GTA4 will use EuphoriaEngine?

[soad667]

Check this out...
http://www.naturalmotion.com/files/nm_rockstar_2007.pdf

At the end of the month, the first GTA4 trailer will be out so maybe we'll have more clues about its engine, if it isn't just a teaser with the GTA4 logo on fire and the tag "coming soon" under :) Imagine the freeform gameplay of GTA under an engine like this. Sounds amazing and i think it's just a matter of time till Rockstar confirms GTA4 using Euphoria.

Personally i think that the future of gaming belongs to physics and that's for sure. Great graphics we have for sure. And sound too. Time for heavy use of physics to be a standard on all the future titles :D

[Dj Demetrius]

You are right. The physics combined with great sound and graphics will make the illusion incredible. Let's just hope that it will be fun to play too.. ;)

[danahribo]

Don't you mean the game will be fun after you finish the missions or get get stuck?

[AquaGeneral]

OMFG! Euphoria has one of the most realistic rag doll systems ever. Imagine pure ragdolls getting "stuck" by a car.

[Stigern]

Oh god, this gta will be so awesome, the first thing im going to do when I get to play the game is driver over a pedestrian! :D

Hope they have "deformable car body", so its not like GTA 3 where the car "frame" cannon ble deformed.

[Trooth]

So, uh... Somebody want to tell me a little bit about why this engine is so wonderful?

Look at that! Remember, its realtime, so you can actually use the mouse to move the box.

EDIT:

More interesting videos.

[Trooth]

Wow, that's pretty amazing stuff. Are there any playable demos out at all?

[soad667]

No playable demos for the time being... But two other games that will use Euphoria are Star Wars:Force Unleashed and one with Indiana Jones. Don't have a link ready, but if u go to youtube and search for euphoria, you will see a couple of videos... Sorry, i'm a bit bored to check :o

[tommyverceti]

it will be kinda like saints row for 360

[Muntu]

it will be kinda like saints row for 360

But much better

[tommyverceti]

i agree with that but i hope it isnt just for ps3 or 360 because i have an xbox
and a ps2

[Kurrus]

The GTA saga NEEDS to be more centered about physics.
If GTA gets better vehicle physics, it'll make a nice mix between FlatOut and Trackmania.
Come to think of it, if The Legend of Zelda saga used physics it'd be freaking awesome...

[Rob223]

I can't wait till I see a proper physics game on the wii, personally ^_^ but this sounds good. Pity i won't be getting a PS3.

[Dj Demetrius]

I have tried Natural Motion a little, but i didn't understand much. Still lies somewhere on my HD i think...

[Muntu]

i agree with that but i hope it isnt just for ps3 or 360 because i have an xbox
and a ps2

Well i think you'll have to buy PS3 or X360 if you want to play GTA IV..... Maybe there will be version without physics and with much worse graphics on ps2 and Xbox... Maybe....

[tommyverceti]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

[soad667]

Or wait for spring/summer of 2008 to see a pc version based on dx10 and quadcore tech... :D Hope never dies................ ;)

[ericman666]

woah. this will be cool

too bad my parents don't allow those games

[Stigern]

I can't wait till I see a proper physics game on the wii, personally ^_^ but this sounds good. Pity i won't be getting a PS3.

I doubt the Wii could handly advanced or just regular physics games. There would be some physics, but I think the hardware is the limit. :(

Isn`t GTA4 going to be released to pc?
If so, its strange cause all other GTA`s have been.

[Relys]

It's sad realy... The Wii + Physics would be totaly awesome... Like throwing ragdolls around mwahahaah!

[soad667]

Well, as for a couple of the past GTA titles, only for marketing purposes, first it will be released as a console-only title. A bit later it will come to PCs too, as it always did... Except if something goes really wrong :) But i doubt that, we'll just gonna need some patience till the official announcement from Rockstar for a PC release............. ;)

[waffle killer]

Hey I have that endorphin engine. It is AMAZING!!! I'd give a link but I forgot where I got it. :mad:

[AquaGeneral]

The pitty about the Wii is that is cannot do much physics. Just look at Red Steel, it is close to the max. Hopfuly it could still handle about 40 rag dolls.

