The Bus Assassination

Spieler-Notizen

• ◆If the player has a bus before starting the mission, he/she will immediately be told to go to the first pickup. This is because the mission's coding asks for any bus, and the one marked on the map is simply one that spawns for the mission in case the player cannot obtain another one.
• ◆Alternatively if the player has a bus with a dead or alive passenger the mission will fail once Franklin enters it since his cover will be blown.
• ◆If the player gets inside the marked bus but switches to another bus before the first pickup and then destroys the initial bus, the mission will fail.
• ◆Penny's route will take him to Mount Zonah Medical Center, where he will get off the bike and then attempt to escape on foot in an unscripted route.
• ◆The player cannot use the Airport Bus but strangely can use the Dashound. Using the Dashound causes glitches in the mission: the front door will not open during the cutscenes, so the passengers will walk through the door; and the "inside view" of the bus will be replaced with a view of the top of the Dashound (as the Dashound is taller).
• ◆The player cannot kill Penny from afar with a sniper rifle, as doing so blows Franklin's cover.
• ◆If the player exits the bus right before reaching Penny's checkpoint, Penny will run away immediately after Franklin demands an audience with him. Penny will not steal the bicycle behind him.
• ◆If the player drives a bus that is filled with passengers, nobody from the three pickups will enter the bus.
• ◆The first passenger picked up will complain about the possible traffic, stating it took three hours to go half a mile. There is some truth to this statement, as if the player drives to the road rules, obeying traffic lights and following traffic, it will take about six minutes (three in-game hours) to travel this distance.
• ◆After picking up the first passenger, the game offers a prompt to look inside the bus. Each time doing so triggers a different dialogue from one of the passengers.
• ◆The ability to look inside the bus is one of the few ways to examine a vehicle's interior in detail in the original version. However, the cockpit view is unavailable.
• ◆The prompt to look inside the bus will still be present if first-person view is activated in the enhanced version. Doing so will switch the camera between the cockpit view and the view from the rest of the interior.
