hawkstorm182 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) This topic is a discussion of what you would like to see from weather effects. I would personally like to see a real improvment in rain because in VC and SA it would rain for like a minute then clear instantly and stuff. In GTAIV i would like the feeling that it was going to rain and a more realistic response from peds like they take cover or have umbrellas. Maybe you want the same or maybe weather updates on the radio. let me and others know whatever it may be. I also commented on something i did not like so please feel free to not only comment on what you want to see but what you dont want to see with the weather effects!!

Vendetta IV Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Its not what I want to see, but rather what I don't want to see. For me at least, most nights in San Andreas were accompanied by Fog (at least in SF where I spend most of my time doing stunts) And the fog was really, well, crappy. I'd like to see either better fog or none at all. I'd like to see a small moon too if that fits with the topic, I dunno why but it always bothered me how the moon looked like it was going to collide with the Earth.

KillerKabel Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 No more orange stuff at night... No snow... Better rain... And yea, raining for longer, and you'd see the skys starting to gather.. And people would see cover,... Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/307013-weather-effects/#findComment-1057402700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phs1234 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 No more orange stuff at night... That was to capture Los Angele's atmosphere, it won't be returning for LC. No snow... Why on earth would you not want it? Better rain... And yea, raining for longer, and you'd see the skys starting to gather.. And people would see cover,... Basically agree there.

xCOMMANDOx Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I really think it would be neat to have snow. It doesn't need to lay on the ground, but rather just fall like on the map Bloc from Call of Duty 4.

Gangster07 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 like to see snow,but it I wouldnt like it to appear out of nowhere. If it rained I would like to see puddles build up and when it stopped it would still be wet for a while Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/307013-weather-effects/#findComment-1057402829 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike12 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I think if we have snow, then we'll need some sort of calendar. Different weather with different seasons would be the best way to do it.

hollabackds Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 i want to see realistic weather such as fog, rain, snow, even acid rain, lol plus when its hot, the peds are dressed in shorts, and when its cold everyone has the smoke effect when out side...

mickarrow Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Snow would be nice.... ice would be better. Freezing cold so you can't start the car, blow smoke when you speak, can't use guns you pick-up off the street cause they're frozen..... numerous frustrating and funny extras Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/307013-weather-effects/#findComment-1057402920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 The rain effects we see in trailer 3 are very similar to Call Of duty IV. Which is nice. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/307013-weather-effects/#findComment-1057402927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagga rabbit Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I like the "sound" of weather..thunderstorms and wind add to the feel of the game. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/307013-weather-effects/#findComment-1057402948 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sounds are something R* need to improve on in general. Cars, guns, and storms.

RidingHigh Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hail would be cool. Lightening would be even better. Real visible flashes with loud rumblings. I hope peds make comments on the weather too. "Sonofabitch its raining again! And I just got this car washed!"... If snow "Oh, I'm walkin' in a winter sh*thole land"... "All this coldness is making my nips hard"... "Went to sleep in Liberty City, woke up in Antarctica" Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/307013-weather-effects/#findComment-1057403033 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le_Joker Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 can't use guns you pick-up off the street cause they're frozen..... numerous frustrating and funny extras ... This, children, is how anti-realists are born. Personally, I just want it to capture New York. In the past, they've managed to use weather to capture the mood of every place very well. Liberty City was dank and depressing, Vice City was sunny and warm but with coastal rainstorms, and San Andreas had different weather for each part of the map to fit the theme of the region. If they can do it again, I'll be satisfied enough. Also, a quick semi-Off topic question: Is San Fransisco really that rainy and foggy?

I dont know, never been could be I like the idea of thunderstorms really good and also i want the introduction of interior exterior effects so you can see its raining when inside etc. evidence of this was shown in trailer 3 but that looked like a cut scene i want it during gameplay.

Hope Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 This kind-of goes along with weather: -No more Mars sunsets, like in San Andreas -Despite them saying, for SA, that grainy rain-effects are realistic - I've never seen any in my life -No more potently colored skies which turn the ground and objects the color of the sky (like San Andreas) -SA was claimed to have "realistic shadowing," but they forgot something, they forgot that your eyes naturally adjust to less light so you can see better - it was just too hard to see in San Andreas, even with the brightness turned-up, not realistic at all.. (PS2 version, can't remember if it was like such on the PC) I couldn't think of any weather-related things that bothered me in III, maybe just in Vice City the night color tones were sometimes boring.

RC_LOVE21 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 what about a tornado every now and then? tornado sirens would go off and you would see one off the coast. it would get windy and the peds would get scared and run. that would be awesome Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/307013-weather-effects/#findComment-1057403694 Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddgamer2 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 i hope they add puddles and things like that when it rains so you can drive through them and spray water on the peds that are walking bye and the map on call of duty 4 fogot the name but its on a boat has great sounds when it comes to thunderstorms i turn my speakers up and it sounds great it looks alright but would be nice if the lightning would hit sumthing on the ground eventually Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/307013-weather-effects/#findComment-1057404214 Share on other sites More sharing options...