[Trooth]

Wait a minute... Back before San Andreas came out, wasn't everybody saying it would have ragdoll physics? I'm getting the distinct vibe that this is going to be a dose of the same medicine...

[AquaGeneral]

I noticed that San Andreas has such capped physics everytime you blow up a car it will go the same height unless another car blew up at the same time. I hope the ragdolls will like or even better than Saints Row's. Looking foward to what will be in the new trailer coming out the end of this month.

[soad667]

Yeah, but back then, Rockstar hadn't sign with Natural Motion :D

[c--b]

I doubt the Wii could handle advanced or just regular physics games. There would be some physics, but I think the hardware is the limit. :(

Elebits uses physics extensively, not to mention the Wii is supposedly 2-3 times as powerful as the original X-box. Clearly it can handle regular physics games, saying otherwise is just silly.

[Kurrus]

Wii Sport's Baseball has some complex physics.

[AquaGeneral]

The Wii cannot even handle 100 NPCs, look at Rayman Raving Rabids, most of them in the background have a 2 frame animation.

A launch title on Xbox 360 Kameo: Elements of Power had 4,000 trolls and elves fighting all real time. I think PS3 can do the same.

[Purple]

San Andreas had physics with the cars, planes, trains, popped tires, lamp posts, broken off doors, parachute, and motorcycle.
Also, I think there was a crane somewhere in there, oh, and hydraulics!

So I don't think the physics were crap.

[c--b]

Wii Sport's Baseball has some complex physics.
Who said anything about Wii Sports?

Nobody is arguing that it could handle 100 NPCs.


A launch title on Xbox 360 Kameo: Elements of Power had 4,000 trolls and elves fighting all real time. I think PS3 can do the same.

Yes indeed Kameo can handle many NPCs, I'm sure the PS3 could do the same. Didn't Kameo stink though?

Did a Wii slaughter your guys parents or something? You sound personally insulted by my previous post.

[Muntu]

Yes indeed Kameo can handle many NPCs, I'm sure the PS3 could do the same. Didn't Kameo stink though?


Ofcourse PS3 can do the same... KH2 on ps2 had 1000 npcs on the same time in one fight :)

[bugmenot]

Wow, that's pretty amazing stuff. Are there any playable demos out at all?

Well, I think Euphoria is based on the same engine as their Endorphin product which has a free learning edition. I think it was...yeah, here it is. (http://www.naturalmotion.com/ele.htm)

I'm surprised DMS works so well on my PC.

[Amynue]

:eek:WOOOOOW:eek: GTA 4 first official trailer http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/
18 minutes left!!!!!!!!!

[Steparnicus]

*excited*

10 minutes!

[Amynue]

OMG !!!(0 minutes)

[Stigern]

Haha, timeout! So many people trying to connect at the same time!

EDIT: Seen it now, it looks quite good, but nothing special.
But since the trailer didnt contain any action, I guess it's hard to tell.

[Amynue]

:mad:s**t:mad:f**k :mad:

[Steparnicus]

There releasing one on Gametrailers.com in 45 minutes...

Until then F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 etc

EDIT: Scratch that its up there now

[soad667]

Lol, i thought to post a link here for the trailer and when i came i saw this... countdown thing :eek:

Anyway, the trailer doesn't show much about physics but it sure looks amazing... I had a bad feeling that R* will have real life adverts (like in BF2142), but hopefully they won't. Signs like GETALIFE, Liberteen and Sprunk made me smile. Hope there will be more news soon and the next trailer at least will have some logos at the end, like... PC-DVDROM and NaturalMotion ;)

Going to watch the trailer again and again in slow-mo...

[Steparnicus]

I was kind of disappointed with the trailer, the environments look pretty impressive, but it looks like they havent really pushed the envelope with character models which is annoying.

