I wouldn't think the Manchez would upgrade to any of the existing arena war styles. Isn't there an unused trials/motocross course? Wasn't the Manchez the bike used for the trials event at the arena in Vice City? I'd think if it was upgraded, it would have some trials and motocross body/parts options and some new liveries.

You're talking about Dirtring, there was also a similar trial in GTA:SA called Kickstart.

 

 

 

BTW, the Manchez only appearance in the GTA series before returning in GTAO was in Liberty City Stories.

If something similar to last year's filler being hotring races are likely, I would love to see a go-karts and F1 cars arrive with tracks.

 

And Bloodring/San Andreas arena type stuff mentioned above too.

Added more. :)

Oh my God can y'all stop with the futuristic sh*t. It's getting ridiculous I get why some people hate it now I really do.

These new flags are definitely a step in the right direction, the new cars (specially the Vamos) are very capable of controlled slides. Keyboard players seem to be the ones complaining the most, thankfully they are a minority (because who tries to drive with a keyboard?). Handling with the new flags is just too complex for keyboard inputs, you definitely need a controller.

I always use keyboard since i find driving with it much easier than a controller (which I struggle with), and I love the Vamos' bounciness, she's wonderful.

Weaponized and futuristic bulls#*t sells Sharkcards unfortunately.

 

Don't forget most of these kids weren't even born when GTA 3 and Vice City were released even GTA San Andreas come to think of it.

Don't forget a ZR380 Classic or ZR 350. I'd like to see that RX-7 back, most preferably the Veilside one.

You sir, just went full retard. Did you even bother re-reading your comments? The problem doesn't lie with the handling flag concepts, but with the wrong handling flag. In the case if Vamos, it has bouncy handling and tends to flip off during high speed turning.
If they attempted GTA-IV styled handling with those flags then it would have been acceptable.

"minority" pfft

lmao at people that actually believe it's wrong tho, as if it was a mistake, it's not. The Vamos handles exactly as intended and it's not going to change, sorry/not sorry. And I don't want to get too off topic replying to this, but a keyboard only has buttons (on/off) whereas a controller has sticks and triggers that have action similar to a steering wheel and gas/brake pedals... idk how this is even a discussion. And yes keyboard players are a minority overall, this game is on two consoles with an overwhelming majority using a controller, and I've yet to meet anyone on PC not using a controller that could drive or fly worth a spit. Any shooter or other game I play, I use mouse and keyboard, GTA or any driving game is going to be better with a controller no contest.

I still think their experimentation with stealth aircraft and their need for people to spend $100 on shark cards will culminate in a stealth fighter that puts the Hydra and Laser (and everything else flying) to shame. Ironically the Oppressor, being a tiny target with super missiles, might be the only counter to such a thing.

UFO's man... we will get them... probably as the final GTA Online DLC.

Absolutely, i have already used keyboard to drive and sucks, you cant have any throttle control and the steering consists of tapping fast enough to look like a continuous movement.

I like all the futuristic stuff tbh and I'm a '93 kid, well, was  I mean, GTA also has to move with times. However, I think they jumped ahead too much, like, waaaay to much. Not a bother to me though. F*ck it, I wouldn't mind if it were 2078

 

It does kinda piss me off though, that a game "that was" catered towards adults/late teens has essentially evolved into... well, whatever the f*ck it is

I honestly expect more racing themed updates - but I have a hunch the street racing crowd is gonna get their back scratched soon enough.

 

Here’s hoping!

I still think they should get rid of the broomstick and refund people. I just see how many people mock the game, don't want to play it anymore, etc. thanks to it, and it's hard to think of a lot of good reasons it should stay. It's so ugly and retarded too.

Won’t happen, but I agree. I used to complain about the military junk, but I’ve grown fond of it. There’s so many options and niches to fill. Frankly, there would be a lot better balance in the game if there were no meme-vehicles and a lot more military equipment. 

 

There would be so much diversity and so many options, too. Think of all the sales they could be making off people that don’t know if they should buy the Nightshark or the Insurgent, maybe get the custom version too. Why not buy that shiny new Lazer while they’re competing against Hydras?

 

Sure, EVERYONE has to buy a Mk.II, but in a game of Rock Paper Scissors, there’s three potential winners. Why not buy them all? Which sounds more profitable: one mandatory vehicle or 50 that you have to buy for different situations?

