Grand Theft Auto Online‘s spring season of race-centric updates continues with off-brand Mini Coopers trying to outfox the fuzz. As absurdly aggressive as GTA’s police AI is infamous for being, nothing can fairly examine with one other human participant out for blood, as you’ll see in The Vespucci Job, a three-on-one aggressive automobile chase mode shamelessly impressed by The Italian Job.
For some purpose, Rockstar have opted to not accompany this replace to the sport with an official gameplay video. Fortunately, the YouTube channel GTA Series Videos went and captured a match, with out commentary, and with a number of picture-in-picture views. It ought to provide you with a good suggestion of what to anticipate from the brand new playmode. More of this type of factor, please! Fewer offended shouting heads, extra split-screen goodness.
The participant within the Not-Mini is successfully tasked with finishing a scattered city checkpoint race, with at the very least 5 Vespucci Job tracks being obtainable for the time being. Up to 3 different gamers in police cruisers must intercept and reduce off the diminutive menace to life and limb, and whereas the cop-cars are considerably quicker in a straight line, their automobiles are considerably much less agile, and way more more likely to get snagged on one thing racing down slim alleys and side-paths, and are completely unable to observe by means of some obstacles, like between traffic-blocking bollards.
It’s GTA driving at its greatest, actually, turning a pre-set chunk of map into an impediment course for a recreation of cat and mouse with minimal effort. I’m nonetheless hoping we’ll see one other high-budget replace within the vein of the Doomsday Heist earlier than Rockstar finally tire of increasing GTA Online, however an eternity of the studio experimenting with enjoyable new mixtures of automobiles, weapons and complicated environments wouldn’t be so unhealthy both.
The Vespucci Job replace is accompanied by a trio of latest purchasable automobiles. The Not-Mini itself, a flowery rally automobile with an outsized spoiler, and an amphibious gentle helicopter that begins out in civilian configuration, however could be upgraded with machineguns and missiles if in case you have the cash for it. As at all times, there’s a brand new set of automobiles being discounted accompanying the replace, and you’ll try the main points on that on the official Vespucci Job page here.
