We Need New Cars... In Traffic

[FrozenInferno]

Rockstar likes to add a few new cars to the game with each update but they can only be bought on the websites, what we need is a handful of new cars that only spawn in traffic to get some more variety in the streets.

 

For every new car they add to the websites they should add another car to spawn-able traffic, doesn't have to be anything high end or crazy, set the spawn rates low so the cars are hard to find and let the players hunt them for themselves.

 

I like to collect rare cars and instead of making it interesting for collectors they add new ones to buy and even take former rare cars off the streets and making them buyable as well. How long before an update comes out and we can buy Sultan's, Hearst's, Phoenix's, etc?

 

Bring back the thrill of the hunt!

I like that they don't make all the cars purchasable. It gives me something to do, that is when the game isn't freezing every 5 minutes.

[KornbreadMaf1a]

Meh. Nothing is worst then spending hours looking for a car you want. To me there is no thrill of the hunt only the annoyance of the hunt. Personally I'd like it if every car was available to buy on the website because that way I wouldn't have to waste my time looking for a car and could do something fun instead. I don't care if a car I have is rare or if everybody owns it because if I own it it's because I like it.

 

Don't quote my post and say but this game is called Grand Theft Auto you should have to steal a car not buy a car because that argument is malarkey. The best car thieves in the world pay for their personal vehicles they don't steal them. You steal cars to joy ride, to sell overseas, or to chop for parts not to keep.

More trucks and vans please R* I thought this was supposed to be a functional city? or does no one eat, drink, buy products from shops or anything like that? Also why are the construction sites always devoid of any vehicles?

I like the idea of having more variety in the traffic, but I know for a fact that this will increase the lag online and therefore is not something that can be considered.

[Taylo]

Fo sho doe i agree, great idea!

My guess is that spawns are one of the more intensive parts of the game engine. Not only the AI, but keeping spawns consistent between multiple players in a huge session.

 

I'd love if they added some more variety in, but since this has been an issue in GTA games since GTA3, I'm not expecting it.

It does it in SP, only makes sense that it does it in MP

[FrozenInferno]

I'm not suggesting more cars in traffic in terms of quantity, just new cars in the mix to have some new ones to drive. It shouldn't affect how the game runs, just spawn a new car instead of the same old ones.

It would be nice but it's never gonna happen. I'm not a game dev but I believe they'd have to redo a lot of code to get the DLC cars to spawn in traffic. They probably think it's better for them to take the easy route, which is just making all the DLC cars available for free.

when did they bring the hearst to gtao?

If it's like in IV, it's not hard at all. They would just have to change some flags in a vehicle file and it should do the job.

Bring back the dukes, uranus, faction and fortune.

A few months back I believe. It spawns in 2 places with like a 1/1000 rate. If you have a friend with 1 that could drive by the spawn location the odds that one spawn increase to almost 100%

[Chinsei]

a car dealership would be nice o.o so you could actually 'see' the vehicle before you decided to get it <.< a picture from one angle o.o on the 'internet' kinda sucks as being the only way to get an idea of what it looks like short of finding a friend or something to show you so you can decide if you 'want' it or not. (would be nice if we could just buy some of the upgrades/addons directly as we pay for the car o.o instead of having to go all the way to LSC . i mean if i were to buy a car in the real world an i had the money i'd be more then able to tell them what options i want before its delivered.

Anyone notice the Update cars have indicator lights? What's the point? Only npcs can use them.....just thought I'd throw that in there

I guess that would be no problem because if you reduce the transfered data volume to a minimum you only need to transfer a few parameters like the positions of a player and his vehicle. The basic data (design) for all vehicles should be stored local on the systems of the users

[darkwar854]

We need new normal cars.

Wish it was like mafia 1. Holding the steering in one direction for too long turned on the blinker

It was always in there. NPC's never used them.

[PowerKracker]

I so agree with this.

One can only hope for a major update, but you can't expect much...

Maybe when they add some regular mundane cars they'll come to their senses that it doesn't make much sense for such ordinary cars to be exclusively available from websites, but can't count on that.

[GrandTheftBatman]

We need more storeable vehicles to go along with it.

Is it odd that my favourite vehicles from IV were the Faction and the Esperanto?

No, the esperanto was hella fun to drive.