Can only hope that there'll be heightened physics integration to make the game more interesting!

[Muntu]

Yeah, the city looked amazing... They should have showed some of the new features in the trailer, like physics (ragdolls etc.), new vehicles, weapons and so on... But the sun-thing (dayswapping...?) and shadows were cool

[Stigern]

Anyone got som information about the car-body-deformation in GTA4?
Hope it's more like Flatout, than the old system they used in the previous gta games.

That'd be f*cking cool

[soad667]

One of the most amazing parts was... what else? The rollercoaster! Imagine a whole fun park filled with MANY mini games, built under a proper physics engine :D
No info yet, so we can dream and expect whatever we want :) And R* is capable of EVERYTHING, when it has to do with small and exciting ideas that expand the gameplay in any way...

[Muntu]

You know what would be cool?
BLOW up the rollercoaster and KILL everyone riding it!!!!
MWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Kidding... But with some nice physics and ragdolls, that WOULD be cool... (Only in games, though :D)

[SgtBob]

Just cause noone's made a game for Wii that has over 100 npc's or is physics based doesn't mean it's impossible.

It's gonna take awhile to get to the max potential of the Wii.

Geez. :o

[Dj Demetrius]

We've already seen a great "Dayswapping" thing in Oblivion. I think that the trailer was disappointing. But, better than nothing :)

[soad667]

I read an exclusive article about GTA4 on GameInformer and it was saying the following... between a lot of others, i had to do a selection! - All from an interview with Dan Houser, one of R*'s big minds :cool:

-You play Niko Bellic, a middle eastern guy.
-There'll be a recreation of LC, based entirely on NYC of today.
-People will have limitless activities, not just walking around.
-On locked cars, you smash the window and unlock the car from the inside.
-You have a cell phone (with a camera) for contacts, missions, messages etc.
-Missions have choices, you plote your own destiny.
-Police has a lot more heavier presence.
-No airplanes, because it's only a city.
-Great vehicle diversity/range, but to fit the char (don't expect unicycles or rollerblades).
-Radio has a lot more variations for every possible mood.
-Only an initial loading screen.

Are we talking about physics here or not? Well, i kept the better for the end...
-No more canned and predictable animations for everything (cars,npcs,enviroment etc).
And as Dan Houser said, "We're trying to push the physics forward".
They said a lot more amazing stuff regarding the physics, but i cannot copy-paste the entire article... But i have a feeling that great things are coming... :eek:

They were lucky enough to play a debug version of the game, running on a X360. The article has a lot of screens too, but i don't think i have the right to scan and post them here... :o

GREAT INFOZ :)
Link please...

It's from the GameInformer magazine, issue May'07...
Check the following link for the... cover of this issue ;)

[thenecronwolf]

:eek: Did YOU JUST SAY no planes?!?!?!!?1?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!:eek:

[soad667]

Yeah, sadly, Dan Houser himself said that. But it's only one (VERY BIG) city, so no big deal for me. The thing that worries me more is that they spoke of great diversity etc regarding vehicles, but to fit the character and the whole feeling. I wonder what will happen to karts, bicycles etc (anyone said jetpack?) :confused:

And i hope they won't take out hidden packages, photos etc... My favourite thing was that, grabbing a bike and go hunting for all those stuff (and their rewards) :rolleyes:

But... R* never fails, so have faith :cool:

Yeah, grabbing BMX and just go jumping around was great fun, and now there's even ragdolls :D

[soad667]

Not so much news around new GTA's physics, but here is some more info for the fans out there...

