Game Forum / Action Games / Grand Theft Auto / September 2006Why no top-down view in SA?
Did r* ever give an explanation as to why the top-down view was removed from San Andreas? And is it back in LCS? >Did r* ever give an explanation as to why the top-down view was removed from >San Andreas? was it even in VC? i remember using it for all of 30 seconds in GTA3, if that. it just doesn't feel right any more. i really struggle to go back and play GTA and GTA2 nowadays, i'm too used to the 3d free-roaming and the handy ability to see where you're going and what's in front of you! :) >And is it back in LCS? i don't remember seeing it (on PSP at least)  Signaturegamertag: Chrisflynnuk http://live.xbox.com/member/Chrisflynnuk Current eBay auctions: http://tinyurl.com/hutcb Chris F schrieb: Hoi zäme. >> Did r* ever give an explanation as to why the top-down view was removed from >> San Andreas?

In GTA III you basically see your car filling up the screen. No chance on evading obstacles when even travelling at low speeds. GTA2 was cool though. It has this undescribable Videogame-Reality-Feeling to it. =:-) >> And is it back in LCS? >> > i don't remember seeing it (on PSP at least) It's not. Never missed it though. > Did r* ever give an explanation as to why the top-down view was removed > from San Andreas? > > And is it back in LCS? I couldn't use the top down view but I would like them to put a better driving angle in. Even the furthest one is too low. It's too shallow to see what you are about to crash into, especially if going down hills. Dy >> Did r* ever give an explanation as to why the top-down view was removed >> from San Andreas?

How about you position the camera using the mouse or arrow keys, and then hit F3 or something to save that as your preferred angle? A top-down view would be handy for "Burn and lap" at least. >> I couldn't use the top down view but I would like them to put a better >> driving angle in. Even the furthest one is too low.

My favourite toy, the SA Rhino, is bloody annoying to use effectively with the camera going nuts. The recoil of the gun makes that vehicle move so the camera adjusts accordingly. It takes a lot of patience to shoot down police choppers with marauding cops on-foot in the vicinity.

Nope, I've got a feeling it was only used in GTAIII for nostalgia. Shame, as it would have been good for finding horseshoes and things. > And is it back in LCS? Nope.

Removed as of Vice City, actually. :( > And is it back in LCS? Sadly, no, and it's sorely missed by me. :( Was so useful for lining up jumps (such as, in GTA3, jumping from the roof of HEAD Radio to the el or from the el to the Supa-Save [package] or Liberty Pharmaceutical [package, AK-47]) and seeing beyond walls into courtyards and such so you could see things you might otherwise miss passing through, not to mention unique jumps). Man, it would've been SOOOOO nice to get the Doll's House jump (and a few others) in LCS where the cinematic camera for the jump gives you no idea of the line you're actually traveling after you hit the jump or where you'll land until after you smack into the side of the construction site for the hundreth time. :P Signature"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we.
