Cool Things You Didn't Know About: V Edition

[polaris23]

You can directly get into snapmatic mode by pressing up button twice. A shortcut for snaps!

We all know this already and it's NOT a cool thing.

It's not, believe me.

It's rather annoing because when you're trying to bring up the phone for something other than snapmatic it almost always goes to snapmatic due to double clicking up. And I can't speak for everyone but I tend to double click it because it takes so damn long for the phone to come up with the first click that I think it didn't register or something so I click again and into snapmatic it goes. not extremely annoying but it can be bothersome.

[SourceGod]

It's not that bad because maybe you need to take a picture super quickly because it is like half a second faster than bringing up the phone and THEN going into Snapmatic? BTW it's three clicks.

Am I the only one who doesn't have a problem with that?

 

Simply press up once and see if the phone will come up or not (believe me it DO register, its just lagging and that's in Online only) then stop for a second then press any direction EXCEPT up. I do this move all the time in Online and I have 0 problems with that.

Lol talking about such a little thing. GTA 5 is made up of tons of little

 

details isn't it?

I'm sure others knew this, but I just realized Michael has a painting of Raton Canyon in his house.

 

 

 

 

 

Im pretty sure that art is from earlier version of gta v because there are a lot of difference you should post that on beta hunt too

You can switch characters while the cougar bite you until the death screen appears, avoiding you from wasting money on hospital bills.

[ten-a-penny]

While stunting with a bike, if you release the left stick BEFORE you become upside down, you'll return back to normal without finishing the loop. But, if you did became upside down and released the left stick you will actually finish the loop/back flip automatically.

 

Had this game since exactly after 3 days of release and just discovered this right now in Online.

[TheDeaconBosco]

Lol never knew about the double push shortcut for snapmatic. Could have come in handy in the past.

Same with the shark. I found this on my second day in the game. I think everyone should know about it by now.

This feature hasn't been around for long; it was added in a recent update. Edited September 28, 2014 by thehambone

I just noticed you can shoot out the lights in the traffic lights.

[SourceGod]

@above yeah but that doesn't cause any car accidents. They act the same

[chainsoar]

There's a sh*tload of dead fish on the shores of the Alamo Sea! Creeped me the hell out when I discovered this last night.

But what happens when you return to the attacked character? He will still be swimming but the shark would despawn.

The in-game phone's bezel (in this case, Michael's phone) responds to how light shines to it. Depending on which way Michael is to the light source.

 

Pretty cool little detail.

Swats can do breach and clear and they killed me once with that. Its hard to explain what the animation looks like but i will record it if it happens again

The sound of the cars moving or revving in the background from a distance is the same sound as in Midnight Club LA.

[S1N0D3UTSCHT3K]

this might sound weird but I think I just realized that there's an obscure quote to Goldman Sachs bank.

 

ok, so we all know Schlongberg Sachs name is based on Goldman Sachs

 

well, when you do Nervous Ron mission and begin to fly, there are actually 2 totally unique conversations. The first is about Trevor smuggling to Canada but the other is based on the stock market, and Trevor talks about 'quarterly reports'

 

During this conversation, obviously based on what a CEO of TPI would say and about stocks, Ron says "It's important work you're doing, God knows. I am blessed to be a part of it."

 

I think this is based on the Goldman Sachs CEO famous quote where he says he is doing God's work. I think because the similarities of them both being CEOs, the numerous other Goldman Sachs references in the game, and especially because both statements were made in regards to 'quarterly reports' and 'stock performance' and then described their work as work God would know of and this is important...

 

based on JUST the sentences... maybe coincidence... but when you consider the context of both statements made during stock quarterly reports, talking about stop performance, the CEO defending and describing his work and stock performance... and also the other $GS references in GTA... I think it becomes more likely to be a purposeful reference, however very obscure haha

 

maybe not... just trying my best to find new stuff for this thread

 

 

 

p.s. i heard a new Trevor insult yesterday lol he said something like "is it true you guys share girls? ....cuz that's weird" or something i dunno why i never hear that before I think I was 'fingering' a Balla while driving

[shortyg]

Not sure where to post about glitches, but I'm currently watching someone else play, and he's Franklin, crouched under the highway sniping cars and they're falling under the map as he shoots them!

[CanOdope]

@shortyg The best place to post glitches would probably be in the Glitches & Tricks thread.

The Monroe have a step tire on the trunk, the trunk is on it front, on the hood. I was using the car from the mission pack man, so i don't know if that car is customized... But the step tire wasn't fitting with the other 4 tires.

 

I don't have a pic now. But it's easy to check.

[S1N0D3UTSCHT3K]

^I like when the hood opens, the unique under the hood art is cool

 

 

another random detail, I like how if you pick up M or F as T with a cop car during Hangout, they joke about it
