Snow for xmas?

Recommended Posts

I was hoping for a real snow cheat for the next-gen version of the game. Does anyone remember christmas day last year when Rockstar covered the entire map in snow? I WANT THAT IN SINGLE PLAYER!

 

I don't even care if it makes it so the story can't be continued until the cheat is turned off. It would be so much fun to drive around in a snowy world again!

 

I tried entering a lot of various words and phrases into the cell phone (with the 1-999- format) with no luck... I don't even know if there is a snow cheat anyway.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions of what to try? Can someone look through the game files and see if there are more cheats?

There's no cheat for that. Wait until Christmas if you want snow in GTA. Rockstar releases an update with all these "snowy" textures, and then releases another with the old textures to revert it. The textures arent hidded in game files, they just come in an update and go in another. That's it. No cheat can trigger it. Anyway the weather cheat enables an snowfall so, give it a try.

I think it's kind of stupid that they put all of that work into the map with the snow textures and then only let you use it for a day? Do they realize that a lot of people are busy on Christmas?

I think the same, but a lot of players are under 18 (17 here) so they arent busy at Christmas eve. Also it's rumored that the new Snow dlc will come from 16th to 23rd so it's not much stupid this time..

Here is the source, trust or not trust: http://www.product-reviews.net/2014/12/02/gta-v-christmas-dlc-update-with-snow-cops-and-crooks/

I'm sure they'll do it again. Hopefully the ground effects for the snow is better this time around. Some sweet parallax occlusion mapping on tire tracks and footprints would be nice.

Hopefully, I was at the in laws last xmas and missed that sh*t.

Good opportunity for some nice snapmatics.

I see no reason why we wouldn't. It was fun last year, but I think the CG could open some other opportunities.

 

I'm holding out for snow ball fights.

I found the snow is already set up in the last update files on the 360, so it looks highly likely for this season.

I think it would be nice if snow could build up, maybe have 3 stages of snow

 

1.... light dusting of snow, all litter and foliage visible

 

2... average snow... reduce amoutn of visible foliage, no litter, should cover peds feet and cars could have an option for snow chains on the wheels for handling

 

3... Deep snow, no visible foliage or litter, snow knee depth for peds, resevoirs and small lakes frozen, snow plough for larger vehicles (maybe the highways and downtown los santos could be permanently ploughed with piles of snow at the side of street)

 

and it would be great if it could melt away, so it would revert from stage 3 back to 2 then 1 and very wet then just very wet

 

Probably not even possible and id actually be happy with the same as last year..... the above would be cool tho

Wouldn't it essentially still be there since last Christmas? I mean it's not like they'd add the content in the patches, then remove it, then re-add it a couple months before Christmas.

 

But if this is how things work (sorta) then does this confirm no heists before Christmas?

According to files found in the PS4 assets there will be snow added BUT who know's maybe rockstar will change it so we can have the snow more than one day. Given the fact that ALOT of people were complaining about it being a 1day only thing they probably changed it for multiple days

Online players will continue to be catered to by R*.

 

Yes. You will have snow online as well as other bonuses.

Who cares? It only lasts for a day. It should be all winter, but no. Why do ALL of that work JUST for one day? And why isn't for single player too?

It would be literally nothing more, than one minute of changing codes... but knowing R*, it will still be only one day.

I missed it last year so I hope they do it again. And I'd love to see the snowball fights added like Fuzz said. Maybe some cool winter exclusive vehicles like skis or snowmobiles too. I know they could only be used for a short time, but it would be awesome to go sledding down Chiliad.