1. The HUD has been removed, no health/armour indicators - everything is visual and if you have armour, you actually have a bulletproof vest which visually deteriorates

2. Explosions are larger than ever and there is a mission based on creating an awesome chain reaction of car explosions

3. Cars don't explode unless you blow them up - they wont explode if you just keep crashing or hitting them

4. You don't get tired - you can run forever, just not so fast as before

5. More RPG elements (?)

6. Improved gore - bullet wounds show, blood appears where you shoot people, they limp if you shoot them in the leg etc

7. No eating, girlfriends, keeping fit - but skills which improve over time still exist

8. Secret vehicles etc for game completion is still there

9. Land size is bigger than the 3 cities (not country) in SA

Imagine some of these features built under a nice physics engine and... keep dreaming till October '07 ;)

PS (offtopic): I had a bad feeling that i won't be able to enter the internet for a long,long time (almost a year), but things (personal stuff) went better than i expected and i'm back at my normal life after almost two months of... inactivity :p
Guess i have a ton of threads to read here, in case i missed something very interesting :eek: :confused:

[TheSloth]

Kneecapping people should be incredible with Euphoria hehe. Previously my favourite game for shooting people in the legs was Medal of Honor on PSX, it had great animations.

[Maltor124]

Thanks for the news, soad, and I'm glad to hear you can finally come back!

I'm interested as to how that deterioration of armor, etc. will look, it might be a very nice touch.

And you, Sloth, seem to have some issues.... :D

[You Fail Me]

Ooh! New news! Exciting!

I still haven't pre-ordered my copy yet.

[TheSloth]

And you, Sloth, seem to have some issues.... :D

Yay, someone finally spotted them! :)

[2Fast4U]

When was the next trailer coming?
PS:I need this.

[soad667]

The next trailer is on June 28th, hope it won't be just a 2nd teaser and that we'll see something gameplay related and not just city views from here and there...
The game's release is only 4 months away :cool:, we need more and more info!

[Muntu]

When was the next trailer coming?
PS:I need this.

June 29., I think

[2Fast4U]

Thanks! I'm waiting for this game (and a lot of them!)

[Amynue]

NEW TRAILER!!!
Watch here (http://www.gamershell.com/tv/8276.html)
or
Download here (http://www.gamershell.com/download_19876.shtml)

On this trailer we can see some Euphoria's, when he is holding truck and helicopter.....nice:D

[Relys]

I played GTA Vice City, and I thought it was horible...

[soad667]

Yeah, just saw the trailer... almost 10 times repeatedly :D
I paused almost on every screen to check things, nice one.

Going for another in-depth view, just to be sure i didn't miss something :cool:
Btw, in case you didn't do it and got nothing better to do, check the screenshots at the official site ;)

[AJJeko]

What a beautiful trailer.. *sniff*. It hurts me to wait 4 months for this wonder of a game.

[Maltor124]

Oh, man, chills! I really can't wait for this game now, and that's the first time I've ever seen Euphoria in a real game environment.... Ah.. looks nice.

[Khrogg]

I do very much doubt that's the physics engine, as the first thing to be known about GTA IV, long before anything else, was that it would use the same game engine as "Rockstar Table Tennis".

[soad667]

Not the best news around... GTA4 delayed and planned for April-June of 2008 :(
See the following if you want more details - http://ir.take2games.com/ReleaseDetail.cfm?ReleaseID=258238
Anyway, i have faith in R* and i prefer this delay if it's meant for a... good purpose, which means another excellent part of the GTA series :rolleyes:

[Farbror Fazer]

crap... :(

[Maltor124]

Agh, I hate date pushing... They had better add a good amount of extra quality and features in that time...

Disappointing but not to bad it gives me something to ask for for my birthday ( April 1st :D )

[soad667]

Lets put something fresh in this thread ;)

Regarding Euphoria's use in the game, some news have to do with the following...
-Terrain variations bring realistic changes in walking animation.
-Every animation is being created on-the-fly,no more pre-recorded ones.
-People react realisticaly to being hit from guns,cars,melee weapons or fists.
-You are able to push people out of the way,rather than "floating" past them as before.
-Falling people/thrown characters will react as in real life,not just like lifeless ragdolls* or with a one-and-only canned animation like before.
("not just like lifeless ragdolls"? That's sure something very exciting and a problem for the most games (if not all) that use ragdolls)
-People and you will be able to hang on to helicopters and trucks, which will swing them around as the vehicle moves.
-Many different animation sets for breaking into cars, depending your position etc - for example, you smash the side window with elbow,climb in the car and you hotwire it.
(and not only breaking glass and opening it from the inside as i mentioned in my previous post)

