Fast Travel

[BRO_MAN 261]

I remember being able to use the taxi service as Louis for awhile, you were able to get the # through Morrie I think. Whenever I search for the option now i come up with nothing, which leads me to believe i was just really stoned one day.

[Crazee 204]

Too bad every bus we've seen so far has no passengers.

I vaguely recall reading somewhere, maybe in the GI interview, that NPC's will use public transport such as buses to go too and from work at certain parts of the day, So i'm going to assume that the players characters will be able to use them as well.

[GunSmith 2452]

If, for whatever reason, I don't feel like moving the stick and holding the trigger to get where I want to go, a taxi, bus, or train will do just fine for me.

I sort of remember that too, and to me that's really exciting. I don't in any way mean to sound so insensitive after the Boston bombings, but I personally look forward to stepping onto a rush hour bus, dropping a few remote charges, getting off at the next stop, and then . . . well, you know.

I personally love taking it slow between missions, a lot of role playing, driving slow yet always finding myself getting into trouble. For me it is more rewarding to discover the city and learn it's layout. I also like the public transportation as it doesn't break my immersion as much.

I agree with you, at least for my first playthorough when doing missions.

[TenpennyKilla 34]

I can see them including taxis, trains and possibly buses, but in all honesty I've always preferred to drive myself, it's not about the destination but the journey

[GunSmith 2452]

Taxis are back.

[calimann83 125]

I think public transportation as a form of travel is great (caps and such) but no Elder scrolls style fast travel please.

[KingOfLosSantos 52]

I just saw this in the new screenshot from the airplane above the beach.

Do those boats move or do they stay ther like TBOGT.

I think they move because they are too close to the pier to stay there forever.

Maybe we can even control it.

Its not really fast but its better then swimming, would be nice to hijack that boat with important people in it.

And then i kill them all and i steal all their money.

Maybe we get an island where people go to with that.

[jurriaanh 12]

May be there will be ferrys for rivers and the Sea, perhaps with the ability to contain cars?

[KingOfLosSantos 52]

Do you think its a cruise or a ferry?

I hope it is a cruise.

[Massacre 7646]

It's a yacht. Probably identical to the one from TBOGT.

[GunSmith 2452]

But why does it look so big? It appears bigger than the boardwalk.

[Ku Zi Mu 1194]

I'm still hoping for subways.

[TwoFacedTanner 278]

Wanting an instant fast travel system in a game like this is a terrifying new level of lazy.

[Massacre 7646]

But why does it look so big? It appears bigger than the boardwalk.

The yacht was gigantic. Here's a mod that docks the yacht at Happiness Island. That should give you a decent idea of scale.

The yacht is very roughly the size of the building on the pier, and that's only a small part of the pier in that pic. The distance from the pier and angle of the yacht makes it hard to judge the size.

[GunSmith 2452]

That's likely the problem. Out in the water I had nothing to scale it to. Thanks, Mass.

[Call_Me_Cinco 1]

No no no no no no no no no no no

Fast travel i love flying through the road on a fast car was so fun

Only fast travel on a taxi and bus and train plane

[GunSmith 2452]

Wow, you'd need to be surfing that car pretty fast for it to penetrate the road.

Also, we need more train-planes in video games.

[JustAn808 130]

I'm lazy enough as it is. If 'fast traveling" was a feature, I'd be too tempted to use it all the time (ie Skyrim). Feel like I wouldnt get as much out of the game/scenery and miss out on alot of little due to my lazy tendencies, which would be a shame.

[Barrybran 851]

I like the system used in RDR. It was there if you wanted to use it, you could skip the cut scene if you wanted to or you could just ignore it and ride around (my preferred option). I can't see why they can't implement a similar system; use it if you want to or ignore it if you don't. I agree that taxis should be accessible via phone and I like the limo suggestion but don't see it happening.

[calimann83 125]

I forget that RDR did have a fast travel of sorts. I think being able to call a cab would replace any need for a fast travel like that.

[Qdeathstar 1763]

Fallout related, i would like a wait option, so i can advance past night time.

[calimann83 125]

You know, I was just thinking about that the other day when I was playing GTA4. it seems like a wait option would open up some new possibilities. At the same time I have my doubts that R* would actually do it.
