane]

Hopefully it's one of the properties we can buy, invest money into it and make a profit.
