Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Discussion
It's different from the previous ones, but I wouldn't call them realistic. For instance I find drifting and power sliding much easier in front wheel drive cars. You can do a handbrake 360's going at fairly low speeds, which sucks when you're getting used to the controls but is very useful/fun once you get used to the controls. Hitting pedestrians with cars is 'fairly' realistic as they respond to where and how hard you hit them. Accident physics is fairly nicely done too, in my opinion.

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Discussion
I like how they roll over the car and continue to roll when they hit the floor. Or when they go under its like going over speed bumps. XD
I also like the crush zones on the cars, get rammed from behind and you find your car has gone from a 4 door to a 2 door... Jack we should play some time..

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Discussion
my experiences with online gaming have all been pretty bad, i tried TOCA RD3 with a 3Mbps cable connection and it still lagged like hell. So did BMW M3 Challenge.
also: in real life, front wheel drives tend to understeer at high speeds, which make them harder to spin out, but still fun to drift nonetheless. 360's with the handbrake is definitely unrealistic, unless you get an extremely high-powered RWD car and throw the rear end out in front by slamming on the throttle. |

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Discussion
 I didn't mean real 360's. That's still done using the brakes (donuts), even front wheel drivers can do em now. What I meant by the handbrake thing was, say you're driving along a straight and find you need to take a corner, in SA and VC, you could just use the handbrake and take the corner without much issue, now if you don't steer it correctly, the car just does a 360 and continues straight on

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Discussion
I mess around a lot, but I think I've finished 30% of the game. I loved the deconstruction for beginners mission and *spoiler warning* the mission where you have to go save Roman.
*spoiler warning* In terms of where I am in the game, I've started the missions for Karen(finished 1, next on is on the map) and Dywane. All the bridges are now open. I don't have access to the game right now I so can't be more precise

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Discussion
*Spoiler-ish tip*
to do with Dwyane and Playboy (highlight to read) Once you have the option to kill Dwayne or Playboy X, Kill Playboy X. you get a save point out of it, Kill Dwayne you get nothing. *spoiler warning* - about my progress I'm currently at the mission where Roman is held hostage, where you get that picture message of the gun being held to his head. I was dissapointed about Michelle being a Fed, I wined and dined her like a true criminal would. Last edited by dxj : 05-07-2008 at 12:48 AM. |

Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Discussion
