Skydiving returning to GTA?

Rockstar's Twitter feed promised 'lots of announcements' yesterday. Curiously enough, the biggest announcement may have been a much more subtle reveal. Because the image accompanying the details of the Gay Tony trailer shows someone falling out of a helicopter.

And while the image is too dark to clearly tell, it looks very much like he's wearing a parachute, and that the fall is entirely of his own choosing.

Interesting.

Although i would prefer muf"diving

yess5361d ago

So they removed all the fun thing's, and then starts to put them back in.If i wanna skydive ill go for Just cause 2,GTA is getting annoying with the so realistic feel wich isent there,and the no fun just missions,Bowling and lame phone call's.

Give me old GTA back....PLEASE!!!

pxpxp5361d ago

Yeah im sure it will have that too haha. Hey its GTA the most scandalous game franchise ever. But yeah skydiving was alot of fun. Not saying that jumping out of the helicopter and aiming for a pool isnt fun but a parachute would be a great feature to bring back

ThanatosDMC5361d ago

They need to just drop this GTA all together and get on with a game as fun as San Andreas was. DLC will not appeal to the masses that have already shunned this game.

Roper3165361d ago

the parachuting is just one of the many things stripped out of GTA IV that led it to be a let down for me personally. Where were the planes, bikes and r/c car missions? to name a few more of the stripped out goodies. At this point I am not even looking forward to the next GTA game after IV.

Redempteur5361d ago

bikes and racing missions awere still there ...

Chimerhazzard5361d ago (Edited 5361d ago )

You remember that airstrip in the Desert? The one that always had one of those stunt planes? One of the things I did all the time was to grab the stunt plane and pass right above the military base nearby. That would automatically get me like 5 wanted stars and a bunch of Hydras after me. The base would send rockets against my plane as well.

So what I used to do was to use the stunt plane to dodge the rockets just for an inch, you know, looking to the back of the plane to see when the rockets were coming and then just tilt the plane and barely dodge them. I would get "Bonus points" if I managed to get their rockets to hit one of the military's Hydras :D The gameplay of San Andreas was so great, that I always thought they could make a game just out of that airplane and rocket dodging. If you guys never tried to do this I recommend you to do so, it was so much fun.

BreakNeckSpeed5361d ago

I think this calls for a " HELL YEAH"

Skydiving would be awesome.

Orange Juice5361d ago

but I cant help but wonder what sorts of toys and gadgets AGENT will have. Hopefully we get a parachute, jetpack and night vision goggles like in San Andreas. Since you will be a spy those things don't seem too far fetched.

HBK6195361d ago

Have to remember that Agent is going to be set in the 70's though, so jetpacks are out.

I do hope that Rockstar North can go down a bit more of the fun path though with Agent and even the next GTA as GTA IV was stripped of far too much fun stuff which severely hurt the replayability factor.

Orange Juice5361d ago (Edited 5361d ago )

What I'm hoping is for R* to use the opportunity they have with Agent to go insane with the variety & scale. Thats what made San Andreas such an awesome experience for me, the content & scale, both of which were absent from gta4. Regarding jetpacks, maybe our character has access to new and experimental technology that the government is working on. The cold war couldve caused a budget spike in R&D which would lead to lots of new and otherwise impossible concepts that would make it straight to us for field testing.

The possibilities are endless, I wish they would reveal something so my brain can stop speculating.

HBK6195360d ago

LOL, well don't get TOO excited yet, I'm still waiting for screenshots or some better info before really anticipating anything.

One thing can be assured and that is that Agent can start at a bigger scale and with more than GTA IV, remember that GTA IV was the first time their RAGE engine was used and if it is being used for Agent then all that is needed is a little bit more refinement in that engine instead of having to build and refine at the same time.

Agent should definitely be bigger than GTA IV, whether it can reach the scale of San Andreas is certainly still to be seen.

Skydiving
Chain Saw
Jet Pack

Honestly- I like GTA4 and i defend it from critics-- but they need these features to spruce up my interest level again-- if the DLC comes to PS3 this could really help make my decision easier.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies7d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken7d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing697d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker7d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing697d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt7d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken7d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Wasn’t the Table Tennis game the first to use RAGE?
