Online Animals

[NEEGOLAZ]

More likely than not they were excluded because of hardware limitations, but they make the world so much better. I know I'm not the only one who really wants animals in online, and I'd be willing to get rid of the 30 player count in freeroam for them

 

I mean, I really want to have a pet cougar

[terabaapkabaap]

PET COUGAR!!!? That sounds wayyy cooler than it actually is. Considering how animals were in SP, and how useless owned properties except vehicles and franklin's chop were, I don't think it will be worth anything listed. But won't hurt if it is added additionally.

Hardware Limitations on the X1/PS4

 

Really?

"because of hardware limitations"

Or rather because of Rockstar servers that are not even capable of supporting 30 players without lags on Next-gen consoles or to manage 64 players on the PC version.

[Dottie]

The biggest thing for NG limitations are the garbage servers

Fix those and they'll be good to go

[FourFingersOfFun]

It's not console limitations, it's network limitations. As has been explained 96837492 times on this forum yet these threads are still being made. Sigh.

[Shadowfennekin]

What would be the point? Animals don't even do anything.

 

If pictures are what you want, play SP

The reason you do not see PEDS online is because of the network limitations. This game is using a weak protocol so those with weaker services can play with everyone. This Peer2Peer service (P2P) can only handle so many entities at once, so pedestrians are handled instead of animals. I'd we add animals then we must remove peds.

 

In order to support both online, the protocol would have to be changed, killing some of the player base.

What would be the point?

To kill something different

Those aren't birds they are jets. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if ANIMALS ONLINE was a dlc of some sort. That's just me though.

[H8GodMode]

Their trolling us. Watch them put animals in online on PC.

[happygrowls]

The Glitch to spawn a shark pretty much sums up how animals will work Online, it's buggy the Shark only moves slowly.

The ocean would have a use.

[TarnishedGamer]

Main reason as stated above is pedestrians/cars etc would have to have a lower count. So why can't you have animals in the middle of nowhere in the mountains/fields? Why not have wildlife in the oceans?

Because they don't want to. Simple.

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

decreased number of players

i woud upgrade to ps4 just because of that

hell i dont need 30 player sessions, most players are dicks, i dont want to handle almost twice the amount of them

instead, let me kill some animals and let them kill me

[paperbagdude]

Mostly pedestrians really.

 

Noone will never notice 2 people exchanged for 2 deer.

[Ninety9Soulz]

It was "console limitations" before, now it's "server limitations". Even though they were able to magically double the player count in online sessions. The oceans are useless, the wilderness is barren. What was the point of making the majority of the map wilderness and ocean if it's just going to be void of life?

 

How about a closed friend session option that is limited to 4-6 players and with full wildlife.

[MajorVienna]

They should make it so you can choose to join a max 4 player and/or invite-only lobby that has wildlife, or just the regular lobbies. Wildlife would be off during missions still.

Will be modded on PC.

[EvilFiend]

Will be modded on PC.

implying online will be modded without setting off the servers anti cheat systems

 

-.-

 

Maybe but Im not holding my breath. I pray to RNGsus that ENB can run online though. considering GTA4 PC looks better than GTAV last gen imagine how good ENB will look /drool