Some not-so-physics-based news are...
-You are able to manage your funds at ATMs.
-Realistic cracks on glasses or cars' windscreens after being shot, no longer complete shatters like before.
-It is possible to surf the internet in-game via net cafes or almost anywhere a computer will exist.
-You gain wanted levels for any crime that you commit, providing there are witnesses. Police can only chase you if they know where you are, so if you escape the search area without being spotted, your wanted level will dicrease/disappear.
-Taxis provide an easy/legal way of travelling around the city. You can choose a destination etc.
-Every street in LC has a named street sign.

Last but not least, grab a pic of the special edition...

Hope to see that PCDVD/GamesForWindows mark up there soon :rolleyes:

[OkumTheLostNinja]

No damage modeling!?

[Killa]

No damage modeling!?

O_O.........WHAT?!?!

[Relys]

This... WILL BE AWESOME!

[MrGreed]

I'm so pissed at Sony, Rockstar had some problems with the PS3 version, and then they had to delay the release date to next year instead of 16 oktober! Unfortunately, Rockstar signed a contract saying that they couldn't release the 360 version before the PS3 version!!

Yeah, and another thing, I read an article on Eurogamer, they said that you don't have to be a bad guy, you can just get a normal job and you'll get paid and everything. That's some of the features I'm looking forward to.

[Muntu]

I'm so pissed at Sony, Rokstar had some problems with the PS3 version, and then they had to delay the release date to next year instead of 16 oktober! Unforunately, Rockstar signed a contract saying that they couldn't release the 360 version before the PS3 version!!

Hmm, weird. I haven't heard R* itself telling us the reason for this delay, and relax; The game will probably come in time (january-april), because that shit about delaying it to october is only a rumor.

But if you can a link a site, where R* itself says those, please do. From what I know, you will have a hard time. I haven't been following the news that strictly though, so my "from what I know" means actually nothing

E: And you're pissed at SONY?! Lawl @ j00

[ben clark]

LOL! I srsly can't wait for this game!!! OMGZORS!!! it would be so f-ing awsome if you can have good agility and be able to do parkour!!! :eek:

[Virtue]

No damage modeling!?

He said uses of Euphoria, not all of the physics in the game

[soad667]

Nothing official about another delay, so for the time being it's somewhere between Feb-Apr 2008 :)
An October release could do it well for a PC version, but that's just another rumor which started from... now :D

As for the damage modeling, don't panic! Like Virtue said, i only posted some things around Euphoria's use i hadn't posted before. I don't think there is even the slightest possibility they're going to use Euphoria and won't use a proper physics engine for the rest of the game, like the damage modeling system ;)

[Virtue]

Starting to sound like Spore which was delayed... how many times? I don't even wanna count.

[soad667]

In less than a week, actually on 12/6, a new trailer is coming :eek:
That's a fact :cool: from the "box art trailer" released yesterday (i think), watch it here - http://www.gamershell.com/download_22197.shtml

http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/75/potd/1196290810_2.jpg
Yeah, that's the so-called "final box art" :)

[Relys]

I'll be 100% getting this now that I have a 360! (If I can find a way to get it behind my parents back).

[danahribo]

If it doesn't come out for PC, I'll stab someone.

[Relys]

If it doesn't come out for PC, I'll stab someone.

It probably will. All the other ones have.

You'd need an awesome computer to run it.

[psygo]

Says who?
They didnt say it was overfuxxed kickass game, did they? :P

[edthefirst]

The girl licking the lollipop in the poster made me lol.

[Relys]

The girl licking the lollipop in the poster made me lol.

