d3ex2 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 The whole attraction is that it's a motherf*cking blimp. We haven't had anything like it before in a GTA game. You can fly it around as well. There might be some Easter eggs in it but I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travís. Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 everyone thinks it will be fun to fly, but I reckon it would be one of the most boring things to control in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuer Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I hope that Rockstar actually do something with the blimp. Make it your safe-house where you can save and fast travel, and then jump out with a parachute every time you load your game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kibbutz1 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Because for no extra effort/cost you can have an interesting new vehicle that has never been in a GTA before? You need more reasons to care than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSN-Blackhawk_1989 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 It comes with all pre-orders, I am pre-ordering and this "Balloon" just comes with the package. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanieljJ Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 It comes with all pre-orders, I am pre-ordering and this "Balloon" just comes with the package. lol So we get a blimp...cool. But your post got me thinking. What about a HOT AIR BALLOON! Could it be in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickenwing Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 How will it work in multiplayer I wonder. I guess it just most likely wont be flyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_p1980 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 The blimp looks boring, but I wonder how long it is until someone tries to recreate the Hindenburg disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kibbutz1 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 The blimp looks boring, but I wonder how long it is until someone tries to recreate the Hindenburg disaster. Probably within 5 mins of loading up the game. So.. at a conservative estimate, 12:30am on September 17th 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistedweather Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 1) in the Special Edition if it is readily available, the first thing I will do is leisurely explore Los Santos and surrounding areas 2)parachute from the blimp 3)own the blimp as a business= it could generate money like properties I imagine there is a "blimp" mission but after that Im at a loss if blimps are not your thing jus skip it....no harm no foul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.P.E Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I got a feeling we are all gonna love the blimp. Its certainly the 1st thing Im doing when i get the game, nice sloooow trip around whole map with Ifruit and doobs taking in the sights, hopefully its online so my m8 can pilot it whilst i snap some pics. You really not looking forward to chilling that far up and yeah like some1 mentioned, jumping from blimp gonna be sick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eutyphro Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 It has a secret stash of realistic steak. Yes, and this steak is so realistic that it will start to rot if you don't eat it early enough. And it's also so unbelievably realistic that when you enter the rotten steak blimp, your console will recreate the stench and send it into your room. What you guys also did not know is that the blimp is actually where CJ lives with all the GTA 3 era characters. They live there and feast on steak every day. Until your murder them all and fly the blimp yourself and feast on all their leftover steaks. CJ is actually Franklins father because he is black too and slightly older. These are the facts. Learn them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K20 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 i heard form a friend, who knows someone whos 4th cousin with someone in scotland whos sisters brother-in-laws 5th cousin works in rockstar, who said the blimp is basically a flying safe house. can save games in there, change clothes, lose wanted levels etc. and when a game is saved, the blimp is saved in the location where its moved to. its pretty cool.

Firebeast29 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Blimp is nice a DLC. But what I'm looking forward from that DLC of the 149 CE is the 1932 jackknife Hotrod car. I love hot rod cars. I can't wait to get that DLC and Drive and put it in my very own garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

im_stoned Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I hope we can buy it and hang out in it. Like a condo in the sky When you want to leave you have someone fly the VTOL to you and you fly away. Just like the car delivary system imagine that sh*t !!!

tom_p1980 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Silly question and I expect to be flamed for it but I assume it lands, otherwise how would you get in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eutyphro Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Silly question and I expect to be flamed for it but I assume it lands, otherwise how would you get in? With the jetpack. Or you could fly over it on a giant purple dildo (similar to Harry Potter on a broom) and then jump off and climb in. Or bigfoot could swing you into the air until you reach it and then climb into it. Those are the only 3 ways of entering it. R* emailed me this.

Argon Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 The only reason the blimp came to be pre order DLC Im sure is that Gamestop pressures publishers to have some sort of a pre order incentive for their stores so the blimp was the only thing Rockstar was willing to sacrifice as a pre order bonus. I don't believe it was originally flyable, only after the fans questioned it so much did they then think, make it flyable. But then it has to be added in, so DLC. Yeah because adding things before release makes it DLC, right? But yeah, this thing looks promising. I'm not really excited for the flying part, although it needs some weird physics that we haven't seen before. I can't believe that there are only a small amount of people who realise the awesomeness of crashing this thing. A blimp is pretty big, and trying to hoover it on street level can cause some pretty sweet chaos. I'm looking forward to pop the balloon into a tall building, or dragging the engine part across the street. Damn, now that I'm thinking about the physics and animations involved, it can only result in a dissapointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
