Video: A ‘TRON’ Update Is Coming To ‘Grand Theft Auto Online’
Today is going to be a long day, as we wait for the 2016 election results to be tabulated, so it’s nice to know that we can go release some stress by taking advantage of a new update forGrand Theft Auto Onlinetoday. Some of you out there maybe haven’t playedGrand Theft Auto Vin awhile, but this update just might get some of you back online for a bit.
Grand Theft Auto Online: Deadlineis a new update that adds some new gameplay features which basically make it feel like you’re playing the game on The Grid inTRON. Get a taste of theGrand Theft Auto TRONshenanigans after the jump.
Obviously Grand Theft Auto can’t just call this aTRONupdate due to copyrights, but those motorcycles are clearly designed after the lightcycles from the popular film franchise. Plus, the gameplay for the new addition called Nagasaki Shotaro features these motorcycles cruising around with light trails that follow behind them which are extremely deadly to other players if you run into them with your bike.
The only thing that could make this update even better is if there was some kind of light disc weapon that you could throw and turn people into pixels. Or if there was a way to fly around the city in a Recognizer, or drive that quad vehicle that Olivia Wilde’s character Quora cruises around in. You know what, just make a decentTRONvideo game with a sandbox environment.
Grand Theft Auto Onlinehas introduced some other genre-infused updates in previous months, but this is the first one that is so blatantly inspired by a popular sci-fi film franchise. It would be awesome to see updates take cues from fan creations forGrand Theft Autowhere they’ve brought things like theDeLorean time machine fromBack to the FutureorMarvel’s Incredible Hulkinto the game. The Iron Man suitwas another awesome modificationthat has literally changed the game for those who play on their computer.
Getting updates like that would take some tricky rights negotiations, but fans would lose their mind, and it would continue to make a game that has been around for awhile feel fresh again. It might even make for some cool cross-promotion with other movies. Anyway,Grand Theft Auto Online: Deadlineis available now to add toGrand Theft Auto V, so take a break from watching election results later today and go ride some lightcycles.
