Any know if...

... there are any firetrucks or other emergancy vehicles ingame? Whether apart of the map or a separate piece?

We have police cars, swat vans and all kinds of street vehicles around, but I don't believe I've ever seen a fire truck or an ambulance.

Was hoping someone knows and can point the way?

Not that I've ever seen. Even when they have the Steel Canyon firefight, it's just a dude standing by some water-spewing backpacks.

Paragon is a lacking city to say the least. No firetrucks, no buses (yet bus stops), no street sweepers, no real weather to speak of, all the alley cats have hybridized with the women, and I don't think I've seen a normal truck anywhere either.

I'm struggling to remember where I might have seen an ambulance, because I do think there is one somewhere. Could be remembering wrong though...

I believe the door on Safeguard mission maps is an ambulance/mobile triage station, since that's where you rez.

Not that I'm aware of... cop cars and SWAT vans are about it.

Hm. That perhaps normal vans could be made to look like a fire truck and swat vans could become an ambulance or/and news vans.

There's also, notably, no normal suburban areas with houses. Everyone apparently lives in apartment buildings.

Actually, that was what I LOVED about parts of Neutropolis. There are these little houses and a gas station and whatnot. It looked more... REAL.

Yeah, that was my favorite thing about Neutropolis too.

I know in the new Atlas I've heard sirens going off somewhere but no vehicles that I've seen. It would be cool, IMO, and add more life to the game if we were to see emergency vehicles driving around apparently responding to situations. Maybe even make them random events (ex: have a car chase through SC and you can take part in the chase and subsequent apprehension of the suspects, sort of like how you could in the Spider-man 2 game).

That particular bit has always bugged me. Maybe the the bus stops are just there to distract mayhem causing villians from more important targets. Like cardboard boxes.

I find your lack of signature disturbing.

Paragon City really needs a lot more things in it to make it seem like an actual city. Gas stations, barber shops, malls, fire stations, hospitals that don't look like they were hastily built to accommodate all the heroes, etc.

The scary part is:

I never would have noticed if you didn't point it out.

My god, it's like we're living in some sort of perverse video game world!

I've always said we need gas stations and the like... and it would make a great series of missions for both sides protecting the fuel depot or blowing it up depending on alignment.

Remember, the entire city isn't open to us. There are places we go via the trains to fight guys that aren't in any of the named zone like Steel Canyon or Atlas Park. So those zones or some of them could have the gas stations and bus depots and such.

Yeah, that was a great touch.

Now I imagine Paragon City to be a lot like New York City in that it's really, really built up and just crammed with people. Still, touches like houses, or in the new Atlas these older buildings visible near the newer ones, are nice touches. Hope ideas like that get incorporated into future zone revamps.
