THE NEXT GRAND THEFT AUTO (after san andreas)

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: URmom

I have passed GTA san andreas many times looking for glitches and studying it to make suggestions. I doubt a Rockstar game designer will even read this but...... why not take the city vice city(as in vice city) with an upgraded version of las vegas(as in san andreas)a made up city maybe like a racing and tuners city for all the illegal street racing . With new york city. How about some amazing car and tuner upgrades with body kits and what not like need for speed or something. And another city or two.

Personally i like the 3 large city approach in san andreas except theres not enough missions and the game is to short. You should be able to buy more large mansions, and there should be more SUV'S like a cadillac escalade.

San andreas had a pathetic 2 player co-op mode (maybe Rockstar wanted to save ideas for the next game). The co-op mode needs to be split screen and maybe even do missions together, and have have slayer modes where we kill each other and chase each other around.

What is very annoying in the game is that when you leave a car for a while it disappears it not very realistic. Maybe in the next one we can have a feature to turn off our cars, put it in park, neutral and lock it so no one steals it, than we wouldn't have to steal so many cars and we keep one car for a long time. wouldn't it be awsome if there was a feature that the cars and boats needed gas, because if were keeping our cars for longer and stealing less cars why don't we fill them up when they run out of gas. maybe we can even rob gas stations!

I dont know these are just suggestions
if you have any suggestions email me at
kuziwk@hotmail.com and/or leave a reply

Doesnt anone have there own opinion? or any suggestions i have an open mind here

well really, if the cars needed gas, nobody would want to pay for them in a GTA game, so therefore it would cause us to go steal more of them, hence ruining the idea of filling then up, and stealing less vehicles.

Such games are best devised by imposing limits on what you can not do.

YOU SHOULD HAVE A ROCKET PACK

AND FLY



Posted by: URmom

well actually in san andreas there is a rocket pack you can get. I guess you guys are right about the gas thing. But i still think its a good idea because if cops are chasing you than you can get arrested when you run out of gas. Or maby its harder to steal vehicles so thats why we keep them for longer. Or when we steal the vehicle your more likely for cops on your tail. So its easier to keep your vehicle than steal more. The one thing i dont like about some missions is when you have to use other guys car to do the mission and your own rare car dissapears when you leave it and come back. Also another thing is why do the cars catch on fire all the time? there should be break downs where the cars engine craps out instead (depending on the crash).

i think the distinction is the GTA games are not crime 'emulators', they're purposely designed to be OTT and unrealistic in many ways to add to the fun. Of course its unfortunate if these measures aren't proving fun for you, but i guess thats the same as some people liking rally racing games and some people preffering crashing racing games where its not so real. all down to taste. personally i wouldnt want a gta game where you had to refuel but then thats just me



Posted by: URmom

well maby your right...but what about s rare car disapearing when you leave and come back. Doesnt it make you mad or when you park a boat at your house it dissapears. There should be an option to tie the boat up, or what? Or even a better split screen mode. Maby they were saving up some ideas for the next gta. they should use these ideas for this next gta coming(hopefully). Also dont you think that many city's are a good idea?

does anyone else have an opinion?

well lets see, i can not say what i do for a living but i know ppl within rockstar, however let me explain something to you that you dont know:

firstly, as said its not to be a crime emulator as the FCC and other agencies would protest as such extreme's, also that it can be a factor in drug psychosis cases where people think they're in the game in real life.

secondly, apart from the rating/censor nonsense you have to understand that when u compile a game from previous code u must enable a beta to be better, then release to your boss an improvable stack of code for analyzers, then check for inconsistencies within the framework of such things in plain english 'jumping off a bridge and how much health goes down' - does this mean in real life it should be seen as a large strong man would survive where others would be dead and later roadkill 'engage roadkill as a fun part you can do in the game' this again goes back to my first point, sexist fronting a man would survive, the promotes the health market of gym freak men have a longer life expetency and are covered by insurance companies.

now im past the logical blabaganda, consider that if you were to play a game as such you described where is the logic urmom, if you wanted to be a bad m'f gangsta or struck hard hitman kind of figure in the game why would you wanna score less points for paying for gas or even stealing it in the same car again and again, why not be more creative - drain other cars petrol into your gas canister which can be poured onto the car to disproof your the suspect of the crime then with the remainder of the large amount of petrol use on your desired car, even more different types of petrol -e.g diesel, then a step further have a court case, so you can end up in jail n actually play it out in jail, lol 10 year sentence in gta would be 10 hours. also you could have a bail contract to stay at a certain address n you get a text message or GPS alert from a homie/buddy that with a new feature you and your buddies use a mobile police scanner -that you must race to this address to show the 5-0 your home.

Another idea; add on more than color rags, racial, sect's, area's. how about bikie gangs, triad's, homeboys, black panther like movements, skinhead, cross dressers, city council courruptee's, all at once, previously you could only get a few in each series of the game and/or were not available to choose, how about you choose in a free form mode of the game/ or in harder style you get forced based on family ties, housing area being all in like C.J grove street families.

I have a few projects that could be done in a gta like game, however everyone is cashing in on gta sa, 187, bodycount, Ryde of Def n so on.

Now what do people think of this post, especially you 'urmom'.



Posted by: Bishop

One, proper sentence structure and paragraphing helps enourmously.

Two, never pull the 'game developer' or 'friend of game developer' card, especially if you're unwilling (or as in most cases, incapable) of proving such.

Third, your second point makes very little sense in terms of how these things are actually done, or from even a sensible, logical standpoint.

Everything past that bashing urmom's harebrained idea I fully support in an obscure and noncommital way, while finding your own additions to be hollow and stale, much like his in nature.



Posted by: x_boxer1

i know i cant prove anything and i wouldnt just for your sake. the other thing is that logical is not always the reality which you must bare in mind, e.g if a car is at top speed of 200mph would it be logical to slow down when coming toward a cop car or reality that even if you did or didnt that your number plate would be radio'd in. I was expressing my opinion and the reality of what is possible from past experience, knowledge and theories brainstormed which can be done. Unlike urmom no such thing has been done to be proved.

End of thread for me, before it gets over boarded.
