Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

[DoctahWong]

I noticed today that the tint of the headlights slightly change when you are choosing window tints. Most noticeable with the Penumbra.

Some more R* humor:

[999bats]

 

this is cool, when driving in first person/hood view you can hear your character change gear. the only problem is that in some cars the shifting sound is out of time with the sound of the gear stick

 

That's odd considering most cars in America are automatic...

 

I swear to god I could hear it. maybe I was tripping out

500k apartment in ET doesn't have a map on the wall in the planning room.

I could be wrong but I don't think that's the only one...I think they're all gone for whatever reason...it was around the time we were expecting hiests (spring) that in think they vanished.

 

 

I've got another apartment in ET, which was as far as I remember 382k and there's a map in that one.

Have you checked recently because I remember not seeing one in my apartment.

 

Edit: Just realised I could have been looking in the new apartments from high life update... Maybe they don't have them...not going to be online until later

Apt 3 - 500k

 

 

Apt 40 - 382k (not sure about the price)

 

[dewtech]

Think thats just as its the new Apartment, the old one still has a map in

[Cuz05]

Something somebody tipped me off to not long ago and don't remember seeing in here.

Pressing triangle (PS3) on the vehicle selection screen before a race shows you what the other players have picked.

Quite interesting.

Actually that will depend on which car you're driving, I know the Elegy, Zion(both variants), Sentinel XS, Warrener does that clicking sound when shifting gears.

Some other cars doesn't reproduce that sound aswell like most of the supercars, Carbonizarre, Coquette and some others high end sports cars.

 

My best guess is that we will have the stick-shifting animation on only some cars in next-gen consoles, which makes more sense since most of american drivers really don't like(or don't know) how handle a stick-shift transmission, which makes most of the cars made in there automatic.

Not to blow all your minds at once, but as far as I remember you can glitch into that mineshaft.

Yeah I got through door using the content creator unfortunately the passage way is about 6ft long

[zapotist]

 

 

 

 

This mine shaft......

Jet Pack Location

Anyone know it's location

 

After doing some NSA style digging, it's here;

 

Good work

unfortunately just used content creator got through door but passage only few feet deep

 

thats one of the mine shafts, found one more in sandy shores and looking for others.

[malcolmfunktion]

^^I was wondering about that...thought the location was a bit off from what I remembered...didn't know there was two.

This is great, didn't know this at all but wanted to know...I think I wanted to choose what to drive based off what other had picked but I presume you can only use this feature when everyone has chosen including myself.

[KristoLewis]

Only yesterday found out that when you go to interaction menu and choose an action, pressing X twice causes your character to do it all...fancy.

Also works with L3 and R3

[xInfamousRYANx]

More on Manson's house, please. Approx location would be great.

Go up the road that goes near that lake in vinewood hills.

On the wall you should see 1807 and an arrow pointing left follow that road and its the first house on the street right near the bottom of the lake

Haha..."all...fancy". This is only a recent feature. 1.12/1.13 or there abouts I think. The only crap thing about it is being left so vulnerable until your character finishes...I had a guy walk towards me with a knife and stab me while I was trying to snap out of looking ridiculous haha

[siriochan]

I noticed yesterday that the ankle joint when wearing high heel boots and riding a motorcycle is all wrong: it is a little higher than the actual ankle, so when the foot is on the pedal, it appears far way longer and creepier

[UP9390]

The ''secret'' bunker In the airport somewhere. Look it up.

 

There's two bunkers.

[RichyBeats]

Around the game map there are lots of various tags but one thing to note is when there is a different shade of wall colour it isn't by accident it is to depict when the authorities "buff" a wall and remove the tag.

You can only see what others have chosen in the vehicle selection menu, when you hit confirm it cant be accessed again.

[marco-polo]

Didn't realise you had to confirm a bet, on the PS3 there's no coloured letter that stands out like on the 360 so i never really took much notice.

Oh well.

[cityspud]

You can put away a sticky bomb that you are about to throw if you perform a quick action in car.

 

As a passenger anyway.

Nope, it's been like it since launch IIRC. They add new gestures but you've always been able to do three things;

 

Press once

Press and hold

Double click

[UP9390]

 

 

Cops don't run from my tank. I would high tail the f*** outta there. AND they purposely run under my tank so their cars explode and deal damage to me.

 

Haha yes I also love how tanks don't flatten cars like they should, like the tanks in Saints Row.

 

Id rather have tanks flatten cars instead on blow them up.

 

 

 

 

 

I just found this out.

When driving the undercover buffalo (from hack and dash mission) when you have your siren on you can change the sound while pressing down on R3, there are two different sounds you can make.

I havn't read all 14 pages but in 23 days playtime its the first time I've noticed this.

you kidding me right? Lol try the ambulance, sounds pretty dope when you press down R3

 

read it again

too lazy

 

Laziness and stupidity goes hand in hand.you dont have to be a jerk about it

 

the multiple sirens were available since GTA III (2001). someone's a bit late

 

 

Only two Siren tones until IV. IV gave us the third siren tone and the Electric Air Horn.
