The Blimp :l

To be honest I care more about the blimp than I do about the SE & CE digital stuff. The bonus clothes & tatoos do come close, though.

How will it work in multiplayer I wonder. I guess it just most likely wont be flyable.

How did you come to such a conclusion?

Well what if one person did pre-order and the other person didn't is exclusive to them in Multiplayer too?

Silly question and I expect to be flamed for it but I assume it lands, otherwise how would you get in?

Watch this video:

 

 

That's why they added 3 protagonists, as it takes a couple of guys to lift it up.

It would be awesome if the blimp was actually a mobile safehouse.

 

I would also love if we could toss things from it to the crowd below.

if the Blimp was a safehouse, i would literally never walk into a house at all in this game.

whats in this blimp??? is their a luxury first class condo in it???? some sort of high class Lounge area??? does it have a snack bar???? a big screen tv???? does it have lasers or high powered lights??? can you SAVE GAME and reboot and be inside the blimp??? can you change clothes in it????

 

in other words, WHATS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS BLIMP????

I imagine it will feel like the hang glider in Far Cry 3...soaring across the map and giving a glorious perspective of the

landscape, quite relaxing....just hope you can snipe from it.

The blimp is without question the biggest driveable vehicle in the GTA-verse ever, possibly even the biggest ever in a open-world game. It's actually a pretty big deal. Like the others have said too, it may function as a mobile safehouse, which would be awesome.

 

Just imagine a luxery blimp that had a save point, a TV and an armory. That would be an incretible way to spend, say, five million dollars since us GTA fans are always bitching about something cool to blow money on biggrin.gif

This. I want to be able to fly an aircraft (any aircraft) and press Triangle to disengage from the pilot seat (without jumping out) and be able to shoot any weapon. Plus in FarCry 3 I mostly used the hang glider for getting around faster since I didn't want to use fast travel. In GTAV there will be jets so the blimp will be a leisurely way to roam the city from above.

 

It's funny how all of a sudden people aren't happy about being able to pilot the blimp (all it takes is a pre-order, no SE or CE) but when we all saw the first trailer, we all wanted to know whether or not the blimp would be fly able.

Kill Frenzy!

I don't know what's inside but if there is nothing why should I fly the Blimp? Fly it one or two times and it will get bored because there's nothing special on it and it's damn slow, so it doesn't make sence, I'd say there is something more on that blimp than just flyable. We've to found out when the game is released.

That aside, it's a blimp. They can get you very high into the air and perfect to sail across a city or countryside just enjoying your view. Inside of a blimp could be a number of things. There could be a bunch of seats, or there could be a partying area. And having it as a save spot would be epic. A f*cking safehouse in the sky! Next timeyou turn on your game, it loads with you in a blimp. Jump out of that sh*t and parachute back into the streets of Los Santos!

You can fly it. biggrin.gif I would personally want to use the files from it and mod it to replace the blimp in vice city.

I dunno about anyone else but I had a huge smile on my face when I found out it was flyable.

Only because when we all saw the first trailer everyone was wondering "what is the deal with the blimp?", and most people thought it was just there for decoration. It just seemed like a long shot back then that we get to fly it. Then rockstar made dreams come true again.

yes! it would be cake to take on a mission, hover far above it and snipe the guards =]

 

if the blimp were a safehouse, i'd hope it can't be shot down, but that could make for some cheesey gameplay right out of the box if you could also fire from it.

I wonder if you can put the Blimp on some sort of auto-pilot mode, so if it doubles as a safehouse, every time you load the game up you're hovering over a different place on the map! Could make things interesting just to jump out and see where you land, and to just stand at a viewing platform somewhere and watch the beautiful world go by. But also, would be great to let it sit still if you want a designated safehouse sitting there in a specific permanent location.

 

The Blimp will be SO much fun

Apparently none of you know sh*t about blimps/zeppelins, THERE WILL BE NO SAFEHOUSE IN IT only the control car under the body, inside the body is gas.

LOL fail. Apparently you don't know sh*t.

 

"Atomic" blimp, is seen by some as a reference to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindenburg_disaster

 

Which was a passenger airship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZ_129_Hindenburg

Yeah, we know. We're saying their could be a small safehouse in the control car, it's not implausible.

Who wouldn't want to escape the cops in a blimp? If it has deflating effects, that's just icing on the cake.

That's not true. Blimps can have a sh*t load of rooms in them. Ever hear of a luxury blimp that people use to sight-see or party?

Haha how did I know some idiot would try a ref at the lz129 hindenburg pal look at picture you can see the blimp is not as big as that zeppelin and the control car is far too small and it is not at all a safehouse, when gta v comes out your going to be the one that fails!

@LotusRIP

My point exactly. If someone wanted to, they could live in that sh*t. Not forever, though...

 

Just imagine what picking up chicks in a bar would be like.

Man: "So, want to head back to my place?"

Woman: "Sure. Where do you live?"

Man: "In a f*cking blimp!"

 

Automatic pick-up line. Bitches can't refuse that...

I'm looking at the blimp's official screenshot and it looks small, but doable to fit a save point in it.

 

But then again, he's making a dickish point. It's so small we probably shouldn't get our hopes up.

I never said it was. I just linked to a webpage that has photos of hindenburg and others for reference, to show that some airships do have interior.

"Airships: The Hindenburg and other Zeppelins

The Graf Zeppelin, Hindenburg, U.S. Navy Airships, and other Dirigibles

"

 

Here you go fa**ot.

OP, you shouldn't care, don't see why anyone's bothered about a blimp, will be a laugh every now and then. That's about it

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.

This.

This is funny forum, some people are so ungrateful, they will still be angry at "small map, not interesting activities,... etc"
