You can probably all remember diving into the vast ocean in
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which is the only
GTA game to date to feature a completely explorable ocean floor. Remember diving beneath the surface for... well, um... for about 10 seconds, before you had to re-surface or suffering the drowning? In the much awaited
Grand Theft Auto: V, we've been told the ocean floor is completely explorable, however, will we be required to wear the correct attire to perform such an activity? Without the scuba diving kit, it's only logical to assume that the ocean floor will be "blurry." Which leaves us to believe that it's going to be fairly restrictive. According to Rockstar, Motocross will also play a part within the game. I'm led to believe it'll be a mini-game but one can only wait and see. You should be able to see in the above image, the motocross participants are wearing their rider gear. Will this be essential from now on? Will it be required to prevent a great amount of damage one can cause in the event an accident occurs? I can only hope this is the case as I'm a big fan of realism as you may have gathered and this is something that'll help to the cherry atop this already delicious cake. How about a harness? Will it be essential to wear a harness? Whether we're shooting from a helicopter or rappelling from a building, the screenshots we've got so far have already said yes to that question. So to wrap it all up, the evidence so far seems to show that - although characters won't be able to gain weight, add tattoos or change their hairstyle - it's more than likely you'll be required to wear the correct attire for the activities you choose to do, at least.