I see what they did there.;)

[Loplop]

Hasnt there been "that girl" on every case? lol, has anyone used the endorphin program type thingy? Its great to work with tbh, very fun :D

[Odellus]

Sucks. Because if I can't get it by "other means" for the PC, I won't be getting it at all because of the cover. If they just would have left that one little pic of the girl licking the lollipop out, I may have been able to get it. She's hot though. :D

[Relys]

Hasnt there been "that girl" on every case? lol, has anyone used the endorphin program type thingy? Its great to work with tbh, very fun :D

With endorphin, this will probably be the funnest game ever created!

I really like the graphics and the art style in gta games. The lighting makes everything look so real in a simple way.

Will there be more buildings you can go into in this game compared to the previous ones?

Sucks. Because if I can't get it by "other means" for the PC, I won't be getting it at all because of the cover. If they just would have left that one little pic of the girl licking the lollipop out, I may have been able to get it. She's hot though. :D

Yeah, I know. I've always had to get the gta games by "other means".

I wish they didn't have that big fucking "grand theft auto" text on it.

The name is just too infamous. I wish they would scrap it all together!

I'll have to order it off of ebay with a different approved teen game, to sneak it into my house.

[Loplop]

Yes i got thrown out of my friends house cus i took san andreas round :/ go me xD

[Z3R052]

Whats so bad about a girl licking a lollipop, its not like shes licking a cock. I personally like the box art

[Odellus]

It's just that they have a picture of a girl licking the thing. Why would you just have someone licking a lollipop on the front of a game box? You wouldn't. That's because they mean it in a sexual way, and my parents are dicks when it comes to that :P

[Loplop]

there not the, zomg look small underwear COVER HIS EYES HELL BE BLIND!!! kinda ppl are they?

[Odellus]

Yeah, their... well. Depends whether she has a bra on or not or if she's wearing a shirt. It just feels uncomfortable when we're watching a movie and they show a girl in underwear and then both of my parents look at me right when I go to look at them. Oh, and Z3R052, your santa hat is better than mine.

[Z3R052]

You got some strict parents.

It is supposed to be sexual, likely to get male buyers because us men will buy anything with a girl on it. Am I right?

By the way unrelated to this topic in all ways. Does my avatar look like the Grinch now?

[Odellus]

Yeah, your right about the first part. And I know that it's intended to be sexual, but it just bugs me to even have them look at it, because they'll be like "No way." And yeah, just a little bit like the grinch. I'm gonna go back and edit mine here in a minute to have the ball part hang down like your's. It looks a lot better.

[Loplop]

Worst ever moment for me was for me was when i was makin out with my girlfriend and well my mum walked in with my freshly washed underwear, hmm not great.Its almost like in crysis where there is washing lines in some of the little hut village type things.

[Odellus]

2. OMG THEY JUST SAID ASS AND DAMN. OMG UR GOING TO HELL! (So do a lot of E rated games. Looks like everyones going to hell).

I really want this game but i don't have xbox360 or ps3 :(

Let's hope it gets ported just like all the others :)

That looked awesome, for one the car crashes (as well as driving physics) looked amazing.

It was bad.

Oh well, remember that the game isn't finished yet! Everything looks very great! The people don't look very.. real. But they do look good.

I totally love the lighting and architecture every ware. It looks amazing!:D Let's just hope they don't prioritize that over framerates.

Oh, lets remember this is on the ps3. :p There's a pretty big chance it will run smoother on the 360 when it's finally released.

[dsfargeg]

When Gears of War was first shown the framerate was extremely horrible, now it's ok. So I doubt the FPS will be the same.

[AquaGeneral]

When Gears of War was first shown the framerate was extremely horrible, now it's ok. So I doubt the FPS will be the same.

With Saint's Row the frame-rate was pretty bad in the early videos and it did not change much in the final version. But I do think that Rockstar are going to address the framerate.

In the latest video, in the part where the person falls of the building onto the car looked so realistic how the car suspension got affected by that plus the glass windows where damaged.

[Muntu]

Oh, lets remember this is on the ps3. :p There's a pretty big chance it will run smoother on the 360 when it's finally released.

