i didnt know where to post this, or if it already been posted...so dont caught my head of please

So i'v seen all this "if this game will be landlocked or not" and such
i realy hope they dont landlock, so i came thinking of....
what if they make the worl like real life earth?!
i mean if u go to far out sea, u come back to the other side of the map


Exempel: u come from west San Fierro (San Fransisco) and when u gone a certain number of miles or kilometer, u come to east Los Santos (Los Santos)..


So what ya'll think?

[HOLDMYBALLSACK]

hmmmm in a way its good i guess but it might have the opposite effect and make the game feel smaller.

or a infinite ocean... possibly a easter egg island along the way

^this ,it would be cool to have that small island

[Chris CJ Jakobsson]

Maybe come to Hawaii (or whetever it will be named in GTA)

Maybe if you go to the very edge of the map and go over the mountains/desert or sea then it will be just the same thing being generated. Imagine a cartoon with the characters in a car going down the road. It's always the same houses repeating over again. It gives the illusion of them going somewhere but their just going in circles! There could be a notification saying "Nothing out here just turn around!"

That way you can walk/sail/drive or fly to your hearts content and since there's no end it gives the illusion of an even bigger area.

Exacly what i thought. u can drive for ever without it to end lol

Hakumai? it is the name for a gta car but why the hell not?

[GTASAIDEAMASTER]

Here's a list of possibilities I consider plausible
Landlock - Not possible,aircraft would go over it,invisible walls are lame and break the immersion
Infinite ocean - Old GTA way,the most plausible one.
Maybe an infinite desert?It would work like the ocean,but generate sand and some cactus and desert trees here and there.

I don't see any other plausible way.

Crazy idea is crazy

[ShotGunRain]

My theory is that when you are in a plane and want to go to the highest mountain there will be a small cut scene where your plane hits the mountains or something happens to it and it shows your character escaping via parachute. Then the cut-scene will end and you will be near top of the mountain, but when you try to get higher on foot you lose oxygen and die and you will be back at your house or at the hospital.

i do like the idea of coming back to land after like a 2 minute ride across the ocean,
but i don't know... an easter egg would be neat

That might be the best. Since we've got planes and there's a risk of amateur pilots overshooting, give some kind of warning (like the protagonist thinking out loud "I'm getting a bit far from where I need to go...") before cutting to the cutscene.

Another option that fits with the GTA style would be overprotective homeland security aircraft attacking you if you go past the border like in Mercenaries or the Battlefield series. Obviously give a 10 second countdown to return to the main map from the time you receive your warning. Maybe have a helicopter fly overhead if on the ground and communicate through a loudspeaker or a message over the radio if you're in an aircraft.

I hope not.
Lackof oxygen, cutscene crashes. God I hope not.

Would you rather hit a invisible wall while flying towards the highest mountain or my theory? I do hope we don't get land locked.

There could be military on the other side of mountains and far out into the ocean that could kill you quickly with the most powerful weapons in the game. But if there's an invincibility cheat, then how do people deal with that?

I bought a GTA:SA copy which I think was moded on the ps2. I could do just that but, it was only on that copy as far as I remember. It was nice but, it was kinda weird seeing the same thing over and over. Never liked it.

[HOLDMYBALLSACK]

i dont want land repeating over and over, that idea repulses me to the core.

[GrandTheftFan788]

I like the idea it would be a good way of doing it of course it will never happen.

What do you mean by invisible walls? What would the alternative be, visible walls?
