westcoastOC Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Idk if it's already been brought up but I'm almost certain the way you'll enter GTA 5 online will be fast, smooth, and almost identical to switching between the 3 protagonists, when you switch to the 4th person on the character wheel, it will zoom out and find where you last were online, zoom in and BOOM, just like that, you're now in multiplayer. Dan Houser said they are getting closer to blurring the lines between single player and online, and that's exactly what this would be... you're playing as trevor, then all of the sudden you switch and you are in a car with 3 real friends. To me this would be beyond amazing. to be able to switch between the online world and single player world in an instant without any delay or difference between the 2 modes. Your thoughts? Again sorry if this has been brought up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paper Mario Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Maybe... Who really knows? But the empty slot in the character wheel sure is meant for something like that I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyVercetti Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 That would be sweet. Only thing I'm worried about is that I have butter fingers and tend to press the wrong button, so I'll be zooming in and out of multiplayer everytime I mean to switch singleplayer characters.

Skeloton Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Yeah I reckon that 4 slot is for MP but I also reckon it will lead to a menu so you can find the kind of game you are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightningun Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 In one of the early previews, they confirmed that you can indeed drop in and out of multiplier like switching characters. I think it was the GI article, not sure though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwitchBladeJones Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I could see it dropping you into Free Roam and allowing you to choose your game mode from your phone from there. I would expect some load time from single player to multiplayer. I just hope you don't sit in a game lobby for 20 minutes waiting for a game to start like GTAIV. It should be quick to match you up and dump a lot of rewards on you for the things you accomplish. I think if they do these two things it has a chance to beat COD as top multiplayer.

JOSEPH X Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 The switch to your online character might be instant, but don't be surprised if you have to go through a load screen to get from there to PvP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT THE BENZ Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 is that even possible from a technical point of view? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonRenemy Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I know this can't really happen in the same way, but anyone who has been following the stuff about Xbox One and it's "cloud" gaming, will know about the plans for Forza where your "guy" online still races against your friends and so on, when you're not actually online to play. This sort of idea would be kinda cool for GTA V, going with what the original post was touching on. Like your avatar goes around and your friends can invite you into a game but your guy is sort of AI controlled, but in a manner that suits your own playing style.... and then say your friends have you driving around with them, when you do the character switch into your multiplayer model, you're right bang in the middle of whatever action they're getting up to in free roam..... that'd be very cool indeed. and also seamless and fun no matter who's online. EDIT: I say it can't be possible and happen in the same way purely because PS3 and Xbox have different online structures and I don't think the PSN is going as "advanced" as XBLive is. However I suppose it would only need to be a slightly different take on this idea and not the full Forza style method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gta5freemode4eva Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I think it'll switch to mutliplayer friendly/normal free-roam and then from there we choose our main point of online interest like races, deathmatch etc or ofc we just chill in mp free-roam. If this free-roam is the continuous gta online world that I think it will be, then we can pick our races/deathmatch through the phone once we are online (and offline ofc) or from being near the start point of certain events kinda like RDR. So if there is a race that goes from Muscle Beach to the Lighthouse, then being within the start point radius at muscle beach the game would bring up an option to join or create an event. There are so many variables. Just seeing how it works is going to be great... and then ofc actually PLAYING it is going to be awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Theft Savage Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I doubt it will be a smooth transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