'Tis good multiplatform games are nowadays equal on PS3 and X360 (except for EA's games...), so no worries, it's highly possible that if the game runs bad on PS3, it runs bad on X360. BTW, that's from X360's version. Almost every video of a multiplatform game runs on X360.

Ugh, sleepy, alot of tyyypooos me thinks not yes

Don't worry, eventually Rockstar'll release a PC version too, they always do...Btw, i saw a "clucking bell" ad in the video! :D

Ps3 is more poweful..... i got that from an xbox 360 mag so atleast they no it themselves.

[soad667]

Just saw the trailer, i like how this game getting 'shape' day by day 'til its release :rolleyes:
And i love how R* will make a PC port because we love them and they know it :eek:
Too much love here, need to 'slow down' a little - going to watch the trailer again...

Btw, R.A.G.E. (R*'s and not the freeware engine with the same name)... evolves :cool: around physics, graphics and online portions. And they made a deal with Natural Motion to implement Euphoria in their engine - so now R.A.G.E. is a more unique engine on its own...

[Relys]

Ps3 is more poweful..... i got that from an xbox 360 mag so atleast they no it themselves.

Not really, because there's bottlenecking issues, and it's hard to program for.

The specs are better, but there's stuff in the way that makes it worse.

Yeah that would make sense. They most likely have the talent and the money to develop their own. I think they actually have said it's their own engine, or words implying that.

I've just finnished er... *buying* GTA:SA for PC, and I was wondering if anyone knows of a mod that replaces the animation with ragdoll physics for the pedestrian deaths?

I'm excited for the ability to just cruise around like in real life with the day/night cycle. (They have one, right?) That would definitely be my favorite part, because I always wanted a game where I could just drive around in a car, motorcycle or whatever and have some fun with the physics.

The answer is no.

I am part of that huge modding community and it is not possible/extremely difficult to do. The game animations are just that there is no link for animations- physics. But GTAIV will! ( no animations whatso ever)

Haha I also *bought san andreas* after I actually used money for version 2 wich is a no no for modding.

Besides no one really messes with the animations anyway.

*You need to pay if you want to cross a bridge

Need to pay? Not in GTA :p

Btw, i hope passing a red light or driving at the wrong lane will be a reason for police to chase you and not just staring at you with no reaction, like in previous GTAs. Or jumping on a police car and the cops inside just watching you :o Small changes that add to the whole feeling...

[ZRCollins]

That's been confirmed in their latest interview. If you pretty much do anything that would be considered a normal crime, with witnesses, you will gain a wanted level. That includes running a red light.

I don't see how grabbing on to the car and being dragged is:

1) Avoiding being hit.
2) Being smart. Who in their right mind would grab a moving vehicle and continue to hold on? Is this just Star Wars: Force Unleashed inspired?

Uh... yeah, it's no secret GTA4 will have physics. Hence the main selling point being the upgrade in physics. And everybody in the thread discussing it's physics. And the thread being made upon news of it's physics. And the game being posted on a physics forum without getting locked.

Oh man, sounds amazing. I'll probably end up spending days just going on rampages before even playing the first mission. Good to know that there's no framerate problems, too. *cough Mass Effect cough*

Too right mate! Hanging out of the car window with accurate targetting system and grenades at your disposal. Thats a game worth playing just for that! Im booking two weeks off work for this one, screw a holiday lol! :D

Thats easy to sort out, u can turn off motion blur and it roxx lol.

I got used to it after awhile. I'm a sucker for motion blur, so I let it be.

[Loplop]

Lol the only time i actually notice motion blur is on crysis when i go into maximum strength and punch a jeep thats about to run me over.

Truly one of the greatest moments in gaming history. :p

There's an idea... we need a GTA game with the suit from Crysis :D Kind of like Crackdown, but with better physics.

[Loplop]

Nah we need GTA 4 with DMM!

[Dj Demetrius]

Nah we need GTA 4 with DMM!

