I know this is still controversial but I still think that cars would be a great addition to the game. Keep them in the "vehicle" section, pay if destroyed etc. 

 

They should always be slower and less agile than horses. Just a display of wealth.

Would I Like to Drive a Car in RDO? - yes!

 

Would I Like to see a Lobby full of Cars - God please No!

If and it's a big IF they were properly balanced as I have described I feel they would be a novelty instead of a necessity and we would not see alot of them after the initial surge.

what IS on sale this week?! I did not really check....

[Talisman_83]

I'd love it if they added the hot air balloon from SP as a purchasable mode of transport.

Imagine the sights!

 

Though, R* would have to consider players using it to get to Guarma.. maybe end up putting up a death wall / balloon goes down at sea and you wake up on the banks of St Denis?

 

Also, think of the random gunfights you could have in the air if you came across another player 

Or perhaps just be friendly and wave them on their way by.

Thats like for cruising in saint denis when properties arrive, nothing more if they keep it sorta realistic.

A natural limiting factor, but they could still be useful in some areas.

 

I will be very surprised if R* never adds them to RDO, seeing as it would be a massive money and gold bar sponge for them. The same with bicycles and motorcycles--and both are completely plausible for RDO.

 

Horses will always be the most versatile 'vehicle' in the game though--they can swim through rivers, jump fences, trudge through swamp mud, etc.

yeah, if they want to sponge the sh*t out of players they could with more fulfilling and varied objects, but i guess cars are the easy and less creativity demanding option.

Naturalist role items, meaning the outfits, horses, emotes, Foxmore saddle, thornburn gun belt and offhand holster and perhaps the goodies sold by Nazzar too.

Ruffian have basically been a support studio for a while now - and aside from North and San Diego, the bulk of Rockstar's other regional outfits (Toronto, New England, etc.) are support teams, so "Rockstar Dundee" is almost certainly going to be the same for Ruffian.

 

Sounds less like anything to do with Online specifically, and more just R* expanding in general - where GTA IV was a R* North game and RDR1 a R* San Diego game, GTA V was more 'all hands on deck', and RDR2 was just a Rockstar game, with virtually all studios involved in development, because the games keep getting bigger and more demanding to develop. If anything, it just indicates how R*'s current project is only going to continue that trend further, and require even more people working on it.

R* would also have to limit altitude, interiors are in the sky in RDO, rather than under the map, like in GTAO.

I wonder why they decided to move them into the sky rather than under the map?

I guess that, because of the lack of air travel, they're impossible to glitch into in the sky (on console anyway, PC players using menus can get into them).

 

If they'd put them under the map again we'd have seen a repeat of things like Facility sniping from GTAO.

It appears I forgot to use my head while writing this. Thanks to those who pointed out I was wrong.

I've been pretty ambivalent about the prospect of automobiles in RDO but this rules and I wanna do it.

[FuturePastNow]

Just make the car realistic in that it needs to be "fed" like a horse and maintained. They can sell us cans of gasoline and oil for that.

 

After giving this a lot of thought, I've realized that I really just want to honk a horn at people. Need a bicycle with a little bell, too (bikes were SUPER common in 1899 to the point that their absence is highly unrealistic. Saint Denis should be swarming with people on bikes).

hords of people on bicycles?....finally a use to dynamite arrows eh!?

[AltiMetro]

I wouldn't mind cars, if they're balanced.

Same with hot air balloons. If implemented well, they'd take skill to steer which would be fun.
It would also allow for the introduction of parachutes


What I don't want is a griefer tool that's hard to take down or counter, or lets them dominate a big part of an area.

[No Homing]

And now we wait....

Yep, for what's probably going to be a <5min mission. Including cut scenes and loading times.

Just checking, were Shootouts & Team Shootouts with 16 players disabled or something? Cause it appears they just added them or brought them back?

Yes team shootouts were disabled for a long time.

Only 1500 xp for trading a full set of LA... not much.

Do we also get cash? 1500xp is nothing if that's the only reward.

Yes, 700$ for the red and blond.

Meh. I mean, it's alright I guess, not something I'll bother doing more than once though.

I would like it like this but I doubt R* would go to all the trouble.

Bikes would be great, use the animations from GTAV.
