GTA 5 Online Heists revealed in new trailer

[TechFanboy]

 

Heist missions have finally been revealed for Grand Theft Auto Online—GTA 5's self-explanatory online mode. Okay, so the "finally" of that sentence is somewhat bitter-sweet, given that on PC we're still waiting for GTA 5's January release.

Here's the important bit: GTA 5's online mode didn't previously have heists—one of the best bits of GTA 5's singleplayer campaign. As of "early 2015," though, it will, and the above trailer confirms that they're coming to the PC version as well.

IGN has an informative interview on what the feature will entail, and also questions why the co-op heist missions took as long as they have.

"They just turned out to be a lot more difficult than we originally thought," said GTA Online producer Imran Sarwar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"One of the challenges is that unlike a heist in Story Mode," Sarwar later said, "every player needs to feel central to the action at all times, and that’s much more challenging than it appears." In the singleplayer game, players can switch between characters to ensure they're always at the centre. In online play? Not so easy. Sarwar uses the example of a getaway driver, and needing something for that player to do that isn't just sitting around and waiting in a car.

The co-op heists will be four player multi-segment missions, and, according to Sarwar, will be organised by a designated "heist leader" among the group. As for the missions themselves, "some missions have all players working as one unit, some require players to take on specific tasks like hacking or crowd control, while others require players to split into smaller teams to complete separate high value objectives."

With no exact release date, it's not clear if online heists will be ready for GTA 5's PC release. That, if you weren't already counting down the days, will happen on 27 January.

[theloveablemoose]

If a game with sole purpose and intention being a gruesome, hateful, mass-murder simulator to a storied crime game that doesn't encourage or require mass murder sprees on innocent people to progress constitutes "slightly different", then yes, we do like this because its "slightly different".

Oh right, it's not like Valve wouldn't allow a game that's soley for the purpuse of being a gruesome, hateful, mass-murder simulator already....

Seriously though, You can be just as gruesome and hateful on either fucking game. This is true for all sandbox games that go intro great detail and give you no limits. If anything, the only distasteful thing is that one dev admits "Yeah, we have the balls to admit the main purpose of anybody buying this kind of game" instead of hiding behind "oh it's just satire, commentary!"

So payday the heist with a skin and some tweaks ?

[The_Evenger]

i remember when they were saying "Spring 2014!"... nope.

at least it'll be there when we get it!.. hopefully.

[XTankSlayerX]

As someone who flys the attack helicopter in bf4.i want that chopper.

I also want that flare gun, it would make air pickups a lot easier.

REALITY CHECK: Rockstar will probably trash this with micro transactions. I've literally heard one other person say that micro transactions kind of ruin it. Meanwhile we're hating on EA?

[lutewan]

only a year late good job

im not kdding

[El_indian]

haha i love the start of the trailer directed at all the delay complaints. 

[pbenologa]

GTA IV had that heist thing in the first place.

[daemonowner]

I like the "I know you've been complaining" bit

I dislike the PC port being 16 months delayed from initial release on consoles bit.

[The Crazed Child]

no, Payday The Heist is primitive compared to this

[Ruostunut kokis]

Yeah... No.

 

I've said it months ago, and I'm saying it again: Rockstar isn't gonna get any money from me anymore. The game is not even worth pirating IMO.

[Snickerzz]

three leaf clover, ill never forget

[pbenologa]

Yeah... No.

Fine then. Haha. 

[Master Disaster]

...SNIP... (Rockstar bullshit)

 

Translation -

 

Hiests have been ready since we launched the game over 12 months ago on last gen systems but we've used excuse after excuse to keep them back until the game launched on next gen platforms because we wanted to make a shit load more money by selling more crap to more users.