And big katanas!
Motion blur is the coolest postprocessing shader since HDR imo :D
Test Drive Unlimited has a really cool option where you can change the amount of Motion blur :D :D

[Loplop]

I kno yeh but tdu's motion blur seems too much like NFSU motion blur when you use the nitrous, i dont really like motion blur though, i feel that you dont need it because if u are going fast enough to actually see motion blur you can usually notice motion blur in games that dont even have it.

[Loplop]

OH MY GOD:
And GTA quickly worked its time-eating, hypnotic magic. It sucked us in. Headfirst. We start by stealing a car - a plain old Vincent sedan - and before we know it we've spent 20 minutes on an intensive carjacking spree. But it's so much fun. Warmly familiar, yet exhilaratingly fresh at the same time. When the downtime is this enjoyable, who needs missions?

We hammer the Vincent around for a bit. The scenery blurs as we hit a respectable speed. We try the handbrake and discover that it's not quite as amiable as we were expecting. The car spins out of control and slams into a wall. Niko's body shifts and jerks in the seat against the force of the impact. The handbrake feels like it'll take some taming. The windshield is smashed and the front right-side wing is knackered - the bodywork is crumpled and the wheel has buckled violently. The handling is shafted - prior to the wall collision it was lively and responsive, now it feels sluggish and the damaged tyre drags the car off-centre.

Abandoning the Vincent, we search out other vehicles. We slip behind the wheel of a Rancher pick-up, then a backfiring and completely wrecked out Blista Compact, then a meaty-sounding Vigero muscle car, then a sporty metallic blue Banshee with a distinctive black stripe on its bonnet. We're spoilt for choice. All the cars we test-drive handle with varying degrees of satisfaction. The Vigero is a feisty mover, but our absolute bestest beast would have to be our old pal, the fast-as-buck Banshee. It's a dream to drive and now comes with added exhaust-flame popping.

Some leaked info on two of the radio stations. I dont know about you but the radio stations in GTA are a big highlight for me. The way they report on your actions etc is legendary! Its meant to be even more interactive in this 4th outing, you can even listen to the radio on your mobile phone when roaming the streets!!!! Hurrah, its about time!

Is it confirmed there will be pedestrians etc in MP? Since it's quite the large amount of network data it will require.

* Belic means "Warlike"
* Times Squares big and covered in ads
* In DeathMatch its confined to an area on the map to keep the action intense
* In TeamDeath match four can sit in a helicopter/car, the non drives can shoot with any weapon they have, not just uzi/pistols
* MAFIYA WORK consists off you being given simply missions as a group and having to pull them off i.e. recruit people, doing hits or there favorite find and dispose of heads
* Team MAFIYA WORK is more competitive the Mafiya work but fundelmendaly the same thing
* Cops n Crooks consists of one player being assigned as the boss while the other robbers protect him from the cops, they must take him to a secure location before he is killed.
* Hangmans NOOSE is four players and consists of you having to protect Petrovic from the swat from the airport to a safe house
* Free Mode is like single player with mates . Go anywhere do anything (EPIC!!!)
* On customisation the more you play the more you unlock so experienced players will have more items to choose from.
* Team Dethmatch is relentless, you cannot relax
* In HANGMANS NOOSE they tore down the runway in a baggage handler shooting at the SWAT- The writer said it was the funniest thing he has seen in a video game
* They saw an NPC tagging a shop wall and another ped taking photo's, peds now have a purpose
* they shot a rocket at the npc it destroyed the front of the shop leaving a hole in the wall and set the body flying through the area, eventually hitting the ground in a lifeless clump
* They played both versions Xbox and PS3 and said there's no difference (Kinda weird for Play magazine because they are usually really biased)
* Police have lines of sight so hding in alley ways and roofs is possible though you must still get out of the radius
* Rowing Boats are comfirmed as they used them to escape from the police after setting fire to hot dog stands biggrin.gif
* Rockstar hinted at the amusmant park having loads to do within it

PLAY magazine had the chance to try out the new multiplayer. April will officially be the longest month of my life.

E: Oh yeah, source: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=319080
