Should these drawbridges be functional in the PC version?

Do you think that Rockstar should be able to make these two bridges in the picture above functional?

 

Back in III or LCS, there was a drawbridge that was functional and would raise occasionally, so do you think that the PC version would make this small feature a comeback?

Why? WHY? Have you guys completely ran out of things to discuss about the PC version that you are now discussing bridges within the PC version? This is the new bottom for pointless threads. Posting in pointless thread.

Pretty sure all boats can fit under those bridges, there would be no point in them lifting. It would also be dumb if it occasionally lifted for no reason like the bridge in III, there wasn't even any boat traffic in III.

Bigass container ships can't fit under that bridge.

 

 

But yeah, it makes no sense to lift a bridge that doesn't have any boat traffic going under it.

That aren't drawbridges, that are vertical-lift bridges.

Would be a lovely sight - stupid AI drivers will drive into the river, like lemmings. And yes, it will be fun messing around with it.

That's the reason they didn't enable them in the first place :D:p

That is what I loved about the Shoreside Vale Lift Bridge. Lightly tap an NPC vehicle, and watch them kamikaze into the water. :lol:

Well if Rockstar wanted to make them functional then AI would be a bit changed so they dont do those actions xD.

Kind of scraping the barrel for topics here aren't we? As someone said earlier, technically they are lift bridges, not drawbridges.

 

It would be kind of pointless for them to lift as the huge container ships are static. It would also require ai tweaks to both the traffic and trains as one of those bridges is for the railroad. A few races also cross these, it would be kind of annoying for all the racers to have to stop and wait. Remember the Shoreside Vale lift bridge in III? You could end up failing missions because the damn thing decided to raise.

 

If you need a 'realistic' explanation of why they don't open: It's also questionable whether these bridges are still in use. Many of these bridges no longer lift IRL, or if they do it is very rarely for special occasions. Usually due to their age and operating/maintenance costs, plus reduced shipping traffic. It's possible for all the active docks in The Port of LS to be accessed by ships without passing under these bridges and the newer container yard was obviously built far later than these bridges and would have taken most of the larger ships away from the older docks, so it is likely they are now out of use. Plus the railroad one looks in need of repair.

 

Slightly off topic: In Watch Dogs I hated how some of the large ships and lift/draw bridges were in locations which made no sense. They had huge ships in locations wher they couldn't possibly get out into open water, due to narrow canals with tight bends or low fixed bridges blocking the river. At least the layout of the docks in av makes sense.

Makes it even easier, as it is just changing the coordinates of the streets (besides some side effects, like the sound of the mechanics etc.).