 

That said, we can’t stop at the Mk.II. You literally have to reverse the entire cycle leading up to the Mk.II because Rockstar prefers to just make a new, more powerful vehicle rather than rebalancing the old game-breakers. Didn’t expect to write an essay, but this really got me thinking for no reason.

It can change. Saying it can't is malicious and misinformative. That's what a reactive audience is for - to speak out their opinions and to bring change - and Rockstar does listen. The flags have changed between SSASSS and Arena War and can change moving forwards, so it's silly to say things aren't going to change. On your second topic - the keyboard/PC vs. controller/console issue - there's over 10 million people playing this game on PC. Sure, that looks like a small number compared to the PS4's player count (somewhere upwards of 100 million in some estimates), but it is realistically a lot of players. Ones who might not be interested in using a controller for any number of reasons, and certainly not something as petty as the way a few new cars handle. I think it was a mistake on the part of Rockstar's understanding of their player base (and therein lies the negligence), rather than anything to do with the flags. It is their game, after all - they could make the cars handle however they wanted without inconveniencing quirks - but it was just "good enough". Which is never good enough, and has caused needless conflict and dissatisfaction in the community, far beyond just crippling some otherwise popular vehicular additions to the game.

It's crazy that there's no better solutions for speed controls built into this game. There's little to be done about steering (which can be unresponsive on controllers thanks to deadzones, and is irritatingly twitchy on keyboards), but gosh, for speed? The original Saints Row, back in 2006, had cruise control, and Mafia, from 2002, had a speed limiter feature. It blows my mind that Rockstar wouldn't implement such quality features for what amounts to the largest time sink in this game - driving. Heck, the airplanes will continue flying without input, why couldn't the cars have that as an option?

 

The best I could hope for coming out of Rockstar's toying with handling (and adding wheelies!) is that we are looking at a near-future car-focused update. Races, better customization (which, too, has been creeping in), and a whole host of fan-requested additions to the game's roster. We still lack such icons as the classic Volkswagen Beetle, Trabant 601, Land Rover, 1959 Cadillac, Mazda RX-7, and so many others. It's crazy in a game as popular (and car heavy) as GTA, especially when compared to the likes of Forza Horizon 4's selection, how little there is.

Yeah, but alot of us have been playing since 1998. Alot of us played GTA 2 as well. Alot of folks who complain about the series identity started with GTA III, and they started playing it before they understood the difference between crime parody and crime simulator. It's a pretty mixed bag of tastes

Pfft indeed, the only place I've ever seen anybody who appreciates the flags are a few here and there on our forum.

Back then i used to skip classes when i'm at 3rd grade, and just blast the VC with my friends in some shady rentals combining our money to get 2 hours of playtime trying to complete the rc helicopter missions over and over again, until we complete it, in an hour-ish lol

 

What makes gta vc memorable is the vibe and songs imo, the songs are all great, broken wings, self control, gold, kids in america, sunglasses at night and many more, also the 80s vibes, neon lights, fancy outfits scarface refrence etc

 

i remember saving some of my allowance in a month just to buy that GTAVC soundtrack casette so i can listen to it while studying back then when i'm a 3rd grader lol, ah memories....

 

Here's hoping the next GTA would be set on VC

I was 22 when Vice City came out and deployed in Afghanistan my mom sent it over for me and a couple of buddies. I remember playing the original GTA when it came out makes me feel old thinking about it.

Was about 17/18 when my GTA adventures started with the top down game's, lol.

 

Never did I think we'd be here now with the game we have today. Amazing really, even with all its faults. It does make me wonder where it all will be going in future with how good/big consoles and computers grow.

 

I'd love a GTA world. Every city and more.

I seriously doubt that the next main theme will be just Arena Wars part 2. People are already sick of it and doing the same thing two times in a row doesn't rly make sense. They need something new and fresh to bring people back.

But new AR modes will probably take the place of Adversary Modes and they will add couple new AR vehicles as dripfeed. 

So the main theme - mystery
dripfeed content - leftovers from AR

So I saw the Tweet that Fun made about discovering more cut vehicles from Arena Wars, and I gotta say... it sucks we didn't get those vehicles he mentioned. I like the Death Race references, and also making cars that remind me of the Full Auto games. Oh well.
