GTAPS3 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 We all know that you will be able to swim in GTA4. Do you think it will be like san andreas were you can swim forever, or vice city stories were you will drown after a while?

Aimee Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 or vice city stories were you will drown after a while? I came in to mention that, that pissed me off. So it better not be like that!

jomiyo Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 ^Yeah, it better not. But I hope peds can swim and pretty much do what we can (jump/fall out of boats and either swim to shore or climb back in a boat). I'm not really worried about anything else besides that.

YourNeighborhoodKiller Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I hope when he gets out, you will see the effects it made on he's clothes, like in Uncharted. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/307828-swimming/#findComment-1057419711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonrock Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hope it will be like San Andreas, but more realistic. I was getting really tired in Vice City and Liberty City Stories of the drowning.

Zombified Jake Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I hope when he gets out, you will see the effects it made on he's clothes, like in Uncharted. Yeah, I saw a video of that and it looked amazing. (Can't play it though, I have an Xbox 360) And to anyone here, I have never played Vice City Stories and you are saying that you drown after a while. How long?

NYC PATROL Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Swimming in gta4 should be quite fun, realistic and all,I hope clothes become wet for a little then dry. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/307828-swimming/#findComment-1057419862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModelMan Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Yeah Of course swimming is going to be in the game!i!i Every Game Starting From San Andreas Has Had Swimming---Remember S.A I'm Like Driving Suddenly I fell Into One Of The Rivers So I'm Mad 'Oh man' I'm Waiting For The Wasted 2 Come Up And Then Don't Tell Mr You Can Actually Swim So I Got Out Of The Car And Swam. Good Feature, At Least You Weren't Scared While Near The Ocean And Lakes.....Then Came Scarface, With The Beautiful Scenario Too Realistic, Who Knew The Waters Of Miami Were Filled Man Flesh Eating Sharks, Every Time You Started To Swim A Little Too Long You We're Eaten By Sharks.....But Nothing Beats The Swimming And Effects Of Uncharted, Even In The Cut Scenes Beautiful. When He Gets In The Water He Gets All Wet And You Can Actually See The Dripping, And The Kool Thing Is That When You Walk In A Pool Of Water Where Only You're Feet Are In Thats The Only Part Where It Gets Wet So Yup Its Realistic Hopefully GTA IV Has Similarities To Uncharted.

KillerKabel Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Think it could be a good way of making Niko not able to go into the other areas (Assuming areas are locked at the start of the game), simply making him drown...

Yeah, although they said we could swim to the statue of happiness, so i doubt it will be like LCS where you drown. Good thought though.

And, I'm thinking more like cheasy animation at the same exact place every time... Untill you unlock that area...

Deuce Deuce Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 It would seem logical for Niko's swim meter to decrease while underwater as opposed to just swimming level with it. That said, in real life, it's virtually impossible to stay in deep water without losing energy, so I hope R* do something about that while still keeping it a steady and enjoyable feature.

ceedot Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I think it would be better if you can swim for a long time(maybe forever), considering Niko looks like a built, strong man. Maybe a 'Swimming' skill to improve? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/307828-swimming/#findComment-1057420650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_hrkac Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 i think that in GTA IV when you swim on the surface of the water it is very hard to drown if you stay afloat but as your body wears out and tires than you won't be able to hold your self up in the water thus you wil drown thats what it should be like in GTA IV Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/307828-swimming/#findComment-1057420731 Share on other sites More sharing options...

xheartshapebox Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I just wanna be able to go deep under the water like in San Andreas, i loved exploring all that, it annoyed me in vice city stories where you could only stay on the surface.
