NEXT UP IN GTA ONLINE: SMUGGLER’S RUN – WATCH THE TRAILER

[Ribsey]

Just here to post my thoughts that this will be another gunrunning-esque update with ridiculous paywalls, weapon limitations and dripfeeding. The usual unethical swindle-that-isn't!

 

If it turns out to be the opposite, I'll be happy. Seeing GTA's and Rockstar's reputation plummet has been heartbreaking.

I'm just hoping against hope that they don't pull the same nonsense as Gunrunning, and let you buy the vehicles... ...but without being able to do even basic customisation (hope you like your APC in flat beige... ) without owning the new hangar property first.

I totally get that they're trying to improve on the limitations of Pegasus - but doing so behind paywalls is just so very, very tiresome. And yeah, paywalls - because if the only reason you're spending money on a property or function is to remove the obstacle between you and the thing you actually want, then that's exactly what they are.

 

I mean, I'd love to get the new probably-Ruster-but-maybe-not fighter plane - particularly if they offer this iconic look for it:

 

 

...but as it is, I suspect I probably won't be able to buy it at all - and this'll be yet another bust for me, as far as updates go.

Can't go wrong with the Red Tails look. Will be fun trying to recreate some of the scenes from the 2012 film. Doesn't look like there's an aircraft resembling a Me 262 unfortunately.

I've gotten to see two in my lifetime and it is one of the most impressive planes of the 20th century in my opinion.

 

Here's hoping we can put that mottled green Luftwaffe pattern on the Komet.

[Commander S]

I just hope that:

- we can ideally buy them like regular Pegasus vehicles - particularly if we can pick the stock look for it (like the Marshall/Swift variants)

 

- if we can't choose the colour, the stock colour isn't utter bobbins...

[CosmicBuffalo]

The new jet looks like it has a cannon.

What are the chances of getting a slighty tweak on airplanes?

 

 

I don't know if i'm alone with this, but i think the "turbulence" effect on this game is fcking awful...

It should be removed. It's not even realistic. Everything acts like it's in the middle of a storm all the time, even in a clear and sunny day.

 

It should only activate during rain.

Have you ever flown a small plane? That's what it's like everytime you hit a thermal off a hill or skyscraper.

[Pedinhuh]

What silly snipers don't realize is that these new planes will have armor options I'm willing to bet. So go ahead and waste your expensive ammo, our armor will provide enough protection for any decently competent pilot to gun/blast/bomb your asses

As long as the Hydra and the Lazer do not get armor upgrades, all fine by me, I don't really touch other's helicopters unprovoked.

 

But knowing R* they will add armor upgrades to the Jets because R* logic.

You'll most probably need to get the hangar if you wish to do any customizations on the planes

OMFG VTOL GTFO

 

Oh for f*ck sake, like a flying bike wasn't enoughI don't mind this...

However, I DO mind the flying bike.

 

The Opressor can have missiles, can be (re)spawned near you in no-time with no cooldown...

This is just some crazy vtol-aircraft that can land on water.

(I don't think it will have insurance either).

Considering the endings of SP, I guess it's safe to say that R* won't mention Trevor or Michael at all, in a way to preserve the player's choice of ending, instead of bringing him in and taking one of the endings as canon.

 

They did the same with IV

Have defensive flares been confirmed yet? I can't tell from that newer image if the blue light behind the plane is just glare or actual flares.

^^ At one point Agent 14 mentioned it being 2017.

They've been confirmed for the Hunter and that plane looks like it's just a smoke screen.

 

Can't really say much else for any other vehicle until they release more pictures/information or the actual update drop.

In one of the Bunker Supply, or Sale missions, he mentions it being 2017

[DarkFlame588]

GTA Online is just its own universe separate from the story at this point.

Okay, I guess I missed that. Makes sense that we wouldn't see Trevor or Michael anymore then. I didn't choose to kill either of them... what happens if you do? I wouldn't say that it's a separate universe entirely. Online seems to be slowly taking on a story of its own, written by the consumers though.

Yes, you're correct. But still, there is no need for this in GTA. In fact, this was the first GTA to add such effect.

 

I guess they were trying to get a more realistic aspect, but the true is that turbulence effect is just annoying. Flying is GTA V just boring and not fun at all (for both helicopters and planes).

 

Very opposite to GTA SA, where you get a much smooth flying...

[Bitch With a Gun]

Uh huh.

 

And to usher it in, they ripped off countless of us of legitimate mission money by the millions.

Yawn.
