Trivia
- All three of the names for the game modes are references to something:
- Come Out To Play references the famous line used as a taunt in 1979's The Warriors. The game mode elaborates in reaching a safe point while being hunted relentlessly by others, which is the theme of the movie/book of the gang of The Warriors reaching home in Coney Island after having a price on their head and have all the gangs of the city after them.
- Siege Mentality is a phrase that relates to the state of mind when one believes that they are being constantly attacked, oppressed, or isolated by the rest of the world.
- Hasta La Vista is a play on the phrase "Hasta La Vista, baby" said by The Terminator. The game mode itself is a reference to the famous chase scene in Terminator 2 Judgement Day which involves a semi-truck as well as motorbikes. The chase also takes place in the Los Angeles River, an area that the Los Santos Storm Drain is based on.
