Works in the same way as the MCV in Command & Conquer, only difference is that one was more futuristic www.igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=24997 Soviet version: From cutscenes: From the game manual: -- Last edit: 2009-10-30 13:58:50 | ||
Functions in the same way as the Tiberium Harvester in Command & Conquer www.igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=24993 except in this game instead of Tiberium you collect ore in return for credits. And unlike Tiberium, ore is harmless to your soldiers. Soviet version: From the game manual: -- Last edit: 2009-10-30 14:01:43 | ||
This vehicle cannot be built, it only comes with certain missions, and only playable in one of them. From cutscenes: | ||

I'm sorry I don't come here much anymore. I don't really have much to offer this site now, you can remove my admin rights if you want to. But I like the rating system, I've voted on the games I've played. | ||
I always thought this was based on a Nissan 100NX. | ||
Doesn't look anything like one of those. | ||

I just had a look in the quarry, and these cranes don't appear anywhere! | ||
No, it's a badly rendered generic American police car. | ||
No, this is the closest colour I could get to it. | ||
Bug = Beetle - Obviously! | ||
Mamba = Viper - Both are named after snakes. | ||
Turns out I was mistaken: www.igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=1517 | ||
God, you're right! bp3.blogger.com/_aL1uOzvhcNo/RpvSX2Cj5QI/AAAAAAAAAG0/jt6h0nbs9WM/s400/78_mercury_cougar_xr7.jpg www.mercuryarchive.com/1973to1978/1978CougarXR7.jpg So I was wrong, well done for pointing this out! Now it makes sense because the star sign Virgo is linked to the planet Mercury. | ||
It's a Unimog without the Mercedes badge: www.brian894x4.com/Unimog_front_left.jpg | ||
This car appears in various colours. And yes you have to enter a specific cheat code to drive this traffic car (it's far slower than the player cars and doesn't have much handling). -- Last edit: 2008-03-06 02:02:56 | ||
That doesn't look anything like a Ferrari 512! | ||
Just like the real thing | ||
In the game the name of that car wasn't spelt with a funny "n". | ||
I've just been told the Morris Minor Van was officially called the "Morris 1/4-Ton O-Type" www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=156672 | ||
It's even got a little slit behind the rear window for the bullet proof shield. | ||
austinallegro wrote On screen, the car was tarted up and polished to look nice, but underneath it was a bit of a dog. That often seems to be the case with classic cars in films and TV programs. Inspector Morse went on for years, were they just too cheap to ever fix the car up? By the way, originally Morse's car was definetely a Lancia, but I don't know if John Thaw ever drove one in any of the TV adaptations (I've never sat down and watched an entire episode of Morse). -- Last edit: 2008-02-18 14:04:16 | ||
To unlock the car, you must achieve Gold in every one of the challenges at the Driving School in San Fierro, then I imagine it appears outside along with the Super GT and the Bullet (which you get for getting all Bronze and all Silver). Only Bronze is needed to progress further in the game, completing all the changes to Silver or Gold level isn't actually required for 100% completion. I've never managed to get all Gold myself. -- Last edit: 2008-02-18 13:37:47 | ||
It's definetely supposed to resemble Morse's Jag. | ||
Reminds me of that classic line from Blackadder Goes Forth ("I believe the phrase rhymes with Clucking Bell."). I wonder if that's where the Rockstar developers (who are based in the UK) got the idea from. -- Last edit: 2008-02-14 17:33:36 | ||
The developers of the GTA games were actually based in Scotland. Maybe their designers liked the Escort Cosworth so much (it was one of the greatest hot-hatchbacks of the 90s, and it was also successful as a rally car, Jeremy Clarkson was a big fan) they decided to put into the game, even though it was never available in the US (and thus was probably never street legal), which is where the cities in GTA are located. Perhaps in the game it is a gray import, I don't think you see it driving around in traffic, in Liberty City one is hidden in a courtyard, so it's like a secret car. | ||
How many months? Was their eventual reply helpful? -- Last edit: 2008-02-10 19:20:52 | ||
I've just sent an email to the UK support branch of Rockstar Games. I don't know any other addresses but maybe someone there can put me through to the game developers. | ||
I just think it would be helpful if they told what their design inspirations were. | ||
How about somebody emails Rockstar games, telling them about the site, and asking them if they could tell us what the cars in the GTA games were inspired by/based on? Would this be a good idea, or not? Would they mind that we've taken captures from their game, it wouldn't breach any copyright, would it? -- Last edit: 2008-02-10 17:28:29 | ||
To be honest I think many of the cars on this site are just named randomly. This doesn't look more like a DB7 than another car and in the game it's not even very fast. Someone has named the Superbike as a Ducati 999, it could be any sportsbike! | ||
That does look like the APC from Aliens, which I've listed on IMCDB. | ||
Looks a bit like a Metro to me. And there was no "Rover Maestro", it was Austin Maestro. | ||
Actually Rockstar North (who developed this game) is based in Scotland. But all the same, this is supposed to be an American van, so it's silly labelling it as a Bedford CF. | ||
Has anyone ever seen the Musso? www.4wdonline.com/Ssangyong/Musso/PiCs37/Musso96.FQ.jpg www.driveguide.com.au/4wd/Ssangyong/PiCs37/Musso97.RQ.jpg -- Last edit: 2008-01-13 19:59:38 | ||
Actually Rockstar North, developer of the GTA series is based in Scotland, so they may have heard of the Musso. Also GTA1 features a Ford Escort Cosworth in Liberty City, that was never sold in the US either. | ||
I believe there's another armoured car (I've seen pictures of it) called the FBI Truck, but you need some special cheat or something to get to it. | ||
This car isn't very fast and it isn't very exclusive (it's the car you start off next to at the very beginning of the game), so I don't think of this as an exotic sports car like the DB7. | ||
Somebody changed this to "Lincoln Continental 'Virgo' Series VI". This is wrong, "Mark VI" is part of the official model name, it's not just a model series number | ||
Appears in Mission 9 "A Courtesy Call" and Mission 10 "Operation Icarus" as an enemy attack vehicle and a vehicle the Driver can use, armed with cannon and machine guns. -- Last edit: 2009-12-22 19:06:21 | ||
Appears in various missions, sometimes as a patrolling enemy vehicle or left unattended, in which case you case use it and it's machine gun turret if you have the Driver with you. | ||
Appears in Mission 8 "Pyrotechnics". Since the Driver isn't present on this mission it can't driven, so it just sits there. | ||
Appears in Mission 17 "Before Dawn". The Commandos must reach this vehicle after completing the mission, it will automatically take them to safety, but it isn't drivable. | ||
What should be the model van for this? Bus? Transporter? Caravelle? Vanagon? The cheat code for this vehicle is actually "VANAGON". | ||
The DTS didn't exist in 1997, the car before it was the DeVille. Anyway this car is so banged up it doesn't look like anything in particular. -- Last edit: 2007-08-09 13:42:08 |
