The Dewbachee Manticore may not be the fastest steed in GTHO, but it's style and badness will make any 15 year old drool over their bowl of Cheetoh's.

I’m afraid it would turn GTA O into a re-enactment of Charge of the light brigade.

Can't do it for the same reason they can't have children in the game. If you have horses, 50 cal machine guns and realistic steak in the same game, it would be too disturbing.

You all are forgetting the real question... Do the horses balls react to climate changes?

Yes.

 

Only when there's snow in Los Santos tho.

Bad sport! You destroyed another player's personal horse!

 

The personal horse you destroyed is insured. You've been charged $20000.

I don't really have a problem with that, as long as the horses aren't ridiculous flying Pegasuses with rainbow missiles attached to them

This video was shot right outside the prison at Sandy Shores.

More seriously, watching this makes me want a horse in GTA even more, now.
Not only because I'm the third biggest Iron Maiden fan in my home town,  but because the idea of charging opponents on a horse would be danged cool!

And it opens the door for new activities, in the realm of Golf, Darts, or Arm Wrestling.
What I wouldn't give for a well-scripted Jousting minigame!

Of course, a new Equestrian School DLC (think "Flight School"), where you have to beat the clock in putting horse shoes on might be a bit overkill.
Still, just to have the ability to pull the reigns back, lift the forefront of the steed, bray the horse and make it whinny in a PvP Freeroam fight would be nothing short of brilliant.

Also keep in mind that the choice of horse shoe actually does make a difference in performance

But don't forget, if you win 100 races, you unlock chrome horse shoes

And until you do, your new phone contact, who will look and sound like Mr. Ed, calls you every session to remind you of this fact.

LMFAO make sure you put off road shoes on it to get curb boost in races!

These jokes are getting pretty unicorny.

But in all seriousness, I do wonder how many people will come back to GTAO after spending a few months with RDR2 and have horse withdrawals?

Not having played RDR2 yet, I don't know all the features and dynamics of horses are. I do remember RDR(1) being a bit slow and jerky.

I would hope that GTH horses would be fluid and well-balanced.

[KD142000]

No idea what horses would be like in a GTA setting, but I assume R* will have some way of tying it in, so to speak.

A horse T-shirt? A statue of John Marston (That's his name, right? Don't really follow RDR) riding a horse in your apartment if you bought the game?

Actual, ride-able horses? Or maybe a newspaper article about the history of horse-riding in San Andreas?

Perhaps an article banning horses, like that article in the LCS instruction manual about wanting to ban all motorbikes?

 

Don't think actual horses would fit in GTAO, but they added the Tron bike and the Oppressor Mk. II....soooo....

R* could offer us a new series of businesses where we could process our stolen horses: glue factory, pet food factory, mystery meat packing, etc.  We could then accumulate and distribute the finished products in yet another round of free-mode delivery guy simulator sell missions.

That's why I can't see myself playing that game. Imagine delivery missions where the fastest vehicle in the entire game is slower than a Post Op van.

Best joke of the thread that.

To be fair, I would love to see more tie-ins with these 2 games, maybe ,more.

 

We've had GTA in numerous timelines, and RDR is naturally a long time before. Like the bounty hunting and treasure hunt this year for GTA:O. To find newspaper cuttings or journals and such with cross over references. Updates from Claude, Tommy, or CJ & Niko, just to show what they'd be up to in 'today's' GTA.

Lol, I do get your point. But my horse is owning that van.

I genuinely can't see much potential in updates for RDR2, except for new missions or minigames.

Unless they go full-on crazy and attach miniguns and RPG's to horses, that is. That would upset the fans of RDR, I feel, but it would look cool, if a little ridiculous.

 

How does one balance a horse, anyway? I know that horses bred for racing are gonna be faster...but surely it shouldn't matter?

Love to know what people think of RDR2 one year later. As far as I know, people like it, but same thing happened with GTAO...Not as well-praised as it used to be.

I feel more positive on a couple of points. You aren't wrong though, rocket horses/miniguns and such won't be welcome I feel, lol. (But this thread shows, funny is funny too).

 

One year from now, RDR fans are gonna love their game still. We do with the last and that's 8 years old, GTA fans love their GTA. I'm lucky I enjoy both. Plus, this one is far bigger and has huge potential I believe, my other point.

 

Businesses seems to be working for R* and players both in many ways, heists proved popular here too. The usual stuff of course, racing could be a laugh but DM's, LTS, survivals etc which if the combat/balance proves better for a PvP player, that'll appeal on any game really if they have good terrain. RDR2's is good for that.

 

But all sorts, they could make it a farming sim, add an Undead Nightmare like DLC, include aliens, vampires, mummies, ghosts, and you could make a whole other game with that map by making something scary. Mexico and a new story there are possible. Many minigames or jousting and bullfighting even, stupid fun. Tougher bounties and treasure hunts, new animals to hunt too. All add to it.

 

Also we have areas in RDR2 that grow with time too, areas that once were a camp, after our helping or not, those areas change and build up. R* could really do something different and move time forward and add to the map that way, enabling more things to come.

 

So much potential, for both games IMO. But that's all it is until one day, hopefully. This site us full of ideas so R* can't be short of a few.

The takeaway from your whole, awesome post: "Stupid fun."
Because that's exactly what it's ALL about... in-game and in real life.

Ha-ha, it really is.

 

Knowing R*, just the potential with animations on jousting could be hilarious. With each of their games, all that jazz just grows, stupid deaths and epic fails. Even now, tumbling down Mt. Chilliad after stacking my BMX or pressing triangle. Too much fun.

 

Wish I could roll all the way to the bottom and bowl someone over or flatten them.
