Most realistic online experience

Something that came into my mind a while ago.

What would you say when all missions would actually have place in the lobby?There are some activities, like for instance car delivering, which can everybody interrupt and take the price for himself

 

The whole LS would literally live. You could pass someone delivering a car for Simeon , while escorting friend to the Madrazo. Another person could distract police or help another group of players fight back the Lost Gang (which could obviously ask someone for a help by messages)

 

The price for such experience would be probably mass douche interrupting etc, but would'nt be this great in a way?

there is always private sessions, but the emptyness kills the vibe and adrenaline. Also there is still an option of raporting annoying players.

 

And there would be heists where probably everyone would like to put their dirty hands on a pile of cash. Obviously players would'nt have known that there is a bank robbery excepot those who drive a police car and can hear the raports.

 

what do you think about this idea? I consider this as a perfect formula, but mayby I'm wrong.

They would have to redesign GTAO from scratch pretty much to be able to get this to work.

mayby, Im not saying that this should be implemented in a next patch, but rather in GTA O v2.0

Well that could be possible on next gen for GTA VI, but not for a long time.

In the meantime there's a MMOs and also a new game called the crew coming out which is similar to what you described, where the world is consistent and doesn't use instancing.

As great as that sounds they should fix the freezing and get dedicated servers to host sessions first.

Most likely not possible on the last version of consoles...

The game itself is realistic

well not that realistic since there are no missions in the lobby and either you shoot somebody, or pointlessly race. or doing mayheam. The whole idea of city as a living organism is to bring missions to the free roam.

 

The only problem here can be difference between such mechanics on next generation, and the oprevious one, where the mehcanics would be comparable obsolete. The ps3 owners would must stick to this crap. but is this a real problem? does anyone complain about simplicity of SA or even IV nowadays? Times goes by and everyone want to play the new, polished versions. So now it would be a primary objective to remodel whole online. I can wait for this a year or even two, but this must be done, this way or another, sticking to current sollution is not an option in my opinion.

Found the slow one!

 

Anyway, I totally agree with you OP, having everything take place in a open-world freeroam map would be very cool but I really doubt it's even possible. There are so many so many specific perequisites for your average instanced mission that would have to be loaded for every player in the session at once, even the ones not participating in the mission per say.

I thought it would be like that for tennis and golf before online came out but it would be super hard for them to get right for missions maybe next get gta online but it would be really hard because there would be so many factors to mess it up

I know it would be hard, but most MMO's works in such ways. Current missions are very simple, they consists of actors, carriable objects and vehicles. Everything could load constantly in the background. Maybe its a matter of cloud gaming and stabile avarage-fast internet connection.

Sir Michael

That would be crazy! Lol, I can imagine somebody doing Titan of a Job and a Jet troll just coming in and shooting them down. :p

 

That would probably require 32-64 player lobbies for that to become a reality. That sh*t would be beyond chaotic tho!

Yeah, that would be crazy as f--k! Anyways, such big airplane should be guarded by 2 armed buzzards ;) Besides, noone would know that you're delivering Titan. As I wrote above, sometimes your enemies could offer other players to take you down for $ but it should be balanced somehow. any ideas?

Ok, I ve just figured out how this should work.

 

The key here, is to having reputation system known from GTA 2, where the more you have done work for someone, the more they liked you. And vice versa.

 

Every action would give negatvie and positive respect points, but the trick to not to get those negative, closing way to special featrures from someone, is to wear disguise. This would trigger a message for others players with good reputation to get help and kill masked players.

 

And now you have the take the risk and play open cards with your opponents, and let the bar go negative, or to deal with other players.

 

 

I see that this isnt to most perfect way of execution this idea, but is all I have for now, anyone would like to add something/reinvent whole concept?

also please put this thread into concept's section. I think I made it when there was no concept subforum.

Your idea is great but the changes needed would take a long time and R* seems to have enough challenges with what is in place now. Also R* is way overdue with heists or even adding something like a couple of new Survivals.

 

Currently gang attacks, store robberies, crate drop,Simeon's list, armored trucks,and Lester's targets allow the entire lobby to share the experience together. With that full lobbies often lag ,glitch or freez. Adding contact missions would be great but how well would it all work if different missions were active at one time? The time of day could not be set like in some missions are now.

 

GTA 5 off and online is old and is what it is. In my opinion R* wasted time,money,and resources on Gta 5 for the new gen and pc. I would rather have a new,built from the ground up,GTA SIX. Certainly in hopes that much was learned from Gta 5 mistakes.

 

Gta 5 is game of the year 2013/14 imo, but it's time to move on to Gta 6.

well I manage to deliver over 50 cars for simeon, get more than 40 drop crates (which, 20% of them were special ones), attack dozens of armored trucks. And Im playing usualy alone with 15 random players.

my verdict is that You dont need any crew to play Online modes, and thats sad.

 

Besides, 3-4 active missions aint that much. Sure You'ld need stable internet connection, and bugless code, but its achievable.

The time goes by, so does games and the progress. Im not saying that it is needed right now. NO. For now, I want more cities to play the present recipe. And it will took respecitvely maybe few years to make that. After that Rockstar will have to change only the lobby code. few years are a lot of time for that.
